there was a guy on miiverse who played almost every game and took screenshots of water and reviewed how the water looked. that guy ruled and he made me love miiverse.
I REMEMBER THAT DUDE TOO!!
Nice water !
Long live Mario WiiU 🙏
I'm pretty sure Nintendo referenced him on the Mario Movie/SMB Plumbing webpage, it may be a coincidence but there's a testimonial there by "Pipe_Dreamz" that says "amazing looking water courtesy of the brothers"
Is this lost lore?
Few relationships in human history have had more conflict than the one between this man and the Wii U
It's like Gone with the Wind of the 21st Century
historians will be discussing the ramifications of Nintendo green lighting some of the worst TV adverts of all time for centuries to come
Its pretty hilarious how much videos hes made on this console and ive watched all of them
The types of conflict: man vs man, man vs nature, man vs self, man vs society and man vs Wii U
This is an especially spicy relationship that most just couldn't accept, but that's why we are here. We accept this!
I watched this on a Wii u
Baded pilled skibidi awooooo
My 1st watch of Breaking Bad was on my Wii U gamepad and for that I will always be grateful
Same for me but with fruitsbasket.
Can almost relate. I watched every episode of LOST on my PSP back in the day. Purely for the novelty. I had better options.
i first watched Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid on my 3ds's CZcams app. beat that, OP
@@HueyTheDoctor that is the most 2000s sentence ever
I watched the Deadpool movie for the first time on "the hub" back when it was the capital of piracy since no companies checked it
Scott’s one of THOSE youtubers now. Hasn’t uploaded in 2 months, then comes out with a 2 hour banger
And more on the way
6 months without Scott. Holy Damn.
@@TheCulturalBomb well to be fair his 2nd channel got a hell lot of love this year so far.
long main channel videos with long breaks in between? frequent uploading on the second channel? whats next, he has a fat furry fetish?
You mean he wasn't that before????
He comes back half a year in with the old Scott the Woz theme? Give this man an award.
I missed the old theme song so much
Man I was ecstatic when that came on lol
It was the new theme
we bullied him into it
@@turkhamburgaren8331 Scott uses it as background song near the beginning of the video, I was confused with the comment at first too
Fun fact: Despite owning a Wii U for quite a few years now, I never knew it had a stylus until 3 weeks ago
Lol
WAIT, IT HAD A STYLUS?!
@@ProjectCypher132no
It's for the best. Using the stylus scratched up the screen.
It never even stays in the gamepad
Miiverse is unironically one of the best things Nintendo ever did. A social media landscape run by 10 year olds, it was a blast. Role playing threads, questionable drawings, and awkward conversations galore
So like normal social media
Ten year-olds could appreciate Maid Monday like the rest of us.
there’s a new game called videoverse. it’s pretty much hypnospace outlaw but for miiverse
10/10
Miiverse in a nutshell
@marcosloldel I remember when Trump was elected and the youtube miiverse freaked out and I saw a post of sans saying "don't worry... I'll fix this" only for it to be deleted after 5 minutes by the mods
I could probably listen to this man talk about paying his taxes for an hour straight and still be entertained
You mean not paying his taxes
it's canon that he rips apart his taxes while watching movies in the background
Yep, all those taxes he doesn’t pay.
You mean committing tax evasion
No, no I wouldn't. Don't encourage him he needs to learn how to edit his shit down to a reasonable length this is ridiculous
Fun Fact: When you left the Wii U idle on the home menu, the music’s tempo would slow/quiet down as well as the floating icons in the background, until you picked up the Gamepad and everything sped back up.
Now I GOTTA have it!
Wtf I've never noticed that and I've had mine for 10 years 🤯
That's so cool I wish Nintendo bothered to do anything like that on their switch menus
I never knew about this (or the gyroscope changing the reflection of the tiles on the game selection menu) and I've had mine since day one 11 years ago
@@paul-nj1ig thank GOD the switch doesn't do anything like this, or play idling music like the wii..when I press the home button, I want there to be motionless silence
"Birth of a Death" is the most Shakespearean title I've ever heard regarding video games.
More than Nier’s “2B or not 2B” route?
@@mr.stuffdoer8483 I never heard of that until now and honestly that's kinda funny and clever lol
People can criticize it all they want but it was the stepping stone to the switch and we needed it. We needed u. Wii u

