WiiU eShop Games to PICKUP Before the Store Closes!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

What WiiU games would you recommend picking up?

[@joshernsteen2066]

Klonoan Empire of Dreams for the virtual console on the Nintendo Wii U. I believe that they even made it already compatible with an external gamepad as they were originally designing it as well. I am familiar with it only by name, and have absolutely no idea how much the physical game copy will cost. Also according to the January 2009 issue of Nintendo Power Yoshizawa stated "When Klonoa was originally created, it was designed as a game that could appeal to a wide range of fans, both younger players and adults."

[@joshernsteen2066]

Also in the March 2012 issue of Nintendo Power "Speaking of Nintendo's next console. WII U will support personal accounts with the Nintendo Network, allowing family members to have separate accounts on a single system, for instance. It is a shame that the public was never told this in advance otherwise the Wii U might have had a completely different fate.

[@joshernsteen2066]

Also mentioned in May 2011 of Nintendo Power it states "Each time you tag the same Mii characterz it gains a level in Find Mii (with level 7 being the max) and its attacks and spells become stronger." "Progessing through all of the stages in Find Mii earns you up to 16 hats that can be worn in StreetPass Mii Plaza and that will appear on your Mii when it visits anyone you've tagged. The mode must be completed twice to get all of the hats." "Hired heroes can get you through the first half of find Mii, but they deal barely any damage to the ghosts in later stages." "Most folks should easily be able to fit In the 1,000 steps needed to earn the daily maximum of 10 play coins." This statement might not be as relevant in today's standard of living as it was back then.

[@joshernsteen2066]

According to the August 2012 article of Nintendo Power "You'll find it exclusively as a download, at a price thar Havarinen believes "will make fans happy". Try hunting down the article yourself for more information regarding the game. I only have it because I was ordering the magazine from them during the time period. I am talking about Trine 2 : Director's Cut here for the Nintendo Wii U.

That thumbnail drew me in. Character looks dope lol

[@user-li8sr9zo9l]

Someone mentioning Pandora's Tower!? God that game is an absolute hidden gem.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

That's awesome! Glad another fan is watching!

[@TimBartja]

A note about Affordable Space Adventures: I would moreso describe it as a game with good coop multiplayer than a party game exactly. I've actually only played it single player, and highly recommend it. There's a lot of creepy atmospheric story telling, and one of the best uses of the gamepad I experienced in the cycle :) Loved the chat, gents!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

This is excellent to hear! Thanks so much for clearing it up. I’m psyched to hear you enjoyed it single player as well

[@TimBartja]

My list of games I recommend before the closer that aren't included here: - Sonic Lost World (yeah, it's also on PC, but Wii U version has a Zelda and Yoshi themed level. Absolutely not perfect, but a pretty fun take on 3D Sonic with some interesting ideas) - Tekken Tag Tournament Wii U edition (again, available elsewhere, but has exclusive modes and Nintendo costumes) - Project Guard (50% off if you own StarFox Zero - which isn't quite as bad as people make it to be, but has a definite learning curve; a fun take on tower defence that makes great advantage of the gamepad) - Mario Advance 4 (aka Super Mario 3; yes, it's on the NSO, but this version comes with all the e-reader levels. This was nearly impossible to get even in its day)

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

These are fantastic! Thanks a ton for sharing these. I'm gonna check out Project Guard. Thanks again!

[@joshernsteen2066]

There is also demo for Star Fox Zero titled Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins + Training. The game email confirmation does not sent to your email account that you have on file. I have heard about it even before the game was even released somehow through a trusted source of information.

[@Incredible1s]

the Wii U is probably the only console I never got a chance to play. the metroid prime trilogy is pretty sweet. great video brother.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I know I was really late to the party as well. Thanks for watching dude!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Great recommendation!

[@DanofWar101]

Nice list! I didn't know that the Batman game was that different compared to the other console versions! I will have to check it out! That D&D game is awesome! I've played it on yhe Saturn way back as an import! And on sake at 3$? That's a no brainer! Great video and keep up the good work!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks so much! Yeah D&D is so friggin cool and that's wild you got to play it as an import for the Saturn! How freaking cool. The Saturn was such a unique system. I wish I had kept mine so bad now.

