That's about it. I mostly just wanna be able to run roms on it so I don't need to buy GameCube games that I wanna replay

Homebrew is cool, don't get me wrong, but you can always emulate and get better resolution and mods

    I have a wii sitting around and thought it would be neat. That and its hooked upmto my CRT and ive still got my 25 year old gsmecuve controllers, a wii has a built in GameCube, so it's also a fidelity thing, ive got the hardware for the real experience but the games cost a lot now

    I got it aroind launch and then gave it to my parents when I got sick of it snd they gave it back when they stopped with it and I do still play wii jeopardy and some other multi-player slop when having pals over for drinks from time to time. The wii is badically a dart board to me, and that is fine and dandy but may as well get more out of it for fun

    Nice! I actually just bought one off a friend who was moving and needed to get rid of some stuff. I haven't decided what I want to do with it yet, but I'm sure I'll get homebrew on it soon.

    Wii sports still slaps hard. Any mid or bad game with in person multi-player is a great multi player game and the wii is full of em. When the jank is a shared experience it becomes a fun social thing. Wii shoveleare with friends is some of the most fun you'll ever have gaming. A bad game with not online multi-player can be the best time. It sucked in a lot of ways but the wii was fantastic for silly things to do with friends and that does rock hard. I'd love more mid games that even my grandparents who were born in the 30s and are dead now wanted to try out and we had fun playing together.
