On this day in 2006, Nintendo released the first Wii ever to gamers all over the world. The motion sensing tech may not impress many today, but anyone who had a Wii as a kid will remember how excitingly novel (and awkward) it felt to play Wii Sports with the family for the first time. Sadly, last year the Wii era came to an end after Ubisoft released the final game for the console.
We've collected some nerdy Wii memes from over the years to commemorate the day and hope our fellow gamers enjoy them as much as wii did.

Alongside news that Nintendo is working on mobile games now, President Saruto Iwata announced today that the company is working on its next generation console, codenamed "NX." From the press release:
Nintendo has decided to deploy its video game business on smart devices but it is not because we have lost passion or vision for the business of dedicated video game systems. On the contrary, now that we have decided how we will make use of smart devices, we have come to hold an even stronger passion and vision for the dedicated video game system business than ever before. Nintendo has made this decision because we have concluded that the approach of making use of smart devices is a rational way for us to encourage even more people around the world to recognize the great value of the wonderful game software available on our dedicated game systems.
As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business, let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand-new concept under the development codename “NX.” It is too early to elaborate on the details of this project, but we hope to share more information with you next year.
It's a big day on the Nintendo hype train, friends.
