    Amusingly enough, the feature Iwata originally intended as a light parental control backfired in my house. Because I'm a stickler for notification lights, I would always check the playtime just to get rid of it. You can imagine 4th grade me's confusion when I started finding this weird game I didn't even own on there. Well, it turns out my dad had bought Metroid Prime 3 for himself, and had been playing it after I went to bed. He didn't want to show me because he thought I might be too young based on the rating, but he was forced to let me watch after I figured it out. The feature that was meant to bust the child busted the parent instead!

      @@NatetheNintendofan Maybe my comment is worth rereading because I don't believe I said scary anywhere. Regardless of that, my dad was the one who judged what games I got to play and his first thing was to (responsibly) check the ESRB rating. As I was only 9 at the time, decidedly NOT a teen, his first choice was not to let me watch/play. He did the same thing a year or two later with Half-Life.
      Regardless of ratings, do you know how annoying it is to try to do anything with an elementary school kid backseating you?

    I love the Mii characters. I mean, they got alot of charme and some people got really creative with their faces and turn them into art. And don't forget that thanks to the Mii's, you can play as (a cartoony) yourself! I wish Nintendo would give Mii's a bit more attention (I mean, they're still in the Switch but the Mii Maker is hidden in the system menu).
    One of my Mii's is Jessica. I really love her. I made her on my Wii back in 2008 or 2009 IIRC. I have her in all my other Nintendo consoloes. I have her as my sidekick in SSB4/SSBU, as my wife in Tomodachi Life, as a roomie in Miitomo, as a "profile" in Wii Fit U to have her appear in the games when I play it, and even more.
    I remember when the Wii was called the Nintendo Revolution. I also remember the Wii Shop music scaring the crap out of me because the music starts at full volume after a total silence while connecting.

    My mom received a Wii for Christmas a year or two after launch, and I was definitely the one who used it the most. My favorite game used to be Wii Sports Resort, but I lost the copy that came with the console years ago. Last Christmas, however, my mom bought me a new copy. I learned that if you sit on the title screen long enough, the system keeps a record of activity within the game which is displayed with copies of how the Miis looked when it happened, even if they were edited later. I think that's a very sweet touch, as I got to reminisce about my time in the 2000s and 2010s spent playing the Wii with my sister and cousins.