He’s technically done a Wii retrospective already
@@rollingcameraproductions7103He also did a GameCube retrospective before 2022, but the first one was his peach fuzz era of GameCube talk; I figure the reason he did this before a Wii redo was due to alluding to this first.
This is the moment we've all been waiting for. Welcome back Scott.
Wii U: Birth of a Death (Part I) - Scott The Woz
He never left, like he posted two months ago whadya want from him
Yeah
i can't believe how great this is gonna be
The Wii U king!
Miiverse was the best social media. No weird ads, no idiots raging about things, just gamers talking about the games they loved. Wish it still existed
Scott - that transition at 7:10 was fucking smooth dude.
wait hold on, i just rewatched it, that was CLEAN
I worked retail when Wii U came and so many angry parents brought back Wii U games that were “broken” and didn’t play on their Wii…… We literally had to hang a sign up on the case as a notice that Wii U was a completely different system than their Wii.
You think it would've been better if Nintendo called it the "Wii 2"?
Maybe call it The Wii Wii.
All Wii U games should've included the compulsory tag; "ONLY FOR WII U".
@@kenneth2875 lmfaoo

I was largely out of gaming from ~2009-2015. But in 2017, after the Switch was released, I looked for a used WiiU and bought the system and a good number of games from a guy for a good deal. I cannot tell you how much fun I had for like a year. I knew the system was technically a "bust", and I can't comment on what it was like in the years that the WiiU was "the" Nintendo, but after the fact, I can tell you that it's great. Donkey Kong, New Super Mario Bros., Zelda, Mario Maker, Pikmin, Mario Kart, Mario 3D World, and some others I'm forgetting. Anyway, yeah, I know it's a long-gone console and a dark stain in Nintendo history, but...I partially credit it with getting me back into gaming.
Yoshis woolly world?
Oh yeah it's a stain alright... 😂
If you get one for a good deal, there's plenty of good to be had with a concentrated burst of the best of Wii U. The pain came when you had to wait 18 months between good releases while you watched your friends with Playstation 4s get solid gold every other week.
@@PlayMadnessps5 and xbox owners understand your pain now we have 0 games
@@btwiusearch2this argument feels so overexaggerated
1:12:00 I'm honestly so happy that, starting with 3D World, they switched to every OTHER year, and diversified the types of games so it wasn't just constant "same-y" mainline Mario. From 2013 to 2023 we got a 2D-ish 3D Mario, a 3D-ish 3D Mario, a very short 3D Mario inside of a re-release, two Mario Makers, and a completely new 2D Mario with a brand-new style. That's SO much better than TWO Galaxies, FOUR New Soups, and a "3D" game that felt like New Soup and Galaxy got married in the most mediocre way possible.
You keep those 2 galaxies out of it.
@@coniyat I mean technically they WERE apart of that era but they are like 2 gems in a sea of dirt
What the FUCK happened to Thorax
not only does he start episode 251 with the old background/outro music but also by tossing a wii u.

I really missed that music.
@@runed0s86 what's the joke?
5:39 scott mentioning random historical figures' deaths will never get old.
Harry Truman catching a stray caught me so off guard, I was laughing my ass off😭
Harry Truman a Wii U. Would this be beneficial 🌎??
just like Harry Truman
I was literally about to comment about this moment. It was so out of the blue
This was the price Truman paid for nuking Japan twice
I really appreciate the fact that Scott NEVER asks you to like his videos or subscribe to his channel
it’s because scott is playing a character in the videos. he’s still talking about stupid nintendo games into a camera in the non-skit episodes, it’s just that in-universe, his youtube channel is the “scott hates breath of the wild” one, not scott the woz.
source: i got way to into the “””lore”””
We just do!
Lol first time I notice it. Scott best youtuber.
No sponsorships, no asking for likes or subs. It’s honestly so refreshing.
@@ericmay560 No raid shadow legends and only making overly produced videos where he just watches youtube videos and old vhs's like jontron. You know, Jontron, the video game comedic review youtuber whose only video game he's had on his channel in two election cycles has been raid shadow legends sponsorships and stuff in the background of other people's footage in his "gaming compounds" video?
Personally me being rather young, I grew up with the Wii U so i always thought it was the best console ever, until I realized what the the internet thought of it.
I really take issue with the collective wisdom of the internet when it comes to failed video game consoles. It turns into an echo chamber of "OMG, it was crap, LOL!" In the early 90s, I bought what would become one of the most infamous failed consoles ever... The Atari Jaguar. I'm sure you've seen it on CZcams described as "Everything about the Jaguar totally SUCKED without exception!" I won't lie, it was a disappointment and didn't live up to Atari's "64-bits of power" hype. But it wasn't all bad. There were a bunch of games on that console I genuinely enjoyed. And for a brief moment (93-94, before PS1 and Saturn), some of the games had impressive graphics. But the internet likes to focus on the most embarrassing games, ignores the better ones, and everyone has a good laugh, even though a lot of them have no firsthand knowledge of what they're laughing at.
Sameeee
Can you add another "the"?
Scott's ability to talk this much about the Wii U still continues to amaze me
@@OfficialNerdroticshut up
His second channel has also a lot of Wii U review extra content
I think he secretly loves it
Scott talks about the Wii U more than Nintendo ever did.
It gets easier with practice!
Fun fact: This and "Game Show Games" are the only two episodes so far where the last line of dialogue is not spoken by Scott himself.

