- For a very wide and unique market of products, the Wii gaming accessories and peripherals sure are pretty useless.

Mention "toaster strudel" in your comment if you see this, I'm curious if anyone reads the description :o) - Zábava
New goal: 100% Twilight Princess using only the frying pan attachment
okay but make it skyward sword
No wii sports
skyward sword with the bowling ball

This is my new favorite cozy channel. The epitome of “need to watch something while I eat”.
dude YES and literally exactly what I am doing while I watch this currently!
Videos like Dream Jelly's and Scott the Woz's are what I watch when doing laundry. Mini docs make chores a relaxing and entertaining passtime.
Dream Jelly always seems to post just in time when I'm looking for something to watch while eating. In fact, I'm doing exactly that right now.
@@oeurves_d-oriel and izzzyzzz!
I like falling asleep to their vids ❤ I do end up staying up for the whole vid bc it’s so interesting tho LOL literally my situation rn as I type this
Wii Fit had the most janky weight classifications. My whole family was always very healthy and fit, but we always got "Overweight" or "Obese". My dad ran marathons and my mom was a personal trainer, so they were actually very thin. I really don't think they actually used the actual BMI scale in the game. Basically, my parents just wrote it off as very harsh standards from Japan, so I never took it personally.
My wii fit thinks my little sister is VERY skinny and that upsut my sister alot
BMI itself is a very wonky system and can't be fully trusted. It doesn't count that your weight is not only your fat, it's also your muscles. You can be very ripped but be labeled as "obese" by BMI.
To be fair even if it did use BMI, it is a really shit way of measuring someone's health, it's just a "comparison" of your weight vs your height that doesn't take muscle mass into account.
I was underweight for a while, and the animations were actually quite discouraging. If my Wii U would actually boot up, I'd let you know if they improved anything. I know they added dancing stuff in the Wii U one compared to the original, and a step counter that would connect to the system. But I also didn't play the middle release between the two, as I didn't actually buy any of them myself.
BMI is not a great measurement for athletes. It takes into account a person's body mass, and with athletes having a lot of muscle mass (especially ones that require explosive movements), they will generally be as heavy (or heavier) as a regular person who doesn't do as intense exercise, especially as muscle is denser than fat. BMI also doesn't take children into account either. It's best use is for a regular adult who doesn't participate in a lot of intense physical activity.
in defense of the wheel, it makes the motion controls in MKWii feel less stiff since instead of rotating a brick you're rotating a circle with a brick inside of it.
I also find it easier to grip the remote with the added surface area.
I work in a local/retro game store and the amount of people that think you *need* the wheel to play Mario Kart Wii is insane, when I tell them it's just a piece of plastic that isn't needed they're always so perplexed by it.
that's so cute 😭 the marketing for that wheel really tricked people huh lol
meanwhile if you work at a gamestop they would force you to sell the idea you need it, and try to flood your email with spam by asking if you want to be part of a news letter.
@@GribbleGob for real yeah, I'm always transparent and honest with people about this kind of stuff both with accessories and games too. One of the best parts of my job is when someone comes back and tells me they loved the game I recommended 🫶.
Despite being someone who grew up with the Gameboy but never owned a Wii I honestly never knew it was just a plastic until 2-3 years ago lol
I didn't have mario kart so I remember seeing the wheel, thinking it was so cool, then going to a friend's house and finding out it was just plastic. It was like a bit of magic in my life died.
