What was your favorite game from the Wii series? BTW, the singing is intentionally bad! It’s part of the joke!

[@the_gmaer]

nintendo land

[@TheThinkingHound]

It was definitely curling.

I have some weird love for wii play. The game is pretty average but I have great memories playing it

Resort

[@cow4]

sports resort

[@fallenaster]

I absolutely love wii party. It’s the perfect game to play with people and is great even for playing with people who don’t know anything about video games. Aside from that there are so many games that I never could get bored of it.

[@mariomaster101official]

Same it's such an underrated gem

[@dalalabunassif1667]

My sisters used to play it when I was born I broke when I became 7 in 2021 I got Wii Party pal so it did not work then I got one again and it worked love you Wii party 👍♥️♥️♥️🫶

FINALLY! Someone who doesn’t think Wii Play motion’s a sin.

[@Yourmom753]

But it's their loss for they

[@pinkmoont4788]

this is something we know we should all embrace

I’m on a quest to address all the requests

Please understand this kind of stuff is virgin-etic cache

[@brandonm8901]

I genuinely used to play Wii Music all the time 😅 my friends and I would make a band and create our own songs. We were easily entertained in 2008

[@melvinlovesyou_]

me and my sister did the same thing, but it was 2014. We would look back on our old wii consoles to see what weird miis weve made and what songs we made in wii music. we even used the nonexistent note posts in the wii menu 🤭

[@Cyorg13]

I got Wii Party at a store used for like 5 dollars. Now that I think about it, it was a good deal.

[@Ricendeans]

True story: my cousins and siblings have played Wii Party almost every Thanksgiving/holiday since it came out. I don’t know why (the mini games are objectively not that great), but the gameplay of that mode is actually very fun and strategic and has served as the perfect annual competition for holiday get togethers for more than a decade. Dunk on Wii Party all you want (and it deserves it) but Swap Meet is an 11/10 when playing with four people.

[@sady3327]

Sorry dude you mistyped, it's actually "the mini games are objectively great"

[@Ricendeans]

@@sady3327 the baby rocking mini game haunts my dreams lol. Could never figure that one out

[@i8vods84]

Dude wanna b buds

[@Shyguymask]

I completely forgot Wii Sports Club existed.... at least the logo for it looks sick EDIT: WII PLAY MOTION??? WHAT IS THAT I NEVER HEARD OF IT 😭

[@THEYORKSHIRE-PUDDING]

Hi shyguymask

[@jqsperxD]

I have wii play motion and trust me you don’t wanna play it

[@duhmoted]

never heard of wii motion plus??!?

[@Danerade]

As a reviewer it's hard for me to categorize Wii Play Motion as it is almost unanimously considered better than the original but for some reason the majority (including myself) also agree that it's more fun to replay the original. After playing Motion for the video I feel little incentive to replay any of the games but the original has things like Tanks, Billards, and even Fishing that can warrant a replay every once in a while.

[@jonnymcburger9336]

@@Danerade It's most likely because while the Wii play motion is a "better" game it lack some of the Nintendo charm the original had

[@DetectiveJones]

Ive had this strange desire to replay a lot of the Wii games recently and Ive only played Sports and most of Resort but theyre just such great games that have dozens of games within them

[@mariomaster101official]

Gonna be honest, I actually really love Wii Party and find it lots of fun

[@simonecesarlastname1852]

Me, my friends and family absolutely loved wii party. It was really fun, and probably our favourite wii game we owned until the day when we inserted the disc in a wrong angle and broke it.

[@FrazzaJazz]

I've been playing Wii Sports a lot recently and just cannot get over how good it is. I thought it was just gonna be "durr hurr nostalgia" but no it's actually really freaking good and I'm hooked

[@samuel-wankenobi]

Same I played all 3 I will never play the switch one though it looks horrible

[@RyanDxxx0]

I still go back to Wii Sports Resort a lot, just the games were so fun. But as a kid, I had a weird obsession with the jogging game in Wii Fit, just cause haha running around Wii Sports Island n stuff was just fun for me.

[@aheadsounds2522]

Same

[@bottledpoe]

ikr??? it even had secrets and stuff to find which made it more fun lol, same with the bicycle game on wii fit plus

[@grandom7116]

Not going to lie, the Wii is the most nostalgic thing ever. Even though I never had it. (I used watch a lot of KZbinrs who played on the Wii.)

[@ClassicBentobox]

@Safwaan You only had it that long? I still have my Wii from 2006, the front cover is clean off but it still works to this day. I got it for my 10th birthday.

[@ClassicBentobox]

@Safwaan Ah, Homebrew my friend. It’s easy, and you can use anything from an sd card to a flash drive to a external hard drive, and you can play any wii or GameCube games. As well as consoles like PS1. Or use it like a media player. Some people may have ethical issues, but the store and the Wii line by extension are discontinued. So there’s no way to get repairs, and all the Wii games on the Wii store that’s now closed are only available through home brew means. It’s the only possible way to play Wii as it was intended at this point. But I did it early on which gave my Wii a very long shelf life since it’s my best all around console for crt’s.

