I remember sitting at one of my friend's houses, way back in the day, playing on his Wii while his older brother told us about this thing called "The Nintendo Revolution". And how it could play virtually any Nintendo console games on it. But I also remember thinking "well doesn't the Wii already do that...? Why would we need a new system for that?" And then I discovered how little we all actually knew, being that the Wii's prototype name was the Revolution. Silly me.

[@Artavius]

This is so sick! Seein' this now is so hype to think about..but seein' this at the time must have been RIDICULOUS.

[@tjeerdtrekkie1030]

It was an incredible experience that you guys would have just had to be there for. I remember being on the official Nintendo forums all the time. It was funny how wrong people were about the console in general. Now to look up the Nintendo mockup where it was a helmet, the one where it says you can play games and make games. The one where Reggie wanted to hire the person who made it.

[@M64bros]

Such a good time This was back then, Nintendo still cares about his legacy, They pay the tribute to him in the Super Mario Bros movie credit scene, I've read some comments of this video weaponizing and blaming his death against Nintendo and I think it's absolutely ungrateful and sad and it needs to stop. There were also problems during the 3DS and the Wii U era as well when him and Reggie were still around, The problem about the Nintendo hate situation is when people blame Nintendo as a whole, They drag in the developers and the employees, considering the fact they have absolutely nothing to do with the DMCA legal team in Japan that makes those decisions. Both Nintendo and Iwata cared about their developers and the employees and me and many other respectful Nintendo fans are doing the same thing, We don't care if those developers or employees don't care about us, but we care about them because they have famous people that have been to conventions before that deserve a lot of care and respect. Still to this day me and the other casual respectful Nintendo fans will do whatever it takes to defend the developers and the employees from the lousy complainers that still unfortunately harass or attack anyone from joining Nintendo games or Nintendo products. #NintendoForever

[@Medachod]

Every time I watch this video, I am sad that the console wasn't kept as Nintendo Revolution. The logo was creative and, at that point in time, it was able to play every Nintendo console besides the DS. Especially true once homebrew came out a year after launch.

[@table255]

Only if the console was called Nintendo Revolution. That sounds way better then a Wii

[@Phantron]

And Wii U should have been called Ultra Nintendo or something.

[@table255]

***** Ultra Nintendo.... That is bad. I would rather have a console named a Wii U than an Ultra Nintendo

[@Phantron]

table255 Well, it's just an idea, acclaiming the "Super" Nintendo and the codename for Nintendo 64, "Ultra" 64.

[@table255]

Yeah, I knew what you meant by Ultra Nintendo. I thought of Super Nintendo too when you mentioned it.

[@LivvieLucaria]

But can you think saying "Ohhh guys look I got the Nintendo Revolution !!!!" Rather than the Wii?

[@Knuckles_la_Enchilada]

"it technically is capable of playing virtually every Nintendo console game", did you heard that, Nintendo Switch?

[@PianistTanooki]

I mean… even the Wii U lost this capability. GameCube backwards compatibility was lost, and there was no GameCube Virtual Console.

[@Techn9cian123]

15 years later, I bought my first Wii. It’s fully modded with thousands of games. Including Mario party 1-9. Double dash. Paper Mario 64 and TTYD. Path of Radiance. Too many to mention. I love it.

[@reyzavcy7827]

Cool i have wii too👍

[@inceptional]

It's now 2016, and Nintendo still hasn't fully realised the true potential of the Virtual Console. By now, we really should be able to play basically every single past Nintendo game on the Wii U, including all its mobile games too. It's crazy that it's ten years later and this idea still seems like it's still not been properly figured out and fully realised by Nintendo.

[@FunkyFreshFellow]

Let's be honest, it would be really tough and time consuming to release EVERY game ever. Of course, there are plenty of games that need releases on the Wii U. Chrono Trigger... some other games I don't care about... MOTHER 3

[@nostalgiafactor733]

+LeafyLucario64 *gets fireballed*

[@inceptional]

***** The argument would hold some weight if we at least had all the first party games from all of Nintendo's home and handheld consoles playable on Wii U already, seeing as the system is technically capable of playing pretty much every single one of them, but we don't-ergo, you're argument is totally worthless, because you don't understand the first thing about the real issue(s) raised here.

[@TerenceTanyi]

It is possible that and probable that Switch can revive virtual console. I mean, they're not throwing VC away because it makes money.

[@inceptional]

Terence Tanyi Except it already looks like it might have issues replicating the way you'd want to play DS/3DS and Wii U VC titles on the thing. Not a great start, potentially.

Revolutionized is true. Remember how Sony and Microsoft laughed at the wireless controller and how you could move your arms to control the character on screen? How quick were they to institute those control schemes to their games? How quick were they to then call them "revolutionary" when they mocked it before. Remember kids just because your game has an "M" rating doesn't make it great.
