Is the Nintendo Wii U Still Awesome in 2024? | Console Deep Dive |

[@Caleb72301]

1:37 You’re wrong about ac black flag but ok lol

[@stephensearles673]

Ive recently got a wii u off ebay with cfw and aroma so my wii u got all the games from the original nes right through to the wii u, with the master system and mega drive , game gear over 1000 games

[@franci2a777]

Haven’t watched the whole video, but I could just answer: It’s the one that can natively run GCN, Wii and Wii U games, with a whole ton of virtual console games too

[@orangeslash1667]

For any wanting to play StarFox zero listen carefully, don't play the main story first. Go to training mode and spend about 8 hours learning the controls, because the motion controls are kinda complicated. There's a minus button that swap screens and you have the ability to turn the motion controls on or off in the pause menu. It's easier to shoot everyone in first person mode, where as all ranged mode is easier for avoiding enemies.

The WiiU is amazing . You can play Gamecube , Wii and all the VC games all on a single machine.

[@GeekBattleGaming]

You can play GameCube games on Wii U? I’m guessing that’s a jail broken one right? Or is there a workaround to get them playable in Wii Mode?

[@Nava9380]

@GeekBattleGaming "Nintendont is a Wii mode homebrew to play Gamecube games on WiiU vWii. Nintendont is not a modification or emulator. It's more like a bridge between an emulator and a virtual machine which runs Gamecube games natively." And yes, you have to softmod your WiiU. I would recommend it, you can do much more with a modded WiiU.

The Wii U was my favourite console over the PS4 and Xbox One. Easily

[@GeekBattleGaming]

The Xbox One just kinda blurred into the Series X.

[@ClassicBee17]

Same here!

[@ultimate_pleb]

Interesting choice

[@dwightdixon8508]

I have 4 Wii U consoles loaded with VC games I purchased from the Wii Shop before it closed. One of my favorite consoles of all time

[@imatruegooner]

I have Never played the Wii U , always heard mixed reviews on it

[@Orangienblue]

I will never get the "Wii U is retro now" or even "the Wii is retro" I think 20 years is the cut off for a system being retro, but even then I think Retro is more of a time period then a passage of time. Like "antique" "vintage". the NES, SNES, and N64 felt "Retro" because of the massive jump in graphics. the 7th and 8th generation of games still match and hold up to modern games. Just look at the switch with many of it's games are Wii U games, Mario Kart 8 isn't retro

[@notsure1920]

They're just saying that so they can keep charging high prices for them.

[@premier1975]

The greatest game on the Wii U is Xenoblade Chronicles X.

[@GeekBattleGaming]

It’s one I haven’t finished, but I plan to get back into. For me it’s between Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart

[@dmoney2612]

I have 2 still in the box! Well one now I still play mines in 2024

[@davidpicard5376]

Yes it is. I'm lucky to have it with the vast amount of remarkable games.

[@carlgreene538]

Yes even though mine isn't modded it is still great!

[@evilkittyofdoom195]

Got one at a pawn shop the other day cheap , put a couple thousand games on it to play at work ...

[@GreatBumi]

What price?

[@evilkittyofdoom195]

@@GreatBumi $99.00 canadian.

[@GreatBumi]

@@evilkittyofdoom195 Nice you got a good deal

[@greenxclips1733]

Was worth it until they ported 3d world, although if you want to play Kirby rainbow curse go ahead that game is fun

[@sujimatsubackupaccount194]

Most 1st party nintendo wiiu games are not on the switch. The wiiu can play all wii games. But will spit out gamecube discs even after being modded. The wiiu is essentially 4-5 gamecubes or 2 wiis power wise. Held back by nintendo.

[@ClassicBee17]

Such a great console imo

[@netweed09]

Modded its great but sadly stock marketing never let it acheive its full potential. And it lacked power. How can you let a Handheld like the Switch have even more power than you? A measly 0.5Tflops output and the Wii u could not even manage that. Sad ,, but I feel the Public got this call Correct the Switch overall was by miles the better console.

[@GeekBattleGaming]

Yeah this was a lot of ill advised choices by Nintendo that didn’t help their chances. Good games but also the third parties all abandoned them
