If only the year I died had PokéPark 2 in it... Edited by Sam Essig and Scott Wozniak Main Channel: @ScottTheWoz Twitter: / scottthewoz Facebook: / scottthewoz Instagram: / scottthewoz
Pokepark 2 player here, This is literally one of my favorite Pokemon spinoffs period. An improvement from the first game in every way (and the first game by itself was super fun too), I really hope they bring Pokepark back one day
Not every way, I loved it but the large quantity and variety of minigames in the first was fun, especially with the different Pokémon you could use for them
i’m glad to see i ain’t the only pokepark fan out there. definitely agree that they should bring it back someday, that’d be a child’shood dream come true
I adore both games but I will say there’s some stuff the first does way better. For one the world feels much more interconnected. We get that for the areas in pokepark 2 but not for all of them together. The first has a greater variety if mini games and challenges. The second one is much better at charm and area design with lots of interesting set pieces. The biggest issue with pokepark 2 is definitely that one hole in the back of lakeshore fuck that hole why can’t I see what’s in that hole??!!!
But uh oh its obviously aimed at a younger audience compared to whatever Zelda was doing last year, which isnt something that pleases the MALE G*mer CZcams space at the time.😰😰 Hopefully no prominent douchebag CZcamsr does a "Lets Fail" of it and ruins its reputation of it for the next few years💀💀
PokéPark 2 is actually a fairly competent and unique action RPG. I know that may sound crazy to those who didn't grow up on it or played it, but it has a lot to offer as a experience beyond it being "Pokémon but you ARE the Pokémon!!". Highly recommend it even if you have little knowledge of the series itself
Here's what you're thinking: Just get Scarlet/Violet + The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, there in Blueberry you get the Synchro Machine so you can be able to control one of your favorite Pokémon including Oshawott! That's the first modern core series game that introduced that cool feature (part of The Indigo Disk in the v3.0.0 update).

Poképark is my childhood game, I’ve probably played through one and two at least five times each. Something about it is just so comforting that any other Pokémon games can’t capture. It’s like, the true essence of it.
I used to own Flingsmash back when I was a kid. I sold it in 2019 for like 72 cents, later that year I discovered Scott the Woz. I instantly started to regret my decision and just got it again over the weekend for $3. Yippee
The best thing about the Lincoln cliffhanger in Conduit 2 was that it wasn't just there to be random, it actually made sense in the story. The bad guy across both games is John Adams, the 2nd President.
My sister and cousins religiously play fortune street everytime they come over. It’s been a tradition for us. Knowing that there are newer versions of the game has me going crazy cause we’ve been playing the Wii version for over 10 years
Same I love Fortune Street but my Wii sounds like it wants to be free from this mortal coil every time I turn it on now. Even a switch port at this point would be amazing.
Bro the memories of playing poke park 2 just hit me with such a wave of nostalgia. It hurts in a good way and I miss that error and I want to go back to it.
He's very honest about it. Nothing but love for Scott. He's trying to recount history and preserve it so we move forward better and I'm here for it. In Scott we trust!
The N64's final years did have some big releases, like Perfect Dark, Majora's Mask, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Turok 3. They weren't all last year of N64, but close (all 2000-2001). There weren't a lot of big games, but there were still some good ones.
Perfect dark felt like old news when half life came out around the same time, like perfect dark and 007 felt like old beaters while half life felt like a modern car that is great to use
@@staringcorgi6475 True, but Half Life was on PC, which was a totally different world compared with consoles. There were some ports, like Quake and Hexen, but usually, consoles and computers weren't compared. Half Life would get on the PS2, but that would be the next generation. Perfect Dark still was an amazing shooter experience on the console, and compared to other console shooters, was impressive.
@@Shrapnel82 the pc is where fps games were great while for consoles at the time they were games that aged rather horribly today and feel rudimentary like imagine controlling a shooter game with that mistake of a controller at least it’s mitigated with dual controllers but still.
Conduit 2 was a gem with an active online community. It was also the first fps I convinced my mom that "It's rated T for Teen & the enemies aren't people they're aliens" so it was quite special to me but in hindsight the gunplay was unique (alien tech guns). It was like Halo for the wii.

