#wii — Public Fediverse posts

If you’ve ever asked who plays the Wii in 2026?

Only I would be that one person to drag out consoles that are years and years old. 😅

I played the Wii like crazy as well as my PlayStation 3 back when it was really big.

Didn’t have Mario Kart Wii when it first came out but my close friend and neighbor had it and loved playing it.

Just added this to the collection and it is in excellent condition. 😁

Spider-Man 3 with Harry Steele (Games On Film)

Let’s talk about Spider-Man 3, the movie where Sam Raimi looked at “menacing single antagonist” and said no thank you, I would like three, please, and also I would like Peter Parker to dance down the street like he’s auditioning for a jazz-hands cult. It’s a movie that tried to do everything, mostly succeeded at doing too much, and somehow still made enough money that Activision looked at it and thought: yes, this deserves not one video game, but two, spread across seven different consoles, so that literally nobody in 2007 could escape it. Ambitious! Chaotic! Extremely on brand for the source material!

See, there’s the fancy version, built by Treyarch for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, where you get a whole open Manhattan to swing around in and the black suit shows up only when the story deems you emotionally ready for it, very mature, very earned. And then there’s the completely different budget cousin, built by Vicarious Visions for PS2, Wii, PSP, GBA, and DS, where you can slap the black suit on whenever you feel like being a jerk, the Wii Remote gets to pretend it’s a web-shooter, and the DS throws the D-pad in the trash entirely so you can beat up Sandman by poking a touchscreen like it owes you money. Same cover art. Same villains. Practically strangers.

Swinging in to help me sort out how many wildly different versions of one questionable movie a single franchise can generate is Harry Steele, co-host of Games on Film, the podcast where he and his brother Rory spend their days grading movies based on video games! Which means Harry has built an entire professional skillset around asking “did Hollywood mess this up,” and today, for one glorious episode, we get to point that same energy directly back at a video game and ask if it managed to mess up the movie right back. Poetic justice! Content symmetry! Whatever you want to call it, it’s happening!

So grab whichever suit you’re feeling today, pick a console, any console, apparently they all made their own decisions, and let’s find out if the Spider-Man 3 games handled three villains and seven platforms with any more finesse than the movie handled three villains and one dance number.

Learn such things as:

• How similar do games have to be in order to have the same title?
• Do movie tie in games really need to care about what happened in the movie?
• Isn’t Spidey supposed to have friends?
• And so much more!

You can find Harry on BlueSky @onlymanwhocan and of course his podcast Games on Film.

A new NUSGet release is out!

This release doesn't have any functional changes from v1.5.2, but the Windows binaries are now signed thanks to a free signing certificate from the SignPath Foundation (https://signpath.org)! This should hopefully mean no more issues where Windows users have to fight off Defender to run the app.

SingStar Take That anyone? The strange joy of charity shop video games
By Keith Stuart

Hidden gems can be unearthed, but you have to dig deep into the bargain bins of countless outdated Fifas, Wii Fits without the controllers and partially finished quizshow games

Preview for Kirby's Epic Yarn on Wii from Official Nintendo Magazine 63 - Christmas 2010 (UK)

I wish we would get a beautiful port of this one to Switch like with Donkey Kong Country Returns...
This one is so underrated. 😭

So what I wanted to post earlier was that the updated version of Official Nintendo Magazine 63 - Christmas 2010 (UK) is now online and includes the Super Mario Sticker Album supplement which I found yesterday.

Sadly, not all stickers are present, but it's a nice relic anyway.

I also replaced the cover with a brand new one. This supplement came with an issue in perfect condition, so the big crease on the left side of the cover is now completely gone.

You can download this new issue 63 here:

Enjoy! 😙

Review for Ghost Squad on Wii.
Taken from NGamer 18 - January 2008 (UK)

While the game gets a fine score, I somehow still feel that it's way too low as this one ranks as one of my absolute favourite lightgun games.
So think of it as a 93 instead of 83. 😆

No sé si esto acabará en un agujero negro, pero yo lo intento: si alguien quiere jugar Mario Kart Wii (Retro Rewind) conmigo, que me añada y me mande un mensaje. Me encantaría conocer gente hispanohablante que esté metida en este mundillo, somos muchos pero creo que estamos distribuidos por ahí, sin saber que existimos...

Y si tú no quieres, boostea para que me encuentre alguien que quiera ​:meowmeltcry:​ #mariokart #wii

RE: https://mstdn.games/@64bithero/116961493818038290

On a minor tear right now picking up used games on kijiji/marketplace before the casual market catches on...

Not the timing I'd planned for adding to my backlog -- just bought a ton of indie games -- but I'll be more than set for new-to-me stuff when priced out of the next console generation & my rotting potato PC fully gives up the ghost ^_^ #gaming #wii #PS3 #PS4 #PS5 #switch

I'd be getting #gamecube games, too, except everyone always wants waaaaaaay too much, lol.
