How the Wii and Wii U Redefined Nintendo (Part 2)

[@MultiPlatGamerGuy]

Your channel is a sign that the recommended section can work sometimes. Fantastic videos so far!

[@condescendingonlineman2136]

MultiPlatGamerGuy do you ever click the "not interested" button?

[@king_big_pp]

This channel's gonna blow up into something huge. I hope you're ready for that, because the explosion is inevitable. And I think it'll happen sooner than you think.

[@MegaBajojo]

Damn. Almost made me cry XD Nintendo was a huge part of my childhood with the gamecube. For some people Disney made their childhood, But Nintendo has been so magical an such an influential part of my life. They made me who I am today. Great video!

[@MorenoLopezAlberto]

This channel deserves more attention. Great video.

[@MeatNinja]

I'm subbed to channels with 100x the amount of subscribers who make significantly worse content.

[@FreelanceNintendo]

Thanks friend, I appreciate it :)

[@castillo4141]

This, truly. GREAT video.

[@qnr3377]

+Alberto Yeah! I had a hard time believing this video had this few views given how good it was in my opinion.

[@Dogman_35]

How the hell do you still only have 1K subs? Your content is amazing.

[@FreelanceNintendo]

Thanks! The channel is definitely growing! Only had around 20 subs a little over a month ago. Hopefully, we can keep it going.

[@farissaadat4437]

Freelance Nintendo, that's insane. Congrats on the rapid growth, the channel deserves every bit of it.

[@djhgdsfadsiuydsauy]

This and part one were some of the best videos i've seen on youtube in a while. Just... wow.

[@Alias_Anybody]

Excellent video. And RIP Iwata.

[@FreelanceNintendo]

That was probably the worst part about working on this video series. Learning so much about the Impact Iwata had on the company and knowing that he is no longer with us.

[@12me91]

So having two console going at a time was bad last gen. But nintendo still has 3ds stuff in the works with the switch out. They never learn...

[@FransuToffi]

Alias Anybody sorry if this is a bad question, but do you know what's wrong with Iwata's eye? Not trying to be offensive or anything, just curious.

[@Alias_Anybody]

He is dead. What should be with his eye?

[@FransuToffi]

Alias Anybody just wondering, the left one seems closed everytime I see some footage of him :o

[@nooodisaster]

Your content keeps being insanely well made! Even though I knew most of this history, the video was so seamless and engaging, I never stopped being engaged. Keep it up! 😋

[@FreelanceNintendo]

Thanks, means a lot! I'm always concerned that the length is too long and I might lose people along the way. It's good to hear this feedback.

[@FransuToffi]

There are different tastes for different people how long is too long, and actually I don't normally watch over 20 min long videos to the end (Except speedruns) but your content is so mind-blowingly positive and well-made that I just can't click on the next video! :)

[@FreelanceNintendo]

Way too many kind words... haha, thanks :)

[@ChrisKerf]

Well researched and well spoken, great vid!

[@Nintendude.]

This video deserves more likes.

[@Pheicou]

This is the best analysis of the Wii U in all of KZbin.

[@franciscor390]

Still watching your wonderfully made videos years after. Rest in peace Mr Iwata you saved Nintendo, you actually did it.

[@elektrikid8463]

I enjoy your writting a lot

[@FreelanceNintendo]

Thanks :)

[@elektrikid8463]

can't wait for what's next :^)

[@Eidings-Mc]

Wow, what an amazing documentary ^^ You managed to summarize the last years of nintendo perfectly fine, all these little quotes, sidenotes and diagrams made it even more professional. I really appreciate all the effort that went into this, it must have taken hours upon hours to research all that stuff. As a lifelong nintendo-fan I've followed their evolution for years, but seems like I didn't catch everything xD. So your documentary was still really interesting to me ^^ The usage of music was also utterly calm and fitting. So really great work there!

[@FreelanceNintendo]

I'm really happy you liked it! I'm constantly worried that there might not be people interested in this type of content (facts, figures, investor presentation data) but so far the response has been nothing but positive :)

[@giodude9819]

This was much more in depth than anything i've seen prior. Love the analysis, looking forward to more in the future.

[@weefreeman22]

How do you not have more subs?? This is some top notch content!

[@Pelthail]

What an astoundingly wonderful review (both parts). Thank you for making this, I enjoyed every minute of it.

[@rainbowyoshi1239]

Fantastic vid. I have no doubt your channel will boom soon.

[@limforrand3671]

Speechless, seems my recent purchase on my wii u and new 3ds are totally worth it on their own background. Thank you. sub.

[@94KSpeed]

Very impressive retrospective on the Wii and Wii U. I can't wait to see what content you've got in store.

[@FransuToffi]

31:10 Of course, I have no other choice but to do it, this channel deserves it

[@Jigsaw765]

Wow, very very good video dude, I look forward to your next work

[@DOOMile]

I can tell you put your heart and soul into this thank you for this masterpiece

[@julianburrell5058]

Really great work! You do a good job of injecting personality to the narrative without it coming to the detriment of the story your telling. Can't wait to keep watching!

