Happy 2nd Birthday, Wii
It’s time to put on your sexy Marilyn Monroe costume and prep those vocal cords, because on this day in 2006, the eagerly-anticipated Nintendo Wii first hit store shelves. (Incidentally, it hadn’t been seen there again until earlier this month.)
The Wii has been responsible for bringing gaming more into the mainstream than ever before, and will certainly go down in history as one of the most important video game consoles ever made. Much like its great, great grandfather, the NES.
So happy birthday to you, Wii. It’s been an amazing first two years. There’s little doubt that you’ve changed gaming forever, and I’m looking foward to seeing what’s next.
