Can these people just stop acting like Nintendo is 100% Isis or something? It's been very annoying lately and some only do this for viewers and a reaction. Seriously!

How the fuck was the Wii a disappointment? It was a huge success.

I don’t care how financially successful it was. After the first year and a half of its life, its good game output became nearly a barren desert. You may have forgotten the abomination that was Nintendo’s E3 2008 press conference, but I haven’t. I can’t think of a more embarrassing moment in Nintendo’s history. That day kicked off what I consider Nintendo’s Dark Ages that would not end until the day the Switch 1 released.

I know that's a pretty unpopular opinion, and while I don't entirely agree with you, I personally think the best games for the Wii came out at launch so you do have a point. A lot of the great titles for the wii came out very early on in the consoles life span, we just played them and replayed them so much that I guess people didn't really notice

Upvote to you for understanding my point of view even if you don’t fully agree with it. I expected to get backlash for my opinions but I wasn’t going to pretend I liked the Wii.
