Me and my friends played Mario Chase so much in 2013, sometimes staying up all night just playing it lol. I always wish they made a followup with more maps, items, enemies to avoid, etc. One of the most fun multiplayer games Nintendo's ever made fr

[@ThaddeusSilva]

Same! Mario Chase was the main game mode we played, it's so intense and very fun! I think it'd be beautiful if they made a sequel, with online play and like you said, more maps, items, etc. There's so much they could do.

[@NintenDub]

Sadly Nintendo is facing a huge issue.the Wii u flopped...we all know. The market was just in a weird place at the time.nlt just nintendo.but now they seem to be of the philosophy that none of that stuff should still exist.switch is great.games are good. But there's not much experimenting from Nintendo. They did labo.which was cool but like.eh...?... And the problem.is that Nintendo is just very sterile now. Miis have taken a seat in the trunk completely.they could still be a huge thing.theres no social aspects to Nintendo now. No cool music.no cool menus..everything, the look the feel the music the text, the colors the menus...it's all very plain now compared to the DS 3ds Wii Wii u GameCube eras.it really sucks cuz Nintendo is Gunna hit another wall eventually. I just wish they were still being quirky but sadly with the death of iwatta and a lot of the other older higher ups taking more secondary back roles, those cool days are dead.i wish iwatta was still running things cuz the switch would've been successful and I'm positive he would've championed a lot of cool extras that don't exist now. It always comes down to games,but iwatta was such a visionary with very different philosophies on family and gaming and media and what it could be.and I think with the flip of labor and Mario kart circuit, were really only Gunna get ring fit adventure type ideas going forward for a long time. Very sad. I love when Nintendo has that extra little quirky thing going on.but apparently that's not cool anymore,just sales is.and they seem to believe in just putting out a system,and games now.that extra innovation is Gunna disappear more as the years go on and in 10-15 years,ppl are Gunna say "what happened to all of that innovative stuff, even if it flopped". I'll bet that's where Nintendo is heading

[@FredDoesStuff0423]

@@NintenDub 3DS and Wii U is getting ports, but a Nintendo Land is practically impossible due to it being a showcase of the Wii U, as how the separate gamepad affects the game entirely. Major reworks would be needed for another Nintendoland, and 1-2 Switch and Labk was already the showcase for what the switch could do.

[@psychicpants8856]

So true. If it was more fleshed out it could be a standalone game

[@picklewizard6246]

Same here, except me and my family. Wes till do it today too!

[@Icetea-2000]

I remember thinking back then how beautiful that game looked. I mean this was still in the Ps3/xbox360 era. And while games like the last of us were probably more demanding, the titles launching on the WiiU were just such eye candy. I didn’t really think about it but the wii u games were by far the best looking games around that time. I really wish I had wished for a WiiU instead back then in retrospect

[@NALTOHQ]

Before the PS4 and Xbox One dropped, the Wii U genuinely was the most powerful console out there.

[@Icetea-2000]

@@NALTOHQYes, and arguably the WiiU artstyle made it look even better in first party titles

[@pufferfishkiller6386]

I genuinely started crying watching this video because of all the memories I had with it and eventually the game just disappeared and we never played it again. I might just grab my Wii U right now and see if I can play it. Thank for this video, it gave me a lot of happy memories. (My personal favorite game was the Battle Quest and Pikmin a game I begged my mom to get but she never got it so this was my only way to play pikmin I loved playing both with my sister.)

[@mikuaua]

Did you play it back again?

[@pufferfishkiller6386]

[@somekek6734]

[@joceyyy_]

Me and my brother were obsessed with this game. Our favorites were the Zelda, Mario, Pikmin, Luigi’s Mansion, and Octopus Dance. We got it bundled with our Wii U and so many good memories were made with this game. We would also often play it with the kids in our neighborhood (none of them had this game, so they were always excited to play it). To this day, my brother and I will still often reference the game (usually by mimicking the automated voice in the Octopus Dance mini game, the “one, two, three” etc. i hope that makes sense) We cleared all the levels on the Zelda mini game, and I was always the archer and my brother the swordsman. I really miss this game. This, along with Wii Sports Resort and Wii Play Motion were some of my favorite games as a kid on the Wii/Wii U.

