I love a good Wii! Which Wii color is your favorite? The red is pretty slick, but the white is the most nostalgic since it’s what I grew up with.
red wii=goated
@@bridgett_playzaggred best ever pm anything easy goat
Red
White it’s a classic
Bring out the ukele.
Are you seriously the person that kept out bidding me?
lol, he prob did xd
Lol
How much did he pay for it? Also nice, 69 likes.
I would probably be the most ticked off person if I got outbidded and then saw a video on his channel with the product I was trying to buy.
The black Wii with the Japanese case could actually be a Japanese Wii, but flashed with the American Wii Menu which could explain why Wii Sports had an update since some files could be missing after flashing the American Wii Menu, but that might be a bit of a stretch.
That sounds more plausible than just the Japanese disc drive being replaced for an American disc drive, like another comment suggested
I mean, the wii was already on 4.3U (last update for the wii) before he updated it so, makes sense
nah i remember people did that back in the day, system update was one of the symptoms if i remember
@@AmphiumHQ The console is already on the latest Wii Menu version (4.3) which came out in 2010 and Wii Sports came out in 2006 (revision 1 discs in 2007) so there isn't really a reason why it would normally update.
@@auto1lija not sure then, i just remember that being a symptom with some games after changing regions through homebrew
Genuinely surprised none of these had the homebrew channel
fr
So true
Fun fact about the first Wii in the video, you can usually tell what region a console has based on the update version in the top right of the system settings menu at shown at 1:10. At that time stamp, you can see that it says: 4.3U, therefore this is in fact a North American region Wii and hence why it read North American Wii and Gamecube games no problem.
So you are most likely correct that someone strangely did a case swap on this Nintendo Wii with a Japanese Wii for some reason.
Also could be a region swap.
homebrew and region unlock, can make any internals become any region.
also, at 2:50 you can see it says that it detected unauthorized modifications
@@kevinwheeler4061 Not the case. The disc had an update on it; that message is shown as a warning that _if_ the console has unauthorized modifications, the update could remove them. It is shown whenever an update is conducted, whether the console is modded or not.
I once modded a Wii to have a different case. bought on AliExpress and had a Japanese replacement sticker. Might be that simple. @@Tearnalte
Also, you can exceed 24 hours of game time in the logs by leaving something running over night. If you change games just after midnight, and then close just before the next midnight, you can clock nearly 48 hours lol. Source: I used to leave games on over night sometimes.
FIRE HAZARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@YoureARokstarr How is it a fire hazard? Have you ever had a console catch fire?
@@mystraunt2705lol ikr... I mean maybe kind of weird but fwiw not a fire hazard if not leaving it in a unwise or foolishly dusty/flammabke area etc fwiw.
@@YoureARokstarr as long as your console isn't making a weird noises and all of the cables are in decent shape, it's not a fire hazard. trust me, I left my Wii running for about 2 months strait.
The reason for the lack of data on the SD cards is a lot of people thought you needed one for memory to save games or you know etcetera etcetera
The Nextar USA Maps is probably a data card for a car GPS. Those are often what dealers charge $300+ for to enable mapping to the infotainment unit. For it to turn up in a Wii is pretty funny.
My Wii still has its flaps. I think people either remove them if they use the gamecube ports often, or they break off from being left open. More often I hear that they were removed and lost.
I always removed the GC port cover because I always kept my Wavebird recievers in the ports. I just stored the port cover in the Wii box.
My old wiis flaps got loose overtime. never messed with it or anything
That sd card is totally meant to update the maps data for a gps built into a honda Odyssey minivan. Very appropriate to end up in a wii lmao
If you leave the Wii on for over a day straight, it will just say 23:59 for whatever was open on the day that it was closed.
Ohh gotcha, thanks for the info
fyi the wii can get system updates from discs if the owner didnt have wifi
Netflix on the wii after highschool, every day
5:11 I have no doubt that this is the Wii that my mum sold that belonged to my father and did not authorize her to sell (classic case of “I want weed and beer money but your child support money isn’t enough”)
what makes you think that?
@@ek8710 maybe the beads?
Finding a GameCube game in a Wii is like having a curly fry in a basket of regular fries.
