''Bongos, maracas, microphones, guitars, drums, cameras, lightguns, wheels and the Wiimote itself are just a few of the accessories we've got cluttering up the space around our games consoles. There are so many in fact, that they're soon going to be in danger of outnumbering the games they're used to control. Nintendo have played no small role in the quest to have you playing with anything but a conventional control pad, with Wii Fit being their latest effort. But can you really be expected to fork out just to play with a pair of balancing scales?
Well okay, the Wii balance board is a little more complicated than that. In fact the first thing that will strike you when you fish it out of the considerably sized box in which it resides is just how pleasingly solid a piece of kit it actually is. Fairly wide and fairly heavy, the board sits on the floor where you'd normally be lounging and is thankfully wireless. The only external clue to how it works is in the four pressure pads spread across its corners underneath, which detect not only how much weight is pushing down on the board but how that weight is distributed.''
This hardcore gamer grandma has put nearly 4,000 days into Wii Fit!
The NPD Group has revealed the top 10 best-selling exclusives in the U.S. since 1995, and Nintendo holds all 10 spots.
And the #1 game on this list is also the #1 game (and accessory) to be found at the local goodwill.
Take a look at the 50 best selling games of all time https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
Nintendo has always had the most mass appeal, my Mother would play Mario.
There's landslides and then there's this. Wouldn't be surprised if the top 50 was mostly Nintendo games.
VGChartz's William D'Angelo: "Today we take a look at the top 10 best-selling games for yet another platform. Up to this point we have looked at the original PlayStation, the Nintendo 64, the PlayStation 2, the original Xbox, the GameCube, the Nintendo DS, and the PSP. This week it's the turn of Nintendo's most popular home console, the Wii.
The Wii is the fifth best-selling video game platform in history and the third best-selling home console in gaming history. It is also the best-selling home console not released by Sony. It sold 101.18 million units lifetime."
Just like the DS list, every game on the Wii's list has sold over 10 million. Not even PS1 and PS2 did that. That's very incredible
