Nintendo never made the Wii game I always wanted, but it's now a reality thanks to the fan game of my dreams

A Mii wandering around Wuhu Island's town in Wuhu Island Explorer.

The Wii game that I always wanted was never made by Nintendo, but thankfully, all these years later, a fan created it, and it looks like everything I dreamed it would be.

It's been almost 17 years now since the release of Wii Fit, and our first introduction to the paradise that is Wuhu Island. It wasn't until Wii Sports Resort that it got its name and became the idyllic location that we all know and love, and at that point, as a younger player, I was genuinely captivated. I spent literal hours exploring the whole place in the Island Flyover game – going around the buildings, flying across the river, and obviously going straight down into the volcano, too. Hell, I even used to write my own stories about the Miis living there and their lives on the island. But in all that time, all I really wanted was to be able to freely wander around the island on foot and take in all the sights, living vicariously through my Mii.