[@bunsmasterbunny]

You make amazing videos. Like seriously, these are fantastic. Very well thought out and you do your research on things.

[@VacTech1]

Fantastic vid. This is the best thing on the topic available.

[@cls3196]

Spectacular video series, subscribed, and can't wait to see more content from you!

[@VacTech1]

Fantastic, insightful series. Well done.

[@TheBlueWizzrobe]

Great overview of the overall impact of Nintendo's last few console generations. Though, I wasn't expecting to be hit so hard with the Iwata feels; the man's legacy truly is legendary. Nevertheless, you've earned yourself a subscriber. I look forward to your future content.

[@reviveempires]

Great video! With the switch at over 15 million in sales withing the first year Nintendo appears to have learned and things are looking good.

[@austindenko3575]

you do excellent work. I've made it a habit to thumbs up all your vids. keep it up as you just need to reach a larger audience ...the content and especially the quality of these videos are already superb.

[@FreelanceNintendo]

Thank you!

[@norad1353]

Very well researched. I can see you put a lot of efforts in making these videos. Your tone of voice is also easy to listen to. Liked and subscribed! I'm sure your channel will grow bigger if you keep making videos of the same quality :)

[@StiffAftermath]

Fantastic series! Highly enjoyed this! Thank you! Subbed!

[@ComposerKuandohan]

Just found your channel through the recommended videos feed. Your content is as high quality as the likes of Super Bunny Hop and Joseph Anderson. I am glad to have found your channels and have subscribed. I look forward to new content from you!

[@williamkacsur7237]

Looking forward to future content!

[@zelicious24]

Great video! I found it entertaining and informative.

[@sonton2042]

[@FreelanceNintendo]

Thanks! I appreciate it :)

[@gorgardmw222]

Dude your channel is so good👍🏻. Keep up this brilliant content 🤘

[@waffleboyzehc7510]

Im looking forward to your next video!

[@tvtoni9040]

This made me realized how much the Wii U and 3ds means to me it honestly brings a tear because I love these console and there was a time where I hated the 3ds but grew to love it but Wii U I thought of getting rid of it and get money but now how can I do that

[@drewthejackal5987]

Great video!

[@Sam.AviMusic]

There was true work put in this video and the channel you deserve a like and WAY MORE SUBS

[@FreelanceNintendo]

Thank you!

[@jamesshuler6302]

Amazing, entertaining, and informative video.

[@MeatNinja]

"Everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked..."Yeahh Boiiiiiiiii that's my meme :')

[@FreelanceNintendo]

I looooovvveee Avatar. Couldn't resist.

[@MineNAdventurer]

Freelance Nintendo You should of said "Everything Changed when the NX Nation Attack..."

[@dr_nessbomb9243]

Beautiful.

[@FransuToffi]

Bootiful video you're great

[@cynical8330]

That price slash was the reason I bought a 3DS with all of my saved allowance and gift money during the spring 2012.

[@daddyhughes111]

Amazing video :D

[@starsroof_1633]

great video

[@DerekLinden]

Honestly think you deserve more recognition, you are very to the point and informative. This comment is going to get swept under the rug, but keep going man, you will get realized at some point.

[@FreelanceNintendo]

Not swept under the rug! Thanks for the kind words :)

[@careyunknown3449]

i love this channel and this series..you guys rock.........and...first

[@Reyn_the_Insane]

I remember on October 19th going on Facebook and seeing a post made by Nintendo labeled "5 seconds ago". I read the headline and fainted.

[@WIImotionmasher]

This video convinced me to buy a Switch (some day in the next year when I have money). Because originally I was severely doubbting Nintendo's ability to make fun games. But.... I dunno.... I am leveled out now.

[@RaikenXion]

I actually bought a wiiU real late in 2016, i sat back and watch all those young people camped outside stores in 2013, then rushing to buy a brand new wiiU. Of all the videos i saw demonstrating the wiiU, it honestly didnt sell me. Nothing attracted me to it. I just sat back and waited to see what games would come out on the console, all the third-party titles like Batman Arkham City: Armored edition id already played on my PS3. I was interested in what games ninty had to offer. Only a handful of games have interested me for the wiiU, Hyrule Warriors, SSB, MH3U, Zelda Botw and Xenoblade C. I got mariokart 8 and injustice (mostly cause i never got rnd to getting that game on the ps3 and it was dirt cheap on wiiU). I still play my wiiU now, but i have to say the console itself has nothing unique that makes it stand out. Now im doing the same thing with the Switch, it has potential and Ninty have finally cracked the tablet gaming issue, but again im waiting for the games to pick up. The kid-friendly titles like splattoon and arms dont interest me, its the more sophisticated games and i have the new zelda on my wiiU, Skyrim special edition i already got on ps3 and im not gonna get it just for mario odyssey. So im basically waiting patiently to see if Capcom will bring out Monster Hunter XX on switich, and Metroid 4 really, and hopefully by then to see what other interesting games come out.

