The Wii's online blew so hard it could get some old nes cartridges to work again
so THAT'S how VC worked!!!
Blowing the cartridges makes it worse as you're blowing dust FURTHER into it. As a result the dust collects up and now you have to do something
@@CosmicFox2007 can you just take a joke
guys cmon when you hhhhhhhhhhhh🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
CyberXarex YT You’re fucking gay
The Wii undoubtedly had the best menu music out of any system.
Paul Pheonix I sometimes turn it on just to listen to it.
Yes
No fucking doubt
i used to leave it on just to listen to that music
Paul Pheonix ps4 does wii is just the 2nd
We not gonna talk about how scott immediatly flung himself to certain death at 6:00
BIGGIEEEEEE Its Brayden lol
The wii wasn’t just a gaming console,it was a cultural phenomenon
Agreed. Back in Gen 4 with the SNES and Genesis, gaming was still viewed as nothing more than toys for kids younger than high school age. The PS1 increased the age demographic that gaming appealed to up to high school age, the PS2 -- and original Xbox to some extent -- increased it again to people in their 20's and even 30's, but it was really the Wii that finally opened up gaming to everyone of all ages. The PS2 put consoles in lots of houses, but it was the Wii that was largely responsible for making gaming so popular that people were just as likely to own a gaming console as any other media device.
That everyone forgot about years later and no one talks about it besides the grown up children and nintendo fans
@@staringcorgi6475 Well I would expect Nintendo fans to like a Nintendo product.
@@staringcorgi6475Yet the WII in hindsight had a hand in making video games more mainstream than they would've been without it.
Yeah definitely it was a big part of my childhood, and reminds me of fond things.
I really hope this guy explodes in popularity. This man is charismatic, his voice is pleasant, he knows what he's talking about, his "cutaways" are actually funny. This man NEEDS a larger audience.
Plus, he's kinda cute.
Did I just say that out loud? Um... look over there! A brick wall!
RyanX1231 you’re not wrong
Reciful Navi I mean, you’re not wrong
he did
AntiDashlol - I mean, you're not wrong.
Weird thing I noticed: most people i knew had made a Hitler Mii in their Mii channel.
Levi Caribou Lappe or a Garfield one
Tf
I mostly saw peter griffin
i had a sonic
he got transferred to my 3ds and used in mario 3d land for a file select
he's still there to this day
Lol I totally have a Hitler mii.
Why does everyone dog on this console? I think it's a great console despite it's power, and the games were revolutionary. I consider it one of my all time favorite consoles of all time.
Yeah
Now barely anybody will insult this thing but back in 2017 everybody hated this one
@@dashhhh8228 they ragged on it but liked it
Because it didnt have nintendogs
“Revolutionary”
I see what you did there.
true OGs will remember when this video was called "The Wii is Underrated"
Underrated shouldn't be anywhere in the title. He's a fan boy but geez underrated it's one of the best selling consoles of all time. Chill tf no one honestly thinks its underrated except fan boys.
@@simplez4ck Its sales have nothing to do with its perception as being a console that was only good for casual players with games like Wii Sports with the rest of the library being shovelware.
Simple Z4ck if that’s your definition of underrated then you should get out of here.
Wii is overrated
@@itsamiianastasis5786 you're not helping
The Wii in my opinion is one of the best and my most nostalgic console. I still play it to this day.
100% Agreed, I even still buy Games for it that I always wanted to own. For Me It's right up there with The PS3.
Same lol but I mostly use it for GameCube games and virtual console and Wii ware
@@Marsalona I used to use it for VC and Wii Ware, but then one day I was unable to transfer any of my games from my SD card to the Wii console. I have like a 100 freaking games and they are all on my SD card but I can't play any of them. I've been wondering forever if something is broken or if I'm just too technologically illiterate to figure out what is going on.
Same, but recently my WIi's disc drive broke, so now it does not read any form of disc. Luckily, I might be getting a Wii from my cousins, and theirs works. I'd love to start collecting for the GC and Wii, but was limited since I'd need a new Wii to start. Now I don't need to spend a hundred dollars on potentially a WIi with the same problem, but the system and a bunch of games for free!
I mean it beat the 360 and ps3 sales wise and the only draw back it had compared to competitors was ram and graphics the cpu was pretty solid and im still impressed they got modern warfare 3 to run on it
"In five years, people will consider it the best Zelda game"
Jokes on you, it's only 2018 and fans are already asking for a remake.
Yeah but that’s in part that people still hate it. It would work better on the switch than on the wii. I honestly love skyward sword but I understand the reasons for why people hate it.
@@theaverageguy7690 People hate is for multiple different reasons, some I agree with, some I don't. As far as I'm concerned, motion controls worked great, but the game's painful slowness, linearity and handholding really hurt the whole experience. And that can't be simply fixed by a remake.
@@19Szabolcs91
Not unless it's an actual remake and not just a port/graphical update.
I'd be down for a remake in the Style of No More Heroes Paradise, where motion controls were removed.
Skyward Sword is the only 3D Zelda game I actually enjoy.
How the hell was Scotts voice deeper compared to now?

