Gaming peaked with the Wii, LOL
That's a weird way to spell "Super Nintendo".
That's a weird way to spell "Nintendo Entertainment System".
That's a weird way to spell "486 DX66 with a Super VGA card and a Sound Blaster 16".
That's a weird way to spell "Sticks & Stones"
Stick and hoop beats stick and stones any day.
I had a chipped Wii during uni and so we (flatmates + me) downloaded and burned a vast ocean of Wii games.
I don't really see it as the peak of gaming. There's a few good games, like SMG 1 & 2, but I'd be hard pressed to name more than ten exclusives worth revisiting. So much shovelware and low quality ports.
i'm totally biased because i grew up in that era, but it's my favorite console and i'm currently combing through my backlog of wii games i've bought over the years or never beat as a kid. sooo many hidden gems! it's so cheap to find good games for, it's a great beginner console
