Since the reveal of the Switch 2 during the latest Nintendo Direct back on April 2, the internet has been ablaze with news of new mouse functions for Joy-Cons and the long-awaited inclusion of GameCube games for Nintendo Switch Online members. However, while all of the above is exciting, what really made my hand twitch towards my wallet and eagerly look at Switch 2 pre-order updates was how much Nintendo's new system felt like the Wii during my hands-on time playing around with the console recently.
Now, in case you are unfamiliar with Nintendo's iconic 2006 console, the Wii is Ninty's third best-selling system of all time, having sold 101.63 million units back in the day. With its revolutionary motion controls and selection of amazing titles, it created an interactive experience like no other at the time of its launch. Despite its success, though, we've seen only a handful of ports over the years that just fall short of capturing the fluidity of movement and that tactile feeling of pointing at the screen with the Wii remote while gripping your nunchuck in the other hand.
