Wii turns 20 on 19th November 2026.
It was totally awesome. But the advertised promise of motion controls didn’t really land until Wii motion+ controllers. When I played skyward sword I thought “ok THIS looks like the ads”
For about a year, we played Rockband (especially the Beatles version) for an hour every day. We had the Rockband 3 keyboard, and one of the kids decided that he'd like to learn the piano. Twenty years later and a B.Mus. and M.Mus. later, we just attended the premiere of his musical (not, not a big one, but still...) in Toronto.
His career literally wouldn't have happened without the Wii.