“skyward sword will be considered the best zelda game in a few years” didnt age well lmao
In his defense, he was less than a year off from the release date.
It already is, at least to me
There's a remake coming though, could help
Bc theres still 2 years left
Nintendo is making sure that won't happen.
I’m convinced Scott is from the future. He predicted super mario 3d all stars and the love of skyward sword
As much as I can rag on the Wii, this was one of my first game consoles, and I have so many fond memories of playing it with my sister and completing dumb shovelware games. Also, dangling around the Miis on the Mii Channel took up about 80% of my play time. The Wii really paved the way for Nintendo's future as well as other features like avatars and such, and I'm sad to see it overlooked so often.
Mur * if you don't have homebrew you need to get it on your wii
What’s a home brew? It was my first console too. Got it when I was like 4-5. I’m 12 now with a pc (gtx 650 help) Xbox 360 (my second console, and a 2005 model) a ds bulk and lite, a new 3ds XL, a broken NES, a working Atari 2600, a Dreamcast, a Wii U, and getting a ps2 for Christmas. Jesus Christ I’m spoiled yet responsible.
Mur * mine too it was like my 3rd right afyer my N64 and the genesis
Queen of Vlogs mine too.
Mur * same one of my best memory's
We're not even talking about the true capabilities of this bad boy with the Homebrew Channel.
It's such a monster, so many consoles in one.
@@brandonlivega Even a PS1 emulator that works surprisingly well! I was able to play Driver, Gran Turismo, Crash Bandicoot, GTA1 and various OG NFS titles on it (I highly recommend using a GameCube or Classic Pro controller for sensible input mapping from the get-go); more demanding titles like Final Fantasy VII and Gran Turismo 2, however, don't really work too well but it's impressive that it even works at all!
The Homebrew Channel and The Homebrew Browser made the Wii into another console.. It made the Wii so much more better and I loved my Wii until it died on me in 2018.. Had it since 2007..
Yup I got one for $10 and homebrewed it now I can play Mario kart Wii online and I don’t even have the disc 😂🤙🏼
I have a hard drive loaded with games, and i also got the wii shop channel games

Zelda BOTW: I'm about to end this mans whole career.
It was released 10+ months before the video.
Skyward sword hd later this year: I'm about to fix this mans whole career.
Gotta say, I'm sick and tired of people jizzing all over BotW. It's a good game, but holy shit, it's not even in my top five Zelda titles -- and I'm a 3D-era player, I struggle to enjoy any of the top-down stuff.
BOTW is great, but i prefer the old traditional dungeon style like Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time. I like the open worldness, but i hope it doesn’t revolutionize the Zelda franchise. after BOTW2, i hope they go back and make a game in the traditional style.
@@CoralCopperHead Fuck ya all I only played 2d Zeldas befor Botw and then I played the other 3 games and now I know why I like botw more then ocarina of time
He might have predicted the future with skyward sword
I still play Wii to this day .-.

the wii version felt off for me
I played the XBOX 360 edition since as a kid I had the XBOX 360 so I could play COD with my friends
Or the indiana Jones games- *Willy Scott wants to know your location*

@@nolanepstein8588 Fr tho it was great
I remember playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii on it. It's still a very good console and was very fun to play on.
Me too
I remember raging at playing new super Mario bros so many times with my brother
@Mr.Swaggins even though it was underpowered had mostly shity third party games and consistently made me feel left out alone while everybody was playing their they're good popular next gen consoles?