[@DanofWar101]

@@HallowedBeThyGame I have the Skeketon "This is Cool" Japanese Saturn and I had it modded by Rocker Gaming on KZbin with all the bells and whistles but that was almost 5 years ago when his channel was still relatively small compared to now! It even has some LED lights in the console and controller since it's a smoke Grey see through color! I can play any regions and I can also play burned discs in it! It's my prize possession as far as consoles go on my collection!

[@michaelSlick50]

Affordable Space Adventures... I didn't know there was DLC!! I'll check that out. It is a wonderful game. Every time my ship 'pops' it is sooo funny. Then you get to try again. (We won't forget it when it goes away).

[@ShawnMcNaughton]

A couple of these are available on Steam - Batman Arkham Origins, and more importantly, D&D: Shadow over Mystara as part of a two-pack called Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara. That includes a 2nd Capcom D&D beat 'em up, D&D Tower of Doom. While $15 at regular price, it's still worth it - and to encourage multiplayer, they sell a 4-pack for the price of 3 ($45) that has giftable copies for friends.

[@Food4Dogs]

Pandora's Tower. Amazing game. 👍

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

It really is, love it so much!

[@viddysgamingviddyos4710]

I already have the MP Trilogy, mostly because physical ones of that are just crazy hard to find...or something. Most of the other ones I haven't necessarily heard of, though NES Remixes Let's Plays were kinda cool.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

That’s awesome! Yeah the NES Remixes are so cool. Thanks for watching!

[@ghost245353]

NES Remix 1&2 also got packaged for physical release on Wii U.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

That's great to know, thanks for sharing!

[@selph8278]

thank you for announcing metroid prime remaster early

[@michaelSlick50]

I've been thinking about Pandora's Tower - you may have just pushed me over the edge :) - thanks guys!

[@SimonStevens87]

I'd highly recommend metroid prime trilogy even if there's a remaster in the pipes, it's cheap anyway and I don't think the switch will be able to accurately replicate the control scheme and I believe the pointer controls are a superior control scheme for the metroid games and just fps games in general.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

That's a really good point. It's kinda the same deal with me and the 3DS. Even if the titles are ported the unique experience will never be the same

[@Ty-douken]

Thanks for reminding me I need to repurchase a Wii U, I've still got my game collection but wish my eshop purchases were tied to an account vs the system back in the day. I don't remember if the D&D beat em up you mentioned is the game I've played on the Saturn before, but if not then there's another Capcom D&D beat em up to try. Couldn't say the whole name of the game (though it's on the Capcom beaten up bundle) as we all call it "Take these snakes" as one of the characters says "Sticks to snakes" & we misheard it.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Haha that's awesome! Happy to help and I have to say that I am almost always finding out the real lyrics to songs lol. And with my brain once I say something the wrong way it takes me forever to stop saying that.

[@Ty-douken]

@@HallowedBeThyGame I think the best thing we did was for my buddies bday we got a "take this cake" cake made with that written on it. That's how you do a birthday, lol.

Good list. I didn't know pandoras tower was on the win u shop. I'll have to check it out.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

It’s so unique! Hope you enjoy!

[@aceassn716]

Kickbeat Great concept action/rhythm style Even better soundtrack

[@michaelSlick50]

Metroid Prime Trilogy - oh yeah. All are in widescreen - and all have amazingly accurate motion controls via the infrared pointer, which I will say, I feel is better than the motion controls in something like Doom on the Switch. The motion controls make you feel like you are IN the game, because if you turn to the side, Samus turns to the side. It will be hard for Nintendo to do the motion controls better using gyro, but I'm sure they are hard at work to make it a seamless process.

