Discontinue the Switch 2 and bring back the Wii


Discontinue the Switch 2 and bring back the Wii
The issue
The Wii should have never been discontinued. After the Wii U didn't work out for Nintendo, the logical step should have been to go back to the Wii. In recent years, we've seen the launch of the Switch 2, a console that's taking gaming in the wrong direction. Not only does it lack the physical ownership that many of us cherish, but it also discourages physical activity by immersing players in high-definition graphics that keep them seated for hours on end.
Did you know that when you purchase a game for the Switch 2 or the Console Itself, you're not actually owning it? Instead, you merely own a license to access it, even if you have the physical cartridge. This system feels more like borrowing from a library without having to return the item, which is not what buying is meant to be about. This approach is not only striking at the heart of physical media but is also making it more expensive than digital versions — a counterintuitive move for all fans of physical collections. Plus, The Costs. $600? $80? Just for a game, just one thing that you can play on Another, Happiness Should be free
The Wii, on the other hand, was revolutionary in its simplicity and focus on promoting physical activity.
I Was Glad When the Wii Shop Channel and Nintendo Wifi Connenction, Gaming Doesn't Belong Online Anyway. But the Wii Is still my Favorite console, The Virtual Console and Wiiware Games Should be sold physically.
For The Sake Of Preservation, The Virtual Console List should be Extended to Include Every Single game from even more Consoles.. Including
- NES
- SNES
- N64
- GAMECUBE
- Game Boy
- Game Boy Colour
- Game Boy Advance
- Atari 2600
- Atari Jaguar
- Sega Master System
- Sega Genesis
- Sega Saturn
- Sega Dreamcast
- Sega Game Gear
Yes, Every Single Game Ever should be Ported to the Wii
Imagine Mario Kart World Scaled down but Made More Competently Or Donkey Kong Bananza With a Wii Balance Board Feature, Wishful Thinking? no, it shouldn't be, it should be reality
Nintendo, we must demand the reintroduction of the Wii. Its unique blend of activity, ownership, and simplicity is missed by many of us who grew up with it. Returning the Wii to production could rejuvenate the market for family-oriented, physically engaging games while keeping the spirit of owning what you purchase.
Please join me in urging Nintendo to discontinue the Switch 2 and start manufacturing Wiis once again. Sign this petition to make our voices heard and bring back the console that made gaming a family activity.
