[@RetroBreak]

Hope everyone enjoyed the episode! If you want to see more Wii game recommendations, check out last weeks video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKWkln2Fesyonsk Sorry if there's any audio glitches, I had a lot of trouble with the editing for this one.... Hopefully all will be fixed next week! Let me know your hidden gems in the comments!

[@matheuskerniski8755]

Just ressurected my Wii after twelve years and it's really amazing finding a video uploaded today with my same search. Feels like nothing changed. Thanks for the tips, bro!

[@samuzamu]

You're one of the best retro gaming channels on KZbin IMO. Criminally underrated

[@lordeowstheking]

Criminally underrated 😂 the hell are you talking about? Comment is 2 years old still dumb as hell

[@cowledclown1323]

Great channel, thank you for being around

[@IndohNintendo]

Muramasa has some of the very best parallax scrolling I've EVER seen. It's an example of just how beautiful and mesmerizing the technique can be.

[@RetroBreak]

It does look really nice!

[@digitalclown2008]

This was an AMAZING list. I learned of at least 3 games i will be checking out tonight. THANK YOU!!!

[@projectmayhem162]

Deadly Creatures is a real nice game. Had a lot of fun back than :)

[@SecondOpinionGames1]

Not bad. How about a collaboration. On your favorite WiiU game

[@Agast]

Great video! Cursed mountain is a great game, I am glad you covered this game on the video

[@Noble_Isaac]

The cases look really clean. I like people who take care of their games! 😍

[@montevideokfish0232]

This channel really shows me games I didn't know about. I love it..

[@JeremyPatton]

I think what was probably more difficult was actually finding the games in your stacks!! 😮

[@PixusPanic]

I was seriously hoping de Blob or de Blob 2 would be on there but even without them, this is a fantastic video.

[@darthboxOriginal]

Great video. Lots I didn't know about, but I can vouch for Cursed Mountain and Deadly Creatures. I also like Geometry Wars, but i feel it's best with a friend.

[@RetroBreak]

Glad I could introduce you to some new games then! :D

[@interghost]

Deadly Creatures and Tornado look like really interesting titles! I think I may have to get those two! I have loads of great games on the Wii. I might have to make a similar video at some point lol. Great stuff mate.

[@PoohbearPlus]

I do own both of those games along with Cursed Mountain. He is right, they are fun, especially Tornado.

[@JeremyPatton]

A Shadows Tale is called Lost In Shadow in the US. It‘s a great game.

[@NYX6ECLIPSE]

omg dewys adventure has been a favorite since childhood ❤

[@ratto9508]

The absolute size of the Wii game pile behind you... Incredible. I'm jealous!!!

[@dogeymon83]

The Wiiware eshop being gone doesn’t matter. With a simple mod to your Wii, you can download all those games for free now. You should mention that so more people know those games are not gone forever. :) They’re archived now.

[@DGR_Dave]

Great content, love seeing you feature games that most of these style of videos don't! Looking forward to seeing more ☺️ A personal Wii game that I enjoyed that doesn't get talked about very much is "The Munchables". It's like a bargain bin version of Katamari, but it's colorful, fun, and charming

[@RetroBreak]

Thanks! I did a follow up to this video which did include the munchables :)

[@DGR_Dave]

@@RetroBreak can't wait to watch! I'm slowly working through all your videos, just watched and commented on your Top 10 video 😂

[@Mr.Foxhat]

One of the best hidden gems on Wii that I shall forever sing praises towards is Conduit 2. The Conduit was definitely a very generic shooter when it came out, and quite repetitive. High Voltage Software definitely showed their prowess in game development with the sequel, bringing far better level design, plot, replayability, gunplay, weapon variety, multiplayer, and modes. Artistically it is a large jump from the first game and really pushed the Wii to the limit. Easily the best first person shooter on Wii unless we count Metroid Prime 3. Definitely a hidden gem and Top 10 game for me.

[@rodrigohonorio]

Thumbs up before the video starts because of the time stamps on the description! Now I will start to watch!

[@sebastiancuicatl8305]

had no idea Need for Speed Nitro was built for the Wii, it reminds me of Ridge Racer :D

[@Mikethecoolguy]

First impression of this dude: unpretentious and I’ll probably watch this channel a lot

[@djastro3952]

They're Really Popular but if you haven't played them, they worth mentioning: these are my personal favorites -Pokepark:Pikachu's Adventure -Red Steel -MySims -Sonic Unleashed -Spiderman Shattered Dimensions -Cars Mater-National Championship -Ben 10 Protector Of Earth -Wii Music -Super Smash Bros Brawl -Mario Kart Wii -Lego Batman 2:DC Superheroes

[@hans-sniekers-art]

I honestly think you deserve a lot more love and attention for your videos, they are so fantastic and honestly such a high quality! Apart from that, any video you do seems so full of motivation and passion from your side as well c: Just amazing overall!

