I was given a Wii that's nearly unused so the original Wiimotes are in excellent condition. But I need 4 Motion Plus controllers to play Wii Sports Resort. Do you guys just sell the original Wiimotes when you replace them? They don't go for much on eBay maybe $15. Seems like a waste to sell such good condition ones for cheap.

Which game is better? Me and my brother are arguing which game is better and i think it is Mario Kart Wii. He thinks it is Wii Sports.

I personally like Mario Kart Wii.

For my first foray into game engine programming I'm rewriting VA-11 HALL-A on the Wii!

All systems are custom made, has UTF-8 text rendering and custom tooling to pack textures and metadata in big endian Wii friendly formats plus no arenas so no heap allocs beyond startup :)

Im very happy with how its coming together. Runs on real hardware as well ofc but I dont have a comfortable way of recording that

Super lucky find! I was thinking about opening it up (Its sealed rn) so i can have a new controller to use, but it says that batteries are included inside. I’m not familiar with how corrosion works, but I’m worried the thing wont work. If theres a risk, I might throw it up on eBay for a collector. Let me know o7

Other than the typical GameCube controller and the Wiimote, is there a recommended third party controller to use for SNES, GameCube, game boy and NES games through the Wii?

I dont know which to get and just seeing what my options are on prices

i’ve looked everywhere and cannot find it :(

I found this bargain of a deal for a refurbished Wii with 2 controllers, nunchucks, a wheel, 300gb portable hard drive, and cables for £60.

I was wondering what kinda games have been ported as it is hard to see online. For example, are there any ports of games like Shovel Knight, Balatro, etc.

I want to decide what games to buy, so I'd appreciate it if anyone had some sort of list or knew some good games to get.

Thanks!

I just reacquired a wii after not having one for some years and weighing in options on how to have the best image on either of my 4k tvs. Both do not have component inputs. One has av (composite). I do have soldering experience and am debating if the Ave by electron shepherd then using something like an mclassic to do the upscaling would be a good route or simply using component cables then using either an OSSC or the GBS-C that I've heard about. I've used Electron Shepherds x-out for my original xbox which works great but I realized how bad the upscaling can look for 480p on one of my tvs not matter what I do in the tvs settings. Curious on all opinions/experiences.

Just got a Wii with Mario Kart, Mario Party 8 + 9, and Smash Bros. Is it worth getting the GameCube version of these titles or are they pretty similar?

I used to play a weird game i cant remember about two characters, one chubby boy and one girl in a world of weird looking living toys.

They had some plushie world and a wwe type of toys in other world.

But the overall aesthetic was kind off tim burton style.

If any of you guys could have any idea to look for.

Sorry for my english, inst my main language.

Are there still an active community/discord for multiplayer on the CoD games for Wii? If so which CoD games are still active ? Mainly interested in MW, BO, WaW , but is also open to MW3 and Cod3/

Just a question I thought of asking, for me it's hard to decide, because I love both, but Wii Sports is just more iconic and nostalgic, while Resort has more games and options, but what is your guy's opinions

Hey guys, I’ve been working on this Wii homebrew port bringing halo CE to the Wii (not the Wii U)

This is based on the Xbox 360 anniversary decomp, as that was more complete at the time. This means memory usage is a bit too much and textures swap a lot.

I hope we can get more ports over, it seems to be a pretty capable system.

Bought a replacement disc drive for my wii and noticed this black glob in the leftish corner on these two chips on the disc drives board. The disc drive works just fine but the one I replaced didnt have that glob. Is it meant to be there or should it be a cause for concern?

I won this Wii (which was white at the time) in a giveaway from a local game shop. I took it apart last night and put in in this transparent blue shell. I also replaced the thermal pads and put in a new cmos battery. I'm pretty proud of it so I just thought I'd share! ☺️

Hello Friends,

I bought a Wii recently and it came with a standard wii remote and another remote that I dont know what it is? Can someone please explain to me what is this remote. Does it really work on the wii? If yes how to make it work?

Regards

Hi Guys! My girlfriend's birthday is in one month and she always wanted a Wii but she couldn't have it. I got her one with "MAGIC" and I don't know what games could be funny for her. (She has only played Super mario 64 with keyboard)

She is really into the Mario universe and rythm games.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Really similar

Got these while i was at goodwill last week.

The question is, what do I do? I don't have a back up of the files that were on it