[@Sly88Frye]

Interesting list but how is it you didn't include Super Mario advance 4? Super Mario advance 4 is a Game boy advance Port of Super Mario Bros 3, but the difference is there are a bunch of additional levels that were not in the original Super Mario Bros 3. By the way the graphics are on the style of Super Mario All-Stars Super Mario Bros 3 the SNES version. In Super Mario advance 4 these extra levels you had to unlock with these cards that you had to buy and a card reader that you would plug into the gba, however on this Wii U eShop version all of those levels are unlocked right from the get-go so you don't have to buy anything else you just get the game and you get all the extra levels. I actually have not played it yet but it has a lot to do with the fact that since I've moved I only took my switch and my laptop with me and of course my flat screen TV when it comes to my electronics and I did not take any of my other gaming consoles with me, but if I'm not in need of selling my Wii U due to a kind of a problematic financial situation right now, I would download Super Mario advance 4 in a heartbeat just so I would not miss out on those extra levels that are otherwise not available.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Great information and recommendation. Thanks for sharing!

[@joshernsteen2066]

There is ways to get honest money added to your bank account via the usage of certain android apps. There is even a few of them that work on old phone models. They still function perfectly fine years later on as well with no problems. They have definitely been around a while, and you definitely could have them installed on yout phone prior to moving. There was also one that I assume is still around, that operates very similar to another app that I have installed that is honestly 1,000,000 clicks plus daily log in clicks only. Using the multiplier and auto click buttons made you not get the money. There is also a slight catch in that you cannot use a different access point when clicking on the application to do it, you will immediately forfeit the money that earned. Also intentionally restarting your phone also voids the terms and conditions as well. It does honestly pay out though. The app also displays the terms and conditions inside of the app itself, but I did not fully believe them at first myself. I want to say something now to hopefully avoid the money from bouncing back in the account. I knew that the money did not come on since I was was a few weeks at least and nothing changed.

[@SEGAblocks]

You an Danik nailed it right on the head here! Affordable space adventures tickled my spidey senses! Looks fantastic! Sorta reminds me of Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime. If you haven’t checked that one out I highly highly recommend it! Great picks! Thanks for sharing! 🤘🙏❤️

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Woh thanks for recommending that! I need to check it out. Sounds really cool and thanks so much for watching man!

[@Chronoflation]

Thank you for recommending Pandora's Tower. That is one of my favorite games of all time. It's like Sharow of the Collasus that shrinks the size of the Collosi in exchange for giving each one a unique dungeon with some RPG mechanics that have some intense challenges and also a Pikmin-like time limit for being inside the dungeons, that is rechargeable based on how well you utilize the mechanics of fighting enemies. That said, I got Wii Sports Club and outside of the online option that's no longer available, it's just a toned down Wii Sports. Tennis doesn't even use the tennis points (0-15, 0-30, etc). It treats each play as a game and the first to 7 by 2 wins the set. I prefer playing it the long way. It doesn't feel like tennis when it's this shortened version. Haven't played all the rest yet, but Tennis killed my buzz a bit

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

That's good to know thanks for sharing that about Wii Sports Club. Also happy to see another Pandora's Tower fan.

[@brucefields7009]

I have yet to play Pandora's Tower, but I recently beat Shadow of the Colossus, and it's one of my favorite games of all time. Seeing you make a comparison like that makes me all the more excited to play Pandora's Tower! Ironically, I bought Pandora's Tower off the eShop based off of a Wii Hidden Gems video I saw last year, but haven't gotten around to playing it.

[@Chronoflation]

@@brucefields7009 I'm not gonna say it's as good or as polished as Shadow of the Collosus, but it reminded me of it. I only ever played about 1/3 or maybe half of SoC, but it gave me similar vibes (I only didn't finish it cause I moved and got a new TV that my PS2 is painful to play on. I need to get a classic CRT one day)

[@joshernsteen2066]

Nintendo made certain that Twilight Princess and Windwaker HD were available physically so that people could still get it to play later after eventually when it could.ho longer be downloaded digitally anymore. It was talked about during the original development of the games while they were still getting made.

[@joshernsteen2066]

They also made a video on the Nintendo website detailing exactly what the amiboo do in the Twilight Princess HD game that they also put on the Nintendo Wii U Eshop for easoer access. There also only so much total amount of heart pieces to pick up before you HAVE TO challenge the boss of the snow temple. I do not think youg kids should watch the fight considering it is quite different in a more scary way than the other fights in the game. They already programmed the game to even say what weapon you need to proceed in the cave of ordeals the first time around when they first made the game as well. You do infact need to progress through the game enough to have COMPLETELY ALL OF THE REQUIRED WEAPONS in order to fully finish the cave of ordeals as well. I believe that they even designed the floor making the only option to proceed in the cave of ordeals only by using the required weapons as well.

