If Switch Games had Wii Channels

Take a look at how Switch games would look like on the Wii Menu. This is just a concept and has nothing to do with Wii homebrew.

[@SuperFlashDriver]

Also, if anyone missed my top 18 favorites from this video, here they are yet again: 1. Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training for Nintendo Switch (I love me some Brain Age type of games. Although I was surprised back then that this franchise ended up on the Switch of all places, even though I feel it works best on a handheld like the Nintendo DS than a home console like the Switch. But that's just me.) 2. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 3. Super Kirby Clash 4. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Absolutely love the ambiance, the wind howling, and the grass being blown by the wind. Absolutely beautiful to listen to if I left that channel on for say a good 6 hours or so.) 5. Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Pretty much the same as number 4, albeit has the waves and guitar playing here and there.) 6, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (That title song plays in my head from time to time) 7, Tetris 99 (1 vs. 99 players) (A person that has played this game time and time again, and it never gets old. Used to play it through a social media website, the extension, or even the original games. It's just that I haven't played Tetris in a very long time.) 8. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity (This one gives me the same feelings I have when seeing the Ju-On The Grudge Wii disc channel intro.) 9. New Pokemon Snap (Simple, straight to the point, and the music ends just perfectly. Although I did check and music, if you don't hit the start button on the wii disc channel, will continue to loop for as long as you let it play. Brunswick Pro Bowling is a good example of music continuously playing and not fading out at all.) 10. Ring Fit Adventure (Love the wii disc channel music, but I wouldn't bother playing the game outright.) 11. Anton Retro (As always from a channel whom loves to insert his/her own channel into the video to end it outright.) 12. Pokemon Quest (Giving me those Bit.Trip.Beat vibes from the Wiiware game of the same name....Very cool, but I sure wouldn't play it once or never.) 13. Mario Strikers: Battle League (Much like number 10, I like the Wii disc channel intro music, but wouldn't bother playing the game at all.) 14. Metroid Dread (Was very close to being the one similar to Ju-On The Grudge's Wii disc intro, but unfortunately it got beaten by 15. Jump Rope Challenge (Much like New Pokemon Snap, simple and straight to the point, you get the idea.) 16. The Stretchers (Absolutely love the Wii disc channel intro. Reminds me a lot of Moving Out and Overcooked All You Can Eat series of games. Definitely love the noise it makes.) 17. Pokken Tournament DX (Definitely like the music, but the fade out feels a bit cut off I would say. Still though, definitely gets you pumped up every time you turn this one on.) 18. Kirby's Return To DreamLand Deluxe (Pretty much similar to the Nintendo Wii's opening two consoles ago.) 19. Warioware: Get It Together (Definitely love me some Warioware, although the music doesn't fade out well from when the person pressed start on the channel.) 20. Game Builder Garage (Definitely like the Wii disc channel intro music, just not the game. Although I have not tried it as of yet.) 21. Cadence of Hyrule (Similar to Animal Crossing: New Horizon's Wii disc channel intro, but sounds like a lullaby to me. Which is very nice for those whom need to sleep to it.) 22. Big Brain Academy: Brain Vs. Brain (Definitely a game I also love as much as the Brain Age series, albeit it on a console and it fits the Wii vibe very well.) Switch game Wii disc channel intros that I found to be perfect: Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Super Mario Maker 2, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Nice fade out), Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Super Mario RPG (Fades out pretty well, after a couple of listens as well), Good Job!, New Pokemon Snap, Super Mario 3D All Stars, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX, Super Kirby Clash, Jump Rope Challenge, Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu!/Let's Go Eevee!, Anton Retro.