The boy probably tried inserting the SD card from his mom’s camera to use up the storage but couldn’t figure out how to delete those photos 💀
I remember seeing this on the stores. It was Mario - Red - edition, sold at the same time s Super Mario 25th Anniversary Limited edition.
we used to have a local DJ named deuce that i hated, i always would call in the radio station when he was on and yell "drop the DEUCE!" and hang up lol
😂😂
My wii was bought at launch or shortly after launch, like late 2006 or early 2007, i don't exactly remember, but I still have the 2 flaps on the top of the wii. My wii is like around 17 years old, and it still works perfectly fine, other than the disc drive sounds like it needs some oil replacement on the gears, but other than that my wii is still fully functional.
If you haven't had the idea already it would be cool if you put "Let's plug it in and see if it works." On some merch.
That’s funny 😂
Thanks man! Been watching every upload for quite a while. Love your stuff! Great to relax to when I get home from work.
My Wii has both flaps and actually looked like the GameCube controller port was never used. It was also in great condition too. It wasn’t complete though but it wasn’t a bad deal. I eventually got the parts that were missing for cheap anyways. Still no box though
My flaps being intact are also probably because I rarely used the GameCube ports
@@jrob0021 I used to have an original Wii when I was young. Never even knew it was GameCube compatible then so that does happen sometimes. That Wii was sold for the Wii U back then that I also don’t have anymore since back then my parents always sold a console for the newest one. Atleast now I don’t have to do that anymore.
@@PikachuLover0927switch to PS4 be like:
I was lucky and bought a GC backwards compatible Wii a few years ago from good will for $40 and it was pretty much never used.
Someone bought it for that balance board, used it a few times and just stop using it. it didn't have a single scratch on the case and both doors are on it (they still are).
I soft modded it and put all my games on a USB HDD, slapped Nintendont on it so I wouldn't have to use the GameCube ports.
I'm still rocking the original Wii I got as a kid when they first came out lmao both flaps still on it and it's now modded with a 128GB SD card in it. A lot of the local ones on marketplace are missing the flaps though and I genuinly don't know how they get lost, mine has been moved 6 times and has sustained exactly zero damage.
You mean you MoVeD it!? The Oils on your fingers have TaRniShEd tHe Wii FiNisH!
Man I was high af when I said that ion even remember 🤣😭
I broke the flaps of my wii within like 1 year of use
i remember streaming and having to use the netflix disc. also had the SD card setup with emulators. low-key watching to see if somehow my old wii wound up in your haul😆
A few years ago, I picked up a red Wii from a local thrift store for $40- came with a second matching red Wiimote and two red nunchucks. Worked perfectly, and it's in pretty good shape.
9:22 Jiga Tech quivering in envy as he sees that someone has ISpy Spooky Mansion
I used my Wii for (local) streaming right from the very beginning. There was some software for PC that would let you serve video files off your hard drive through a web interface over your LAN that you could open in the Wii browser by putting the IP address of your PC in the address bar. We used it to play downloaded anime fansubs, etc on the living room TV.
In 2008, when I first got my Wii, I watched quite a bit of Netflix on it. It was the easiest way to stream it on my TV at the time.
I have a red Wii, and honestly, I absolutely love it. It's just so normal to see the white or black ones, so having the different color is so nice.
Wjy do few comsoles from nintendo have fwiw during the wii era have many colors vs the other nintnedo consoles fro mwhat I have foudn on internet images fwiw, of various videogames.
13:33 BRO A MASS EFFECT REFERENCE LETS GO
9:17 i loved build and race as a kid, u got to build race tracks and then, surprise, race on them. the racing part wasnt super great but the building ur own tracks bit was sweet haha
Anyone else notice that one of the aquaintances at 11:04 was desmond miles from assassins creed lol they seem to have played multiple consoles. a true gamer.
Bro. Loved the Texas Load. Been enjoying the Hampton Haul. Next time, don't have the tweezers ready before you diagnose the issue
We had a couple Wii’s growing up, we used to use Netflix on it to stream and play our games. As a kid I fell in love with SSB Brawl
My og launch wii still works perfectly to this day and still has all the flaps
KING BOB... also the red wii came with Mario Bros Wii in a sleeve when it came factory. Unfortunate you didnt get it. When i bought my launch WIi, it had an issue when i bought Super Smash Bros when it released, it had an issue with not being compatible with Duel Layer DVDs for the games. I had to send it into Nintendo to get it replaced.