It’s crazy how the Wii is so nostalgic now I still remember first getting one and then being hard to find everywhere because they were sold out. The Wii was for everybody that’s why there’s so much junk for it
I remember getting mine for my 8th birthday in 2008 like it was yesterday T_T
I remember getting my first Wii with Just Dance 2010 and using the hell out of that game (I was 6 and it was Christmas). Sadly my original Wii was stolen along with all my games, but a couple years later my mom found 2 wii's at a thrift store for only $50 :D. I believe it was 2015 because I have just dance 2015 still to this day XD (I've only played the 2010 and 2015 version.) It was a blue wii and a white one with matching controllers and nunchucks, but the only problem was it only came with one set of cables. I decided to use the blue one, and have the other as an extra in case it broke. I have no idea where my mom put that one XDXD. My blue wii still works, but my new tv doesn't work with the Wii so it's just sitting in my closet until we setup my old TV in the other room 😭Good nostalgia
Got the wii in uhhhh 2010? When I was 7 and it was my first semester of first grade at my new school :3
i remember watching my brother playing subspace emissary bc i was too young to work a wii remote lmao
i worked at Gamestop yearsss after the Wii came out and you wouldn’t believe how popular and in demand the Wii, its games and its weird accessories were even then. i never thought half of my job would be telling customers no we do not have the Wii fit board or the gun attachments in the back 😭
Meanwhile, I went to a used game store a few years ago to get a new board as mine had corroded, and they had like 6, all but one were way worse corroded than mine. Those things are notorious for being bad on batteries. Last time I used it I used rechargeable ones and that went okay, but I don't trust it for very long. Now my Wii U won't even boot, so I can only use it with the original Wii games, like Wii Fit, Wii Music (drum kit used the board), and Wii Ski and Snowboard.
There actually is a broomstick accessoire for the Wii remote!! It was made for the german game Bibi Blocksberg: Das große Hexenbesen-Rennen. Bibi Blocksberg is a kids tv show in Germany. Bibi, the main character, is a witch. In the game, you compete in a race (on your broom) against other witches.
I can’t believe Wii broomstick attachment is canon
Damn this awakened some deeply repressed memory of miserably failing to use the broom attachment and just using the normal remote in the end, banishing the broom in the back of the closet never to be seen again
about two years ago, i got very wine drunk on a wednesday night and decided to play wii bowling with the plastic bowling ball…i was so drunk i let go of the ball and it flew right into the tv 😶
was the screen okay??
@@dohyeonkim2178 no LOL
skill issue
should’ve worn the wrist strap 😔
@@candy-kp8bb ☠️
The fact that my local second-hand game store used to use a stack of wii fit balance boards to prop open the door during the summer says a whole lot about how much people valued some of the accessories lol

Wow you opened up a lot of memories when you mentioned the Trauma Center attachments. That game was really ahead of it's time. It felt like a game truly made with the Wii in mind and it took advantage of the controls.
Trauma Center is so underrated like -
Have you tried it on the DS? Ugh 💖
My parents bought my sister and I a knock off will sports, and once I was doing the blowing game, I didn't use the safety strap and the plastic blowing ball went into the fireplace cover and to this day like 16 years later there's a nice hole in that fireplace cover.
The nerf gun for the second nerf game was actually pretty cool. It had a flip up red sight that highlighted things on the screen that you couldn't see otherwise.
I'm a Wii kid through and through. It's nice to meet a fellow Gold License Plate champion from Mario Kart.
Love how fast you've been growing, lady. Way to go! And honestly it's all through content you're passionate about talking about, which is what makes it so fabulous.
I think the abundance of gun accessories for the Wii is because of the popularity of light gun games, it was and still is the best console to replicate the arcade experience at home
I have no idea how you’d even use the Trauma center accessory
Also I think the radar is supposed to be the ultrasound^^
Intimidating the GUILT with how few fucks you give
Your videos just hit the right amount of 2000s nostalgia and your voice is so calming to listen to
Grip is definitely why I used the steering wheel as a kid, but we also had a set of random plastic sport equipment that didn't fit on the remote properly and so never got used. I could see the switch peripherals being a bit more useful for some people, since the joycons are so much smaller than the wiimote, but there's really enough cheap plastic tat in the world already
I love your content! It’s just simple enough for me to understand without doing further research- and I love the way you format your videos and use the time wisely! New favorite channel for sure!
7:01 Funnily enough that DOES fit Trauma Center considering one of the tools you get is an ultrasound shaped like that.
