Good evening Hikiko. I'm Brand Newman, the translator of the Earth Seeker, Takt of Magic and Zangeki No Reginleiv games, which you have mentioned in your video. I wanted to thank you for featuring my work, and congratulate you on that fantastic video about one of my favorite systems ever! I didn't see the time fly, and you even gave me some ideas of game to pick and (who knows?) possible future projects! 🙂 So thank you again for that top notch video, I'm looking forward to see the rest and am subscribing as I write! Yours truly.

I’m just under halfway through, but omg… the format is so nice and this is bringing me back to the rainy days I was excited by nothing more than biking to the video rental store in the early morning and spending the whole day exploring the new, strange and inventive wii titles. It was a hit or miss experience, but the library was so expansive we were never disappointed. Even bad games were insanely funny. Gosh, to be young again.

This video is legit. Might be the best Wii youtube video yet and i'm not even half way through it. Here's why i like it, you gave respect to the Wii as I believe it deserves, you are reviewing games that are good and bad (super unique) I love that concept, and third point, this is 2.5 hrs! I'm a huge fan of the Wii especially since i can play so many different systems on it. And i must say, I really appreciate Wii controls and yes not every game utilizes them perfectly but the ones that do, make up for it. Wii Sports Bowling is like one of my fav games ever lol But yes I agree with you Wii U's are superior and I have 4 of them, but they are more difficult to find and 3x's as expensive. But the ability to upscale Wii games is impressive. I like Skyward Sword, Spectrobes, Sonic Colors, Sin and Punishment, Sid Maiers Pirates, Secret Files Tunguska, Prince of Persia Rival Swords, Okami, Mad World, Ghostbusters, Geometry Wars, Fragile Dreams, Radiant Dawn, Dragon Lair Trilogy, Dead Space Extraction etc. Tons more

I've always been a huge proponent of the Wii. I got all the "hidden gems" before anyone ever said they were. Yes there is a buttload of shovelware, but for the 10-20% of the library, they're REALLY solid games. Thank you for putting praise on Little King's Story, it's probably my favorite game on the console outside of Mario Galaxy 1 & 2. The entire video is a great retrospective and highlights what is capable with homebrew.

At a thrift store, they sold me a gamecube disc case for $15 dollars. In said case was LOTR 3rd age, return of the king, medal of honor rising sun, namco museum, X-men Legends, Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion, all scratchless. When they showed me, I was trying not to have my eyeballs explode or have anyone else witness it, so I was like, "ok yeah, that seems fine."

The Wii is the smartest console to be collecting for right now. With so many common shovel ware games, it makes it much easier to find one of the many (at least 100 games) quality titles for a low price. Also we are just a few years away from Wii owning kids entering their mid-20s and that's usually when a console library starts to make it's first jump in price. Get in while the getting is good.

This is my favorite type of content that you make. It's so chill and cozy. I really appreciate how long you've been dedicated to this channel, and I hope you keep making videos for a very long time. You’re an inspiration to all your viewers With the Nintendo Wii it’s my favorite console in a social sense. I love playing the Wii with friends and family. I might be a bit biased because I was a kid when the Wii came out (Yes I am an adult now), but combined with the Gamecubes Library, there’s just a ton of multiplayer games that’s hard for other consoles to rival in terms of quality and quantity in my opinion. The Wii has also always done a great job in preserving the legacy of the Gamecube, as it was many peoples first introduction to the Gamecube during its prime, and today it’s probably the cheapest and most convenient way to play Gamecube games on a hardware level in my opinion. Modded Wii U is definitely god tier as well

It's wild how a home videogames console that sold 100 million units worldwide is seen as "overlooked." But there are so many great software titles on Nintendo Wii that few gamers ever saw or played. But that's the great thing about retro gaming: there are thousands of classic games to play on so many consoles and home computers. More fun! Winning!

hated Cursed Mountain on Wii, but after finding the delisted PC port, I completely fell in love with the game. Not only is it so much easier to play because of the lack of motion controls, but it's also a lot prettier and you notice how much the crushed compression of the wii hides the beautiful and very detailed environments. I plan on releasing it into the public domain later this year so it will soon be available for everyone, legally.