I still have the flap on my Wii! My high school AP Calculus teacher gave it to me when she retired🤣
My grandparents have a launch Wii and it surprisingly still has its flaps
Love this channel and now I’m mad at myself for not getting a Wii. I never knew they played GameCube games.
Not all Wiis work with GameCube games so be careful when buying a Wii so that you get the older model that has the GameCube support.
1000% expected the piece of paper to say ‘pls subscribe and hit the bell’ when you pulled it out 😂
to check for a modded wiii hold reset to see if it has priiloader installed which is a pretty common tool for changing the wii's region and dashboard as far as im aware
Ooh hehe fwiw just out of mere hope for it to be modded.. imma do that to both my wii fam editions/both my wiis and hope soemthign cool occurs.
@@bsanchez3563you could also mod them yourself, it's not hard to do nowadays
9:01 I did this as a kid. They’re probably still on my old Wii 😂
I really hope you use a VM or something when plugging in random cards/USB drives. 😭But great video, man!
Great video lad keep up the good work
I bought my Wii a few months back because our Wii broke in like 2014 and we got rid of it. My Wii had no flaps when I bought it so I just purchased some aftermarket flaps and replaced the missing ones.
My Wii, which I got new when I was a kid, still has the flaps and works great. It is the Super Mario Bros 25th Anniversary red wii.
Texas haul and hampton haul so entertaining
0:22 finally someone that played Boating Bash
my wii for some reason the gamecube controller flap hinge is very loose and comes off relatively easily. I had all flaps but then i left it with my friend for a month or so and he returned it without a flap lol. Only recently bought replacement flaps from aliexpress
same
Man this console is my childhood I have a black backwards compatible Wii with soft mods to play and burn GameCube Iso's . I had 32 classic GC games that i ended up selling for 700$ to build a gaming pc. but i got my Iso's its hard to get these looking good on a modern tv its 480p i mean like wish it at least pushed 720p. up scaling is a hassle man. I gotta get a crt tv with component hookups for it to look its best like its designed for it right
Wouldn't surprise me if whoever put that Mario Kart Wii disc in upside down just accidentally tested the Wii upside down. I mean, unlike the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (or pretty much any other game console), its obvious when the system is upside down. But not so much with the Wii. It really was the first system that looks normal when upside down (the Wii U would also appear rather normal upside down)
True
The Wii U is an oval
@@YoungMrBlue but other than rubber feet on the bottom of it, it could accidentally be placed upside down....its not like the PS3 where it can't sit flat upside down or the xbox 360 where it would be obvious its upside down when you eject the disk tray...
The ps5 (vertically )messed me up when I first got it as well.
lol @ the first Wii asking to update when it's on the latest version
I lost the original Gamecube port covers on my Wii, since I played Gamecube games fairly often, but I got new ones a few years ago.
12:22 ooh fwiw the first year or two of having my wii I recall it had netflix that was useful on it fiww quite nice to think it was even able to do thst sort of stuff on the wii.
those wiis that was actively used with those channels like netflix and hulu, in particular the one with photo's really make you think when they were used actively in their prime.
how do you replace the TV/Capture Card "no signal" screen with The Hampton Haul logo?
Yessss a Wii dedicated vid 🤘🏾
at 11:16 it looks like the sim that was being played's name was Desmond Miles 😄
I think the Buck Wii might be a reference to a character Eddie Murphy used to do on Saturday Night Live, called Buckwheat. The character couldn't quite form words correctly when speaking, so Buckwheat becomes Buckwee/Wii.
Oddessy maps sounds like something that came from a Honda Odyssey Head unit
At least my Wii has 50 or more mii's, and there not from the check mii out channel, i didnt know it existed :), 2012 me missed out on getting mii's.
My Wii still has all the flaps but the gamcube ports flap is always loose for some reason. I'd love to see you look through my collection of Miis. Some pretty creative ones on there.
6:07 that is SD card for a vehicle, integrated navigation system. And when you opened it up on your computer, I’m going to assume since it says Odyssey that it’s for a Honda Odyssey.
8:55 LMAOAOAOAOA
I was pretty high when I first watched his videos and now I am addicted to his yt and not addicted to drugs
I do have all the flaps on my Wii. In fact, mine is a red one; those were the Mario 20th Anniversary special edition models. They also come with red WiiMote+ and nunchuck. The sensor bar, cables, and PSU were all the regular grey though.
