Did you know that Nintendo was about ready to throw in the towel at one point?

Back in 2004, sales of the Nintendo GameCube were so poor, that the company was thinking about possibly exiting the home console market. Then came the Wii a couple of years later, which was a huge success.

Yes! Im so glad they recovered the wii is my favorite console of all time and if it weren’t for the n64/gamecube we’d never have the og animals crossing. I can’t imagine my childhood without handhelds, mii maker or even the e-shop. I wish they’d bring more of that charm to the switch.

@AlphaEliza I agree, the Wii was a great console.
