What started as a couple of curious hackers has become a huge community of developers and users looking to bring some amazing new features to the aging console.
So if you’re looking to breathe some new life into your Wii, consider getting into the homebrew scene. If it weren’t for Homebrew, then apart from the occasional first party franchise throwback such as Zelda, Super Smash Bros., or New Super Mario, there wouldn’t be much of a reason for me to pick up a nunchuk. After the excitement of the Wii’s “revolutionary” controller died down, a lot of us adult gamers began to realize Nintendo’s missteps on the console: The lack of mass storage, HD support, and DVD playback, and a scarce online community were all reasons my interest in the console began to dwindle.
