[@AxeIRad]

The Wii U HAD unique games, but then they ported those games to the 3DS, aside from Smash which was on both consoles from the beginning. You said it kind of backwards

[@uknownada]

But still a lot of games on Wii U were still repetitive releases to an average consumer, plus if they the average consumer didn't know which game was released first, they probably would more likely go for the more popular 3DS. What's the difference between Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World? Well my grandson has a DS, so I'll get him Land. Even if a "hardcore" gamer knew about the releases, they probably would still turn down the Wii U because not a lot of games on it are very interesting or unique. The best one it has is Splatoon, but I have a hard time thinking of another super unique game it has.

[@Loopyboy447]

What he meant is that most of the Wii U games(from Nintendo) were either similar to their handheld incarnations/predecessors(i.e. New Super Mario Bros 2/U, Mario Tennis Ultra Smash/Open, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse/Canvas Curse) or were later ported to the 3ds(Hyrule Warriors, NES remix, Mario Maker, Yoshi’s Wooly World). There is even another category of Wii U games being ported to the switch(Mario Kart 8, Pokken) and no doubt we’re going to see a few more later on.

They could have honestly just called it the Super Wii and branded it that way, and likely sold a lot more units as a result. I don’t even remember there being a lot of marketing or advertising for the console, but it doesn’t even surprise me that a lot of people thought it was just a new controller or add-on for the Wii considering how Nintendo named things during the Wii era. Personally, I felt as though the Wii U did have its fair share of good first party games, like Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros. and Super Mario 3D World. That being said, I think I have to admit that it was very similar to the Wii, and overall it didn’t even really feel like a new console in its own right - unlike the Switch.

In hindsight, I think the Gamepad itself was the main thing that doomed the WII U in the long run. Not only was it the main reason Nintendo refused to drop the console's price due to its overly-ambitious design (not even the Switch joycons have as much tech packed into them as the Gamepad did), but it was also one of the main reasons why 3rd party AAA developers had difficulty porting their Xbox 360 and PS3 games to it (simply put, the "Off-TV Play" feature took up a good amount of GPU and RAM resources, of which there were barely any more than they had on the Xbox 360 and PS3 to begin with). On top of all that, the fact that Nintendo focused more on it than they did the console itself or any of its games during its first few months made the general public think that the Wii U, in general, was an addon for the *original* Wii rather than a whole new console.

I bought and hacked one, its a great homebrew console

And now WiI U’s cost $350+ on amazon. I thought since they’ve been discontinued, I could find one for cheap. Maybe if I go to a nearby Gamestop, they might have some for a low price. Lol

For some reason they never used the accessory connector on the bottom of the gamepad.

[@knojangles]

Cap673 i always wondered what that was.

[@cap6733]

gamingnerd37 I'm talking about the accessory connector, not the metal prongs that conduct electriity to charge the battery. Here's a video of someone who found the same type of plug but for a different device so you know what I'm talking about. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3O9aoqYYsemY5o

[@phanominon]

Marketing was the fail. It's an awesome console once you know what controllers it actually needs. Also it would have been a good idea to label it as a different console. It was hard to tell if this was just a slightly better Wii or something totally different. I was slow to get one and now it's one of our most played consoles, well prior to the switch.

[@therealmariofan]

Scott literally predicted all the games that were going to get ported to the switch or get sequels.

[@AliTahan25]

Yeah he kinda did, but it was pretty obvious and a no brainer, and everyone predicted it

[@_konkydong97_66]

One thing I really like about the Wii U where some of its games. They were very fun. Like, Mario Kart 8, Super Mario Maker, DKC: Tropical Freeze, Pikman 3, and Sm4sh.

[@tyreimalacros9717]

I like how Scott started as a very controlled fan but you can start seeing glimpses of his newer jokes and way of talking. That is cool.

[@spadspaph9229]

[@christopherquintanilla6572]

Getting a wii u finally to mod the hell out of, seems like the ultimate emulator machine

[@Deadsea_1993]

I prefer my modded Wii with GameCube, Wii, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and GBA on it. GameCube ports are easy to deal with and there's no need for special adaptors. I also use an HDMI converter. Wii U was the only Nintendo console I've ever owned, disliked, and sold. It had some pretty amazing games and I'm glad that they were ported over to Switch.

[@leonpaelinck]

yeah, playing gamecube and wii games on the gamepad seems nice

[@Joey_JcM]

I like "Wii didn't capitalize on a craze, it STARTED A CRAZE." Great line! ;D And great vid!

[@OfficialBabygirlEnterprises]

I've been bringing your vids and let's just say. You've come a long way proud of you

[@madasylum1]

Wii U was a failure, but I loved it for its exclusives. Thing was a great ice breaker for meeting girls and new bros in a college dorm. Literally. Would have it up playing Mario Party, Smash, Mario Kart, Mario 3D World in the lounge and people were free to join in and play. I can't say the same thing for any other system to be that communal. MAYBE the Switch, but so many people have their own now that it's whatever.

[@Dark-xv9iz]

The WII U didn’t fail... We and Nintendo failed it. Nintendo failed to market it properly and give it an actual name while we didn’t even look up to see if it was an actual console and not just an add on

[@TheCheat420]

Any time Poochy isn't on screen Yoshi should be asking "Where's Poochy?".

[@GoldenTreesMC]

You need the gamepad to do a manditory random start-up update check. Bricked my wii u for a few weeks one time.

[@DarkWorldQ8]

I remember when the Wii U was announced I thought "That's a cool controller for the Wii". 1 year later, I found out that it was a new console. That's coming from someone who was very interested in gaming news back in the day.

[@Deadsea_1993]

I'm an odd one. Nintendo Wii is my favorite Nintendo console of all time. I feel it had the best first party Nintendo support. Not to mention I believe that the Mario Galaxy games are the best Mario games. All but one Nintendo console I've loved and kept. Wii U is the only Nintendo console I've ever owned and sold and still don't regret it. Scott is spot on here as usual and props to him for making this video as anything ill spoken about Nintendo usually follows with dislikes and people unsubbing. I hated the Fisher Price toy like controller that looked and felt like one. The dual image of the controller was really annoying, especially on Netflix. The games were fun, but they play so much better on Switch. Long waits for first party Nintendo games and some were fairly bad. Paper Mario:Color Splash, Kirby And The Rainbow Curse, Mario Party 10, and StarFox:Zero are four examples. Mario Maker didn't have a story mode, but the 3DS version did. So yeah Nintendo were dividing their own fan base. They dropped Wii U support quickly and concentrated on the 3DS instead with stuff like Monster Hunter 4 and Story of Seasons. I love my Switch almost as much as Wii.

[@sepsisbaby2676]

I was 8 when the Wii U out. I remember looking at it on the shelf and thinking “I sold my Wii so I can play this unless I have one right?”

[@patrickwdoyle]

It's so hilarious that Nintendo is basically just going to re-release every single Wii U game this video criticizes for being too similar to 3DS games and keep charging $299 for the Nintendo Switch with no price cut. #2020hindsight
