PLAYING EVERY NINTENDO WII LAUNCH GAME

[@TeamTripleJump]

Are there any Wii launch titles that stick out to you? We'll be tackling either the Sega Dreamcast next, with the PS1 ON THE HORIZON.

[@no1wasgeorgiebest]

More of these videos, great to watch.

[@modest_mind2526]

Review my Dragon Ball games lol

[@RichardLarge88]

I never had a Wii - wasn't particularly sold on the motion controls thing. But a housemate got one and, yeah, Wii sports was awesome. I think I figured out that the golf was much easier sitting down waving your arm back and forth instead of pretending you're holding a golf club.. oh and I remember I somehow managed to screw up my elbow playing Wii tennis. Also YAY Dreamcast! Got mine on launch day in the UK - don't think we got Soul Calibur as a launch title here IIRC?

[@RickyRicardo03]

I had a Wii and I feel great! Oh, that sounds wrong doesn’t it?

Hunter Green for real. I am looking forward to every episode of this series

[@mewxtwo]

Same. Have always loved stuff like this, I'm not sure how to detail it but another thing that falls under the category is for example on a "whodunit"episode of a tv show where they go through and give each characters perspective. I'm not sure what it is about list/order based promises but I've always loved it.

[@MightyDekuTree]

Completely agree! I was won over from the opening joke. 😂

[@asapoluu9885]

He’s gonna do it for next gen you heard it here first

[@crocodude]

As average as Red Steel ended up being, there was something magical about turning the Wiimote to the side and having you character in game turn his gun the same way. That was a ‘wow’ moment for me on launch day.

[@StudioInkblot]

"Anything you want, birthday boy"

[@user-to2fs1nu6e]

The wii is top 3 consoles ever man it was so good

[@brendantodd4962]

I lost my mind when the Wiimote became a sword

[@k1ngk4gl3]

It's a shame the first game got so much hate. Not because it was secretly amazing or anything. Simply because- by all accounts- the sequel _was_ a lot better, and the devs really seemed to put in the effort for it, judging from all the previews/interviews. As a concept, it's something that deserved to flourish into a genre. Hell, if things were different, VR may have evolved even faster.

[@SpaceMissile]

i only got the sequel, but I remember red steel II being a lot of fun. i don't remember any major control issues, but it was like 10+ years ago for me.

[@kaspervletter290]

Correction Twilight princess IS one of the best games ever made

[@rodrigor1992]

Lol

[@MrMarinus18]

21:00 I think it's a great start. It's something really mundane but it clearly excites Link which sets the mood of how quint the village is. Many say it's aged poorly but I strongly disagree. A lot of the animations are still really great and the atmosphere is as powerful and eerie as it has ever been. When I played TP as a teenager I actually liked how it started off so small. It made me feel so much more mature that the game trusted me to have it start out very natural. I felt a connection with Ordon village that I never felt for any location in OOT.

[@mnky75]

This really is the best video of Ben having a Wii!

[@shaunkennedy174]

I can’t imagine what it was like to get a new wii and the first game you play is Twilight princess, that game was absolutely epic

[@Scanchy1]

That was me. It was also my first zelda game....good times

[@darkestification]

I didn’t like twilight princess.

[@shaunkennedy174]

JB I’ve heard a couple people say they didn’t actually, was it because of the darker tone?

[@darkestification]

Shaun Kennedy No I don’t mind a darker tone. The game just bored the hell out of me and the pacing is god awful in my opinion. Zelda is one of my favorite game series and has been in my childhood and adulthood but twilight princess is the worst Zelda game I’ve played.

[@s4tchm0j0n3s]

Twilight Princess was the only launch title that I picked up and I definitely wasn't disappointed. I'll always remember the novelty of aiming the bow for the first time. Great game.

[@doomiag]

The last part of that Tony Hawks clip at 21:58 is a Simpsons reference, it's from when Homer sets up the vigilante group.

Get on Zelda Link to the Past. Its available for "free" on your SNES App for Switch if you're subscribed to their $20 a-year online service. It's so worth it and the game every Zelda game before BotW was based on.

[@reillymcwriting]

Why? *bashes own head in* Here’s why.

[@HowDoGame]

Twilight Princess is best played on GameCube for sure! Although I didn't mind the Wii controls too much. Probably quite well known but the Wii version's world is completely mirrored from the GameCube version. This is because more people are right handed whereas Link is usually left handed....so they mirrored the whole world! Wii Sports is generally so much fun, I think the golf was my favourite.

[@HowDoGame]

@Guy Dude Lol, no not at all. Ha, I honestly never realised he was in those too. Skyward Sword makes sense I guess but I must have not paid enough attention in Breath of the Wild. I love them all!

[@HowDoGame]

​@Guy Dude Oh no lol, I have no problem at all with it. Very weird thing to bash them for ha I genuinely like Skyward Sword a bunch :) Actually been really wanting to play it again as it has been a while.

Really enjoying your launch line up videos! All your content is great, actually - only discovered your channel recently. While I don't feel like emulation really does justice to how bad (or at least, jaggy) some of the games looked on the original hardware, I get that there are probably practical issues with actually capturing some of this stuff.

Red Steel 2 makes up for the first wonky one. RS 2 is actually pretty amazing.

[@anaiseanaise]

Was gonna say, first time seeing RS1...what a departure with the second.

[@ressljs]

I thought the first one was on OK FPS with a sword gimmick that was cool for the first few times, but once the novelty wore off, yeah, the sword play in the first one was awful. I think RS2 was one of the best games on the system, and maybe the very best example of motion controls of any Wii game.
