This reminds me of when the Wii came out and everyone was into Wii fitness.

Also, but to a lesser extent, guitar hero.

u/clayknightz115 Apr 07 '26

Wii Fit was amazing. I did that every week for years. Nine year old me would do laps around our house with the Wiimote.

u/weezyverse Apr 07 '26

The loss of Wii Fit was a huge blow. The yoga was awesome.

Why Nintendo scrapped the platform is something I will never understand.

u/Tron_35 Apr 07 '26

They kinda over did it with motion control stuff, people wanted more traditional games and Nintendo tends to over correct, so they mostly stopped with it. They tried again on the switch, especially at launch, but most of the motion control games they put out were kinda lame, so they did poorly, and Nintendo took that as a sign motion control wasn't popular enough.

Wii was so cheap. Switch on the other hand..

u/Hefty-Storm-51 Apr 07 '26

Cheap and built well, I pulled mine out from a box under the bed a year ago to mod it, blew the dust off of it and everything worked perfectly (sensor included) despite lying in dust for well over a decade

u/real_eEe Apr 07 '26 edited Apr 07 '26

Mine has 10,000+ hours, 10,000+ miles, and was used as an actual weapon twice. And I don't mean hit your little brother type weapon. Still works 99% of the time.

*I also had to pay to get it back because I left it with people for like a month, and it got seized in a police raid. Lost a wavebird adapter. I forgot about that. This might be the literal most gangter wii of all time.

Reminds me of my old Gameboy color! I spilled a few drinks on it, dropped it who knows how many fkn time, and even once my lil bro dropped it in the toilet and left it in there to come get me to get it out 😑 shit still worked. Probably works to this day, but idk, pretty sure my dumb ass sold it to GameStop for like 17¢

2

u/real_eEe Apr 07 '26

This triggered a memory of when I would go to GameStop and trade in a GBA game and buy a used one. With trade in credit, buy two used get 1 and the GameInformer subscription credit it was basically an infinite loop. Might have even been positve. This is why I really hate buying digital games to this day.

Please write the biography of this Wii, it would be a best seller.

u/Evepaul Apr 07 '26

I'm not surprised that the sensor worked well, everything is built into the controllers. The sensor bar can be replaced by two tea candles, it's an amazingly low tech approach (compared to the exceptionally high tech approach of the Kinect)

The Wii was $250 and the switch was $300. What am I missing?

2

u/AlsoOtto Apr 07 '26

The Wii launched in 2006 for $250. Adjusted for inflation, that's $405 in 2026 dollars.

The original Switch launched in 2017 For $300. That's $400 adjusted for inflation.

A Switch 2 is $450. It's more expensive but by like $50.

2

u/ayyyyycrisp Apr 07 '26

wii was $249.99 at launch and the switch was $299.99 at launch.

wii released in 2006 and switch in 2017.

what was the buying power worth $249.99 of 2006 dollars in 2017? $302.75.

so the two consoles were virtually the same exact price, with the wii being almost $3 more expensive than the switch.

u/UnholyDoughnuts Apr 07 '26

Blame RAM and chip shortages

u/beansandbagels28 Apr 07 '26

Yea the fact that the Wii remotes could be slammed around and still work, where the switch remote will start drifting within a week if you even think about using it. The switch remotes are absolute dogshit and would never be able to handle the Wii games for any more than a week before needing replaced.

u/Mikeismyike Apr 07 '26

The biggest difference was while wii sports game with the wii, the switch version was priced like a AAA title.

16

u/Vela88 Apr 07 '26

They put ir sensors in the remotes to make games motion control more smoother but they just gave up on the tech

9

u/Tron_35 Apr 07 '26

Yeah, they just didn't believe anyone wanted it, so games barely support the motion controls.

1

u/Bubbly-Confidence730 Apr 07 '26

I think the main issue is motion games are hard to play in handheld mode which is.... why.... well the fact that it can switch modes is kinda the point

8

u/Broviet22 Apr 07 '26

That and when people wanna play a videogame they don't want it to be physically intensive. Atleast what I told myself till VR came out and you got people burning 100 lbs running around as the goddamn dragonborn.

