I remember "ordering" those silicon Wii condoms (they were freely distributed as a measure of people breaking shit, hurting other family members, etc because people wouldn't use the wrist straps), and was so proud of getting away with ordering 4 while I only had 3 Wiimotes. I really thought I stuck it to the big company :p

So it’s your fault Nintendo is still trying to play catch up financially and that’s why they are so aggressively going after emulators, modders, and content creators smh

So it’s your fault Nintendo is still trying to play catch up financially

Are you aware of how much savings Nintendo has? Out of all Japanese companies they have the highest cash holding. They could literally go for 2 years without any income and still pay all of their employees wages and other expenses before running out of cash, and then they would still have all of their non-liquid assets.

Nintendo doesn't need to catch up financially, they are doing amazing

I didn’t think I would have to tag such an asinine comment as sarcasm but here we are

Competition Pro 4 Life. Those were indestructible.

Dang, I still have that boi!

I had one like this but my table top had a bumpy pattern so the suction cups wouldn't hold. I played old Atari hits I'd gotten from a Cornflakes CD-ROM like Centipede etc.. Good times

I am more than double Wii old 😢

[-] SlippiHUD@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

That can't... oh, well fuck.

[-] Routhinator@startrek.website 7 points 7 months ago

I see folks sharing a lot of joysticks I started with, but I think I'll go with the original Wiimote

I love that scene. I don't remember the glove ever being that responsive to motion controls 🤣

Full scene for the uninitiated

Man the Wii is so old, I still remember playing it on a tube TV.

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 6 points 7 months ago

Am I the only one who still thinks the Wii is pretty futuristic feeling? C'mon you wave a controller around without pressing any buttons and shit on the screen moves that's wild!

[-] MadBob@feddit.nl 5 points 7 months ago

I released one just this morning.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Yikes that is chilling

[-] Pacmanlives@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I am so old I remember the Wii-mote being sold without the condom that they started selling after so many people broke their new expansive flatscreen tv’s. Tube tvs faired better

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 7 months ago

Maybe I have spent way too much time on the internet. That Wii Remote shape looks like it’s for someone’s pleasure.
