Despite ushering in motion controls, Miis, balance boards and more, the Wii's greatest living legacy might be its music, which has become a force of its own in the years since the console itself disappeared. The Wii Shop music, Mii Channel Theme and more have taken on a life of their own as memes, remixes, covers - they might even be affecting the wider music world as a whole. We spoke to musicians and comedians about what makes it so enduring (and so funny).

I honestly never liked those songs, very grating. To each their own though, I know lots of people love them.

Thank goodness the Wii era is over, that era for me was horrible in terms of Nintendo quality.

I desperately wish we could go back. Switch-Nintendo is complete trash.

not liking them I can understand but I find the claim of grating a bit odd since they use like the least harsh, and dullest of sounds

They all got on my nerves eventually but yeah I found the shop music in particular grating, it starts out with a very annoying effect and just continues.



I also just have a disdain for midi type sounds when there is no technical reasons to use them, older hardware music is excluded and I love a lot of that.

seem pretty soft to me, but maybe it's down to a difference in hearing
