I remember reading some time ago that Minesweeper and Solitaire were deliberately chosen as the preinstalled games on early Windows computers because they would teach users important skills for interacting with a mouse - Minesweeper for left/right clicking and Solitaire for dragging and dropping.
Wii Sports played that exact role for the Wii and the Wiimote. It enabled players to get used to the new hardware quickly, and more importantly - made the process fun. It's obviously not as polished as more recent games, but it's actually still good fun to play today and that's all I can realistically expect from it.

Man. I love fish, I love animals, I love taking pictures of both of these, and I loved Endless Ocean on the Wii. This game is not like the originals. I started this game with a higher opinion of this than I think a lot of people, it was fun, kind of clunky mechanically, but the core was strong enough to be a good time. The more I played though, the more baffling decisions I encountered. There’s so many axed modes and features from the Wii game that this feels like if you ported the idea to an iPhone game more than a third entry of the Endless Ocean series, which sucks. I got my money’s worth out of it, and overall it’s fine, the features cut are things I could overlook if the game was as good as the originals and it’s just not. Not to mention, I have encountered so many glitches that halt progression, and even gotten softlocked out of the ending from what I can tell because one of the items I need to complete the 99 tasks you have to do to pad the game out to hell and back just didn’t spawn in the already rare randomly generated formation, all of this just makes me wonder how this game was okayed in the state it’s in, missing any of the typical “shine” from a Nintendo published title, with things that scream a lack of QA testing.
Overall the lack of an aquarium mode the change to randomly generated maps from set maps, making exploration a lot more tedious to get what you want, and just lack of good QOL features… makes the game all in all very disappointing.

so fascinated at what on earth nakayama herself must've thought when her management was approached by square with the idea to make a video game about getting her to fall in love with you. this was probably the only moment in history where something like this could've come together on the scale it did