@@OctacoreIsAFK I believe it
You forgot about "Game of the Year Throughout the Years" with Rex having the last word
“What was the second question on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire for PlayStation 2?”

At college, I only had my Wii U and no tv. I set it up under my bed and played Zelda solely on the controller lol. Good times
32:11 that face lining up with the “Bah” was too perfect
This isn’t just a hilarious retrospective, but an essential tome of Nintendo history. As a big Wii kid, I feel that deflating sensation as the Wii U’s situation kept worsening. Like after holiday 2012 ended, it turned from a console into a war story.
This was well worth the wait. Welcome back.
i was a wii u kid before i had any idea of the fucking wars that happened with it. i just liked the silly gamepad
@ilururiru I was a PS1 kid who skipped a console generation during high school (the PS3/Wii era). One of my friends in college had a WiiU. We'd play Smash 4, Wonderful 101, 3D World and Rayman Legends in between classes.
I'll say that the Switch era has made me miss the 3DS/WiiU era, since both consoles had a lot of great legacy content via the Virtual Console, especially compared to what we have now.
@@cultreader9751how did you play the games in between classes if you need to be close to the console when using the game pad? 🤔
@@therunawaykid6523 we'd either trade it off or play multiplayer where only one person used the game pad. And it wasnt in a dinky hallway, it was essentially in a student lounge (this was college)

My little brother was able to play Mario kart nonstop without taking over the tv. For that, my mom is grateful for the Wii U
Is anyone else rewatching this before watching Part 2?
after
I just had to finish it off again because it’s forgotten it’s been watched.
I kinda had to since he just jumps right into where he left off. A little annoying to not have some recap or skit to shift us into part 2. Especially since it he put it off while doing other videos in the meantime.
Not gonna lie I can't remember if I even watched this originally. Scott's talked about the Wii U so much that I think I just assumed these were compilation videos 😂
Scott has to be, by far, the most consistent CZcamsr in terms of quality. His video style has remained relatively the same throughout his CZcams career, yet he still somehow manages to keep this same style fresh with every new video. Hats off to you, Scott!
Hes one of the only youtubers still making content that feels like the early days without the early days awful editing
most consistent video style, least consistent upload schedule
I just can't believe he got stabbed

This might be the most comprehensive documentary the wii u will ever get. It's actually so big that Scott had to split it in two parts and it still had to be delayed by a few days
I’m Scott’s uncle and he said it’s six parts

Did you just... rickroll us with an edited Just Dance 4 Wii U ad?
Scott is one of the very few CZcamsrs who has remained pretty much the same in terms of the kind of content he makes and is making. The fact he’s been able to make the same content but always make it more entertaining than the last, is incredible. This is why he’s one of the best CZcamsrs on this site imo.
I think SomecallmeJohnny and Todd in the Shadows are the only other youtubers that i follow that i still get excited when they release new videos and that's after following them for basically a decade. And they, like Scott, really haven't changed their styles, at least not a drastic way, but their videos are so conforting and replayable.
John specifically is the most comfortable listen, kind of like catching up with an old friend.
My farts are better than Scott’s farts.
Subjective, but alright.
Yeah him and Nile red
32:15 Timing the "Huh!" in the music with Scott's confused expression was comedy genius. Bravo, Scott.

