Here's Why The Wii U Never Had A Chance (ft. BeatEmUps, Scott The Woz, Wulff Den, MVG)

The Wii U was the worst selling main home console for Nintendo in its history and despite having critically acclaimed games in its library, it failed to repeat even a fraction of the Wii's success. Today we are taking a look at what made the Wii U struggle, what made it great, and what's inside the odd console.

Dude, you didn't need a video this long for this. Just say it was basically just a Wii upgrade with a special type of controller. Plus, the time between it's release and the switch wasn't very long. I'm sure there were other issues. But, that's all that needs to be said. Lol

Technically yes, as it still uses the same processor family as the gamecube. Also it still can run GameCube game’s natively.

[@raaymonf]

Kinda is. The Wii Menu mode on Wii U is a TRIPLE-clocked GameCube, while Wii was a double-clocked GameCube. But yeah, most of the Wii U is a Wii.

[@RetroTechSelect]

Why they even had an 8GB model, I will never know. I had to pick up a hard drive for my 32GB model almost immediately.

[@chrisd8180]

The black was a the 64 gb. Mine is the 32gb and in 8 years it still has room left. Wii U games are compressed or something, because a 32gb somehow is not full after so many years. Now 32gb on a ps4 would fit half a game, But somehow Nintendo accomplished it.

[@Pejelo]

Because you can put more storage without wasting so much for a bigger storage ver. I mean, in mexico, the 8 and 32 was a 1000mxn difference. With that difference money you could buy a 1TB hardrive for a cheapest price console.

I once witnessed a child in an electronic store, he wanted a Wii U system. But his parents took the Wii, saying "Look, this is cheaper. We'll buy this one, and the tablet later". That was years after the Wii U release, people didn't even know that Nintendo released a new generation hardware ...

[@Eltrotraw]

I recall people at the E3 launch were confused on what the WiiU was during its initial reveal. It didn't help that all they showed off was the tablet at the time. If even the nerds at E3 couldn't tell what the WiiU was at first, that's a big death sentence for the system's marketability right there.

[@UebelBAM]

@FinalNinja They chose right by accident, but i sure hope they didn't buy a Wii U controller later on, wondering why it didn't work.

[@stevenasante8662]

Was it though? Nintendo would have put HD graphics on their next console regardless. There was no way a modern home console could sell without at least 720p resolution at the bare minimum. Nintendo is known for doing weird and innovative things, so I believe a system like the Switch would have come out eventually even without the Wii U to serve as a failed predecessor.

[@TimeLagGaming]

Cuppa, yes a Switch like system could have still been released even if the Wii U never existed. But it probably would have failed just like the Wii U. Nintendo learned a lot from the failure of the Wii U. That’s why we’ve seen a completely new Nintendo ever since the release of the Switch.

WiiU with a pro controller is still a great system to have!! Wii games + all the Nintendo exclusives are enough games to keep you busy for years!

[@jaguar4120]

I'm still need to catch up with backlog of games I haven't finished. Plus switch game as well.

[@ricdafric7565]

EXACTLY!!! I agree 100%. I think everyone keeps bashing the console without even knowing or playing it. The console is amazing. I own every single first party Wii U game in my library. I will not get rid of this system and I will still use it. Woz is a fool. One of the best consoles ever made that sold horribly. And reiterating what one of these guys said, it had some of the best games on that console.

[@jaguar4120]

@@ricdafric7565 Totally agree. The WiiU had the best game like Bayonetta 1 and Bayonetta 2 and Super Mario 3D land.

[@BZLentertainment]

Plus better virtual console on eshop and free online

[@pokiblue5870]

I actually loved my wii u ! While my parents were using the Tv i rly enjoyed playing on the sreen some Zelda breath of the wild or Mario maker or Pikmin 3 , yoshi wooly , smash bros , tbh theres enough games to keep u busy !

Next two years will be ALL Switch, Unless BioWare or Crystal Dynamics hit it huge with Anthem or Avengers. When PS5 and Scarlet hit their stride though, Switch will look the 3DS looks like now.

The downfall was the marketing and the name. I remember getting into an argument over the Wiiu just being an add on for the wii. People thought it was just a controller for the Wii.

[@Wing0Alchemist]

I love the Wii U's menu system and how you were able to navigate. Way better than the Switch's eShop and the Switch's menu bar. I liked being able to customize where each little box was. Plus, the home screen was way more colorful. Colors are good.

[@walter2965]

And people thought Smash Ultimate was a good crossover

[@djb6496]

As a Wii & Wii U owner, the Wii U should have been named something else with a console hardware design that did not make it look exactly like the Wii at a glance. So many people thought the Gamepad was an add-on to the Wii. Look up reviews on amazon; so many mothers and grandmothers bought a Wii U game for a Wii and complained it wouldn't work, not knowing it shouldn't! Nintendo failed at differentiating and marketing! The game library itself was excellent, but did lack 3rd party...

[@davidmcgill1000]

It wasn't marketed at all and Nintendo ignored it for YEARS. No wonder it failed. Ubisoft was the only developer doing anything in the early years and they bailed out after a year or two after seeing it being ignored. It definitely fits being a successor of the Gamecube instead of the Wii.

[@v31003]

A few years ago I bought Mario Kart 8 on Craigslist from a kid who's mom thought it would play on his Wii.

[@mspeter97]

The biggest failure in marketing here was the E3 2011 trailer. They only mention "the new controller" I think that's what created the confusion in the first place

[@acadianalien]

@dj b Not just mothers and grandmothers, I thought the exact same thing and I was a teen. I felt like it came out all of sudden with no marketing. My friend showed it to me and I was like ''oh yeah, I forgot about Nintendo's system''. It took me a few hours to get how the system worked

[@geminisfl]

@acadianalien It happened to me too! I'm not a noob at videogames, yet the first time I saw the WiiU reveal trailer, I was not sure exactly what I was watching.
