The Miiverse was the life blood of this console. Loading up Wawa Plaza today is so depressing. I miss it deeply. As someone who also bought a Wii U at launch, I can't help but feel like Nintendo really shafted their biggest fans with the console, probably why I never got a Switch.

I found this video after firing my U up today for the first time in a while to play MK8 & MK Wii with my daughter, we had a blast, i always loved my U back when it was released, i modded my original system and upgraded the gamepad battery before I sold it to a friend after not using it for a year or so. Re-bought one a year ago and love it, iv been meaning to mod it again cos of the emulation and gamecube capabilities. I think the gamepad was crminally under-utilised by many devs. LONG LIVE THE WII U!!

I just bought one on Ebay a year or two after selling my Switch. The Switch is a fine console but it just doesn't have any charm and I can safely mod a Wii U to get emulators and stuff. Plus I never had the money for a Wii U when it was relevant so I finally said "screw it" and bought one only after nearly a decade of wanting one.

It had its issues but I found the Wii U to be massively underrated. Whereas I honestly find the Switch to be a tad overrated. I prefer virtual console to the Switch NES/SNES online, Miiverse over cheap shitter and crackbook support, and the comfy, durable gamepad over baby hand joy cons that get drift way to easy. I also like how Nintendo gave the Wii U actual NEW games, whereas with the Switch they seem more focused on trucking games over from the Wii U, slapping a deluxe to the title, and slapping a new game price tag to something that came out 7-8 years earlier for their prior console.

This console is one of my favorites and for a multitude of reasons. The ability to play solely on the GamePad (for the most part), the uniqueness it had with Virtual Console, the games, Miiverse as a whole and for bringing Splatoon as well! Then again, that franchise became one of my personal favorites as it helped me a lot during tough times. Also, can I say that the music that plays in the Mii Maker menu is so amazing? The melody is brings is so soothing...

Nitrorad said it was a neat but annoying gimmick, having something to do with the order of raising up the tablet and hitting the button to enter ghost mode; your brain wants to do things one way while the game needs you to do it the other. I noticed HM said it took a few hours to get it down. I think it sounds pretty awesome though. Would be difficult for Tecmo to do something as cool in a future game.

Great perspective and pushing back this system into its deserved spotlight as a much underated console I started to fell in love with the Wii U about 2 years ago when discovered sone of my old left Wii Games and couldn't play them as my Wii was broken Then I heard of some of the old staff produced a new Donkey Kong Country Game snd there's an Open World Zelda Game out there so I first had to get those games then the console itself A purchase I never regret I wished it had more range for the Wii U Pad connection in streaming Gameplay but I'm bypassing it with a second console I'm moving around my house and yard and plugging it into any near my desired sweetspot's power supply since most of the games I own are playable on Pad screen which isa nice feature It's worth to mention that I focused also on collecting Wii Games again since Wii U is playing those old games with ease and adjustable solution, being able to plug in HDMI out to an mClassic upscaler I also like to add that it might be worth of doing the Update Data thing for all retail games you own Now that I count a 100+ OAL and exclusives in my collection it has become worth a shot as long the entire online network is still running and some games might need an Update to get rid of major bugs maybe Until now I haven't discovered any game that only runs if you downloaded an update though... many demand one but you it allows you to skip the process and just run the software instead I use a second console instead for playing to bypass waiting time while its processing updates and backup stuff (using external drive) However its really about time to purchaseas much desired games from the E-Shop as possible while it's still alive It's getting sale offs every once in a while and even a new game popped up on 9th of december recently Hope there will follow some more befor the Shop is being shut off for good Still there are great E-Shop only games worth to mention like Affordable Space Adventures, Child of Light, Trine 1 + 2 etc. My third Wii U is modified for retro gaming with backup roms read from my original cartridges I own and doing other experimental stuff Homebrew support is great I think A weak point for me is the stock Internet Browser of Wii U as its heavily outdated I want Chrome instead 3DS system recieved a new update which I had to install to gain back access to the E-Shop Should Nintendo ever shut down the whole Online Network thing I keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't affect the console's ability to play games without Internet Connection Yet still something I really appreciate about the Wii U Have a nice time and stay safe Greetings from Germany

