I've had my wii ever since I was really young. I'm just fifteen, so it was my childhood console. I'm surprised it still works, lol. It sits in my grandparent's house currently. It runs really loudly, so I am currently using a different wii. I'm going to try to trade my original wii for a gamecube, because I really like the look of gamecubes, and I have two wiis.
I still have mine (and all the tacky stick-on jewels I put on it), but I don't keep it plugged in. My Wii U stays plugged in, so I'll play Wii games on it, and if I want to play a GameCube game I'll just plug the GameCube in.
I've had my Wii since Christmas 2008. It's been through a lot but it still works. I can't even tell you how many times people have accidentally kicked it over the years lol. In fact, me and my boyfriend play GameCube games on it quite frequently. It's the only working console I have other than my PS3 that I really don't use.
We still have our original Wii, but it can't read Wii games. We probably got it the year when the Wii was released.
It's been collecting dust for years.
Paper Mario is on our other Wii (the one that works!) and I've been playing on it again! The 3 Paper Mario and Mario Kart Wii are the only games I'm planning on playing.
