Nintendo got lucky with the Wii despite it being extremely underpowered and becoming obsolete almost immediately after releasing. By the time the Wii U dropped, smartphones and mobile gaming entered the scene, taking over the casual audience the Wii catered to. All the “hardcore” gamers stayed with Sony and Microsoft, so Nintendo got left in the dust. The switch is the same, except it sold well because of its mobility

BECAUSE THEY RERELEASED THE SAME GAMES ON A SHITTY UNDERPOWERED SMALL HYBRID PIECE OF SHEIT

11:19 why does the blue controller only have an analog stick and the red controller 3 analog sticks💀

I like the ads they are funny

From my perspective, Nintendo did a poor job at establishing what the Wii U was, and differentiating it enough from the Wii to have its own unique identity. That why it was initially written off as just another Wii model. What also makes matters worse now is that a majority of the first party titles released on the Wii U have been expanded, remade, or remastered for the Nintendo Switch. This basically nullifies any need to own a Wii U.

The wii u failed having 2006 ps3 hardware in 2013 with the PS4 and xbox being better,there was no gimmick with the wii u you couldn't take the gamepad with you outside and play on the go,had no major big games lkke botw,mario oddesy, kirby and the forgotten land and etc and the wii u's games besides mario kart 8 deluxe felt more like upgraded wii games not new games

Pokémon go lost me, but slowly got me back end 2018 and i am still playing but not a lot at this point. Fire Emblem Heroes started simple, but is way to complex for beginners at this point due to powercreep. The game has mostly veterans and does not really attract new people anymore. But i love the game mostly for the art now. Dragalia had my interest, but was not released in the EU. I think it was a few times teased as coming soon or next year or something like that but then never came. Great video

The Switch was so bad I sold it a few weeks later not sure how it was ever a success, shame the few good games are wasted on poor hardware

WiiU was tethered to a console and the Switch is the whole package. And why the hell would you name your next generation console the SAME NAME as the previous?

This reminds me that Switch 2 might be a beefed up Switch which sounds quite worrisome.

WIIU IS THE ULTIMATE VIRTUAL CONSOLE!!!!! It can play n64,NDS,SNES,Turbo Grafx,GBA,WII and if you hack it even plays Game Cube. Suck it Nintendo!!!!

I still got mine its homebrewed now and i play it all the time

The switch is just Wii U minus Wii. By 2012 people were over the Wii. They didn’t really want a successor if they still had it so with a 3DS closing up shop by 2017 it was a perfect time for the switch.

Im always gonna say that Splatoon was one of the things that made the wii U good and memorable

Wii u = inferior to psp Switch = better than psp

Because I grew up with it

Nintendo wii and the 360 are the goats forever in my mind

I was so confused by what the WiiU was. Even many players were unsure. It sounded and looked like some sort of handheld Wii add on and I remember ignoring the commercials thinking ‘why would I want that’. i was also deep into xbox at that point. Being a teenager, even when I got a good look at the WiiU in a store finally, I pretty much ignored it.

Yoo! This is a great video! Looking forward to watching the rest of your content!

Watching this while playing Mario Kart Wii in the first time in years

You guys are so pathetic.

The wii was sm fun to play with many people, we really played it with the entire family. I would love to see another console that really encourages playing with others, instead of staring at my screen all alone. I just have the switch light, dont know if the full switch is more multi player

rewatching that Wii U ad with the kid from Jessie felt like having a knife slowly driven into my chest

Thank you being so kind all mighty all knowing God help me and these people to better understand you

I love the switch because of its games. But to be honest (and to others) the switch is quite boring. And I can tell why everyone is still on their Wii U's. The UI of the switch feels too adultish. But the Wii U UI, it is amazing. Miiverse was so fun back then, and this may sound fake but its true, people are buying Wii U's. The Wii U even had music. If Nintendo tried a little harder, they would get a lot of units sold with the Wii U.

Ahh the Wii, I’ll probably never be happier than when I played it all the time

Literally been having crazy nostalgia for the Wii lately and decided to search "Wii Nostalgia." The results didn't disappoint. Excellent video!

I love keeping my Wii U & Dreamcast consoles & accessories as far away from my other video game consoles and accessories as possible as a reference to how both were commercial failure to the point where I only five games for the former & fourteen for the latter.

WII U didn't fail Nintendo, Nintendo failed the WII U

I think when you have a great product with clear functionality it is easy to market and to resonate with audiences. The WiiU felt strange and gimmicky it failed to attract the casual crowd and most people bought a rival console. The concept behind the Switch is so clear you don’t need to lecture your parents about the difference.

People also forget that another big reason why the wii u failed because Nintendo was originally trying to make the switch back in 2012 but didnt have the technology to do that and we ended up with a wii u.

I can 200% relate to this. Coming home from school and playing the wii, or playing it all day on the weekends. Good ol times. My childhood wii broke 2 years ago unfortubately and i regret throwing it away. Im gonna buy a wii even though i have a wii u which can play the wii. The vWii is not the same.

because of the switch is like the ds but you can also play on tv

2031 will be the end of the switch, be tuned to see this message after 2024

I remember when I had a pneumonia in the hospital and I didn’t feel good so they rolled in a Wii for me to play with when I was really sick, it feels strange that generations of consoles made it sink halfway into the ground..

7:00 “Just” Not really, 8 deluxe is an almost entirely new game

cant cant wait for switch 2 in 2117

11:12 who said it was releasing this millenium

theres so many wii u ports to give those gmaes another chance on switc switch

I love that the Wii U had no publishers making games for it, so Nintendo went and made one of the best games of all time to secure the nintendo switch's future! Its like when Barcelona put Messi in their first team!

I didn't even grow up with the Wii and I feel nostalgic for it.

Amazing video! It be amazing to get a donkey kong game of some sort

No, I don't want lonk to go😢

This 2026 prediction is not strong imo. You base it off nintendos desire to beat the ps2 but you forget that releasing a new console wont hinder that goal. The ps3 came out after 6 years of ps2 at which point ps2 had sold 103 million units, way less than the switch now after 7 years. So switch have already beaten ps2 in a way and probably will beat ps2 record especially if they put Switch on sale.

Why does this guy only have 687 subs?(im subbed)

Switch lasting until Nov 2026 as a flagship console seems really long in the tooth. I was thinking 2025. But it COULD happen. Here’s what that would look like: Switch will be at 138 million units at the end of 2023. From there, it will reach 140 million units by end of March 2024, meaning it reached its goal of 15 million units for FY 2024. Switch will probably see another 25% year over year decline FY 2025, meaning it will sell about 11 million units by March 2025. And by this time, the Switch will be practically on life support. And here is where Nintendo finally gives Switch a price cut. This price cut after March 2025 won’t reverse the sales declines, but it will stop them from going into free fall. So by the time late 2026 is here, Switch will be at around 160 milllion units.

Nice stu icon

The wii is just a dvd player that played only specific disks and you could controll the shows (games)

I’d Rather Have another 3DS and Wii U.

the Wii u was my best love console i loved back in 2012 it was nostalgic console for me the switch is lame and shit i hate why nintendo made there console like a hyper tablet cartridges on the switch is trash there should have done discs like the xbox one i used to have insted the 3ds had a better cartridges then the joycons are terrible they break move easy and not fun! this is why i like the gamecube/wii/wii u better as a home console,