I definitely had way more peripherals than my parents probably appreciated (special shout-out to the NGamer exclusive wheel that they then gave out Twice) but the dumbest was def the Wii Music instruments, especially when that was barely a game to begin with. But I LOVED it and I loved them and you best believe I strapped my wiimote into the equivalent instrument every time I played. The trumpet was my fav.
I'll never forget when they announced Mario Kart Wii & showed the wheel because for about 3 minutes I was so mad as I thought it was the only way to play the game.
i genuinely love your videos so much! I always knew there were some absurd wii accessories and my family even own a few, but I had no clue about the balance board push up bar or the cyberbike??? You're telling me they made a whole fitness bike for the wii??? Incredible. toaster strudel
tbf there are still many exercise bikes like that have interactive games built into them. doesn't seem to crazy
my favorite wii accessories are the epic mickey nunchucks!! they literally just exist to look cool but oh my GOD do they look cool. especially the second version of the paintbrush that lights up. but i’m also super biased because i grew up on epic mickey and always wanted those nunchucks sooo bad
Yessss I wanted those accessories so bad as a kid who was obsessed with Epic Mickey. Maybe someday I’ll get them on eBay when I’m financially stable 😭😭
I had one and it was SO COOL… to look at, i had gotten it when i had already beaten the game and it wasn’t very comfortable
15:40
Honestly, the cyberbike is the kind of stuff i would buy for my wii if i had plenty of space on a big room where to put up a tv.
I love using exercise bikes, but not seeing anything while using them(bc i'm attached to a single spot) makes it half-boring; but i also don't like to exercise while others watch me doing it, because i have a ton of guilt, shame, and insecurities, accumulated, based off experiences of my past and problems with my weight(i was overweight at one point, and i don't wanna talk about it) and with my appearance…
So it would be heaven for me if i could do exercise at home with something really cool to give me cheer ups and fun while i do so, it would elevate the unpleasant(for me!) experience of doing exercise, without the negative sides of being outside at the exposure of other's people's eyes and/or thoughts.
It would be a win-win situation.
After seeing a few of your videos, I'm happy to sub. Your content always feels like a cozy stroll down obscure memory lanes from my childhood.
The mention of rock band brought back so many memories, i remember i was in this after school karate program for awhile and every month we would have pizza parties and game nights where they would have a few game consoles brought by the staff and the xbox 360 had but once it wouldnt turn on so we would play with the instuments and pretemd we were part of a band which wasnhonestly more fun then the game itself
my favorite wii accessory was the crossbow one that came with links crossbow training
Also fun fact about the Samba de Amigo game, one of its songs is featured in Sega's MMO Phantasy Star Online 2. It was the lobby music during an event. So those games are always associated with each other to me now
I will always love both of those games. Such bops
I nearly forgot that we in the non sports community refer to touchdowns as “football strikes”
Anyone else have the Rock Band drum set growing up? That was wild
Mm that textureeee
i remember when i was like 5, we had this scarface game and had a gun add-on for the remote, i don’t know why or how i was able to play this but i remember it was very fun
I hate to admit how accurate the 'using radar to detect tiny submarines in a patient' part is to the actual gameplay of Trauma Center. Except the submarines are more like evil dragons.
i love how the more recent videos have been linked to each other. it’s like the djcu (dream jelly cinematic universe)
On the bowling ball button mystery: in the back picture you can see a button to the right of the holes, and in the bottom picture you can see that the person's index finger is crooked over that button. It's likely a duplicate A button so you can, you know, play the game. Still an unwieldy controller if you're using the top part for navigating menus, but at least functional.
Edit: I would also like to note that Rock Band was actually made by the same people as Guitar Hero, they ran alongside each other for a good long while.
Also, looked at description, now I want toaster strudels.
I really miss wii fit plus. Every friday for years my family would play for a couple hours. My mom became obsessed because it made her mii fat when she was pretty slim.
