Sometime earlier this year I found it stashed in a box with my painting supplies. I traded labor services for it: I helped paint someone’s living room, hallway, and bedroom, and in exchange I got some loaded Papa Johns pizzas, a bunch of beer, and a grocery bag with a Wii, Wii-mote, Nunchuk, and one shitty game. In mid-2016 I acquired my first-ever Wii system. These hardware variations have some major functional differences as well. So apparently Nintendo developed a few different Wii consoles, and not just with cosmetic differences like I assumed.
But if you ever want to chat old-school, I’m all game! All of this to say… I had no f*cking clue there was a difference in Wii hardware until like……………………………………………………. I generally gauge a conversation to determine whether I should or should not talk about certain things because I don’t want to come off as a one-upper. The above bullet-list is mostly for laughs and to showcase my retrogaming prowess. Truth be told, I’m actually not that confrontational. Go down a bit and you’ll get the hardware comparisons you came here for. * WRITERS NOTE: Feel free to skip through the ramblings and anecdotal, yet brilliant, hilarity and musings. Yes, my knowledge does spread partially around the globe.
I mean, I’m not the biggest nerd ever, not even close, but I feel that I can hold my weight among the retro-enthusiasts when it comes to “name dropping” some of the ’90s gaming gear. So the Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360 (all of which I own) are a little mysterious to me. I’ve already memorized the myriad code names and numerical identifiers for various consoles from numerous generations of gaming! But there’s one caveat… It all stops with the 6th console generation: i.e. As a retro-gaming aficionado (self-proclaimed but I’ll defend it ’til the day I die), I am easily overwhelmed when trying to pile more game systems / consoles into my memory bank.