[@danielcomas4022]

octopus dance used to piss me offfff omg 💀 love it now tho

[@leroysanchino]

Despite the Wii-U being a huge failure sales-wise, It's games like Nintendo Land that make me so grateful to have owned one growing up. I have vivid memories playing Mario Chase and the Luigi's Mansion Minigame for hours with my friends. Those are memories I wouldn't have had if it weren't for this game. This is without a doubt a classic I'll cherish for my whole life.

[@icomefromanotherdimension3798]

For octopus dance, if you tap the squid on the touch screen he will shrink which causes him to shoot less ink. Hope this makes the game less annoying. :)

Man, now that I'm in my 30's I really do miss the magical feel that the DS, 3ds and Wii U had in their UI's and their exclusives like this gem and it really does make me miss the Iwata era of Nintendo.

[@jasonzervos]

I remember playing the Pikmin mini game for countless upon countless of hours with my sister! I really love Nintendoland

[@tnkBeatbox]

One time on my birthday, me and all of my friends played Nintendo for hours and hours, top three birthday for me

[@s10ppy55]

I have so many memories of playing this with my uncle and my cousins. I remember getting so nervous playing the Luigi’s mansion game when I felt the controller rumble, getting super exited playing the Mario chase game when running from and chasing my cousins, me and my cousins working together and trolling each other in the Zelda game, getting frustrated at the Donkey Kong and Game & Watch game, me and my uncle going back in fourth with the best score in the F-Zero game, getting a lot of the candies in the animal crossing game, beating my cousins at the Metroid game, cheering each other on when we were playing, and playing the plinko game with the coins at the top of the Nintendo Land tower. I have so many memories of Nintendo Land and I’m upset that I probably won’t be able to experience that for quite a while.

[@unnamedtoaster]

Ahhh! I’m so happy to see this game being fondly remembered! As one of the only people who speedruns this game, it’s always nice anytime it gets attention. I feel like the tragedy of this game is that relatively few people will ever get to experience it. It’s honestly one of the best designed games I’ve played. But it relies so heavily on Wii U hardware that not even emulation can give the full experience. One thing that I think people may overlook, and understandably so, is that this game is pretty hardcore. Every single mini game has so much subtle technique available that allows for a really high skill ceiling. Very few players will ever get 100% completion because of how challenging many of the stamps are. When I first played this game I’m pretty sure I didn’t even get half of the stamps. I really hope we can get a sequel with a similar design philosophy. Asymmetrical gameplay may not work quite as well on the switch, but I doubt it’s impossible.

[@TheShyGuy124]

Not many people know this but if you get another wii controller in any single player attraction, you can help the gamepad player out, like creating time bubbles to slow down the player, for timing their jumps in DKCC, or freezing the enemies in TNC.

[@GretchenGoebel]

Fun fact the one player only games have hidden two player modes. For example for the octo dance the second player can use a wii mote to pop bubbles that contain extra lives, in the ninja game you can hold ninjas, and in F-zero you can erase up to 30 obstacles per area

[@maccamachine]

This really is so nostalgic just the sound at the beginning of the Wii U menu but honestly I had a good bit of fun with Nintendo land it was a cool idea and they could have done a lot more with it

[@luke6784]

Great video on a great game! One note, a lot of the fun and challenge in the balloon trip game is the combo system, where if you don't miss any balloons you get a multiplier on your score. It's a neat risk/reward mechanism to encourage engaging with everything onscreen

[@Zolerian]

I love that someone has so much nostalgia for this game like me to make a video about it. I'm not the only one. And when I heard the Pikmin Adventure jingle at 7:23 I got chills, that jingle holds a lot of nostalgia for me.