Just dance released on Wii for so long because so many nursery homes had wiis and they wanted to let old people exercise Literally released not even to make a profit lmao
It took me 7('07-'14) years to get a Wii and when i finally got it i went to the Redbox across the street to see what games they had for it and every time it was just Penguins of Madagascar while the other systems kept getting different games
I have to give you mad props for mentioning Operation Rainfall. Not a-lot of people remember how lucky we are to have most JRPGS. And the trilogy of Xenoblade games is directly as a result of this Operation.
My favorite thing about "The Final Years of Wii", it was a two Kirby games was a last Nintendo published games going to 2011-2012 11:47 Kirby's Return to Dream Land (2011) 32:58 Kirby's Dream Collection (2012)
@@user-zw3on4bx2tit did some things right and had decent spectacle to it, but the gameplay gets stale quickly and the story is a lackluster retread in addition to coming across as a character assassination for a previously silent protagonist (ymmv). The disappointment really sets in when you realize how much potential was left on the table almost entirely as a result of directorial choices. Fan backlash might have been harsh, but not unreasonably so.
Pokepark 2 is actually a good Game. Sure it's not hard, but it has some really good quality in animations and visuals, relising it's on Wii. The Pokemon even has voices (say there names) what the Main Games still don't have (exept Pikachu)
Man, I remember seeing Mario Party 9’s trailer. My naive and young 9 year old mind really thought, “Wow! Everyone in a car? This is completely different! It’s gotta be cool!” I dropped the game after three turns.
Meanwhile I can't wait for the 3DS version of this video to hear him trash on Island Tour (I forget when exactly it came out in the 3DS' life-span but still), which was more-or-less my on-ramp to the series - besides DS, DS was great I just didn't own the copy I played Island Tour's a bit of a guilty pleasure for me at this point but I cannot deny that it really suffers from the post-Hudson feel that started with 9
@lordmarshmal_0643 Island Tour came out in 2013, so pretty early (same year as Pokémon X & Y, A Link Between Worlds). The Top 100 and maybe Star Rush would be in that video though.
Mario Party 9's a weird case for me, because it does most things right and actually has a lot going for it. However, the one thing it does wrong is the core gameplay loop, which kind of kills the experience.
How could you not like Pokepark 2, it has Oshawott in it! ...oh, right. Not a Pokemon guy... ... ...IT HAS OSHAWOTT IN IT! (Meanwhile I never played it myself)
I still believe that Skyward Sword is the best Zelda in terms of story. The gameplay is definitely not everyone's cup of tea though (I personally enjoyed it though). Also Scott being a fan of Back to the Future makes me happy.
The story is bad though? People confuse the relationship between Zelda and Link as the story, when that's not the story. The story of Skyward Sword is Link going around doing fetch quests while going after Zelda while being pursued by Girahim, that's the actual story and it sucks. Games like Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess had far better stories.
Scott hit the nail on the head with Mario Sports Mix. I loved the game as a kid, and quite literally this morning I was replaying it and after beating every CPU by 40+ points, I can confirm the game is very simple and repetitive. Super Sluggers, on the other hand, holds up as the 10/10 I remember.
super sluggers is worse than sports mix. the motion controls are genuinely dysfunctional despite the entire game hinging on them, and the adventure mode is straight up boring. at least sports mix is _competent_ at achieving what it set out to do.
@@jclkaytwo calling Super Sluggers story mode boring is so wild when it's the best in the entire Mario Sports series. Running around completing scout missions from each character, unlocking them as you go. Each in these nicely designed puzzle areas themed after the characters. It's peak Mario Sports. Compare that to Sports Mix which the story mode is literally just mercy-ing the CPUs in a glorified tournament. The motion controls work just as well as any other Wii game
Well once you know what you’re doing it’s not really like you have to do more You should change the difficulty although playing with friends makes it a lot of fun. Do a tournament on hard
I got my wii christmas 2011 and didn’t know the wii u existed until 2018. I just played the classic wii games like wii sports, mario, and a couple disney or toy themed games. My dad told me recently when he bought the wii then he was nervous because he saw a new console was coming out but is glad he didn’t buy a wii u lol
Skyward Sword, Return to Dreamland, Xenoblade Chronicles, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and Epic Mickey aren’t what I would call a “long slow death” for the Wii.
Mario Party 9's biggest problem is that it's called Mario Party and not Kirby Party or Pokemon Party or something. It's fun, and has just as much bullcrap as regular Mario Party. It's just different bullcrap.