[@pooksthepossum]

Please, this is bugging me. What music is that at 1:07??? Sounds so familiar, that little tune. Please help!!!! ♥️

[@MissedAWide2]

Subbed

[@Howitchewstofeel5gum]

So sad that Iwata never got to see the massive success of the Switch :(

[@FransuToffi]

When does a new video come? :) and could it be something about Metroid? Maybe some Metroid Prime 4 speculation? ;)

[@FreelanceNintendo]

Fransu & Toffi Monday :)

[@WhoElseButZane]

I'm still waiting for them to show us the NX

[@normis6620]

I love your channel, please keep up the good work!

[@kurikuraconkuritas]

I'm pretty sure the WiiU didn't sold at a loss when if launched. can you share that specific source?

[@FreelanceNintendo]

www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-10-25-nintendo-admits-wii-u-to-be-sold-at-loss

[@davidfitzpatrick4254]

love the pokemon music

[@waffleboyzehc7510]

Im a fan of yours now

[@Pan_Z]

It's unfortunate that just releasing a console with a great game library isn't conducive to success. Nintendo learned that the hard way.

[@rileypigneguy4490]

it was a struggle to get a switch because my parents saw that I wasted a lot of money with the wii u.

[@Howitchewstofeel5gum]

Wait, what? There's a 3DS Snake Eater port??

[@epm1012]

2:39 that’s $80

[@FreelanceNintendo]

Yeah I know, I didn't notice that until after I had posted the video :/. Thanks for pointing it out though.

[@epm1012]

Freelance Nintendo Jeez! Thanks for replying! I’m a proud subscriber.

[@thesalamanderking3475]

There is only one dislike on this video. I'll let that speak for the quality of the video.

[@13Carrey1]

The Wii U wasn't a bad System the only Problem was I think that the Publisher couldn't deveolped well

[@Swordsmage]

I had to pause it at the animation of Iwata. It was too much...

[@AjinkyaBobadepictpune]

I really want switch to win

[@WalterWaltX100Crobato]

Who is so silly to think that U was an add-on?

[@Beargrim]

LOL Star Fox Zero

[@TheRedCap]

The Wii U was a good system. It's too bad it sold awfully.

[@tidalphantom0277]

I heard that punch out, you sly dog!

[@Jdudec367]

to everyone saying somehow "the wii is a failure"it wasn't...they still focus on there main gamign audience..they just also try to appeal to more people...which obviously worked out...to say it killed them is very ignorant and kinda stupid to say...if anything it brought them BACK...think...name ONE other time they beat Sony in terms of consoles...

[@DerekLinden]

Ever want to chat about Nintendo, hmu! :)

[@FreelanceNintendo]

Nearly 4 months after release, how do you think the Switch is doing?

[@DerekLinden]

The switch is a pretty huge success I would say! It has moved an impressive amount of units which competes really well respectively to how the PS4 did during its first few months of release. I just got my switch last week and Zelda is fantastic! I'm really looking forward to the promises made at E3!

[@shadeblackwolf1508]

yeah... casuals already had a ds and a wii... so why would casuals upgrade?

[@HUELEN10]

I've been waiting for this new video. You did a great job, but I still say you need to get the names of company and product right. For example, you said "Nintendo of Japan" at the 13:28 mark, but there is no Nintendo of Japan: It's Nintendo, NCL, or Nintendo Company Limited. Seriously though, just keep that in mind in the future, and this channel has the potential to go far, you obviously have thought and effort and drive put into it, you just gotta polish it a bit. :)

[@thiccb.326]

HUELEN10 get the hell out of here with your politically correct garbage you fucking weeb. nobody cares about your views now stop trying to be a know it all and enjoy the fucking video

[@SagaciousSilence]

The Wii ultimately killed Nintendo. The Wii sold well, but it brainwashed Nintendo executives to try to capture the casual market for the WiiU and 3DS. Both consoles were flops as casual consumers simply bought iPhones and iPads. The 3D feature was Nintendo drinking the koolaid as 3D was trendy at the time in movie theaters. Now 3D is a gimmick and Nintendo paid the price for trying to capture that trend.

[@FreelanceNintendo]

Here's hoping that they are on the right track after all of that!

[@epm1012]

Your Lord and Savior The 3DS a flop? It's the best selling system of the generation!

[@somethingsomething9008]

Actually nintendo tried to appeal to hard core gamers

[@Jdudec367]

excuse me?explain how there BEST SELLING CONSOLE killed them?and the 3ds really wasn't a fail...they only had like 3 failure consoles...being the virtual boy gamecube and wii u

[@garlandstrife]

Nintendo's last great console was the GameCube, after that, they lost their soul.

[@garlandstrife]

The Wii sold millions but was a huge flop in retrospective as a decent console. Its library has aged terrible and the motion controls make most games a pain to revisit. Even games like Zelda suffered because of this gimmick. Money and sales doesn't equate quality. The "failure" of the GameCube had a much more robust game library full of classics. Nintendo has been dead since 2006 in their quest to appeal casuals.

[@posivibez2094]

Great video !
