Wii Sports gets the respect it deserves by joining the video game hall of fame

This year’s World Video Game Hall of Fame additions include none other than Wii Sports, as it deserves (and yeah, The Last of Us too, I guess).

There are constant questions over what the best game ever made is. Some suggest Chrono Trigger, others posit The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, or maybe even Final Fantasy 7. But everyone who says that is wrong, as it’s actually Wii Sports. And thankfully, the Strong National Museum of Play has added the classic title to its World Video Game Hall of Fame, alongside a number of other games, as the organisation announced last week.

Wii Sports isn’t the only important title to be added to the lineup this year though, as it comes alongside three other games that are also worthy of such a status. For one, there’s Barbie Fashion Designer, a PC game released in1996 that targeted young girls as opposed to other games of the time that were marketed towards boys. “Published by Digital Domain/Mattel Media, it proved that a computer game targeted to girls could succeed, selling more than 500,000 copies in two months,” reads the game’s description on the Strong Museum’s website.