When I was a kid, I spent so much time on pokepark 1 and 2. One of the ending levels, I think it was for 1 but it could have been 2, you have to win a race against mew. I spent so much time trying to beat that little fetus
pokepark 2 was my first console video game and even i understand that the fun i had playing it every day for like a year was more "wow! games exist!" than anything pokepark 2 actually did for itself
Great video as always!! I actually remember playing Conduit 2 back in the day and loved it! The online competitive multiplayer worked really well and there was a super fun wave-based local co-op survival mode that I played with my brother. Such fond memories of that game.
I don't know which surprises me more: Scott not owning Conduit 2, Scott's favorite movie being Back To The Future, or Scott actually makimg progress in Fire Emblem Engage.
I remember buying several of these games like pokepark 2, Mario sports mix and Kirby’s return to dreamland. They’re actually some really solid games here. I know the Wii started to fad but i’d reccomend some for fun, return to dreamland is goated like everyone knows now
For me, the final years of the Nintendo Wii were only focused on Operation Rainfall games that consisted of Xenoblade Chronicles, Last Story and Pandora's Tower.
In regard to Pokepark 2. My comments are. It's fun. But pretty short (Even with the postgame stuff) though thankfully you don't need cheat codes for the post game stuff like the first game.
Can't watch video right now, but I'll be PISSED if there's any Pokepark slander Edit: I am currently gathering my fellow PokePark enjoyers for the Ohio raid
Lego Batman 2 was released for the Wii U a year later after the initial release, lego LOTR could've been legos first Wii U title, and one of the first Wii U titles, however that got scrapped, so it's on the Wii.
7:40 Just wanted to add somwthing quickly to this game, the best fun i had with it was the story mode since the entire bracket isnt just 3D made for the sake of it, but it actually is an explorable map that occasionally opens side options (mostly minigames really) but it allows you to unlock certain costumes and characters (mostly from Final Fantasy) and a cool boss (which has a reskinned version that you fight on harder difficulty but yea). So think of this, for how boring it is at least you get to fight a gigantic Final Fantasy boss by slam dunking on his head (with a space rock)
It's a shame that the Skyward Sword remaster on the Switch was met with so much controversy because of the price and the amiibo implementation, this was already a very divisive game and it didn't needed more bad marketing, SS has probably the best story out of all Zelda games and also has some of the best dungeons of the franchise, it could've been a great game to play between BOTW and TOTK since both games lacked in those aspects, but I feel like this remaster was heavily ignored
Cap, Mario party 9 is one of my favourites. The story mode: elite. The unlockable stages: elite. The magical feeling of collecting the mini stars: elite. Goated game
As someone who got a Wii for christmas in 2010, these years are very nostalgic for me. Tons of fond memories playing Skyward Sword, Lego Harry Potter, Kirby's Dream Collection, Skylanders, Epic Mickey, and Rayman Origins.
2012-2016. The worst time to be a Nintendo fan. Even then, we still got Uprising and Planet Robobot. Nintendos worst is still better than some developers best.
Not the dark age of Nintendo, actually. The 2010, I believe, was the beginning of the dark age for the ENTIRE ENTERTAINEMENT INDUSTRY... imo, as a teen.

Meanwhile I can't wait for the 3DS version of this video to hear him trash on Island Tour (I forget when exactly it came out in the 3DS' life-span but still), which was more-or-less my on-ramp to the series - besides DS, DS was great I just didn't own the copy I played
Island Tour's a bit of a guilty pleasure for me at this point but I cannot deny that it really suffers from the post-Hudson feel that started with 9
we all got gimmick’ed! Lol
@lordmarshmal_0643 Island Tour came out in 2013, so pretty early (same year as Pokémon X & Y, A Link Between Worlds). The Top 100 and maybe Star Rush would be in that video though.
I played past 3 turns and playing thousands of turns because I’m a minority this is my favourite Mario party
Mario Party 9's a weird case for me, because it does most things right and actually has a lot going for it. However, the one thing it does wrong is the core gameplay loop, which kind of kills the experience.
Nintendo makes a region locked console and then get mad when people mod their console to allow it to play region locked games 😬
Well, yeah it's locked for a reason
How could you not like Pokepark 2, it has Oshawott in it!
...oh, right. Not a Pokemon guy...
...
...IT HAS OSHAWOTT IN IT!