Regardless, this took a ton of work and you should be proud! The Wii is STILL the best all-in-one modding machine when it comes to functionality, ease of use, price and widely available hardware and i'm really happy you're talking about it.

So far I've collected around 180 Wii games on disc and I also bought 200 downloads before the shop closed, all quality, not a single shovelware title in there. My favourites are Excite Truck, Bully: Scholarship Edition, The Godfather: Blackhand Edition, Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Manhunt 2, The Last Story, Final Fantasy: My Life as a King, Hydroventure, MotoHeroz, World of Goo, La-Mulana, the five Art Style games. And many more. After Let's Tap I really hoped you'd mention its WiiWare cousin Let's Catch, the most calming ball throwing game ever. In an idyllic park setting you throw and catch back and forth with different visitors that talk to you, and eventually you build up trust and friendship with them. I'm fond of having a 100% Excitebike: World Championship save file as well. When I heard they were going to shut down Wii's online, I went back to get the last unlockables. My Wii recommendation today is Overlord: Dark Legend, for everyone who has already beaten Pikmin 1 and 2 and Little King's Story.

Great video, but missed some the personal favourites that changed my mind about this console in the day; Klonoa, Metroid Prime Trilogy & Donkey Kong Country Return, along with some interesting titles like Rodea & Okami

can't believe you missed underground titles like Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and Wii Sports Resort... but seriously I added a bunch of new games to my Wii wishlist to keep an eye out for, and also going to setup the Wii U again to play some old favorites

Good thing I inherited a Wii U before it went offline! I love it so much to the point I constantly use the GamePad as a Remote Control. My intention was to always start The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower on it after beating… - Lost Odyssey on 360 (Xbox One & Series S BC ftw!) complete w/ Treasure Trove + DLC/Optional Bosses [250 hours] - Blue Dragon (Xbox One BC) w/ Maxed out Jobs + 1000 GS [292 hours] - Xenoblade Chronicles X completely (all Tyrants/Superbosses + 100% Quests/Achievements) before the servers go down [712 Hours; extra 72 hours to figure out how to beat that one Chimera superboss w/o a Skell] - NieR (360)/NieR Replicant Ver. 1.22… (Series X) + Automata (Series X) with 100% “Words” [something around 450 hours] …so now’s the time! Now I just have to debate spending a lot to get them legally or homebrew to play the ISOs (I think they’re ISOs?). What I’ve learned from grieving after my brother’s passing via playing RPGs and the like is that it’s less about having the time to play them but rather your ability to commit to them while making it a real goal comparable to something you’d be proud of IRL! It’s somewhat transformative and an excellent way to rekindle your appreciation of the medium imo. The Wii my folks bought is the featureless $100 model (red & black), so the only thing earned there were the Wii-Mote + Straps + Wii Motion+. I had no clue you could literally make the Motion Controls work on the GamePad, so you come in clutch as always Miles! Edit: We need more videos this long from you…and that Killer7 Suda (A-Side?) video too!

Before watching this, I was under the assumption that the Wii had a couple of super succesful gimmicky games, some Mario here and there and that's about it. Boy was I wrong, super interesting library, thinking really hard about getting this, as it can be bough for cheaper than a PS2. Super informative vid.

Lostmagic had a sequel?! I was among the few who played that when it launched guess I got something to check out. I note you didn't mention monster taming, a core aspect of the original which makes me think that aspect got axed. Shame, the rune drawing was a bit durdly on the DS but the monsters were good for giving you a smidgeon of breathing space.

I’d maybe recommend dolphin for the motion control issues on some of these games. While calibrating motion controls on that is honestly confusing, it might give these games butchered by wii input more of a shot. Makes me wonder if dev kits had a more responsive form of the wii hardware.
