Comment on Anon remembers the GameCube
tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoMaybe, but the GameCube was really riding a particular techno aesthetic, both externally and in the menu design. It was really the very tail-end of the “just because we can!” breed of design.
The Wii went all nice and soft white, rounded buttons, happy and family-friendly, which was absolutely the correct move for Nintendo commercially to make it mass-market, but it lost something at the same time.