(Meanwhile I never played it myself)
Oshawatt is so cool in the game he's cute and confident and is the defacto leader since Pikachu's ass doesn't speak at all super tight
@@louishelms8562im so happy theres so many pokepark fans here in the comments lol
25:59 yeah well maybe you didn’t matter to the Wii’s lineup did you ever think about that white boy
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Kirby's Epic Yarn was so good
I still believe that Skyward Sword is the best Zelda in terms of story. The gameplay is definitely not everyone's cup of tea though (I personally enjoyed it though). Also Scott being a fan of Back to the Future makes me happy.
The story is bad though? People confuse the relationship between Zelda and Link as the story, when that's not the story. The story of Skyward Sword is Link going around doing fetch quests while going after Zelda while being pursued by Girahim, that's the actual story and it sucks. Games like Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess had far better stories.
The amount of comments of Poképark defenders is hilarious (it's me, I'm Poképark defenders)
Bruh i love pokepark2...
Scott hit the nail on the head with Mario Sports Mix. I loved the game as a kid, and quite literally this morning I was replaying it and after beating every CPU by 40+ points, I can confirm the game is very simple and repetitive. Super Sluggers, on the other hand, holds up as the 10/10 I remember.
super sluggers is worse than sports mix. the motion controls are genuinely dysfunctional despite the entire game hinging on them, and the adventure mode is straight up boring. at least sports mix is _competent_ at achieving what it set out to do.
@@jclkaytwo calling Super Sluggers story mode boring is so wild when it's the best in the entire Mario Sports series. Running around completing scout missions from each character, unlocking them as you go. Each in these nicely designed puzzle areas themed after the characters. It's peak Mario Sports. Compare that to Sports Mix which the story mode is literally just mercy-ing the CPUs in a glorified tournament. The motion controls work just as well as any other Wii game
@@earthboundman5 oh boy... scout missions and puzzles... exactly what a sports game needs...
@@jclkaytwo are you dumb?
Well once you know what you’re doing it’s not really like you have to do more
You should change the difficulty although playing with friends makes it a lot of fun.
Do a tournament on hard
I got my wii christmas 2011 and didn’t know the wii u existed until 2018. I just played the classic wii games like wii sports, mario, and a couple disney or toy themed games. My dad told me recently when he bought the wii then he was nervous because he saw a new console was coming out but is glad he didn’t buy a wii u lol
I went over to my friends house and her brother had a wii u and I just said “why does your switch look like that”
I got mine for christmas 2012💯
24:29 do not diss pokepark.
people who diss pokepark = creeps
I will not tolerate pokepark 2 slander
Skyward Sword, Return to Dreamland, Xenoblade Chronicles, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and Epic Mickey aren’t what I would call a “long slow death” for the Wii.
Most of those fames are 2010-2011
Mario Party 9's biggest problem is that it's called Mario Party and not Kirby Party or Pokemon Party or something. It's fun, and has just as much bullcrap as regular Mario Party. It's just different bullcrap.
Indeed.
When I was a kid, I spent so much time on pokepark 1 and 2. One of the ending levels, I think it was for 1 but it could have been 2, you have to win a race against mew. I spent so much time trying to beat that little fetus
pokepark 2 was my first console video game and even i understand that the fun i had playing it every day for like a year was more "wow! games exist!" than anything pokepark 2 actually did for itself
pokepark was my childhood, love that game to death, both of them
same here
Great video as always!! I actually remember playing Conduit 2 back in the day and loved it! The online competitive multiplayer worked really well and there was a super fun wave-based local co-op survival mode that I played with my brother. Such fond memories of that game.
I don't know which surprises me more: Scott not owning Conduit 2, Scott's favorite movie being Back To The Future, or Scott actually makimg progress in Fire Emblem Engage.
I remember buying several of these games like pokepark 2, Mario sports mix and Kirby’s return to dreamland. They’re actually some really solid games here. I know the Wii started to fad but i’d reccomend some for fun, return to dreamland is goated like everyone knows now
For me, the final years of the Nintendo Wii were only focused on Operation Rainfall games that consisted of Xenoblade Chronicles, Last Story and Pandora's Tower.
In regard to Pokepark 2. My comments are. It's fun. But pretty short (Even with the postgame stuff) though thankfully you don't need cheat codes for the post game stuff like the first game.
newer generations of consoles don’t understand how much joy the wii brought us.
Soon as I saw Pokepark 2 all I could think about was the commercial song.
