History

Nintendo launched the Wii on 19 November 2006, selling over 101 million units worldwide and popularizing motion-controlled, casual play. Its success prompted rivals Microsoft and Sony to develop Kinect and PlayStation Move, expanding the market for low-cost, motion-focused titles. That legacy underpins today’s Switch 2 indie showcase, where developers echo the Wii’s original approach.
