@graf It could be worse brother you could be nostalgic for the wii
@DEERBLOOD @graf People went bananas for this thing when it released but it has no footprint in the emulation scene and it's been basically forgotten at this point
WiiU has more relevance
The Wii's only legacy is Wii Sports
Which is crazy because the Wii was HUGE for so long

Motion controls were the worst idea ever and we collectively agree and never mention its existence.
@monsterislandcolonizer @graf I had every Nintendo console up to the wii and when it came out I just didnt see the point
@graf niggas born in 2008 turn 18yo this year
@graf it's a 20 year old console Grafman....
the Wii shop channel music is an enduring cultural legacy, other than that ehh. doesn’t help that this was the generation where rereleases on the next generations of consoles became the norm so 90% of its notable games are playable on the Wii U or switch and never really left circulation as it were. nostalgia requires some distance in time and when everything is always available that doesn’t really happen anymore.
@merchantHelios @graf the PS4 is 13 years old, it's a retro console
@merchantHelios @graf no one tell graf how old halo: combat evolved is now
@monsterislandcolonizer @DEERBLOOD @graf the wii "has no footprint in emulation" because the emulator for gamecube (dolphin) is the same one used for wii, the original hardware arquitecture for the wii during development was 2 gamecube boards superglued together, even early devkits were internally twice of the gamecube hardware with a couple extra modules for OS, internet and bluetooth, the release console just had all the hardware integrated into a single board

Graphics have plateaued in a such a way that "retro" consoles no longer exist after the PS3. The graphical fidelity difference between the ps4/xbone and every console after is negligible at best.
@graf There's college freshmen now who played the Switch 1 in 3rd grade.