Poképark 2 is good, better than Poképark 1, I'd rather play either of them before USUM or SwSh, and I'd play Poképark 2 over SV
Both pokeparks to this day are of higher quality than SV... which is sad.
Pokepark 2 best open world Pokémon game 😅
Can't watch video right now, but I'll be PISSED if there's any Pokepark slander
Edit: I am currently gathering my fellow PokePark enjoyers for the Ohio raid
Kirby's Dream Collection was one hell of a final bow for the Wii! Such an amazing game.
Lego Batman 2 was released for the Wii U a year later after the initial release, lego LOTR could've been legos first Wii U title, and one of the first Wii U titles, however that got scrapped, so it's on the Wii.
Scott did NOT expect the Pokepark 2 fans
idk, I completed PokéPark 2 100% for some reason
pokepark 2 is the greatest game of all tome
1:22 Majora Mask e Paper Mario was also released on N64 final year.
"This is some shit you don't think about until you bring it up in therapy". Absolute gold lmao.
all i think of wii 2011-2012: kirby games(return to dreamland & the 20th ann collecttion), operation rainstorm games, & pokepark 2
7:40 Just wanted to add somwthing quickly to this game, the best fun i had with it was the story mode since the entire bracket isnt just 3D made for the sake of it, but it actually is an explorable map that occasionally opens side options (mostly minigames really) but it allows you to unlock certain costumes and characters (mostly from Final Fantasy) and a cool boss (which has a reskinned version that you fight on harder difficulty but yea).
So think of this, for how boring it is at least you get to fight a gigantic Final Fantasy boss by slam dunking on his head (with a space rock)
2011-2012 was one of the videogame periods of all time.
It's a shame that the Skyward Sword remaster on the Switch was met with so much controversy because of the price and the amiibo implementation, this was already a very divisive game and it didn't needed more bad marketing, SS has probably the best story out of all Zelda games and also has some of the best dungeons of the franchise, it could've been a great game to play between BOTW and TOTK since both games lacked in those aspects, but I feel like this remaster was heavily ignored
Not by me.
Pokepark 1 so much fun back in the day but I never played 2
It’s got more going for it. Can play as snivy, tepig and Oshawott and collesium mode is fun for fights
Cap, Mario party 9 is one of my favourites. The story mode: elite. The unlockable stages: elite. The magical feeling of collecting the mini stars: elite. Goated game
Perfect Easter viewing. I love these videos.
I actually really want to play Pokepark! Being able to be a pokemon is something i want in the real games. Yellow is still the best pokemon
You can always play the mystery dungeon games if you want to play as a Pokémon recomend explorers of sky
If it’s pokepark 2 might be better than 1
As someone who got a Wii for christmas in 2010, these years are very nostalgic for me. Tons of fond memories playing Skyward Sword, Lego Harry Potter, Kirby's Dream Collection, Skylanders, Epic Mickey, and Rayman Origins.
POKEPARK 2 LET'S GOOOO WOOOOOOO BABY YEAHHHH MY WONDERS ARE BEYOND.
Edit: :(
My rage goes far BEYOND normal limits! I WONDER if anyone else feels this way!! >:((((((
Pokepark 2 is gods gift to the earth. Pokemons specialist little guy. Nothinv will ever be better than it as it is peak gaming
Another awesome video I love talking about random stuff like this
Thank you, scott, perfect timing
Gonna go to Home Depot and tell them I want the Scott the Woz carpet
This is the main channel now.
The thing I like about Scott is that even if he's already discussed a particular topic in detail he still will talk about it briefly
I didn't expect to learn about back to the future the MUSICAL from Scott the Woz of all sources but here we are
The wait for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom was about as agonizing as the wait for the the project rainfall games. 2008 JP to 2010 NA
The final 2 years of the wii were definitely the beginning of the dark age of nintendo imo
2012-2016. The worst time to be a Nintendo fan.
Even then, we still got Uprising and Planet Robobot. Nintendos worst is still better than some developers best.
Not the dark age of Nintendo, actually.
The 2010, I believe, was the beginning of the dark age for the ENTIRE ENTERTAINEMENT INDUSTRY... imo, as a teen.
@@Chaki21 that's probably more accurate.
@@user-zw3on4bx2t even sticker star had some charm
@@user-zw3on4bx2t uprising and planet robobot are nintendo's _worst?_
To be fair, Conker’s Bad Fur Day released in the N64s final year, and it was arguably one of the consoles greatest games