We actually had a cyberbike and honestly??? It was fun! It was just the same as having an exercise bike just with the added fun of a game to play at the same time
Good news: There IS a Wiimote broomstick accessory you don't now about. I faintly remember that coming out with a Bibi game. Bibi Blocksberg is a popular character in German children's comics that had several videogames, including at least one broomstick racing one on Wii and that one came with a broomstick shell for the wii remote.
And yet I know of no HP games on the Wii outside of the LEGO games... Imagine if they'd ported Quidditch World Cup to it?
I like how things like the wheel could for sure help with grip for people with disabilities or older people or children and then there’s things like the football, which is almost certainly getting punted across the room bc someone forgets you’re not actually supposed to throw it
I can't believe you didn't mention dance mats! I suppose DDR was on other systems so it wasn't really a Wii specific thing, but they were everywhere! I think they used the GameCube controller plugs in the top. I have one somewhere... Didn't use it much, as the balance board was more responsive, and the games for the two were pretty similar.
I still have my DDR mats I loved playing with them!
I didn't have a Wii, but I did have a Wii U. Which had the most ridiculous accessory of all - the tablet.
Jokes aside, the tablet wasn't too bad for certain games. I particularly liked how it worked with Wind Waker, it made it easy to fill out the whole sea chart
The WiiU was the BEST though
I remember my dad bought the tennis, baseball, and golf set attachment set. After a while the attachments would make a click sounds when we would swing, and we thought nothing of it. Then specifically on Easter, my dad was kicking my ass in baseball when he swings so hard the bat attachment goes FLYING through our 30in flat screen tv. We're just glad it didn't hit us to this day it's a family story.
8:31 I think the idea is not to use the darts between rounds while playing the game, but after playing when you want to take it outside. It gives you the real toy and a video game version all in one.
Also it's a way less destructive object than before the Wii games came out. There was a DVD game packed in a Nerf toy blaster that used suction darts, so you can count your shots in game and respond with the DVD remote. But the blaster also had an air-powered rocket you can pump up, not used for the game but part of the game cutscenes. Imagine blasting your TV with a rocket instead of a dart to register a hit.
Honestly I'm amazed about the topics you cover, you make me unlock memories of my childhood every video. I'm glad your channel is growing so much, you deserve it, your content is amazing
Edit: toaster strudel
Will you ever do a video about the PS3 Playstation Move controllers? I quickly fell in love with Eyepet and to this day, I think it's a pretty fun and unique take on the virtual pet genre. And Sports Champions 1 and 2 were a major source of exercise for me back in the day 😂 I especially loved ultimate frisbee and archery. Despite my love for that game, I never once used the peripheral accessories that my parents shelled out for. Sorry mom!
Holy shit I still have my Playstation move set up! I loved it lol
So nostalgic. I always played Wii with my grandpa because he had one.
OMG I have the uDraw. It was literally digital drawing but for the Wii
I also have the Cabellas Gun because my mom and I got it for my dad a long time ago when it came out
Great video! Most of these accessories I had no idea existed until now. My ideal Wii accessory world be one that can hold my toaster strudel.
Make you feel like you were out on the greens, and…. clubbing that ball. 😆
Love golf video games, so that made my day.
i had the attachments for my wii and honestly it made playing a lot more fun, especially games like tennis or baseball
so proud of how fast your channel is growing and i can’t wait until you hit 100k soon enough! 💗
So fun fact. The Wii Guitar Hero controllers are in high demand right now because of the open source Guitar Hero game for PC, Clone Hero. Because of the proprietary hardware, it's difficult to connect wireless Xbox 360 controllers to the PC because it requires a special, out of production adapter and the knockoffs sold online almost never work. Because of the Wiimotes having Bluetooth, the Wii guitars are the best way to play with wireless controllers.
I’ve been rewatching all of your videos all day, love seeing a new one!
There is btw a broom accessory: I distinctly remember there being one for a game featuring German kids book character Bibi Blocksberg. Really wanted that one as a kid.
Is that the German HP or...?
