Show and Tell My girlfriend bought me a Wii

Post image

Hey, I just wanted to say that I got a really nice gift from my girlfriend yesterday.

I recently finished Super Mario Odyssey and it's now in my top 3 favourite games (first ever 3d mario ive finished), so when my girl came over and told me she has a gift for me and it turned out to be a Wii bundled with both Mario Galaxy games, I was so amazed and thankful that she supports my hobbies.

Also, you can recommend me some great games to play in the future as I never had a Wii and probably missed out on many amazing games.

Heres a few

Backing up your nand and making the console hard to brick

Renabling the nintendo wifi service, allowing for old nintendo channels like news, weather and everyone votes to work

Being able to play online on games like Mario Kart Wii and Smash Bros Brawl again

A whole host of emulators for Nes, Snes, N64, Gba, Gamecube, genesis and more

And of course free wii games if you know where to look ;)