[@NamlessOctarian]

This video brings back an unbelievable amount of memories for me and I love it! The Wii U will always be my favorite console and Nintendo Land is in my top 3 games of all time! My favorite aspect of Nintendo Land is the 100% completion reward, the credits. It's not the reward itself I like but how it's displayed and the journey to earn it! I hope to see a sequel to it sometime soon!

[@nivekacodog4209]

I cant believe Nintendo Land was released in 2012. The graphics is still eye-popping to me

[@SuperDom64_]

This is one of my favorite video games of all time. I have ♾️ nostalgia for Nintendoland. Unfortunately, my Wii-U broke a couple of years ago. But I’m trying to save up for a new Wii-U, I can’t not have one since it was my first gaming console. I love the Wii-U and I think it’s a criminally underrated console.

[@Goatman_Gamer]

I always felt like this game recieved a lot of hate, so I'm glad someone loves it as much as I do. The music and multiplayer concepts of this game are amazing. I remember blazing through the Pikmin mode and having a blast with the Luigi's Mansion mode. Love your channel man, especially the Nostalgia Rewinds.

[@GameBlock_]

I spent so much time in my childhood playing against my dad in Mario chase. We almost never played any other mode together, but we still had an absolute blast

[@Icetea-2000]

It has to be added that Zelda Battle Quest is literally swordsplay from Wii Sports resort but taken even further. I love that they realized how fun that mode is

[@KWIZZ30]

You ever see something so nostalgic to your childhood that you completely forgot about so it makes you shed a tear? This is it for me… I remember the lobby at nighttime just being so peaceful and quiet it really is making me cry rn. Life was so simple as a child.

[@jrreplays77]

Say what u want about but Nintendo wasn’t afraid to experiment during the wii/wii u era

They never are

[@LinkMorganM]

i only first played this game last week after emulating it on my steam deck, and the asymmetrical multiplayer games are incredible! it's so sad that there isn't (and will likely never be) another local multiplayer game that capitalises on the tense fun of luigi's ghost mansion or mario chase.. i can only hope that the three or so people who've attempted modding the game decide to pick it back up!

This game was perfect for whenever my cousins visited. My once shared bedroom used to get so loud with yelling and trash talking.

[@hyperboreanverdantsilo7959]

The Wii U was the first console I ever had, so Nintendo Land was also the first console game I ever played. I honestly can't appreciate this game enough for introducing a 7-year-old me to some of my favourite franchises (Zelda, Pikmin, Metroid, I even had a fascination with Murasame Castle for some reason), and just generally forming my love of variety in video games as a whole. I still play it regularly whenever I play with friends, and it remains as one of my favourite games of all time.

2:58 I actually think this is me as a child xD. Although i can't quite remember how my first Mii looked. Seems about right though, as I didn't really change anything about my first Mii.

[@ThaBEN_NL]

The nostalgia really kicked in watching this channel and made me bring back the Wii U from the attic. This weekend I'm going to introduce my four year old son to the system. He is just starting to game and we recently beat Kirby and the Forgotten Land and played some Nintendo Switch Sports together. Most other games are still a bit too tricky for him. But I believe we're going to have an awesome time playing Nintendo Land, Super Mario 3D world and explore WuHu Island together in Wii Sports Resort :) *Subscribed*

[@neonturnips9274]

i remember me and only one other friend had a wiiu - and we both had nintendo land and loved it. Its genuinely one of the best games nintendo has made and perfectly captured the capabilities the wiiu had to offer. i always find it sad that many people didnt play some of the best games nintendo has made in the past decade.

[@sockatoo_]

me and my family would play every single nintendo land game so often that it became THE family activity for a long time. out cats chewed up the cord for the console, so we couldn't use the wii u anymore. six whole years later, we've finally gotten a new cord, finally booted up the console, and we're doing everything we can to recover this ONE SINGLE GAME. hearing the nintendoland theme for the first time in six years had me crying, man. i'm watching this to refresh my memory, to prepare myself to relive my childhood. i dunno. i'm super hyped. that's all.