[@blankminded1033]

I always appreciate a KZbinr who takes the time to list out the music that was used in the description. Good content as always!

[@yellowdsduck]

I liked almost the whole video, the one thing I hated was the transitions between each game

[@lunagale1573]

Wii Party had one of my favorite modes: Snitch. You had to unlock it but essentially, one person secretly had an advantage in the minigames and the other players had to figure out who it was. It was fun, especially when you managed to trick your friends hehe

[@rawsome1234]

Okay fair but also Find Mii is very addicting. In all fairness I have a large number of random miis on my wii, but it's still good nonetheless

[@trevorspinelli9889]

That was the only reason I ever touched Wii Play tbh

[@thedangerstrangeruk]

You can't recognise the masterpiece that is wii party, you will be boiled

[@mariomaster101official]

As part of the Wii Party fanbase, I agree with this

[@asackboyplush6508]

As part of the Wii party cult I also agree with this

[@nickk3077]

My ranking from best to worst: Wii Sports Resort (Amazing theming, very Nintendo-like, and made the original Wii Sports 10 times better! A CLASSIC!) Wii Fit U (It's actually pretty great! Some of the most unique uses of the Wii U GamePad and it even uses the camera pretty well! An alright fitness trainer, but an even better game!) Wii Fit Plus (Doesn't use Wuhu Island as much as the Wii U version and the games aren't as good as the sequel but is still a solid game!) Wii Sports (Innovative and fun and works well, but a little redundant because of Resort. It should still be high on my list because of its legacy and that sweet, generous price of $0!) Wii Party U (It's a pretty fun party game, with new modes and GamePad uses that make it standout more.) Wii Party (It's fun for a bit, but the sequel is better. Sorry for repeating that, but Nintendo kept making better versions of these Wii games!) Wii Fit (It's unnecessary because of the better sequels, but it's still not bad and might be better than Wii Party if I am being honest.) Wii Play Motion (A little more complex than Wii Play, but still... it's Wii Play) Wii Play (Very simple, but okay minigame collection. It was pretty much $10, so nothing too unexpected here. Could have done much better though.) Wii Sports Club (The most redundant game ever because it turned a free game into a slightly improved experience for $40! Not worth it!) Wii Music (One of the worst Nintendo games I've ever played. Had some potential... I guess.)

[@ericwijaya2119]

Not exactly a Wii game but Where's Miitopia

[@bottledpoe]

My favorite part about wii fit u was that it took the seasons into consideration, like wuhu island would change seasons

[@nickk3077]

@@bottledpoe Yeah! That was an amazing touch! It’s probably one of the best ways of experiencing Wuhu Island in my opinion, with the gorgeous visuals and plenty of interesting mini games and exercises there! The Wii U gamepad was extremely cool and perhaps some of the best gamepad minigames ever were in Wii Fit U! It really is a Wii U hidden gem!

[@nickk3077]

@@ericwijaya2119 I honestly have no clue. Unlike literally every Wii game, this feels like an adventure with some sort of story and motive. It’s so different! If I were to squeeze it on to this list somewhere... I would probably put it below Wii Sports maybe??? It has a load of personality, but it’s not always constant. Another problem is that the gameplay is a tad too repetitive and does not have much depth or challenge . Aside for that, it is great! The uses of Miis is cool, but the gameplay isn’t stimulating enough unfortunately. That’s just me though.

[@TheGreatOwlMaster]

Where's Wii Chess

[@danidkg4071]

Wii party is honestly one of my favourites lol

[@Big_Boss_985]

Fun Fact: The Wii Fit U pedometer is actually just a reskin of of the Pokewalker. (Just a pokemon themed pedometer that came with heart gold and soul silver.) So yeah, Nintendo probably didn't even make it.

[@thatduck8000]

Another fun fact: a research on pedometers at the time concluded that the pokewalker was one of, if not the best pedometer out at the time in terms of accuracy and tracking

[@miimiiandco.8721]

The "take a break" reached it's peak in the 3DS era.

[@BinglesP]

1:34 Clean tracking there

[@jlbeeen]

I had no idea Wii Sports Club even existed... Wii Play was actually good considering it came out before Resort and we didn't really have a lot of other things that used motion controls decently. I only played the originals (minus party) and Resort, other than Wii Fit U because it was basically free. I really wanted a Wii Paint one, like a remake of Mario Paint, which would have been a great addition to the otherwise rather similar lineup. Wii Music was really good once everything was unlocked, but it was so hard to unlock some of them. I loved the Animal Crossing songs in it, as as a kid who would often play some of these with friends, it was good. And oddly enough, my Wii from 2006 still works and my Wii U doesn't even boot up properly (gets stuck on the logo screen), so it's nice that some of the Wii games still hold up.

[@BunnyRain946]

Good video! Only nitpick though, the motion plus is not an accelerometer, that was already built into the regular wii remote. The motion plus added a gyroscope which allowed the motions of the controller in the game to be identical to how you moved the wii remote in real life.

[@MoonGhostDoodles]

I learned something new today! Danerade should never be allowed to sing.