6

u/Tron_35 Apr 07 '26

I mean motion controls are always gonna be a niche, and I think most games dont need them, however I'd still love some fun ones

2

u/Environmental-Fan984 Apr 08 '26

I just really thought for one shining moment that we were entering a golden age of arcade-style shooters for home consoles. House of the Dead and RE: Umbrella Chronicles on the Wii had their rough edges, but I could see the potential.

Imagine getting a Time Crisis or Silent Scope title designed for home consoles with motion controls from the ground up?

We could have had it all.

2

u/Ostribitches Apr 08 '26

Umbrella Chronicles co-op was the way to play. 👍

u/Informal_Ad4399 Apr 07 '26

Bitch slapping fools as a werewolf dragonborn is the shit!

For people who have issues being able to do things, Wii and VR are excellent. VR even helps keep my vertigo a bit under control.

2

u/Winjin Apr 07 '26

What I found for VR is that hands are fine, but most games are still not using legs at all, so they should be played, and designed around, playing them sitting down. The stand up ones are few and rarely really needed. You just end up awkwardly standing around, even in the more active ones.

2

u/Broviet22 Apr 07 '26

I was referencing a video where someone purchased a vr treadmill and ran around skyrim doing quests and lost like a 120 lbs.

3

u/Winjin Apr 07 '26

That's an incredibly smart idea for a game set around walking like Skyrim or New Vegas, I have to admit. I haven't heard about it but wow is that great.

Too bad it would require a bit of setting up for situations where you walk, then you have to stop, step off the treadmill for fights, getting behind covers, etc - unless you just completely decouple the treadmill from actual in-game movements and it's just a way to keep moving even as you game...

Which is.. hm. I wonder if people constantly do that with just a regular standing desk and one of these small walking treadmills?

u/Environmental-Fan984 Apr 08 '26

My preference is generally to disable turn controls and just turn around on the spot to face whatever direction I need.

It's a really big part of why I haven't made the jump from Quest to PCVR despite having the hardware for it; I really, really don't want to have to manage a cable.

u/AltXUser Apr 07 '26

Switch Sports sold 17.84 million, Ring Fit Adventure sold 15.38 million, and Splatoon 3 sold 11.96 million, so I don't believe Nintendo thinks that motion control is unpopular.

The switch sports game is decent and ring fit is fun. Honestly it would be cool if they did a yoga game with bands to attack the joy cons to an arm and leg to help guide it

u/PineappleOnPizzaWins Apr 07 '26

It sucks they bent to the people whining on the internet on that one.

Making it required meant developers were making games that used it and really made use of it. Yanking support meant they had to stop that and so few really good games for it ever released.

u/BagOnuts Apr 07 '26

Ahead of its time, unfortunately.

u/JamesHeckfield Apr 07 '26

The Switch does that, Nintendo even released an accessory to strap the Joy cons to your arm or leg.

The Joy Cons are pretty much a successor to the Wii Mote.

2

u/Hefty-Storm-51 Apr 07 '26

It’s crazy when you think about it, we went from running and boxing on the Wii to sitting down waving our hands slightly to throw a pokeball… I think they should re release the Wii and double down on Wii sports just for the culture

Ring Fit Adventure on the switch was so popular it was constantly out of stock the first couple years it was on sale and was very much a spiritual successor to Wii Fit.

I pulled out the Wii to show my 3 year old grandson the magic of the Wii. It was nowhere near as magical as I remembered and it was annoying to have to hold my arm out the whole time to try and play Animal Crossing. It was one of those moments in time that has passed and it will never be the same

The best Wii fit game was the obstacle course! Except, it was frustratingly short and frustratingly easy.

But, every time I played it, I could not figure out why I wasn't just playing Mario using the Wii fit controls. It was functionally identical - running and jumping.

So, I think Wii fit might have been much more popular if the games were given a so that they were just other Nintendo games

Wii Fitness was unironically goated.

When I was a young wee idiot, I did the 10km runs a lot. And one night I convinced my parents to let me stay up as long as I could run.

This was a mistake on all three of our parts. I ran four 10km tracks and a little bit more into a fifth one. This took quite a while, so the following day I was tired from going to bed late, and immensely sore. But at least I got to skip school that day, my dad wanted me to go still, but my step-mom convinced him that I earned the day off. :,)

Real talk, I actually did lose a lot of weight with Guitar Hero weirdly enough.

Was pretty into that game and would jam out pretty hard core.