Finally beat skyward sword yesterday actually and it was AWESOME! overall I feel the controls performed well but there were definitely a couple boss battles where it just felt like there was far too much going on too fast. No regrets on beating the game though it is a blast!
I had more more fun playing Skyward Sword than Breath of the Wild.
And I am dead fucking serious.
@@shibba2517 i.... I fail to see how this is possible. Breath of the wild was the most fun i have had in a zelda game
@@hariodinio Breath of the wild is amazing, easily a game of a generation........it just isn't what Zelda has literaly been since the Snes and a lot of old fans feel that
My friends still play Mario Kart wii on weekends. Still just a good console to easily play together.
ya same still play the wii
They have online for mario kart Wii called ctgp
superj1e2z6 ikr
superj1e2z6 That’s only as long as you’re playing with people who actually know what they’re doing. The same can’t be said for any of my friends... they all suck at video games in general.
And the Wii modding community was just fantastic. All the different mods to "fix" Brawl, hundreds of custom tracks for Mario Kart... all super easy to install for a console.
The wii was my first Nintendo console and I loved it!!! So much fun playing wii sports resort during the holidays
The NES was mine back in the 80’s & I loved the Wii as well. Just picked up one again at a game shop & it is still fun to play.
BRAYDENATER99 nah let’s talk about it. I think it’s gimmick wasn’t strong and plus Nintendo marketed it very wrongly

That's just the original dkc title screen theme
Edit: oh it is the returns theme... sounds exactly the same...
Nice
4:24 for some reason, I never had a problem with brawl, wether it be the wifi, or the slow engine, maybe it's just me.
Ahooda same as me to be honest haha
I had problems with my first wii and brawl but it was due to some hacks and hard drive stuff but then I bought another one and still have it since 2014 and brawl still works
Same, I think it was just varying based on wifi and possibly Wii builds. I didn't have a first release so, could be a factor.
Imagine Smash 4's 3DS for glory with full seconds of input lag
Same, I never had a problem with it either

Just re-watching this, must of missed this the first time around, but thanks for acknowledging Klonoa. It's nice to have a big CZcamsr like you call attention to the franchise, even if it is just mentioning the game's existence. You probably already know, but if you don't, that's a remake of the franchise's first game, Klonoa: Door to Phantomile for the PS1.
How do you feel about the Phantom Reverie collection?
I bought a used Wii in 2019, my first console since the N64 and i love it.