[@Evixyn]

Majority of those games you mentioned I have no interest in. I have doctor Luigi and Metroid prime collection and only played both titles for an hour and never touched it again.

[@MultiJamesman]

The secret ingredient is homebrew.

[@tylorian5168]

I’m genuinely surprised that there aren’t any Wii U eShop games I actually want - I’m completely focused on the 3DS. That being said, I would like to pick up some Virtual Console games on Wii U. This list should definitely help those who are interested, though 😁.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Yeah I know what ya mean. The 3DS is completely engrossing me atm too haha. Hope you have an awesome weekend!

[@joshernsteen2066]

Super Hero Math might be one that you might want to pick up. It plays exactly like the title says it is. They already knew that the title would likely get confused with a another title when someone would likely get redirected to it by someone telling them about it. It does use the Wii U game pad in a way that could not even be done on the Nintendo 3DS, even the New Nintendo 3DS. It is also one of the games that they reccomended you download if you have a jail broken console among the Digital to Physical save data converter app as well on the Nintendo 3DS. Super Hero Math already apparently had hacked games already available for download when I was researching the game title. I might have saved the website if I was wanting to jailbreak my console at the time. I was definitely caught out of shock that the console could have been jailbroken even back then.

[@joshernsteen2066]

Test your Mind to maybe you might want to pick up as well. I am not fully sure how I heard of the title originally, but it is brain challenges licensed by Nintendo with 4 game modes: Mind Breeze "A set of 8 "problems" to test your mind's ability to think quickly and creatively. Overcoming the many "tricks" will be up to you. This is intended to be the easiest quiz and a great starting point." Mind Tease: " A set of 8 "problems" to test your mind's ability to think quickly and creatively. Overcoming the many "tricks" will be up to you. The difficulty of the quiz tends to be in between the other two." Mind Burst: " A set of 5 "problems" to test your mind's ability to think quickly and creatively. Overcoming the many "tricks" will be up to you. The hardest quiz. Hope you're ready for a fight. Bring a friend, maybe" Memory Wars: "This local multi-player mini-game has you memorize your opponent's button sequences and enter them back as quickly as you can. ...Ha. That's the basic idea, anyway. As of wars are actually that simple." These descriptions came from directly from the game itself just to let you know, and to avoid the comment from being questioned by other people who are going to be reading it. The company probably very said to say something very similar as well.

[@joshernsteen2066]

The game is also intentionally priced at a price that can be affordable with a $20 Eshop card as well. It was clearly mentioned among them wanting people to be able to download more games from the Wii U Eshop as well.

[@joshernsteen2066]

The company even explained exactly how to pass vision 1-5 on the game boy advance as well. They already probably explained how to do the visions correctly picking up all the orbs, on certain visions, a long time ago when they were originally talking about creating it; but did not possess the hardware to make them a reality. This is for the latest games that they just released to clarify things here.

Super Mario Galaxy is my favorite one 🌌🌠 This game has almost everything (except the planetary orbit motion) working for it....music, movement....and the hubworld is brought to life more and more everytime you progress...Super Mario Galaxy 2 was a dire need... Pandora's Tower is criminally underrated and deserves another swing with a remake/remaster. Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate was on the Vita as well 😅💖 It was entertaining to say the least. Oh today's nerdy question of the day : Your most tearjerker videogame? (One that made you cry....either tears of sadness or happiness)

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

That's awesome! I'm so happy you shared some awesome recomendations! And i love this question! The most recent game to make me teary eyed was fault-stp-lightkravte but the one that hits the hardest continually was Radiant Historia. Now in both instances it was sadness tears haha. How about you?!

Undertale, MGS3 Snake Eater, Persona 4 Golden, Brothers A Tale of Two Sons, Spiritfarer, Danganronpa (certain scenes), Final Fantasy X, World of Final Fantasy (mostly nostalgic tears 😅 Gosh,)... Undertale and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (this one was even physically painful...I won't spoil) had the maximum effect. Joy and Sorrow respectively.