[@RetroBreak]

Thank you! That’s very kind of you to tell me :) I’ve been making good progress recently! :D

[@BNFproductions]

Just played mario sports mix yesterday- I love that game! :)

[@CoryCDS]

Pandora’s tower is now $100 on ebay, wish i had seen it earlier, looks like a grand game

[@jcee]

Thanks a lot for the recommendations! Will check them out!You're a very good presenter too, not annoying like the other ones.

[@SilverMongooseVideos]

Really enjoy your enthusiasm and vibe. You've gained a subscriber 👍

[@johndee759]

Thank you for making this video.

[@trayahzz537]

Nitro is awesome!! I enjoyed The Run

[@yusofplayed]

This is an amazing channel. When you talk about hidden you really mean it unlike most channels, not just recommending like... games most serious game fans already know about. Subbed!

[@RetroBreak]

Thanks! I love talking about more obscure games! :D hope you enjoy my other videos too!

[@user-cd7eu4wt9g]

I haven't started watching this video yet but right now I'm rockin some Ghost squad on my wii . $5 at the local retro store

[@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial]

I picked up SNF Nitro right before GameStop stopped stocking wii games. Glad I did, good list!

[@johnythefox100]

The biggest problem with the Wii is that you really had to search out videos like this which weren't really around when the Wii was out. All the great games were burried under mountains of shovelware.

[@SoftOtaku]

Loving your channel. You know stuff. Glad I found it and glad to see it growing. Well-deserved.

[@bjornh1527]

Superb list, several interesting ones I’ve never even heard of! And I overlooked Dewy’s Adventure, it looks like fun!

[@sneshead3326]

I’m just getting back into the Wii great video

[@RetroBreak]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@RetroAFCNicØ]

So often with these video strike nerve and I love the look of a particular game only to discover that it now goes for £100+. Thankfully Murumasa The Demon Blade which tickled my fancy looks to still be a sort of sensible £40. Thats getting bought

[@WiiMusicBooster]

I get the anger that can come with Shaun White Snowboarding’s E3 presentation. My favorite game of all time is Wii Music, but due to its E3 presentation, people treat the game horribly and with zero respect, when the game deserves far more respect due to how it’s been able to enhance lots of people’s musical skills, myself included. I hope that at some point, Wii Music can get the proper respect it deserves, but I fear that the E3 presentation mixed with poorly made reviews by people who don’t know what they’re talking about will make that an impossibility.

[@SNKBossSyndrom]

Ah, Muramasa 😍 That (plus the announcement of Real Bout Special on the Wii Virtual Console) was the reason why I bought the console.

[@Poopoocachew]

Awesome list bro gonna pick up a couple of these

[@Quaker242]

Interesting list. Cursed Mountain begins very good and exciting, but just the first "75%", the end is crap and I couldn't finish the game. One game I really enjoyed was Bit Trip Runner. And the Second Version was also very good, played this on the PC. Muramasa, a shadows tale and ivi the kiwi I would like to catch up - but very hard to get or too expensive. :( Also good is "zack & wiki" which is my latest acquisition. :)

[@ee_li]

Thanks!

[@andrewt6338]

I liked the Munchables. It's sort of Pac man crossed with Katamari. There were tons of great Wii games. I especially liked the flying games.

[@sussudio4384]

Thanks from France man!!!!!!

[@budy0da292]

Thanks for letting me know about geometry wars on Wii

[@ls28harry]

Thank you.

[@joshmcgootermier2301]

Knew the blue case the second I saw it. Great video.

[@counterrell35]

Great hidden gems!!!! I have been playing blast works all week!!!

[@whatamalike]

Totally with you on eledees! Though i never finished it because it got rather tiresome towards the end, that was one early wii game that really took advantage of the wiimote's capabilities.

[@timeforgamesYT]

Thank you for this video! As a new Wii owner building a mini collection of games, I really appreciate these compilations of lesser know titles. From what I saw, most of them are also excellent for people on a budget, except Pandora's Tower, Bit.Trip Complete, Rodea the Sky Soldier and A Shadow Tale, which I found for princes ranging from 123 to 425 €. 😲

[@RetroBreak]

Wow I didn’t know the prices for those had gone up so much!! Hope you can get some of the other on this list and my other wii videos before the prices go up on them too!