I was in the middle of checking out any potential accessories for consoles (I.E 3DS, Wii, Wii U, Ps4, Switch, and so on), but Im glad to have ran into this video. Although I do own a standard Wii, I for one have an appreciation for my Wii U, and I'll certainly be making the most of what I got. I should consider the tips you provided to modernize my Wii U, such as getting a new GamePad battery, because on Nintendo Land after completing a few attractions, my battery was already low which is pretty darn dumb. Which can make it difficult for me to play other games such as Pokken Tournament and Smash Bros for Wii U. Overall, I really enjoyed this video, and provided I somehow find a way to mod my Wii U, would love to try out Miiverse for the first time.... at least..... until it finishes.

The WiiU was the first console I actually bought with my own money, I remember a friend having it and playing Zombie U on it, that was my system seller. We had so much fun that I decided to go for the WiiU instead of the PS4, which I bought only much later down the line after Nintendo gave up on the WiiU. To me one of the dearsest systems I own, it followed me all across Europe during several periods where I worked abroad and had a great web browser to stream content, the usual streaming apps and the chat app was quite nice to keep in touch with my friends with video calls etc etc. A shame now it's mostly a crippled system beacuse software support was ended so soon, hell on my 360 and PS3 most of everything still works...but hey oh!

Even though Fatal Frame 5 got released physically in Europe, I was never actually able to buy it, no matter how hard I looked. Sold out everywhere, and quickly rose in price. So in the very few instances of America not getting a physical game Europe did (when 60% of the time it's the other way around), we STILL got fucked over by the scalpers. Great.

Thanks for this awesome video, it helps to slim down the best games for the platform. One thing I should point out that you didn't mention in the video: the Wii U is very picky with what external hard drive you use. Any external powered enclosure will work, but only a handful of USB self-powered enclosures will work correctly. I personally had 3 different USB enclosures and only one worked without issues, yet all 3 work fine with the original Wii. It seems the Wii U supplies less miliAmps through the USB ports than the original Wii, so finding the right combination of HDD/SSD and USB enclosure might be a question of luck.

I really need to get that gamepad battery replacement, and I keep forgetting about Fatal Frame 5 despite being one of the reasons I got the console. Really wish that at least had a physical release in the west like Tokyo Mirage Sessions or Xenoblade Chronicles X.

I ve never had a chance to play Pikmin 3, but there is an indie game, and the gameplay is exactly like Pikmin, on Switch, with the very beautiful artstyle and super chill nice music ~ The Wild at Heart. I really recommend checking it out. Very pretty and fun. PS Loooved your review. Reminded me of better times, when I d get my weekly reviews for gaming from TV. Was it on MTV? Anyway It used to be much better than babbling bloggers with the copy paste info these days. Quality content. You guys deserve more views.

thanks man for this focus, you helped me save a lot of time browsing about the console since i didn't use it at all before. i'm willing to get one soon but i got a question ... can i play online with a modded one ? is there any risk of ban or something ? much appreciated man.

Enjoyable watch as ever. Fatal frame 5 is great and still pretty fucking terrifying in places- emulating it needs a bit of tweaking to avoid broken segments, but the assets look surprisingly good at higher resolutions. It's sad that the wiiu is regarded as a prison for a lot of its exclusives when there's so many stories of Nintendo giving projects and studios support for interesting titles. You even have to imagine platinum games might be eternally grateful for ninty effectively bailing them out by pumping money into bayonetta 2 and wonderful 101.

Hey, good to know about better batteries, I keep my pad wired up at all times... Also, you’re the first person I’ve heard who liked the single player experience of Splatoon. I’ve avoided the game before but always been curious.

I bought a thumbtack flash drive with hundreds of gigs on it for my wii u and you can still close the flap on the front. Also, the aftermarket battery gives the gamepad extra weight and makes me feel like an adult
