I had a 360 back then but most of my friends had a Wii so I managed to play some games like Brawl, Mario Kart, etc. It was when Madworld came out that I begged my friend to lend me his Wii one weekend so I could play it. What a fantastic game, the soundtrack is still in my head.
I eventually got one for cheap in 2010 and hacked the ever living shit out of it, fantastic console. It had a plethora of awesome games and hidden gems. Sad some people skipped it because it was marketed as a "casual" experience.
Proudly bought Xenoblade Chornicles from Gamestop; and was the only fucking weirdo in college that recognized Shulk when he was announced for Smash.