[@SuperFlashDriver]

Backstory: I came across this video in my recommendations back on August 1st, 2023, and I figured "I might as well watch it and see how it goes." And it turns out, I loved it as much as you guys did. However, what I did notice was that there was absolutely no comment ANYWHERE on this video's comment section where someone did ALL of the timepoints of each Nintendo Switch game's Wii disc channel intro. So I was responding to a few comments here and there until a person named kristopher brought this comment up, quote: "@kristopherhayes1957 4 days ago (edited) (August 1st, 2023) "What time was the splatoon 2 preview?" And when I looked at that comment, I realized, you know, maybe I should make one myself. Instead of replying to kristopher and giving him the exact timepoint for the Splatoon 2 wii disc channel preview, I'd figured I might as well have Every Single Nintendo Switch Game Wii Disc Channel Intro get it's timepoint, followed by me choosing which ones are my top 22 PLUS the ones I felt had the perfect intros out of this entire video. So from there I've went through each and every time point, watched the video multitude of times to make sure I had everything right. Sure enough, once I got all the timepoints right, I posted the comment and waited a few days. From there the channel uploader, Anton, loved my comment very much that he hearted and pinned it so this way other people can see it. And also, pretty much the responses I have here are duplicates or remakes of my original comments (Which have now been deleted but the responses thankfully have not. Hopefully the others would have my responses so this way they can copy and paste it into here and into their responses as well to archive mine, not just theirs) that was posted back on August 1st, 2023. However, another user by the name of Pinkie mentioned to me that the timepoint for Pokemon Brillant Diamond was the Same Exact Timepoint as "Box Boy!+Box Girl" Wii disc channel intro. So unfortunately, I did try to edit the previous comment, only to get KZbin literally giving me a "Returned Error" every time I edited the comment. I guess that once the uploader pins and hearts the comment, well, there's really no way to edit the comment as I like. So sadly, all of my responses including the others on this comment thread were deleted by me and I had to re-do pretty much my top 20+ AND the wii disc channel intros that I felt were the perfect ones. So if anyone had a response here, well, sorry if I deleted your original one. But thankfully I have them archived in a separate document. Again, it was my pleasure to literally make this comment, but it wasn't the first time I've done this. I've been doing these types of comments for a good 6+ years since 2018, and have done comment timepoint reactions for a good decade since 2012. So yeah, overtime it got to the point where I felt people just need to get to a certain timepoint in the video, just so they don't have to skim through the video and hit the left arrow, J key to go back and watch it repeatedly. And yes, I know about the "Your" and "You're" thing, you don't have to ask me again because I've already explained that from one of the responses I've made to XGamer123. Considering how "Your" and "You're" are interchangeable, "You're" is used for when you are complimenting someone's thank you to you, or basically an action. "Your" on the other hand is usually used as a kind speech ending when you open the door for someone, or carry something for them when their arms/hands are full of items to carry any more than what they can, or simply just helping other people out. So I understand the "You're" would have made sense, but what "You're Welcome" would have translated to "You are welcome." Which would have sounded stranger compared to saying "Your Welcome" which to me makes more sense than the previous one I've mentioned....Anyway, as much as I would love to make paragraphs of comments, I have other videos to catch up on and watch. Considering this guy does a lot of hacks for 3DS and other consoles, this one may be the only video I like out of the bunch. Again, no disrespect to the person, but I feel for me it usually takes a good 5 to 10 videos for me to enjoy the person's content before I subscribe to them. If say I only watch 2 or 3 videos from the person, it just means that I don't like their content very much and just leave. Same thing goes for the livestreams, if after ten or five livestreams I don't like the person's content, then I don't subscribe to them. And if I like the person but they hit a million subscribers, I unsubscribe from them, but I still continue to watch their videos (Saberspark used here as an example). So yeah, your very welcome for me being able to make this comment from 4/5 days ago, and go from there.

I've been in Wii modding for many years, these animations are not impossible to do! Although is not an easy task either, these animations displayed on the Disc Channel are not baked videos but a lot of .png images animated in real time.

@@Ultipey I'm not sure why though, I guess Wii has assigned 516KB for this task and trying to load a larger file causes an overflow that the Wii can't handle.

The visuals are good but Wii channels typically used short sound clips for these, not continuous songs like most of the ones on this video

[@diamondcom8545]

That’s what I’m saying

[@MooseGBT]

They couldve changed that for the switch

[@SuperFlashDriver]

That's what I noticed too. Also, some Wii games would even have the ratings and info about it in the bottom left corner for those whom want straightforward info about the game before they even start it in the first place, just so they know what they're dealing with when playing the game.