[@tationotaliaferro8418]

I wish a sequel would come to the switch. The use of Joy-Cons, the touch screen and connecting to other Switches would add gameplay variety just like on the Wii U.

I never owned a Wii U, but my friends did and man was that a party house. We spent so many hours playing this game, SM3DW, Mario Party 10, and Mario Kart 8 (possibly more I'm forgetting). I think the one we played the most was the Luigi's Mansion game. We spent so long on that game, but it never got old, it was always a ton of fun. I didn't even know like half of the stuff in the Plaza you mentioned since I haven't played the game (though this REALLY makes me want to again. Sadly, those friends that did own a Wii U moved away, so I don't get to play with them anymore (or just buy it from them outright).

[@arandomguy7935]

Nintendo Land was SUCH a big part of my childhood. I loved playing it by myself or with friends. I can't count the times we were staying up all night playing this game (and especially the Metroid minigame) together. This game is so great, I actually wish there would be a sequel. This video was really great and nostalgic. I had to send it to my friends I used to play this game with immediately :).

[@theghostwiththemost789]

I remember when I first got the Wii U it came with Nintendo land. I loved Mario chase and Luigis ghost mansion but they weren’t my favorite. My favorite was balloon trip breeze. I had no idea what the game was based off of so I would always pretend that the story of the game was that I was a mailman and I had to deliver balloons to peoples birthday parties and sometimes a stack of hay some reason😅. My Wii U broke a little while ago and I had to get a new one. The new one I got didn’t come with Nintendo land so now I can’t play it anymore🥲

[@chrislordnine]

Back in 2015, me and my brother got a Wii, not knowing that the Wii U already was out. So, when we got to our cousins on summer vacation, we discovered the Wii U. We had lots of fun playing Nintendo Land and Mario Kart 8. So, fast forward 2 years later, history repeated itself. We got a Wii U, the Switch was out. Only this time, our cousins didn't get a Switch from the get-go. And now? I'm glad I have a Wii U. I was able to live its last 6 years. I only need to get Nintendo Land and Wind Waker HD and I'm good. In fear that history repeats itself once more, I'll be waiting for the next Nintendo console (if I'm buying it at all).

My family re-bought a Wii U just so we could play this game again, and we have no regrets. It’s just peak party/family game night fun.

I love this game, and I look forward to playing it with more people as years pass

[@LeoTheLemon658]

The Metroid gate song literally makes me so sad. It reminds me of when I was younger, constantly begging my sisters to play Nintendo land with me. Whenever we all played together, it was always so much fun. My sister would always get the game pad because she’s the oldest, and we always had a set person or set people we always played a certain game with.

[@cherriette5665]

Fun fact: the solo modes aren’t actually “solo”, you can help with the wii remotes in most games by pointing the wii remote at the tv. Like in Donkey Kong Crash Course you can slow down the player, or in Yoshi every wii remote can eat 1 fruit by selecting a fruit

[@cjthesorceress7937]

The amount of excitement I felt when I discovered that, in the luigis mansion game, the ghost could press and hold both triggers to charge up a ghost power that drains the players lights completely if it hit, that was one of my proudest moments

I adore this game. My favorite part of gaming is just having fun with friends in the same room. It’s an irreplicable experience. And this game was perfect for that growing up. If it was a weekend and my brother and I both had friends over, we’d just play this for hours. It was simple enough to be super easy to pick up, while complex enough to never get bored. I still think Luigi’s Ghost Mansion is the best multiplayer experience on the Wii U, and this game is the best game on the Wii U. I remember when I first got the console in 2014. I was a little upset that I got this instead of Mariokart. Now, I’m so glad I played this. Besides, it introduced me to Metroid and F-Zero, 2 of my favorite series