I need one of those wii flaps, my sd card flap for my black wii is missing.
My wii has the flaps missing because I use my wii mainly for GC games, and because GC controllers are wired, it has seen the floor several times. On that note, I'm not surprised every wii you tested worked since those things are pretty undestructible. I've had my wii since I was 10, almost 20 years ago.
My wii got both flaps still, but the gamecube controller flap is missing the pieces to connect it to the console. I don't even remember how that happened.
I've got two of these things. One has flaps. Both have what they came with-bought 'em used. I've seen a couple red NSMB Wii units, but what I haven't seen is the blue Skylanders Wii. If I saw one I might pick it up (assuming flaps intact.)
On the Japanese wii with english, I was gifted a japanese wii, and this was like 20 years bck so I honestly couldn't tell you how I did it, but among all my modding files I was able to format my wii and make it a north american wii (so if you opened mine, you'd probably see the same type of thing)
It was doable! (but also super risky)
Nice vid! So what did you find out of the ordinary? I'm referring to your video title here.
Mine still has the flaps on it but I never used it that often. I'm not understanding why so many of them are missing the flaps lol.
They had Netflix on... For 5 hours... On a Valentine's Day. Bro was busy LMAO
I used streaming channels on my Wii because it was essentially my replacement for a DVD player, and my TV at the time wasn't compatible with HDMI.
12:49 Daylight Saving ended Nov. 3rd in 2013. I doubt the owner was even aware of this feat. How cool.
I have 3 Wiis, 2 of them still have both flaps. The other only has one flap though. I never used streaming on the Wii either, I wouldn't have even known how to do it anyway.
The flaps are actually made to be removable and could easily be removed. I guess they never popped them back when they fell off. My Wii's still have flaps.
10:50 IS MY WII!!!
JIMMY AND JACKIE RAN OVER AS SOON AS I TOLD THEM I GOT A WII AND WE ALL MADE OUR OWN MIIS
Yeah, I took the port covers off my Wii, since I would frequently use it for GameCube games. Not sure where I put them now.
I'm guessing the SD card was a GPS update for a Honda Odyssey. I had an old Rogue that had a similar thing.
I accidentally watched the whole video and I still have no idea what the THIS is that you found.
plot twist: the red wii is his wii
yes everyone used the Wii as back up streaming devices in guest rooms or Dens. it was the main use late in its life. Once they ended Netflix support everyone threw them out.
feels like this happens every time I buy 48 wii consoles
red wii at 11:30
I personally got rid of my flaps cause I exclusively played GameCube and hated the look of them open
YES we got da flaps 🎉 8:03
I have the black Wii console and the flaps are still in place haha
11:31 im having a red wii right beside me, bought it in 2008 and its working fine but i did not use it in the last 5 years or so, i will never give it away
My Wii be flappin.
Everything was broken on my Wii because it fell off its perch so many times..the GameCube controllers had such short cables. Flaps gone, disc drive broken. But everything was fine because I loaded games from USB lol
My childhood Wii has the original controller port flap but the memory card flap is not the original, got a replacement on Nintendo's website in 2013
I safely removed my wii's game cube flaps to prevent damage by either the cord resting on them or if I so happened to bump into the wii.
Since I have a WiiU for Wii games, I really wish it came with Gamecube support. That way, I wouldn't need my GC and EON adapter to play GC in HD.
What was everyone doing during lockdown? Playing with their wii lol
duuuude i just bought a wii from a Savers for 20 bucks and the only things wrong with it were busted hinges for the gamecube ports and the fact it had the wrong region's plug. what's kinda funny is one of the miis that were still on it on it has my name
it was meant to be!
I’ve got my Wii from sometime shortly after launch and still have flaps and all original accessories. The only thing I’ve replaced was the sensor bar because it broke
The red wii is is the red mario 25th anniversary edition. It came with new super mario bros wii and wii sports.
So the Odyssey Maps is most likely an SD card for the GPS system in a Honda Odyssey. Either that, or that was the brand that made the map apps.
I'm genuinely shocked that you don't see the homebrew channel popup more and the bannerbomb\letterbomb emails that softlock the wii when opened unless you have what it wants on the sd card.