@@AidenBigNerd because it's a top comment? and what is maffoo?
The Wii U is actually really underrated, especially now that you can mod it and play every generation of nintendo on it.
Also, I always thought Wii U was supposed to sound like Wii 2.
"i don't consider the first 15 years of my life canon" 😂😂😂
52:42 love Scott’s “WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?”
The delivery’s just amazing.
Scott is a good narrator. He is the David Attenborough of the Wii U fandom.
17:19 you see scott, the difference between you and Nintendo is that.....Nintendo doesn't wear any pants.
16:09 I was smoking some 420 while watching this video and watching Reggie's speech is a surreal and hilarious experience. I can only imagine the pain those people at that event were. And I love the Wii U, but that name is the start of the disaster that was the Wii U's lifespan.
So... Why is confusion synonymous with pain in your mind?

Absolutely love playing splinter cell, black ops 2 and ghost lol
The Wii U walked so the Switch could beat it up and take its lunch money.
You know you’re in for something exciting when Scott’s nearly-two-hour long WiiU video is only Part 1.
I wonder how many parts there are in this series? I know he said 6 hours but...
That's such a specific thing to say that it sounds perfectly like a Scott quote
And only covers reveal-release

Lego City Undercover is genuinely one of my favorite games - I liked the story as a kid and it's still a blast to dick around in - especially the rerelease, which is pretty much a speedrunner's wet dream of a game.
I remember really wanting a wii U when it first came out and now I realise I may have dodged a very dangerous lifestyle, we wish you a great recovery Scott
Yeah I ended up selling the game pad and haven’t played the Wii u since as it was easily one of the noisiest consoles I have owned and I’m just not a fan of motion controls and having to keep an eye on the battery levels - much prefer a wired controller
I have one and refuse to sell it, suck on that
My family was going through financial problems at the time, so I only received a 3ds during that time as opposed to the 'big' console that was currently out. I think I ended up getting the better deal overall.
My family was seriously debating getting a WiiU or waiting for the Switch after it’s announcement. My brother and I pooled our money just to nip that in the bud.
I asked my parents for a Wii U for Christmas and got a Wii instead. Thank god i got a wii
Story time! I went to Target right around launch to pickup a WiiU and Mario. Upon checkout the young girl says “A Wii U?”. “Yeah!” I return excitedly. “It doesn’t look very good.” She says. “Yeah…” This starts the life of the next Nintendo console.
Yeah!
My favorite stories are those were someone mentions the Wii U at school and a girl asks “is that a Wii game?” and then there’s an internal Nintendork crisis of whether to explain the truth nobody cares about or just pretend the Wii U isn’t it’s own thing.

*oh wait not it was 2 months..*
These 2 months felt like years
When the world doesn't need these repetitive comments, they're still here.
The Wii U didn’t make sense for all the reasons that it made sense. The Wii U was essentially what the Wii was. It was backwards compatible and supported the use of its prior systems controller. It was underpowered yet had great games that people could get behind. The online got the job done and was never really anything better than good enough. The Wii succeeded but the problem was, it didn’t finish strong. Since the Wii didn’t finish strong and the Wii U was everything the Wii was but better*, that means that it would perform the same way that the Wii did at the end of its lifespan causing it to fail hard

