I got given a Wii as a birthday gift and I played it for about a year or two until the kids were old enough to take over. I got given the WiiU as a gift later but took it back on the first day because it didn't do any of what it promised. From the sounds of it, the Nintendo Switch is finally delivering on that promise but I'm not going there my gaming platform is the PC. The best thing about the Wii were the natural controls which were particularly fun for Star Wars - The Force Unleashed.
Games that I never got around to playing but still have in a drawer somewhere waiting for the day I retire (yeah right).