[@Danerade]

True!

[@MoonGhostDoodles]

@@Danerade saw the edited main comment. It’s ok my dude, it was a funni xd Good vid!

2:04 hey wii boxing was my favourite as a kid and probably had influence on me becoming a boxer

[@mimii694]

I used to LOVE Wii Music. It was always my favourite wii game. I had no clue people hated it so much god damn.

[@AD3Supa]

I liked it too. A lot of people understandably didn't like the amount of songs, but QUITE a few just never gave it a fair shot in the first place.

[@iitsmeromii]

The editing is really good, nice job!!!!!!!

[@emperorscarlet8876]

Gonna be honest I didn't even know Wii Sports Club existed Edit: also that whack-a-mole game in Wii Play Motion was my jam back in the day

[@ATomato]

I have it downloaded on my Wii U, im the higher class.

[@Sheeprampage]

Pre-Congratulations for 100k !

[@SumPlusWord]

What I don’t like when people talk about Wii Party, is that too many of them think about Mario Party at the same, even though Wii Party isn’t trying to be like that at all. Quite literally the only similarity between the two is the genre they are in. Other than that, it’s really its own thing.

[@StenExStended]

The Muta laugh never gets old

[@PrivateLZG]

HOW DARE YOU criticise Wii Party! THIS GAME IS INCREDIBLE AND I WONT BELIEVE ANYTHING ELSE!

[@mariomaster101official]

I agree so much, Wii Party is a masterpiece IMO

[@S1gH6]

Finally the video I have been waiting for

[@gxmatti09]

as an european, i say this video is not complete without the best one: wii chess. And with that, au revoir

[@blackstorm5851]

You missed the most important one in the series: Wii Chess

[@LandonEmma]

Fun fact: The Wii Was Released 9 Days After My Birthday, And Me And Him Have Been Best Friend Ever Since! :D

[@CrumbleKoek]

I love this video, the comedic timing is often on point, not all of the jokes land for me but the ones that do REALLY do. The only thing I didn't like about the video were the random song sections at the start of each game's review, they just didn't work with the pacing and felt a lot more irritating than funny to me.

[@miladyghost]

He said in a comment that the singing was meant to be bad as it’s part of the joke but having to explain that means the joke was bad too. I agree, the singing sections were so annoying and also weren’t that funny to me too. Hopefully this guy is able to work on his comedic abilities some more, I couldn’t help but think that he was trying to imitate Scott the Woz.

[@tonysonic456]

I played a ton of the Wii series. Here are my personals takes on them. Wii Sports: Loved it. Me and my family had fun every time we booted it up. Wii Fit: My mom used this a lot. I played the minigames once and then never again. Wii Party: So much nostalgia from this game. Wii Party U: Equal amount of nostalgia from this game too. I'm not sure if I preferred it over the original, but given that we barely played the original after getting U, I'm guessing my family did.

[@StewDogR]

Congrats on 100k!

[@ldc0322]

I have to say actually I have so many fun memories with wii party! I have a group of friend that I invite to my house every once in a while and we play the dice island game and it’s always fun :))

[@Kitsu-vk3of]

[@ThomatoSauce]

This is your daily PSA saying that Miis are not gone completely from Nintendo Switch Sports, they just didn’t let you use them in the demo for whatever reason.

[@bigmantshaan]

Yeah they will be optional in the actual game, just weren't in the demo

[@Ozzianman]

03:47 Wii Motion Plus is a gyro, the normal Wii Remote already has an accelerometer.

[@GoodGooseThingit]

I personally likes wii play motion. It brings back a lot of memories when I put in the disk and played it on the wii u for the first time In like 7 years.

[@Tricky_Nick]

HES BACK

[@HooMungus]

wii play: a game you probably own because it came with a wii remote

NEW DANERADE WOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@the_gmaer]

my thoughts exactly.

[@danielwilliams475]

Lol great job with the video

[@alface935]

Conclusion: The only games that you will be coming back to playing after the first time is Wii Sports,Wii Sports Resort,Wii Sports Club and Nintendo Switch Sports all the other Wii series of games you would only return to 1-3 of your favorite minigames and ignore the rest of the minigames in after you already play all the minigames for the first time

[@Coffeepants]

wii motion was my favorite because you could co-op the minigames

[@rainbowyoshi3968]

My Wii isn’t region locked since I Homebrewed mine. I played the European version of Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn.

[@Crafty_boy70]

Every WII game in 10 words or less: Wii sports: Good introduction to motion controls! Feels like a demo though. Wii Sports Resort: YEAH! This is the full version! One of the best! Wii Fit: A fitness game? this is actually pretty fun though! Wii Fit Plus: RIP everyone who bought Wii Fit before this came out Wii Music: Why? Wii Play: Why? at least its fun? Wii Play Motion: What? Wii Party: Really cool, very distinct from Mario party. Wii Sports Club: This game is a sin. Wii Party U: Nice followup to Wii Party! Wii Fit U: Still weird, but still fun? Switch Sports: Pretty cool, but why the new characters?
