Is the Wii good? (lemmy.zip)

I hold the Wii pretty high in my head. However, I also know that the grass is often very green on the other side.

Is it actually as fun as I remember? I see that a lot of the classic games are pretty rare so that is not reassuring.

Except who actually is old enough to remember the N64? It is old enough that that demographic is small

The same people who are old enough to remember the NES/SNES, and anyone slightly younger

Older Millenials and Gen X, the same ones that grew up with the NES and SNES. Not small at all

Edit: Roughly 180 Million people in the US alive today, were 7 years old or older when the N64 released in 1996. Which is about 55% of the US population.