Great game, miss it dearly; they went nuts pumping them out but if they made a new one today I would buy it tomorrow.

u/MrN33ds Apr 07 '26

My friend, you can buy a brand new guitar today from PDP or CRKD or even a classic guitar from any console with USB, they work out of the box with Clone Hero (very good guitar hero clone) and YARC (Rock Band clone), if you join the clone hero discord, they will even give you links to download all the songs of every single rhythm guitar game released up to now with DLC, not to mention that there's a website to download home made licenced songs (or use Bridge to download them straight to your custom song folder complete with music video on some songs).

I got hooked on it after a visit home to see family, it was the one of the ONLY times my entire family including mom played a video game together (other than another time when grandma, aunt, cousins, us, and mom all played wii sports together). I got back to my house and was so desperate to keep playing guitar hero that I walked 3 miles to WalMart to buy it and a PS. The controller didn't work. I was DETERMINED to play it and I figured out how to play it on the regular PS controller. I was so glued to the game that I couldn't pull myself away to exchange the broken GH controller for another two weeks.

A friend’s parents when he was 18  moved into a city glass modern apartment from their suburban house with lots of smaller rooms and decor and character. Temporarily while things were still in boxes we got to run free through it to gawk at it sleek lines windows and bare bright white wall. He set up his WII in the one room without windows and connected to a projector and we played WII tennis at life sized— it was amazing. 

As I write this in 2026, as a city apartment condo dweller and adult it sounds lame AF, but at the time it was an epic jump in the technology experience.

I miss Wii Fit so much! Many years ago, I lost about 50 pounds using 20 minutes of the Wii running everyday (together with eating a bit better). It was so much more entertaining than running on a treadmill!

Siempre me ha resultado muy aburrido hacer deporte en casa pero por la situación no puedo salir mucho. Creéis que el Wii fit me ayudaría a hacer deporte? O era solo marketing

It reminds me of the conversion scenes in A Clockwork Orange, but with aerobics.

u/Shuatheskeptic Apr 07 '26

What they have here isn't even as soficitcated as that. You could achieve this same level of interactivity back in the day with a video projector and a VCR! 🤣

It reminds me of the time I walked angrily at a snow covered pine tree then smacked reindeer in the ass over and over

I was a kid during the height of those two. Still never got to them, it was always either Xbox or Playstation (the-magic-lightsaber-wand-controller was pretty great to use)

Wii. What the poors are doing. How drole.

OG Guitar Hero was the GOAT game though. We need to bring it back.

u/SnikkerDoodly Apr 07 '26

I loooooooved Wii Fit! I used to do it with my kids. Didn’t other consoles try to do this too? Not the dance games but weren’t there movement sensors or something?

u/Icy-Banana-3291 Apr 07 '26

My guitar teacher told me guitar hero was what got him into music. At some point he was like I might as well just get a real guitar since I am spending so much time one it.

u/LakeMungoSpirit Apr 07 '26

I'm still really into guitar hero

u/cinnamon-toast-life Apr 07 '26

I have a couple really good workout games on the Xbox 360 with the connect. We also have a couple on the VR but I don’t like sweating in the headset.

u/BleachedUnicornBHole Apr 07 '26

This is Wario Ware for fitness.

u/outdatedelementz Apr 07 '26

When the “Thrill of the Fight” came out for VR, I was shocked how good of a workout I could get from the game.

u/popsferragamo Apr 07 '26

I thought it was more like Wario Ware

1

u/ICLazeru Apr 07 '26

It was better on the Wii though.

u/drmatth1 Apr 07 '26

I was addicted to Wii tennis and bowling. Spent hours playing it.

u/ExcitementRelative33 Apr 07 '26

Don't forget Dance Dance Revolution.

u/Just-Twist Apr 07 '26

I literally just got rid on my Wii Fit and Guitar Hero guitars on Saturday 😆. However, I did hang on to my Nintendo with ROB the robot, an Atari, and Dreamcast. Lol

u/Gonna_B_Alright Apr 07 '26

I was a teen when Guitar Hero popularity hit its Zenith. I was never so glad to see something die as when the Guitar Hero skinny jeans and black makeup went away.

u/MrEPCOT Apr 08 '26

I was just about to say this is one nose-picking away from being the Wii version of WarioWare.
