The Wii ( / w iː / wee also known as the Nintendo Wii) is the video game home console made by Nintendo. Wii Sports ( pack-in, except in Japan and South Korea) 82.90 million (as of March 31, 2020 ( 2020 -03-31) ) Wii Shop Channel (closed January 31, 2019) Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (closed May 20, 2014), GameCube controller (original model only) Playing Batman, Assassin's Creed, Bayonetta or Monster Hunter on the gamepad is the only thing that keeps me sane while the kids are watching the same show over and over again on TV.
Off TV play on the gamepad is awesome as a parent. Lets face it, You probably already know the handful of games you want for the kids, but really want to rationalize buying for yourself :) If you can afford it, do it. Pokemon Rumble U is a good/easy/quick game that you can play with your kids, Nintendoland has some fun stuff as well. Unfortunately there aren't that many 3+ player coop games right now. IMO Disney Infinity and Skylanders would be really great if they allowed for more than 2 players (so I can play with the kids and help them through). The Wii U gets a lot of play, but often it's Wii Games in compatibility mode where a kid will use the gamepad as it's own screen and someone else uses the TV in the family room.
We have multiple 3ds systems, ps3 and a Wii U. The Wii U is a great system for a family because of the potential for couch co-op, kid friendly games, and off-tv play ability. Upcoming Games DATES SUBJECT TO CHANGE Gameįor more upcoming games, click here! External Links
