as someone that's already using nintendo music, i'm so amazed they're including wii channel themes!! it's great that their music is now more available and though there is still some very niche third party tracks like in my casual ds playlist that i doubt they'll ever include on the app, a lot of good music is already on there! i never received anything from these videos as they're not monetized but if they do get taken down i wanted to thank everyone for listening, and i probably will keep making niche playlists for stuff they don't upload on the app! thank you

I miss how Nintendo had a certain charm on stuff as simple as menu screens… now it’s just so silent on the Nintendo switch :(

[@FoxWare]

A lot of things and menus on the switch run under a poorly made web browser without JavaScript "JIT". That makes it have lots of limitations. The decision was made because of "security reasons". Anyway, the Switch was pwned 1 week after its release. They could have changed that to add music and nice visual effects to their default apps. 😟

I grew up with these decades of vibes from GameCube to 3DS since when I was young. This is my favorite era, the Frutiger Aero of Nintendo.

[@JPeeler-mu1kn]

It is absolutely insane to me to see kids these days treating the Wii how my generation treated the N64. For reference, I'm 26 years old, I got a Wii for Christmas the year it came out. For those of you that weren't alive during that time, the Wii is a very special console. I know that that's just my own nostalgia speaking, but there is something special about the Nintendo Wii. I remember the early commercials with the two Japanese men that would visit your house, and they would bow and say "Wii would like to play with you." Just one piece of advice for you: don't forget to enjoy what's going on around you right now. In about 15 years people are going to be looking at the Nintendo Switch the same way we are looking at the Nintendo Wii in this comment section today. The Wii era was magical, but the current eras have magic too 🙂

[@Beantypechannel]

Turning 24 and I agree. The Wii was the first Console I ever camped out overnight in a Walmart for it's release. There were so many games for the wii that became huge parts of not only me and my sister lifw but pretty much my whole intermediate family since they would come over and help us beat Mario galaxy, warioware, guitar hero, and of course Wii sports and play. Man... Its very bitter sweet looking at those time cus even tho life is cool as an adult now, back then it really was the best times ever.

My family would have a 'game night' with Wii Sports and have a big game of bowling together and we'd all spin around if the ball went backwards. It was a truly magical time.

I got my Wii for Christmas in 2007 when I was 5 years old. I was visiting my cousins up in the woods up in Washington, and it was my first Christmas with snow (very HEAVY, pure white snow as far as the eye could see). We got the console with Wii Sports, Wii Play, and a weird little Tomogachi party game, but my sister and I didn't even care about the games, we just loved to play in the Mii Maker and the photo app (we would put in an SD card and edit all the photos of us in the snow, by adding stickers and effects). Aytime I hear Wii era music, I remember being in that house, sitting on the tan carpeted floor, and playing on that old blocky CRT tv, as snow fell outside the window. Now that I'm an adult, I am actually making a game WITH those Washington cousins, and we are trying to capture that feeling and that Wii era (in a game that kind of combines AC: City Folk with Nintendo Land). I really appreciate this video, cause one of my jobs on this game is to make the music, so I have just been listening to a TON of Wii/U/DS (and even GameCube) fruitger aero mixes (for reasearch), and this is easily the best one I've found so far. Thank you so much! I'm subscribed and excited to hear the other mixes you have made. :)

It quite literally brought the family together; my dad and I playing Wii tennis, and even some of his friends from work when they came for dinner would want to try out Wii boxing and Baseball, and it was just amazing how it brought all of these people together. Magical. No other words to describe it

yea I’m 26, this is worded so well.

It's not just Nintendo that quit trying, really all the gaming companies quit trying to some degree. Simple background music here and there, better interface designs, just overall more details and more time spent on making a worthwhile and full experience in the tiniest things. We need to see gaming companies return to this.

[@MadaraUchiha-.._]

i enjoy some of the impact music ^^

[@katelyn8937]

quite literally the most perfect playlist

[@minhteaa]

Listening to this while boiling some water for tea. Brings back memories of playing wii with friends and my family. I loved it so much. If I hope to keep the wii so that if I ever have kids they can enjoy it too! It’s a shame not many if any kids are going to experience it too. So I want to keep it! Plus, it’s fun to indulge in it even now sometimes

[@jinjibells4891]

pikmin 3 was one of the games i still played up to having to sell my wii u when moving in 2021 :) the music makes me feel so nostalgic. i was 9 when i got my wii u, and played it up until i was 18

@@Marsaiz wii u is underrated, scott the woz made me appreciate it more

[@Stargazing_night_sky]

​@neomoonnim it's a great console for the same reason the gamecube is, it didn't have much third party so nintendo had to pull out their A game on first party games. Yeah, some of them were stinkers. But the wii u had pikmin 3, mario kart 8, mario 3d world, botw, xenoblade x, and a few more I'm probably forgetting. While pretty much all the great wii u games are on switch now, they started on wii u. (Another one that I'll say is mario party 10 EVEN though everyone hates it, I loved that game TvT)

I'll never know how hard my dad fought to get a Wii. The hype was so real, sold out everywhere for so long. But I remember getting out of school one day, getting into the car, and there it was, and he was very excited to show me. Still got my thick original DS, too.