[@Rubnotienenombre]

I think they fit perfectly fine, it isnt too long but it would probably get cut abruptly realistically

Man, it sucks that you almost missed out on this when nintendo wii was huge back in the mid to late 2000s. Heck, even having the switch console literally have subtle background music like the gamecube one from the early 2000s, or heck, the PS2 menu screen with the waves crashing in the background, would have made it feel so calming you could fall asleep to it with the console left on.

I’m so glad you didn’t show what the Switch eshop would look like with Wii shop music. Now I can leave this video only partially depressed.

[@rb1k.]

Editing Suggestion: make the zoom effect slower so it is more in sync with the channel going full screen. This video is great, it's just a minor editing flaw. Please make more videos like this, it would be great!

[@JC21]

Crazy that Mario Wonder came out on Wii before the Switch.

[@kinzihusky]

i miss the days of wii channels and those (most of the time) 3d icons on the 3ds. they were fun to just watch

[@SuperFlashDriver]

DSi icons were also the best thing before the 3DS came along and upgraded them. Heck, during the 2004 and 2006 Nintendo DS, if you didn't have a game inserted into the cartridge slot, or if you prefer to boot up towards the menu screen to select whether you wanted to play the gameboy advance game or the DS game, you would hear the clock ticking in the background. Very neat ambiance if you ask me.

[@Willgame21]

This is so nostalgic, i remember booting up brawl and skylanders with those intros. Other games too but those intro selection is a blast from the past

[@blaze1324]

Honestly if I knew nothing about videogames these would fool me and make me think they were for the Wii, they're so well made

[@Kyoki_Electric]

[@Spectremint]

While I do like these, one thing I think alot of people don't know is just how limited the banner system is, which would invalidate most of these as they stand (ESPECIALLY Everybody 1-2 Switch) That being said, I think that Part Time UFO's banner is the best one

[@Chris-db5gy]

What do you mean by limited?

[@Spectremint]

@@Chris-db5gy The Wii's banner system isn't capable of showing video files, everything is images and animations that move those images; I don't even think it's possible to make GIF-style animated images either

Alternate timeline where Nintendo just really didn’t let the Wii go

[@mrrfyW]

Most of these would make sense… Video files on the Wii menu icon/banner would be a hassle to implement, and most of the channels with lots of 3D movement wouldn’t make sense persay, since all channel banners/icons rely on 2D motionless graphics that are animated via a program.

[@kenepo4u496]

So amazing! You think you can do ones for certain third party Switch titles like Puyo Puyo Tetris and Super Bomberman R?

[@Kaaby_Bluekirby]

Those Kirby intros are AMAZING

They would be even more unique if they were made by nintendo cause the wii channel backgrounds all had unique music and assets

[@Momanic]

These animations are amazing!

[@piratekingplatinum656]

The Wii menu feels like its asking me what do you want to play? But the Switch doesn't give me that feeling anymore. It mostly has to do with the Wii, Wii U, and 3DS's charm but the switch's menus are boring i mean the Mii channel is just a profile settings option. The Switch does still have good games i just miss the old charm.

[@feartheb33k33p3r]

5:16 It is actually possible to play all three of those games on an old Wii, because Super Mario 64 was on virtual console, the GameCube backwards compatibility meant that you could play Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy was a Wii game!

[@abandonedchannel1010]

while i love the way you conceptualised these switch games into wii channels, i still think you should extend the time wii channels appear and also do smooth transitions similar to the way kkclue implemented these transitions in his video showcasing start screens of various wii games before you click start game.

[@DannyDoritio]

Any console related to Wii or the Ds has that certain Nintendo charm that I wish could come back

[@pangetpampam8272]

These are so fucking on point, especially the xenoblade ones

[@Zxanonblade]

Hope that the next Nintendo console is much stronger (and especially has a lot more RAM) so they can do something really impressive with the menus. I'm fine with the current switch menus since they prioritize leaving as many resources available for the games as possible but it would be nice to have both cool menus and games that run better.

[@kristopherhayes1957]

[@SuperFlashDriver]

If they were on the Wii, they would have the gamecube controller, wii remote by itself, Wii remote+Nunchuck, Classic Controller, Joy Cons, and many other controllers. The Nintendo Wii does have bluetooth built into the console, so it is possible to use Switch controllers on a system such as the Nintendo Wii. You would just need a Wii remote to navigate the Wii menu layout, settings, and start up the game.
