If the Wii U was good for anything, it would be the virtual console. It somehow became my gateway to the metroid series after I bought Super Metroid on sale for 30¢. I then transitioned to Zero Mission and Fusion. If not for the Wii U, then I'd probably not be a Metroid fan today.

[@darienmiller1032]

@Walther Penne The switch has twice as much RAM, and a MUCH better octacore CPU compared to the anemic trash that was in the Wii u, so i don't know how the switch wouldn't be capable of "hardware acceleration". Nearly every single game on the Wii uwas ported over just fine and improved upon, so I don't see why they couldn't port over the wonderful 101.

The advertising for the Wii U was also horrible, not just because they had cringy adds for it, but mostly because they also made it seem like the console was for kids, by having little tiny ass midget 7 year olds Star in the commercials. While the switch’s advertising was much better, because they actually had some older adults on there commercials. Because of that, it makes adults feel comfortable with buying the console, and it makes children want it more because supposedly “it’s what big kids have.” You get my point here

[@HDRookie]

You are one of the only people who can just drop a 45-60 minute video and I'll just watch all of it. It's always a treat to see a new video from you on my feed. I think it's refreshing to see someone with similar thoughts to me on these games. I hate the fanboys who justify Nintendo's stupid actions. At the end of the day it comes down to good games and you understand that. You know, the Wii U era kinda sucked, but with the complete lack of new games it gave me so much time to actually play some retro games that I never got around to in the past. It's inexcusable on Nintendos part for this situation even happening to begin with, but at least the Wii U had some great VC titles especially when it extends to the Wii Mode. In the last few years with the Wii U I got to play the Metroid Prime series for the first time which was amazing, as well as stuff like Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6, Super Metroid, Kirby Nightmare in Dream Land, and Ocarina of TIme. I even got to actually play DK64 and realize how disappointing it actually was. It was kind of a nice system to pick up some old games that I couldn't really have easy access to otherwise as well anymore. I liked this aspect to it (despite the choice to not have Gamecube titles being stupid). Like how are you going to sell Wii Games on VC when they're already backwards compatible, but pass up on Gamecube titles? The Switch had a really strong start but in honesty this last year has been a bit disappointing to me, and it's only been amplified with the online bullshit. I feel like they've been using Smash Bros all year as a way to justify literally nothing else worthwhile coming out and people just eat it up because its Smash Bros. Yeah, it's great, but its felt like as far as first party goes, it's been just that. The port spam has almost been insulting too as a Wii U owner, it feels like half their new games are just games I've already played and they just ignore making actual new titles. Then to top it all off, no VC is kind of a middle finger to me. They've recently added NES games to justify purchasing Switch Online, but honestly? Who cares about NES games. Maybe I'd feel different for SNES/GCN titles, even 64 games, but really, NES games is it? The marketting of the Switch and actually getting 3rd party support is refreshing at least. The gimmick is cool too, and I'm glad there seems to at least be a future for it because of 2017. But in honesty, I feel like this last year has also been pretty lacking on first party games also. btw, I agree with you on The Wonderful 101. I don't like it as much as you it seems, but it was a really enjoyable experience that I've even recommended to other people. Baffling how it didn't sell more, it even got cut to $30. I'd probably buy it again if it were ported to Switch, and I haven't even been buying the ports outside of Mario Kart because I really love that series and wanted the new content. Splat2 and Smash aren't really ports, but I do get what you mean that they don't feel super super different. They are definitive versions though.

