The successor to the GameCube, the Wii, was released by Nintendo on November 19, 2006.It would propel other console manufacturers to include motion controls in their existing products, making it one of the most popular video game consoles ever. Even though motion control didn’t work as well as you would think, the Nintendo Wii had a good library of games, and your grandparents probably still have one in their huge entertainment center from the early 90’s with that CRT they’ve got lying around.