[@johnythefox100]

A lot of that is speculators chancing their arm and trying to overinflate the vaue of the games. Those peices will come down to something more reasonable onve they realize that nobodies biting.

[@metae.4256]

Obligatory Eledees nutz! HAR HAR HAR!!!

[@thewhitepanther6052]

Have you played Disaster day of crisis? Quite rare,fun and interesting game

[@StewiesRetroGaming]

Evening Nick buddy. Some really nice looking non mainstream choices here and will be grabbing a few for sure. I really want that creature one ever since me bud Jason done the review ages ago. Thanks for putting this together and looking forward to next weeks vid 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😃👍👌

[@grenademan8123]

YES YES YES! I have bit trip complete, and I used to SIMP on those games. I have Saga on 3DS and the individual ports on Switch, and they are pieces of Gaming GOLD. Thank you for viewing this undderated gem.

[@RetroBreak]

Does the 3DS one have different games on compared to the wii? I always thought it was the same collection.

[@randomperson3629]

I think the 3ds one has the same games in 3d but the wii version has additional challenges

[@grenademan8123]

@@RetroBreak The 3ds has a few graphical downgrades, but some new UI on the touchscreen, and doesnt have the extras. It only contains the normal games, and touch controls.

Some unfortunate audio pops in this video. Happens twice in the NFS: nitro segment. :( Really good video though! Love learning about new experiences that I missed.

I had so much trouble editing this one! This was the 5th time I exported it, then tried to remove as many as I could. Think there's something wrong with my microphone :( Hopefully I can find a fix by next week!

​@@RetroBreakI didn't notice

[@williamlowe8734]

A Wii game I really enjoyed, that got little to no attention, is Mushroom Men The Spore Wars. Came out towards the beginning of the Wii's life cycle and IMO is definitely a hidden gem.

[@zedzod9197]

Muramasa, great game (maybe top 3 for me on Wii) but not hidden gem.

[@RetroBreak]

How do you define what a hidden gem is?

[@zedzod9197]

@@RetroBreak I think if a game is in any top 20 Wii list you can find on internet, is not a hidden gem. I'd suggest Batman the Brave and the Bold instead.

[@RetroBreak]

@@zedzod9197 I don't think you can call Batman a hidden gem, it's from a very popular franchise, and that game appears in Metacritics Top rated Batman games list

[@zedzod9197]

@@RetroBreak A 2d game of an animated tv series is the paradigm of a game from which people would not expect anything. Even for Batman. There is a long list of mediocre games based on well-known franchises from other media. And there are games like Wolverine on PS3 and X360 that are considered a hidden gem on those systems, despite being based on such a well-known character. So Batman the Brave and the Bold can be considered a hidden gem because it is not a game that usually appears in the console tops. Obviously it is into the Metacritic list you mention because it's a good game. If your opinion about what is a hidden gem is different, it seems respectable to me, but a game like Muramasa, which is in all the tops of the console, should never be considered a hidden gem. I hope you didn't take my comment as criticism of yourself. That was not my intention.

[@wbakanga3366]

NFS:UNDECOVER is also a good game

[@dontegraves5051]

Bit Trip was always such a solid compilation on Wii. Honestly, Dewy's Adventure on the other hand....is a lousy game with awful controls that *actively* work against the player. It doesn't matter how cute or charming the games premise is and it didn't matter to Konami how much money they made of whoring Dewy out to Aquapods...the game is completely hindered by its pitiful attempt at motion movement and there's simply no way to get past this. At times, the game feels flat out broken, almost as bad as Major Minor. Dewy's Adventure is one Wii game that no one should really ever give the time of day. I wish I never had.

[@RetroBreak]

Yeah the controls are a bit delayed compared to how the player moves but it’s still a cute and fun game

[@lugisky385]

Well i didn’t had any problems with this game i love this game so much it’s so sad that no body knows about this game it’s so cute and everything in this game are really amazing and cute ∩^ω^∩

Recently they dropped their ps3 and xb360 prices significantly. On ebay the wii is around 20 and the ps3 50. This gamestore is definitly cheaper, i would have to go there, to see if they still have it. Would you be interested? (i go anyway, and all the time😁👍) picked up soul reaver for the ps2 last time