Good on you man I love the wii. What are your favorite games on it??
@@grimaa Galaxy 1,2. I played rayman origins before on pc but i play it on wii too, donkey kong country returns, and ofc. mario kart WII, the first mario kart i played and we got addicted to it with my girlfriend. I have the two zelda games for it too but haven't tried them jet.
Dániel Z. Im a big fan of Twilight Princess, not so much Skyward Sword though!
0:02 don’t worry Scott. The remote was broken before you threw it at the tv.
I'm surprised that TV didnt even flinch
I love it with every fiber of my being.
1:16 I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who lost the Gamecube Controller port's lid-
And even though the wii had a low graphics card mario galaxy is still stunning
sylveonemeraldz ikr??? Same with sunshine tbh like the water looks amazing
Not only did it look great but it was the first time we’ve ever had a main 3D Mario game running at 60fps. Really impressive considering the Wii really wasn’t that much more powerful compared to the GameCube.
Yeah they did so many cool techniques to make the game look that good
kimo the fun genius 64 was 30 fps
It is stunning.
If we're talking underrated gems on the Wii, y'all really gotta play Little King's Story, by far my favorite Wii game, didn't use motion controls, and an absolute joy to play.
And no, the PSP/PC ports do not count, they should be erased from existence.
Bulby hey
I know you
Good game but i hated the the controls , it didnt use the wiimote / nunchuk well.
Bulby What's wrong with the pc/psp port?
Oh, my goodness! Someone finally recognized it. *THANK YOU*
PSP port? you mean the Vita sequel? because I played it and it was good despite the anime looking artstyle
Of course, the original was better
2:23 I miss menus like these nowadays.
Scott I'll defend brawl with you I've been playing it since I was 2
Kirby-waddle dee yeah brawl is great
Subspace emissary was really fun
Laughs in melee
2?!
Same. Melee fans don’t understand that Smash is a party game, not fighting. So Brawl is objectively better since it has more content and fulfills the purpose that the series creator wanted it to.
Wow CZcams actually recommended a good channel? Love your vids bro.
How many wii remotes have you broken
Daddy Pickle me: 1 wii mote + 2 nunchucks
1 then subtract by 1 because it was just moldy battery acid and I cleaned it out.
None. They’re indestructible.
Daddy Pickle 2 and 3 nunchucks lolol Currently I have only one left and 1 nunchuck
None surprisingly. Mine have been through hell and worse with kids over several years and still work like a charm. Meanwhile, my left joystick on my Xbox One controller started acting up within a month.
I actually agree with this video. The Wii isn’t a “hardcore” gaming console, but that doesn’t mean its bad. It still has a lot of fun games and features.
It was for me. Fire emblem is certainly a hardcore game
and dkc returns?
Xenoblade Chronicles? Super Mario Galaxy 2? Monster Hunter Tri?
@@youmakenosense7437 I might have worded it badly. The wii has hardcore games, I just think Nintendo aimed the console towards casual gamers in their marketing. I like the Wii I have nothing against it, I played it more than my 360

2017 Scott: Super Mario 25th anniversary was lazy
2020 Nintendo: Let’s be more lazy!!!
You're comparing a Super Mario All-Stars ROM slapped on a disc and sold at retail with a 3D collection that hadn't yet existed *_AND_* a multiplayer version of the first entry in the series, calling the latter pair of releases more lazy. The last of which was taken down intentionally instead of being left up, which arguably takes more effort than just waiting for the servers to stop seeing activity.
*not a great plan.*

@@oliveiradmdiogo I honestly have no idea. All I remember is that I used to play Lego games, Wipe Out and Mario sports games on it.
Now I mainly make Miis, play Mario Kart and Wii Sports with My friends. :/
Black ones with backwards comp were the best
Alternate timeline confirmed...
One of my favorite things about the Wiimote is its speaker and how it was used in some games, it could make surprisingly clear sounding audio, be it sound effects or voices, sure it wasn't ground breaking stuff for most games, but in my opinion it helped enhance the gameplay for at least some games, like LiT and Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident, where you can hear another character talking to you through the Wiimote, giving you more info on what's going on and even some hints. (I'm only listing those two games cause those are the only ones I've played that do that with the Wiimote that stand out to me)
The wii slaps so much, DKC Return, Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Red Steel (Wonky but fun gameplay), and many others that brought my childhood cherished memories
the photos channel just gives me so much 2009-2010 goodness, such a good time in my life
I’m going to be real honest, I spent a lot of my childhood playing Chicken Shot.
I need help.
I actually like that game
This is my most favorite console. I grew up with the Wii. Mario Kart Wii, NSMBW, Wii Sports, Play, Party, and much much more is what was my life back then. Still have it and love it.
I love the Wii. It was underrated. It deserves more love than it has.
I still remember watching my dad playing DK Country Returns back when I was younger. One of my two older sisters played Battle for Bikini Bottom, and I played Wii Fit+, Wii Play, Wii Sports, and a used copy of Mario Kart.
The Wii is still my favorite
Ninja Goon corrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrect
That’s fine
But... But... Super Paper Mario....
Olimar103 Cry everytime with that f*cking ending
Olimar103 No. The story is decent for a Mario game, but the majority of the gameplay is filler and/or tedious.
^
Yeah, i didn't really liked the gameplay of Super Paper Mario. So much so that i ended up quitting after around 5 or so hours of play time. I thought the story was fine up until the point i was at but the shift from turn based gameplay to basically regular Mario gameplay turned me off from the game. My guess is that they didn't want to just to do TTYD again but replacing the turn based gameplay with the gameplay of the main series was not a good idea to me.
I never found the gameplay bad, in fact I enjoyed the game just as much as I did TTYD.
I can’t believe he didn’t mention using a GameCube controller during the controller option part
12:11 Holy Arceus. That logo animation was so nostalgic it actually hurt!
More than that time I was making ramen for the first time and accidentally poured the entire pitcher of boiling hot water on myself!
The channels that used WiiConnect24 are being supported by RiiConnect24 and the online games that used Nintendo WiFi Connection are being supported by Wiimmfi.
What's ur friend code??
You play Donkey Kong Country Returns with the nunchuck? You disgust me.
Subbed.
Gamesforus as opposed to...?
Singular Wii remote, or classic controller
Gamesforus never bought that
Gamesforus in fact, I never bought DKCR either lol
DKCR does not support the Classic controller, unless you mod your Wii to do so or custom configuration while playing on an emulator, both being a pain. I play with a PDP BOSS shell, and it works great.