Magical - Wii menu music brought me back, I was lucky enough to get an original Wii the day before release as my parents were distributing them. It genuinely brought me back to opening the console and thinking the wiimote was tiny, and then booting up to that menu music haha. Then delivering them to all my friends the next day was amazing too!

RIP Iwata for giving us the greatest era of nintendo

[@RogersBase]

The vibes are immaculate with this one.

[@stickergz]

I barely remember the first time I got my WII, I believe one of my dads friends just gave one to me with some games on it, like Smash Bros Brawl, Sonic and the Black Knight, Wii sports and Wii sports resort, and probably a few others. I have no idea if I still have my Wii (haven't checked out the closet to find it). All I can say is that it brought me so many good memories, and having any old gen nintendo console is an experience you could really never forget. The feelings they gave you as you played through it were unlike anything any other console could give you.

[@levanterneverlands]

I'm kinda young, and the only reason I probably respect and love the ds and wii as much as I do is because my brother and cousins grew up with it so naturally I played with them. They were a huge part of my childhood even though most people don't really care about them anymore.

[@cocoasprinklez]

its so weird to think that i'm probably one of very few kids around my age who were raised on the wii and ds era of consoles. most of my friends had ps4s and xbox ones and here i was playing games like mario galaxy and rayman origins on my wii and mario party ds with my sister on my ds lite. it almost feels like my nostalgia for these consoles is completely out of place for someone whos only 17 but i seriously do have so many fond memories of those consoles even if i also got a wii u, 3ds and switch later down the line. such great consoles, i love their vibe and game catalogues

[@neomoonnim]

i really love this era of gaming and frutiger aero & cybercore aesthetics but i'm not really good with differentiating them exactly and choosing songs so in my playlists there might be some stuff that doesn't qualify for frutiger aero, just my best attempt at capturing that vibe

[@Aisosahere]

Okay.

[@prettyboi4260]

Feel the same way i have made a playlist with a friend about a subcategory of frutiger aero (helvetica aqua aero) and we have wii themes and games like mario cart in them too. We believe or i at the very least that the feeling of nostalgia plays a huge role in choosing the music and I believe you captured the essence of frutiger aero very well

[@neomoonnim]

@@prettyboi4260 do you think thats a good name for this type of music? if so i'd use it

[@prettyboi4260]

​@@neomoonnim i think the name you used fits already very well ( I love the ds and wii thats why i clicked in the first place xD ). Helvetica Aqua aero is more watery bubbly and way more colours perhaps you know donkey kongs aquatic ambience its often used in this context or mario sunshine in my opinon it perfectly matches these beach vibes HAA embodies

[@luminous_skates]

When I was a lot younger (like when I was maybe 5, I’m only 11 as of now though) my mom showed me that we actually had a Wii, and her aunt or something gave her a bunch of game disks and one of those disks was ACCF and that’s how I was introduced to animal crossing.. and of course, Wii sports resort, and Wii fit plus. Great times, I love that Wii and I still have it hooked up even though we moved.

[@neomoonnim]

omg accf was my childhood game but youre so tiny, i bet youll get to play a lot more new animal crossings lmao

[@luminous_skates]

@@neomoonnimOh, I did actually play 2 other versions. So, Wiis can take GameCube disks so I got the original AC for it, and then around 2021 I think we finally got a switch and the first game we got was Animal Crossing : New Horizons. If it wasn’t for that random set of disks we had I would’ve never found Animal Crossing when I was little and I might’ve been a different person today. I love Animal Crossing so much.

I still remember first getting a Wii for Christmas as a kid. I also remember the day it decided to stop reading discs. I tried to take it with me to college, but it was like well over a decade old at that point. I had just bought a new game for like $5 because the Wii was so outdated no one had any use for their games anymore. Popped the disc in and bam. End of my childhood. Everything has an expiration I suppose. I really miss the Wii chapter of my life.

honestly ive seen some hit-and-miss frutiger aero-themed playlists but i think especially that keeping things themed to this era of nintendo makes it work perfectly. some of my most formative memories come from when frutiger aero was on its way out and when the wii u was still A Thing People Didn't Like All That Much but i still have so many fond memories of them. i could just go on and on about how the switch just doesnt have the same soul as the 3ds and wii u but youve probably heard a monologue like it at least 7 times before in this comment section. youre doing great work for 2000s/2010s childhood nostalgia o7 fingers crossed that nintendo at least gives something in this console gen a mii maker theme again