Scott himself is iconic
Scott is the living definition of iconic!
My farts are better than Scott’s farts.
Does anyone have ANY idea how to actually use the word “iconic”?
@@hrrrrghOtacon Yes, and it describes Scott
Scott is the most genuine youtube channel I follow. I love that it feels like a classic video game CZcams while also being modern and topical. I've been excited for the wiiu episodes.
@@OfficialScottTheWozholy shit, it’s the official Scott the woz
Agreed. One of the few gaming channels, maybe the only, that I am still a loyal viewer of.
47:37, I remember when we lived in our old house, I could play with the gamepad in the living room, and my own room, and nowhere else. Now in the current house I live in, I reckon I can only play it in the family room and nowhere else.
Went from the Wii to the Wii U as a kid, and while I had fun w it. I should’ve asked for a 360
The Wii U is still one of my favorite consoles, not only does it play the entire Wii library, but it also had some great exclusives.
Main reason I don’t play mine anymore is I’m not a fan of motion controls and would just rather use a wired controller instead of being forced in a lot of the games to waggle the controllers around and of course have to constantly watch the battery level - must admit though the game pad was pretty comfortable to hold
yeah, until most of them went to switch
@@cccoolbucket1285AND after adding dlcs/new content on the switch ports, thus making the wii u versions appear bare-bones in comparison(mario kart 8 is an amazing example)
@@urface640 or Smash Ultimate, that is basically Smash 4 but more and better. Or Hyrule Warriors, that combined both Wii U and 3ds versions.. The only games i can think of that the Wii U has that Switch doesn't are the Zelda remasters and Xenoblade X
Also when modded you can play GameCube games some N64/SNES/NES
I love the fact they use breaking bad to showcase how Netflix works on the system
"Jesse, we need to buy the Nintendo Wii U."
@@therealestcupheadonyt “Uhh Mistah Whiite, I already have a Wii, Bitch. And I’m not mentally ill, yo.”
@@therealestcupheadonytbut mista white.. ign said the console sucks yo
@@Fluxuationwho gives a fuck Jesse, the Wii U has Lego City Undercover.
@@Fluxuation **Walter falls down**
"We had a good thing you stupid son of a bltch. We had the Wii. We had a good gaming console. We had everything we needed and it all ran like clockwork. You could've shut your mouth, played, and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect. But no. You just had to make it obsolete. You, and your hardcore fans and your ego. You just had to be the man. If you'd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now."
I enjoyed AC3, Blops2, and Arkham City on Wii U at launch. I’m glad Scott raised the question of Far Cry 3 never hitting Wii U. I have no idea why it’s still not on Switch.
I always find it kinda funny that the B.A.T. system in Arkham City Armored Edition just became the electric gloves in Batman Arkham Origins.
Pretty sure I'm not the first one to point this out, but Scott finally rickrolled us. 1:28:25
Scott will never give you up
@@ChristopherKelley100 and he'll never let us down. He'll never run around and desert us. He'll never make us cry, he'll never say goodbye, he'll never tell a lie and hurt us. God this never gets old
oh my GOD
omg
Thanks for the warning
1:28:25 Scott really hit us with the Rick roll 💀
Hahahaha
You saved me lmao
He really did though
That was my immediate thought
50:06 i feel like the stand is something you have with you where ever to prop up the gamepad. while the cradle is more so ment to be a stationary thing by the console.
To think that the Wii U is making a comeback as a new controller for the PS5
What a time to still be breathing
So glad you gave Nintendo Land the praise it deserves. What a fantastic game. My siblings and I had such a blast with this game. Every time I would have friends over, we'd play Nintendo Land. My siblings and I still play it to this day. Underrated and definitely one of the best party games of all time.
YES my friends and I used to play it at every birthday party
Seems like every family who liked the game had a favorite minigame, which one was yours? Our favorite was the Luigi's mansion one ;p
@@AVI-lh6rm my siblings and i loved the Metroid minigame. My brother isn't great at games, so we always let him be the ship since it was kinda OP. My sister was pretty little and I gamed the most so we'd be the ground team. Each game was always so close. Such a blast.
All the multiplayer games were great though. Played all of them a bunch haha
@@AVI-lh6rm oh, and my little sister's favorite was also Luigi's mansion!
@@AVI-lh6rm Metroid was our favorite co-op, Mario was our favorite PvP.
When I was 11, the wii u seemed like the coolest thing ever. Fast forward to a year later when I snuck the game pad to school thinking I’d be able to play it and was met with disappointment. Don’t worry, everyone already thought I was a dork
Yeah I hated the limited range of the game pad it meant if you wanted to play games on just the game pad you had to be really close to the console itself I’m so happy this isn’t an issue with the switch 😃
So how do you like your switch?
@@fan9775 I'm guessing he doesn't go to school anymore.
@@korvo3427hey you don’t know. Maybe he was too busy trying to use his Wii U
Lmaoooo I'm literally watching this video on my phone propped up on my WiiU gamepad stand, I love that dumb little plastic triangle.
The worst thing about this video was learning that I bought the basic set by accident.
