日本 (Japan) Wii U Unboxing & Story

[@SoftOtaku]

I agree that a very different look with each new generation is not only nice, but good for marketing. Some people think that because the Wii U looks so much like the Wii, parents aren't buying it, thinking it is just a souped-up Wii, rather than an all-new console. And I love the blocky SNES. And the blocky cartridges, with proper labels which can be read even when the games are on the shelf.

[@SoftOtaku]

It's just one copy of Batman, with the SteelBook case as a bonus. My Nintendo Network IDs are DrMarioKarter and SoftOtaku. I think.

[@SoftOtaku]

I've soft-modded my Wii like that, and it's pretty amazing. The most amazing thing about it is that someone like ME was able to make it work. I don't plan on messing with either of my Wii U consoles any time soon, but maybe someday. The more I get into collecting, the less interested I am in modding consoles. But it is still a lot of fun to make a Wii or an XBOX or a PSP do all kinds of stuff it couldn't do before!

[@SoftOtaku]

It is great fun to play with 2 or more people. The block placement element adds a new dimension. Good times.

[@SoftOtaku]

I love it. I think it's brilliant how they integrate the visual, audio, and vibration feedback. My biggest complaint is no trophy/achievement system.

[@SoftOtaku]

I'm not a big fan of downloading games, so I don't think I will do that too much, but I did put a 32 GB SD card in there. If I really need the extra space someday, I will just get an external hard drive.

[@SoftOtaku]

NSMB U Buddy Mode, or whatever it's called, is great. My gf and I are really enjoying it. My job is to try to keep her from dying using the GamePad while she plays with the Wii remote. Very clever idea. I also like the time attack levels. It's a really good game

[@SoftOtaku]

It is region-locked, so it only plays Japanese games. To be honest I didn't even try to change the settings to English, since the Japanese Wii didn't have that feature. I doubt it's possible, but I will try it when I get home.

[@SoftOtaku]

In my case it is more likely to gather dust while I wait for MarioKart and a few other games I really want to play. But I hear you and share the same concern to some degree.

[@SoftOtaku]

Thanks! English voice acting only. Everything else is in Japanese. But that's OK. The SteelBook case was a bonus that came with the game.

[@Eranyachii]

you're my number one favorite on gaming stuffs of all youtube gamers! :D

[@SoftOtaku]

They didn't take my reservation, I am guessing, because they felt uncomfortable. I guess I sometimes have that effect on people. I have to try harder to be mild and meek. Thanks for watching and sorry it took me a month to reply to your comment, apparently.

[@SoftOtaku]

That's a great idea! I may just do that very soon! Hmm... which game? Scribblenauts could be fun. Maybe 2P Mario.

[@misterdude206]

I like when I searched wiiu jpn. Yours was the first to pop up. :)

[@softotaku1072]

Hehe. Perhaps YT has applied a friendly algorithm. Thanks Dude.

[@SoftOtaku]

Thanks a lot! And merry Christmas to you!

[@SoftOtaku]

How is your family getting along with the Wii U?

[@SoftOtaku]

Actually, I think the Steel Book is a European one, but Toys R Us included it.

[@SoftOtaku]

Wow, I'm not going anywhere near that one! Thanks for watching!

[@SoftOtaku]

Sure! Mine are SoftOtaku and DrMarioKarter, I'm pretty sure.

[@SoftOtaku]

Yep. I have done the same, but I still use both.

[@SoftOtaku]

No, I don't think so. Some of them are the standard blue, I'm pretty sure.

[@SoftOtaku]

How is it treating you so far?

[@SoftOtaku]

There is no language settings option.

[@electricadventures]

Yeah I got a black one and set it up when all the kids were out (not a regular occurence), so by the time I hooked it up and did the "necessary" up date I did not actually get time to play with it, as wifey said they were on the way home, so I had to box it all up again and hide it. So guess I'll have to wait until Christmas day when they unwrap it before having a go. Will have to get one of those covers for the control pad though, did not think of that at the time.

[@SoftOtaku]

I did not unplug during the update.

[@BURP39R]

Those Gorilla pod do-da's seem a bit unstable. I use a regular video camera and a fully extendible tripod, bought for £5. (Not the camera, just the tripod). I wonder what other devices are available for the s3? Nice pick up, I'll be sitting on my paws till more games arrive.

[@electricadventures]

It was a huge hit and has been played at every opportunity since as well. We still only have Nintendo Land, as there was nothing worth getting in the after Christmas sales (I got some Blueray films instead of any games). Probably waiting for some more releases to come out.

[@SoftOtaku]

Haha,thanks.

[@SoftOtaku]

Or Scooby Doo, perhap? And sometimes my laugh sounds like Mickey Mouse.

[@Squirtleshore]

Btw I found out that the gamepads are region locked so you can't use a Japanese gamepad on an American wii I.

