jd_1138 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (that's what she said) But seriously.... I took the various covers off so I could put them on the Wii that I sold at the flea market in my friend's stall. So it's naked and exposed now. My wife's sister's kids were playing with the Wii the other day when they were over, and they were bashing the hell out of the Wiimotes, dropping them, and the baby was using one as a club, but they both still work fine. I think Nintendo engineered them to be kid proof. Great little console. It's used everyday for Netflix duty and Wii fit and Wii Sports/Resort. This may be my favorite console of all time in terms of sheer enjoyment and fun factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I imagine Nintendo sells replacement covers at their online store. Mine are removed and sitting in the console box. Didn't see a reason to keep them on when I always have a Wavebird reciever and a memory card plugged in anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyKaiju Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Mine have long since disappeared. When I started standing the Wii up on it's side I just covered the exposed ports with electrical tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (that's what she said) But seriously.... LOL! Pretty much what I thought when I saw the title of this thread. Only Nintendo could go from the worst console design ever to the worst console name ever. Great little console. Agreed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The Wii is a great little console that has given me a LOT of hours of fun!! And I've had a blast playing games like Little Kings Story, Dawn of Discovery, Mario Kart (especially the tournaments that Nintendo Emails me about), Red Steel, Conduit, Donkey Kong, Fire Emblem, Metroid, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Rune Factory, Order Up, Harvest Moon, Zak & Wiki, Raving Rabbid's, and many, many others. There are things that I wish that Nintendo had done differently with the Wii, but I haven't regretted my Wii purchase one bit.

aikainnet Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 As little as I play my Wii nowadays, I have still gotten many hours of use out of the little bugger. I love the little thing to death, but I know I cant drop it down the stairs like I did my gamecube a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd_1138 Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 Gamecubes are bulletproof. I used to work with some people with developmental disabilities, and I bought a few GC's for them, and they hold up over the years. Even if they are left on 24/7. The GameCube actually has better specs than a PS2. I guess that PS2's were more popular because they had a killer app on them (GTA: San Andreas).