@@Roadent1241 Haha, honestly, she might as well have been. Used to be everywhere here, just like HP. The premise is a little different tho :3
@@simbolic Interesting that this is new to me. Time to dig into it and learn me a new thing!
my family had a fishing rod one that helped a lot with a specific fishing game, i can't recall the name. to reel a fish in, you had to move the nunchuck in a somewhat even circular motion, something that young kids excited to have caught something weren't particularly good at. it had a holder for the nunchuck that only allowed it to move in that circular motion and would allow you to do it super quickly, and it was a lifesaver for my siblings and i with that
I remember my mom and I found so many Wii remote accessories at Dollar Tree back in 2011 or so. We bought 2 of every single style they had. Good times.
The wii wheel, was omy favourite attachments to the wii remote because as a disabled person, this made gaming really accessible and enjoyable to play
Just found your videos recently and i just wanted to say your video topics are very interesting to listen to and you keep me invested while folding laundry! Awesome content keep it up!
i think i've watched about almost all but 3 of your vids in two days. i love the nostalgia it gives me, back in a simpler time
Thank you for such cozy videos, your voice and content is just so relaxing!
I still have my childhood Wii, its launch day, with the GameCube controller slots. I had the Wii-Draw tablet, several steering wheels, a *GUN*, for a dinosaur hunting game, and a bootleg tennis racket to help me during wii-sports, because I am autistic, and my hand-eye coordination was even worse when I was six, so these accessories, namely the steering wheel, gun (yep), and the rackets really did help when it cane to being I clouded in on family gaming sessions.
I have a very specific memory of making my Christmas list one year and finding the bowling ball online and having this like starry eyed moment of “ I need that.” I wanted that bad boy so bad but thankfully my parents saw through it and didn’t get it. All those accessories were total kid magnets, I thought they were the coolest thing back then.
your videos make my day, i love nostalgia kind of videos and sometimes when i’m eating or something i just need someone to listen to, and your videos are perfect for that!!!!! i jump up and down and click my heels every time you upload, so huzzah for dream jelly!
i love videos with topics like these, keep up the good work man
Many accessories had the problem of not really being made for left-handed people, too. They were already kind of mid if you're right-handed, but they're outright unuseable at times if that's not your dominant hand.
idk about the other accessories, but the car wheel one is certainly good to make these racing games more accessible, as the remote might be more difficult to hold than an "actual" steering wheel for many people
Mario Kart Wii was the first video game my cousin ever liked and played, and she always used that wheel attachment. I have no idea how she made that thing work lmao
i watch these videos while ✨ knitting ✨ like an old woman
great inspiration, i made a wii remote with yarn
I remember the Samba De Amigo maracas! I still have them actually lol. 😆
Although, I have the white ones.
Don't think I've ever seen the red ones from the video though.
Had no idea that Wii Sports did accessories! ^_^
Yay thanks for another video ^^ Love your relaxing voice. I friggin love the Nintendo Wii! Also I played Dance Dance Revolution and Taiko no Tatsujin in an Australian arcade yesterday 😊😊
I got the Pink Princess Peach Wii Remote ^^ I got two Wii Guns and of course all the Wii Sports stuff…. But we never used them 😅😅
I’m SOOOO happy that you included Petz Catz 2 here… I still own that game and really enjoy the vibe of it ☺️🐱
I PLAYED DJ HERO AND I GOT THTAT TURNTABLE WEEEEE
I just love how much you mention stuff I actually own 😂😂😂
I really hope you keep making videos for a while. They're so interesting and soothing at the same time for me.