[@kimjongoof5000]

Grant M Why?

[@MartellThaCool]

That stinks. Dang Nintendo finally learned their lesson on making their console reigon free with the Nintendo Switch

[@SNESmapper]

The white basic set looks great. Do all 3rd party games come in a black case? I noticed MonHun has a black case too in another unboxing video

[@jamesxue007]

i also want the white version but with 32g. anyway, i am holding off til games that i like come out sometime next year. great present, merry xmas man!

[@deathkwondo35]

Those black wii u cases look great wish we got those for certain games.

[@misterdude206]

Quick reflexes like ninja. And yeah smudges on the black consoles

[@MrTommytulip]

That was great camera catch!

[@nogrules]

Awesome I like the look of the white system it doesn't seem to leave finger smudges all over it. I'm still on the fence about getting one right now, although Mario bros u looks fun.

[@gisaraCleoN]

Can u change the language from Japanese to English in language settings? And does it play us games or japanese games only? Thanks.

[@SoftOtaku]

Great! Thanks a lot!

[@louisv83]

Nice pick up. The Mario game is really fun. I was going to post a walkthrough of of super Mario but decided it would be best if I didn't because 90% of the time when I play videogames I throw out an f bomb or other swear word. Don't think the kids on KZbin would appreciate that lol.

[@TheSegaStoner]

Awesome getz! What's your Nintendo Network ID? Mine is thesegastoner . Why did you get 2 copies of Batman?

[@SoftOtaku]

8gb is small, but so is 32. If I need more memory I can add it later for less than the extra it would have cost to get the 32gb version. I'm not worried about it at all. And thanks--I am enjoying it so far. I think I chose my first two games well.

[@SoftOtaku]

Well, some of them did. I just got lucky on that one, I guess.

[@SoftOtaku]

Done!

[@SoftOtaku]

I've been wondering the same thing for the past few weeks. Oh well.

[@Captain_R]

Have fun with your Wii U, I bought the Premium Pack. :D

[@BURP39R]

Looking at the Wii U, I'm a bit disappointed in it. I think as each new console arrives, the departure from the last should be definite (stylistically). A whole conversation could start over what Nintendo did here. As I've got older I've begun to even appreciate the consoles I don't like the look of. (*that blocky SNES for one). But still it'd be interesting to see what you think of this.

[@evoGage]

It does look pretty slick but couldn't help and think it will just gather dust, like the Wii when the hype/gimmick dies down.

[@brianaobermaier8924]

I miss the wii so much.

[@Iwatchwateveriwant]

How does a Japanese console come out in Japan last?

[@SoftOtaku]

She's shy. ; )

[@nkhazov]

dude nice video what is your nintendo network id

[@YourFavoriteTwinzz]

Haha we dont have a babies r us in town :( BOO HOO! lol, I think i like how the white wiiu looks better than the black one, we are really wanting one of those, espcially for zombiu purposes! And that is super sweet of your gf to get that for you! :D LOL why did they not take your reservation?? xD it looks sooo epic!!

[@PrmtymeTheGamer84]

if you have enough for a wii-u you enough for a 120 gb hdd anyway good job on the pick up i am getting mine next year lol hopefully they drop in price lol anyway the only game i am looking forward to is bayonetta 2 and that's it .....sad indeed of course the eventual first party games will come but it will be a year till those show up so ....i dont know whether to throw my money at nintedo or buy the ps4 which will always have thrid part support and has awesome first party games

[@PrmtymeTheGamer84]

and also makes new ips on a constant bases so my heart is split and i dont have money like that to get both

[@SoftOtaku]

Oops! Looks like I answered your comment two, uh, three times! Doh!

[@Retromicky82]

Awesome . You gotta stop giving booze to your camera or it will always topple over . Lol . Also get your german friend playing the wii u lol .

[@SoftOtaku]

Wow, I hadn't seen this comment for some reason. Thanks so much! I'm not worthy!

[@Mariohenri90]

Thank you so much!mine is Mariohenri.

[@BURP39R]

Talking of the "souped up Wii", the souped down one really is sad to me. It's only graces being the rather retro, flip top. And the weird finish. Again another conversation there about the mkII of any console. I hate the mkII Mega Drive, the PS One is kinda cute, the ps2 mkII, I find quite sweet considering its first incarnation looks like an abandoned, block of flats, now. We come back to aesthetics. Very poor of Ninty to ignore this issue.

[@MuzzaHukka]

I know, same thing happened with the 3DS and 3DS XL!

[@AnTran147]

Arkham City gets a Steel Book in Japan? :O

[@RubenGoMoRadioboyPlus]

I prefer 1000000000 times the Nintendo exclusives over the 3rd and exclusives of Playstation or xBox

[@Retromicky82]

@SoftOtaku catching up on ya commments he,he . i forgot what i commented lol .
