What Happens When you play a Wii game on the Nintendo Wii U

This video shows what happens when you play a Wii game on the Wii U

[@21minute]

I expected the backwards compatibility, but I didn't expect Wii menu/home page. That's pretty cool. It's like emulating the previous gen or something.

[@staidey5994]

It’s a full Wii’s OS emulation, technically a WII with HDMI. Wii games actually do look better on WiiU than Wii.

[@ToyotaTacomaOfficial]

Yeah

[@doge7831]

It’s not emulation, it’s more like thats there is a wii inside your wii u.

[@victorius2975]

@@staidey5994 there's no actual emulation it was just built from the ground up to support the wii

[@zabtronics]

It's not emulation, there's literally a Wii CPU along with the Wii u CPU Inside the console

[@cefirodewinter9086]

I bought mine two weeks ago and 0 regrets, I also wanted to play wii u hd zelda remakes, btw the gamepad is awesome, it even can be used as a tv controller, now I don't have to search where it is before siting in my sofa, the only problem imo is the battery life, but hey charging it is also easy. But its the perfect console for someone like me who never had a Wii back then, and now I have the chance to play all those good games I've missed... Zelda Skyward Sword here I go, (also they are so cheap, I bought mine with all the cables and two games for the same price of 2 new switch games)

[@ThatGuyLegend]

Πανος Πεδης shouldn't you buy the Wii to save money?

[@douggibson4834]

we bought one hoping to not have to buy another switch (which we did anyhow) and I think I was more excited about some of the games, and for how much cheaper the games were, than the kids were.

I didn't since I didn't buy a Wii U. I still think that it's a cool feature that the switch should of had.

[@RepublicofFoigWerg]

@@Noah-hx9oi The Switch made new versions of Wii U games, but they still should've had Wii U games on the eShop. Or maybe modify the dock to play Wii U games. You wouldn't be able to play Wii U games on the go though, because the discs' diameters are longer than the Switch in portable mode's length, So they wouldn't fit. The Switch probably would've been able to play Gamecube games though.

[@SonGayku]

So the Wii U ( apart from storage, library, and some small issues ) had the potential to be Nintendo's best selling console ( for it's time ) if it wasn't for it's horrible advertising and how quickly after the wii it was released

Much like Gohan, had immense potential but was a disappointment to all.

@@MartinKincl1993 it was considering since the Wii sold so great, six years later everyone still had one and didn't really have a need to get a Wii u. the higher quality wasn't worth upgrading, especially since the Wii was marketed towards families and older people who would be less likely to go through the hassle of buying one when they had a perfectly good Wii.

Ok, so last Saturday, on October 8, I went to a birthday party, which had a game truck. I brought my copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii along with me and played the game on a Wii console outside the truck, and inside, I inserted the disc into a Wii U and played the game on it. I chose to play on both the TV and the GamePad. I was able to try out the Wii U's backward compatibility with Wii software for the first time. I also found out what the TV button on the GamePad does. Really wish I had this console.
