"You're gonna love Wii Sports" *mild excitement.* "You're gonna love Trauma Center" *the crowd goes wild*

[@stevieliyaz1058]

omg hello nuclear blue!!!

[@erementsuna]

I'd give anything thing to be the first guy in NYC to get his Wii....served to him by Reggie...while being recording and photographed for this time-machine of a video. Luckii Guy, didn't find a Wii of my own until August 2007. Really miss the good old days.

[@whoodiniluweinie805]

10 years today and its still an epic console to bad it's predcessor the wii u couldn't live up to this hype hopefully the switch can live up to the wii hype.

[@EricZhaoYT]

Jorge Luis Marin jr The Future is here. Nintendo Switch. BTW this was written exactly 3 hours before the Switch event

[@MilkyHazard]

Luckily the Switch did, even though I think it's a lackluster unit myself, mostly because I have the Wii U and played most of the Switch games years ago.

[@yellow_airman]

I remember the release. It makes me excited for whatever new system comes out in 2011! The hype is so much fun!

[@kiwigreen2456]

yellow_airman the Wii U.. did you ever get to try it?

[@yellow_airman]

@@kiwigreen2456I did! And now I have a switch. Can’t wait to see what comes next

[@drunkenn1nja]

@@yellow_airmanNintendo switch 2 coming soon!

[@BVEfan]

Sadly, that Toys R Us store is no more. It's now a Gap store and when I was in New York City on holiday last month and took a look in the Gap store (formerly Toys R us), the escalators are still laid out for the customers to come in and come out and it's just 2 floors and that's it. It won't be the same again. When the building was used for Toys R us back then, it was an absolute joy filled with memories especially this with the Wii Launch in November 2006, it was great that was! But it's just a memory now.

[@kpo38XD]

what

[@mrcave9203]

I miss the Wii times.

[@zebare726]

I miss the 6th gen and the step toward 7th gen :/

[@wiinis-official]

I miss when games were socially driven and fun, rather than being money focused. Though I suppose that’s just a matter of perspective.

[@kamikazilucas]

what if somone spends all that time in line then realizes they forgot their wallet

[@monsteroga]

This video is a time machine.

[@Brumskin.]

I still have my 10 year old wii

[@ricarleite]

I got a pre-sale at a local store. I would call them every DAY asking about it. The next afternoon after the launch I went there to get it. I ordered an extra Wiimote, they didn't have it. It took about a month until they got it.

[@GamingPalooza]

I waited 6 hours to reserve, and waited another 6 hours to get my console, first day in Connecticut. Had a pocket knife for protection because its bad over there. Few people got shot and mugged at the PS3 launch in Connecticut.