I still have my Udraw tablet!!!!! It was rlly cool for its time but the pen connection wire is annoying and too short for me being a leftie which kinda made me stop using it but def a 9/10 for that era of my life
I remember playing the Wii when I was little, I had one of these gaming accessories for the Mario Kart Wii, I also played a lot of Wii sports with my grandma but never had the gaming accessories for it( I think for one Grandma didn’t want me to break her tv with one of them) also I gotten used of using just the controller for it instead. I’d don’t have it anymore but I wish I did
i love this channel, perfect blend of nostalgia and informative funny content!! dream jelly stan til i die
just subbed bc your videos make me happy
The gun attachments, oh god the gun attachments. For some reason, my family had one of them even though we never played shooter games or used it ever, but many years later one of my friends decided to try to use it to play call of duty (why was that on the wii...) and it was horrendous. I have a video of him struggling to get through the tutorial with it. Besides that, Wii Ski is the best balance board game and no one can tell me otherwise.
one of the ones i had was the fishing pole (i know i’m cool) and it was great. it made reeling in fish so much easier!!
so happy I found your channel! My new fave, I like it even more than ✨ toaster strudel ✨
You’re so confident in this one. Love it
There was a cricket game in Australia that came with the racket/paddle thingy as an attachment and a ball attachment, apparently, but when I look for it online I never find it with the ball..!
I had always been a fan of special controllers from the NES light gun to the GameCube's DK bongos, so the Wii and it's attachments were right up my alley. I mostly stuck to official ones and the Mario Kart steering wheel and the crossbow attachment included with Link's Crossbow Training were probably my favorites outside of the balance board (which I used the most and still sometimes use, although Wii Fit isn't really a traditional game, so it's sort of in its own category). I think that game-specific controllers bring home a part of the gaming experience that's normally confined to the arcades.
you're literally my comfort youtuber, i love watching your videos so much!
You just unlocked the memories linked to wii fit that basically laid the premises to my eating disorder lmao, just imagine little me counting the calories burned in the specific section so I could see my BMI results
I had a weird dream that there was a store that sold many accessories for the wii, switch and nintendog on the ds. I liked that dream
I can't stop watching this channel
I remember seeing add for an epic mickey paintbrush and zapper wiimote. I really wanted them as a kid !
As a Samba De Amigo fan (maraca game shown) the maracas actually probably would make the game a lot more fun
I used the shotgun accessory for link's crossbow training. It was basically shaped like the real crossbow for the game but minus the bow limbs and all white.
I remember my brother and I for some reason had a NERF brand Wii-Wheel, for Speed Racer for the Wii. (He also had some DS shells that fell off, also NERF)
I don't remember him playing it much, but the same could be said about the LPS Wii game and me.
At least the Club Penguin Wii game was played, even without any accessory.
I wasn't ready for a nostalgia trip at 535am on a Wednesday but here we are
I'm glad I didn't have the bowling ball accessory since I already accidentally threw the remote at the wall while playing bowling.
Also the mention of the snowboard/skateboard/surfboard apparently? made me remember the scene from iparty with victorious where sijin is on one playing a surfing game but it breaks and he flies out the window, falling into the hot tub.
I have many of the accessories for the wii. I did like the wheel for Mario Kart but i never used any of the other ones lol
I can't believe you didn't include the skateboard controller for Tony Hawk Ride, it didn't even work. I remember one day my mom came home excited that she got a new game for me for really cheap at a garage sale, and I remember being very disappointed when I put the disc in and connected the skateboard just for it to not even work in the game lol
My Nerf Wii wheel will forever be my favorite Wii wheel. It got me through all of Mario Kart Wii. Also I still have it today and it is my go to Wii wheel.
7:15 my grandma got me that since she knows I drew back when was little and I don’t remember drawing much with it.
Today it would seem nice to try and do bootleg digital art since I’ve gotten interested in doing digital illustrations
I'm curious of any results?
@@Roadent1241 I don’t know what you mean of results, but I tried looking for it in the bin where my wii was and I couldn’t find the tablet, I think I threw it away but I still got the game
@@josem370 I meant I'd like to see any artwork you do nowadays on it if at all possible. Sorry if I'm being nosey, I've never heard of this feature for the Wii U because I don't have one and I'm intrigued what the quality is.
Thanks, I now want to see 100% Wii recording using the wrong accessories for them
The Thrustmaster saber duo attachments made me laugh for way too long lmaoo
I’m a day late today, but I am here for my weekly dose of dream jelly. The steering wheel for Mario kart was my fav