[@HyperCharge]

I've been really enjoying the Switch so far, but the whole online situation is definitely a huge blunder. If they don't introduce some more interesting titles for their online service, I think I'm just going to not pay for it. I don't mind Wii U ports that much, but that's mostly because the Switch has a lot of support from other companies this time around, so I've been pretty happy with the games so far. I think the whole "port/not port" discussion doesn't really matter that much, because really, Splatoon 2 and Smash Ultimate were designed to be the definitive versions of their respective Wii U titles. I mean, obviously, their both technically new games, but they also borrowed A LOT from their Wii U counterparts. They were all built up with the previous games as a foundation, so it sort of falls within this weird grey area depending on how much "new" stuff there is. I mean, the first Smash Bros direct just straight-up confirmed the entire roster of Smash 4 within the first five minutes, and besides Link and Zelda, the rest of the cast has some pretty minor tweaks and changes (in comparison to the changes between Smash 64>Melee>Brawl>Smash 4). It's definitely has a lot of new content, but it also more of the same.

A lot of Nintendo Land's games were actually pretty enjoyable. You could even unlock interactive statues and figures, which were placed in the central plaza area. But most of the fun comes from the multiplayer. Having to use the controller of another console in order to play with a friend was a little disappointing. Of course for people like me who already had a Wii, this wasn't too big of a deal. But if you didn't then you either had to go buy a Wii or be unable to play two player, which sort of kills about half the game. I list the Wii as a requirement because who the heck buys _one_ controller but not the console to go with it? Nintendo Land is the only game I've ever played that had two player functionality but only if you also owned the previous console. To be fair though, the chances of a person owning _two_ Wii U Gamepads just so they can play with a friend in a game that came out like the day before is pretty slim. It's more likely that they'd have a Wiimote.

[@TheMack625]

I think that I chose a good time to start watching your channel. I got some good laughs out of this video. Me? I actually enjoy the Wii U; I got it in 2014 with Mario Kart 8 and New Super Mario Bros. U to start. Super Smash Bros. is my favorite game on the system, even going as far as being my favorite Smash game. You did spend time slamming the heck out New Super Mario Bros. and a mini rant on Smash 4 near the end, but I found those more funny than offensive. Even with my bias for Wii U, I see the obvious issues. The marketing was terrible right out the gate. From a personal perspective, I noticed that Mario games in general -- while still fun -- had a notion of being a bit too safe and derivative. Some folks proclaim the 3DS / Wii U generation as the weakest point of the franchise. Now, this doesn't diminish my love for Super Mario 3D World or Smash 4, and I even got a kick out of Mario Party 10 and NSMBU, but I digress. Yeah...the Wii U is definitely not a great console when looking at the cold hard facts. Fortunately, I'm a bit of an "idiot Mario fan" and find enjoyment out of the system anyway. I also dig the colorful UIs and general lighthearted atmosphere of the Wii U. Entertaining stuff, HyperCharge!

Wind Waker HD could have added the two missing dungeons from the Gamecube version (Water Pearl dungeon and Sea Temple). That would have got my attention. But no.

[@HyperCharge]

I think the reason they didn't include new dungeons was because the mechanics that were initially intended for the Wind Waker were used in later Zelda games (ie. Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword).

[@shadowpheonix1751]

@@ianeons9278 your hatred against HyperCharge is a panic because you’re fully aware of the fact that he has an opinion that differs from your own and you feel threatened by that so you feel the need to give absurd comments about how everyone that hates the Wii U is a dirty fascist and that HyperCharge is the dictator leading them all. Like how immature do you have to be to say stuff like that?

Great video! I bought a Wii U a year after it came out. I had most of the games you went over.

[@PlayStation_5247]

What do you think about the Wii U's 3rd Party support like Ubisoft's Rayman Legends which was originally planned for release in 2012 as a Wii U exclusive but ended up getting delayed and being ported to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2013 and eventually to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2014 and now a "Definitive Edition" on the Nintendo Switch?

“Super Smash Bros is being ported over to the switch.” Ultimate isn’t a port though...

[@HyperCharge]

Sure, technically it's a new game with how much Sakurai and his team are putting into it, but it's pretty clear that Smash Bros for Wii U was heavily used as a foundation for Ultimate. It's sort of in line with all of the other ports (ie. bunching all the DLC together + some new content), but their definitely putting in a bunch of brand new stuff as well, so I think it falls in a sort of grey area. Really, the point I was trying to make was that Smash Bros for Wii U is completely irrelevant now, along with all of the other Wii U games that have been moved over to the switch.

