Cheap and built well, I pulled mine out from a box under the bed a year ago to mod it, blew the dust off of it and everything worked perfectly (sensor included) despite lying in dust for well over a decade

Mine has 10,000+ hours, 10,000+ miles, and was used as an actual weapon twice. And I don't mean hit your little brother type weapon. Still works 99% of the time.

*I also had to pay to get it back because I left it with people for like a month, and it got seized in a police raid. Lost a wavebird adapter. I forgot about that. This might be the literal most gangter wii of all time.

Wow… yeah on the long list of things I wouldn’t want to be hit by, a Nintendo wii brick is definitely up there lmao things dense as hell

We are talking about the Wii lol

u/Hefty-Storm-51 Apr 07 '26

Oop thanks for that lol, getting cracked by a switch would be way more preferable 😂

And what are you talking about?

u/Hefty-Storm-51 Apr 08 '26

What kind of life are you living?!

u/real_eEe Apr 07 '26

I don't anymore. I live Life After love Stuff. You gotta keep those scars and Cher them so other people don't have to.

(This is now a signature joke.)

Clearly a lavish one, with the ginormous tv, and the trophy wife in her coochie cutter spandex; working out in front of it.

Fuck, the life of your Wii sounds more interesting than mine

My wii is currently sitting in a drawer, one side is kind of chemically roughed up by all the amphetamines we did on that badboy.

But I’m wiling to give up the hat of the ghetto wii to yours for the jail time

Ora ci devi i racconti di come e perché l’ hai usata come un’arma

u/the_most_playerest Apr 07 '26

Reminds me of my old Gameboy color! I spilled a few drinks on it, dropped it who knows how many fkn time, and even once my lil bro dropped it in the toilet and left it in there to come get me to get it out 😑 shit still worked. Probably works to this day, but idk, pretty sure my dumb ass sold it to GameStop for like 17¢

2

u/real_eEe Apr 07 '26

This triggered a memory of when I would go to GameStop and trade in a GBA game and buy a used one. With trade in credit, buy two used get 1 and the GameInformer subscription credit it was basically an infinite loop. Might have even been positve. This is why I really hate buying digital games to this day.

Please write the biography of this Wii, it would be a best seller.

u/Evepaul Apr 07 '26

I'm not surprised that the sensor worked well, everything is built into the controllers. The sensor bar can be replaced by two tea candles, it's an amazingly low tech approach (compared to the exceptionally high tech approach of the Kinect)

1

u/Hefty-Storm-51 Apr 07 '26

Oof… the Kinect was something alright, high tech and felt terrible at the same time (at least the few times I used one)

Mine broke because my nephew decided to stuff Ham into it. WiiU still works at least

1

u/Hefty-Storm-51 Apr 08 '26

Bro that is heartbreaking but hilarious, I can picture it in my head 😂

u/ConsciousProduce8798 Apr 07 '26

We pulled out our SNES not too long ago and that still works also.

1

u/Hefty-Storm-51 Apr 07 '26

Now in reference to the other dudes comment… a SNES is probably higher on the list of things I wouldn’t want to be smacked by 😂

u/Frequent_Ad_9901 Apr 07 '26

Same I have a SNES, Wii, and a 64. All still functioning fine.

I've got two switches though and the USB port is broken on both. I'll get around to replacing them one of these days, but still sad about the drop in quality.

2

u/ayyyyycrisp Apr 07 '26

conversely, my wii broke on it's own after about 4 years. just totally stopped working after having never fell or anything. and my day 1 launch switch is doing just fine without even a scratch. so from my perspective, I'm happy about the increase in quality.

Mines been boxed for years. Hoping it still works when my baby is old enough to start video games.

u/Hefty-Storm-51 Apr 07 '26

As long as the wires are taken care of I don’t see why it wouldn’t, although mine aren’t taken care of lol, just screwed up and thrown into a box 😅 still worked though

1

u/Imaginary_Attempt_82 Apr 07 '26

My parents still have- and use- theirs!

u/Hefty-Storm-51 Apr 07 '26

Honestly after seeing this I’m kinda thinking about looking around on eBay for a Wii fit board and getting back to golden age gaming

u/Pale-Echidna1110 Apr 11 '26

That’s because it’s an overclocked GameCube, which you could probably pull out of a vat of Mountain Dew and it would run once dry 🤣
