The Rise and Fall of Wii Games

Описание: The Wii was a revolution. It made gaming physical, social, and accessible to everyone — whether you were 8 or 80. With Wii Sports, Just Dance, and Super Mario Galaxy, motion controls felt like the future of gaming. So… what happened?

In this Frame Theory deep dive, I explore how the Wii rose to become one of the best-selling consoles of all time, how it changed my life as a kid playing Yellow Toad in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and why Mario Party 8 will always be peak. I also talk about my love for the Wii U, hacking my Wii to unlock Mario Party 6 & 7, and where motion controls went next.

⚠️ Apologies for the audio quality — I’m sick and sound atrocious but didn’t want to miss the upload. Thanks for your patience 💛