"I've never seen a console get shafted as hard as the Wii U" Ahem Vita and DreamCast and possibly the GameCube got shafted just as much because they did half-assed ports just to be anti consumer and screw off customers with lack of new games. All of those consoles are underrated and great.

[@ThomastheDankEngine8900]

The DreamCast and GameCube weren’t anti-consumer. Mainly because the Saturn and N64 didn’t do too hot. They got blown the fuck out of the water by the PlayStation.

[@DocTime56]

The main difference is that the DreamCast and GameCube got fucked by the PS2, which was a monster, not even the DS could outsell it, and that thing had like 3 revisions. Those were completely different situation, both DreamCast and GameCube had good games, some of which were only playable in said consoles, for YEARS. IIRC, not even the vita was treated as badly as the Wii U, at least the vita had its share of games appealing to the japanese market

[@ianeons9278]

@@DocTime56 The GameCube is unfortunately so shafted they won’t even rerelease it’s games on the Virtual Console or Switch Online. The DreamCast had its games ported pretty much right when the Xbox & GCN came out. But that doesn’t stop the Dreamcast from being great. The Vita was also shafted because its games were ported to PS3 and PS4 as Sony dropped the handheld market. But once again the Vita is also underrated. All 4 (Wii U, Vita, GameCube, Dreamcast) of these consoles are extremely underrated.

[@kirbytheartist3318]

You might have answer this in your Twitter but what did you think of the New Switch online service?

[@HyperCharge]

Holy Shit! It's fucking AWFUL! The incentives for the service are incredibly weak and Nintendo is essentially shaking people down for 20$ in order to continue to play games online. The inclusion of the NES games is laughably worthless, where as the cloud saving feature should be a free feature. Of course, it's a pretty good price for a year, but the only reason their doing that is because they know their service is absolute shit. If it included some more virtual console stuff, like SNES/N64/Gamecube games, that would be pretty good, but currently, it's basically just a fucking scam.

[@kirbytheartist3318]

@@HyperCharge I did heard that there thinking about including SNES games soon, it's not guarantee to happen but it's worth bringing up.

[@HyperCharge]

You know, when they were talking about the service in the latest Nintendo direct, they mentioned a "Special Bonus" later down the line, and I think that will most likely include something along the lines of a virtual console experience. Maybe access to x amount of games per month, or something like that. At least, that's what I'm HOPING for.

[@kirbytheartist3318]

@@HyperCharge Yeah there gonna add new games every month, atleast that what they are planning on doing.

Great video, but no mention of Xenoblade Chronicles X and Tokyo Mirage Sessions? To a lesser extent, Nintendo also released NES Remix Pack and finally brought Earthbound and Earthbound Beginnings to vc.

[@HyperCharge]

Oh God, I legitimately forgot that Xenoblade Chronicles X and Tokyo Mirage Sessions came out. I heard good things, but those games were completely off my radar when they came out. I was thinking about mentioning the NES Remix Pack, but I think I would have just repeated the points I made with the other games (not driving enough interest in the console, ect.) You know, Earthbound was pretty cool, but I guess I never really understood the hype, because anyone who cared that much about Earthbound would have already played it off an emulator or something.

And we are stuck with the Wii U until Nintendo makes a new console LIKE THE NINTENDO SWITCH MINI OR XL!!! So for all the people who hate the Wii U, GameCube, N64 and the virtual boy. You Might as well hate Nintendo because those console are freaking great (not the virtual boy that thing sucked). I can not spell

The one thing the Wii U excelled at that I can't deny is that it has an extremely large backlog of virtual console games and some great first party games later down the road. Still, those first couple of years of the Wii U prior to like 2014 were absolutely miserable.