"The Wii is underrated."
Those two things are unrelated. Lol did you even watch the video? Do you know what underrated means?
wildcaml jumpout The urban dictionary: something or someone not well known by the mass public but of high quality.
wildcaml jumpout However the wii was known by the mass public since it sold 100 millon.
Bonzi Buddy’s better brother You shouldn’t use urban dictionary for reference, unless it’s for modern colloquialisms. If you open up a real dictionary, you’ll see that the actual definition of underrated is, “to rate too low.” Really, you shouldn’t need a dictionary at all, since the word kinda describes itself. A rating has nothing to do with how much exposure something has. But a lot of people know about the Wii, own the Wii, and many of them don’t think very highly of it, despite its positive qualities. Therefore, it’s underrated.
wildcaml jumpout Ok?
You get a like just for mentioning "Tatsunoko vs. Capcom." A Rare Gem of the Wii and incredibly fun to play.

How is one of the most selling consoles ever underrated?
Underrated is not the same as Unknown. When Scott says the wii is underrated, he means that it gets more insults than it deserves.
I mean, count that 90 millions of people who owned a Wii didn't know what a video game console was. So many don't defend it.
Now it isn't underrated, but back in 2017 everybody hated this thing. Is called the nintendo cycle.
And also underrated doesn't mean unknown.
Because sales are just part of that calculation.
god man i remember having an old sd card in my wii that had all of our vacation photos on it and the option to change the orientation of videos in the photo channel actually made my dad get emotional because he could never figure out how to do it on the computer. those are some good memories
You're exactly right. Brawl, Galaxy, Galaxy 2, all of the New Play Control games, last good mainstream Mario Party, the best selling Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country Returns... feel free to add more below.
No more heroes, Metroid Prime 3, Sonic Colors and Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn

Wow. These videos are so informative. Can’t believe I just got my first Wii console at age 47. I also can’t believe that I actually did an internship at electronic arts, but that was definitely a few years before the Wii came out!
I actually really love how the Wiimote and nunchuck combo allowed you to rest your arms by your sides when playing games as opposed to keeping them right together with a standard controller.
I really want to be able to go back and enjoy Wii games, but I just CANNOT stand that pointing and waggling is necessary. It was cool back then, but now it's just irritating. I don't have a good enough PC to emulate the Wii either.
I really wish there was a way to emulate a Wiimote and nunchuck with a GameCube or USB controller on the Wii itself. There is so much in the way of Homebrew for the Wii, but it seems this sort of thing may not be possible.
I've never had a Wii due to the repelling motion control gimmick, but there are games that do interest me. I bought a gaming laptop recently and have been doing research on the Dolphin emulator and if a Dualshock 4 can replace the Wiimote/Nunchuck.
@@kiaba360-4 I have used Dolphin in the past as a sort of proof of concept. Never had a machine that could actual emulate the games at a reasonable pace.
@Supreme Suspender I have a fairly newish laptop. It just doesn't have a good enough GPU.
@@kiaba360-4 Let me guess -- you're interested in VR despite being repelled by the Wii.
@@CoralCopperHead I like watching the evolution of PSVR, but I wouldn't purchase it. I'm one-dimensional. All I want is a console and a controller. No handhelds, no extra peripherals or gimmicks.
Really enjoyed the video as it was really well thought out. Keep up the good work!
All of my thank guys! Love your stuff.
I like how all of the music in this video (aside from the standard closing song) are all from wii games. That's a nice touch.
The Wii and DS are literally my entire childhood
Scott redid his Gamecube video. Time for the Wii next.
I fucking love the Wii. I wish I still had mine. So many great 1st party games, and a ton of hidden gems as well. It's kinda ironic that one of the best selling consoles of all time is one of the most hated and underrated. But the Wii is one console I will always defend to the death. Same with the GameCube.
Finally, someone I can agree with (I still have my Wii and never plan on selling it)
What the fuck it was not hated at all stop ✋ making lies
My other comment aside, Netflix I felt had the better user interface upon it's release on the Wii. It just felt natural using the Wii remote to select, pause, rewind, and fast forward compared to the Xbox 360/PS3.
@Aidan Shoemaker yeah
The Wii is the first and only console I have owned we got it as a prize at our school fundraiser in 2006 I mainly played the sports titles with the game mat, Ballance bord and jump rope but recently got the wheel and the motion Plus adapter I just wish the online services still worked but I guess they can't support it forever and considering that the console has had nothing replaced except for the vga adapter it's held up pretty well for the last 15 years
I've so many great memories with this. Still my favourite console today.
If you didn’t have the homebrew channel then you didn’t experience the wii properly
AussieZimmo3 fr
What's that about the Homebrew Channel?
I had a wii mini
F
*don’t
Because of homebrew channel I’m STILL playing Wii till this day
My Wii never even had an Internet connection
Am I the only one who was the fucking best at wii music (maybe because I was 5/6 but still)
Also there’s like a fuckton more instruments and songs if u search hard enough
I just bought a Wii today! I used to have one way back, but it broke a long while ago. I love how the Wii is coming back through youtube creators such as Poofesure and NicroVeda. Can't wait to play some Wii Sports Resort, and try to get all the stamps!
No one: The IPhone is better than the Old Nokia 3310
Me: 0:02
The wii was my first game console
Kyle Tanking same
Same I remember being hyped when I was 4-5 getting it for my birthday
3ds then wii AND Nintendo switch
Haha XDXD 13 year olds unite!!!11!
Same, at the time I didn't even knew that Playstation was a thing, I still had it plugged in 4 months ago, that would make the console used over 10 years.
Why does everyone shit on the Wii for shovel-ware but just ignore the PS2's glaringly huge library of shovel-ware.
Skullomadness Agreed
Because the Ps2 had a better ratio between good and mediocre games.
+Retro Soul ps2 has like 10 000 games and most of those games were shovelware. PS1, PS2, Wii have the most shovelware but still great consoles if you play the killer apps.
Juan no console has 10,000 games, that is an exaggerated mythical number. Ps1 has around 1,100-1300 games, and the Ps2 has around 1,600-1,800 in my previous research. Still tons of games yes, and of course a percentage of that is shovel-ware but this should put the ratio in a better perspective. By comparison the Snes/Genesis/GameCube deviate around 700.
11:48 I ACTUALLY FUCKING HAVE CHICKEN SHOOT TOO. And I must say, that game has so much shovelware it could dig my have and shove me in it
I love how compact it is. I was able to fit it and a weeks worth of clothes into my backpack when I flew back home from college over a break
