A lot of things and menus on the switch run under a poorly made web browser without JavaScript "JIT". That makes it have lots of limitations. The decision was made because of "security reasons". Anyway, the Switch was pwned 1 week after its release. They could have changed that to add music and nice visual effects to their default apps. 😟
@@FoxWare fr when my parents got me a switch in 2018 I expected there to be something cool but it's just so blank on the home menu. You'd think they add themes at least

It is absolutely insane to me to see kids these days treating the Wii how my generation treated the N64. For reference, I'm 26 years old, I got a Wii for Christmas the year it came out. For those of you that weren't alive during that time, the Wii is a very special console. I know that that's just my own nostalgia speaking, but there is something special about the Nintendo Wii. I remember the early commercials with the two Japanese men that would visit your house, and they would bow and say "Wii would like to play with you." Just one piece of advice for you: don't forget to enjoy what's going on around you right now. In about 15 years people are going to be looking at the Nintendo Switch the same way we are looking at the Nintendo Wii in this comment section today. The Wii era was magical, but the current eras have magic too 🙂
Dude I feel that hard. Just turned 25 a couple weeks ago and hate how much I took for granted. Still use my original Wii I got for Christmas back in 2006 from time to time, recently have been playing through Kirby's Epic Yarn and Super Mario Bros 3 with the woman I plan on proposing to in a couple weeks. Wild how time flies, you really just have to stop and appreciate the little things as they come.
Turning 24 and I agree. The Wii was the first Console I ever camped out overnight in a Walmart for it's release. There were so many games for the wii that became huge parts of not only me and my sister lifw but pretty much my whole intermediate family since they would come over and help us beat Mario galaxy, warioware, guitar hero, and of course Wii sports and play. Man... Its very bitter sweet looking at those time cus even tho life is cool as an adult now, back then it really was the best times ever. My whole life was just waiting to get out of school to get home and work on completing these games.
48:56 might honestly be one of my favorite nintendo tracks of all time, i remember looking through demos while this played in the background i wish nintendo does these sorts of things again soon with the switch 2🙏🙏
Maybe they might? I feel like they went very safe with the switch because of how poorly the wii u did. They couldn't gamble on gimmicks too much so they needed to play it safe with this console (minus the whole...ya know, switch aspect from handheld to TV lol) We'll just have to wait and see what they do next, I hope at the very least they bring back backwards compatibility in some form
@@Stargazing_night_skyApparently part of the reason for the Switch menu being so barebones is "security concerns" (making it harder for people to hack/homebrew it), even though people will and have always found a way around it anyway.
Nostalgia hitting real hard. Loved when everything wasn't all minimalist and focus was on such strong musical vibes...now listening all these years later makes us remember times where the only troubles we had was that one part of a game we couldn't beat.
i hope frutiger aero and similar aesthetics start really pushing into the mainstream more and hope we can have a somewhat of a revival with it. I think it's already happening as.. well everyone is bored af with all these flat designs
@@starthe_notfurry_ Getting? Flat design has been deliberately stale since the beginning. Like it was the point. I remember finally making the switch to iOS 6 in late 2013 and feeling like something had died.
@@starthe_notfurry_ im starting to see companies slowly moving away from the flat design, like the reddit icon having more detail, pepsi going back to an old logo, hopefully this stays
I remember waking up early on a Saturday morning and sneaking out into the living room to turn on the Wii. My older brothers would soon hear it too and come join me. We would all come together and race in MarioKart, then fight in Super Smash Bro's, then my parents would wake up and we'd all weigh ourselves on Wii Fit. My family would have a 'game night' with Wii Sports and have a big game of bowling together and we'd all spin around if the ball went backwards. It was a truly magical time. I miss that era, where nothing in the world mattered more than well-treasured family time playing the Wii.
My family loves and plays Wii Sports, but sadly they don't do that spinning like the Mii's when the ball goes backwards and they just swear. (Swear: Saying bad words.)
This made me cry! My family would do the same and have wii sports bowling nights and end with golf if we didn't want to stop playing, and I realize how precious these memories are now looking back :')
Ayyy! My family and I would get together for play Wii sports back in the day too! It was truly magical and beautiful. Now times have changed and personal things get in the way, I wish I still had my Wii. But I would really wish for all those memories again

its honestly remarkable how well the wii has aged. i think it entered the right era of graphics at just the right time, ontop of it just being so unique. i suppose the switch is as well, and i predict that will hold up just as well, but there's something so magical about the entire design of the wii
I have a 4 year old and recently put one in his room. I don't have many games for it so I modded it and he can play whatever he likes from the SD card. Hes absolutely loving mario kart and mario bros
whoever sees this, please keep uploading nintendo music like this. how frequently songs end up being unused for long periods of time especially nintendo shop music, there is a possibility that a lot of it could become lost media. idgaf about copyright my nostalgia is more important 😫
@@OrangeDied in the case of the eshop themes they do not, the only song in the files for the 3ds is the original one from 2011 every other theme was part of the extra data and got overwritten with the latest one every time you visited the eshop, so while you could still have the music for a song from 2015 eshop its very unlikely, im also pretty sure it would be huge pain to try and rip the song from the sd card
@@FollowMe4REP fair enough, but i was mostly trying to say this isnt the ONLY archive we have of eshop music. @Pixtrix_ something being a huge pain doesn't matter as long as its possible and we know how to do it
I got my Wii for Christmas in 2007 when I was 5 years old. I was visiting my cousins up in the woods up in Washington, and it was my first Christmas with snow (very HEAVY, pure white snow as far as the eye could see). We got the console with Wii Sports, Wii Play, and a weird little Tomogachi party game, but my sister and I didn't even care about the games, we just loved to play in the Mii Maker and the photo app (we would put in an SD card and edit all the photos of us in the snow, by adding stickers and effects). Aytime I hear Wii era music, I remember being in that house, sitting on the tan carpeted floor, and playing on that old blocky CRT tv, as snow fell outside the window. Now that I'm an adult, I am actually making a game WITH those Washington cousins, and we are trying to capture that feeling and that Wii era (in a game that kind of combines AC: City Folk with Nintendo Land). I really appreciate this video, cause one of my jobs on this game is to make the music, so I have just been listening to a TON of Wii/U/DS (and even GameCube) fruitger aero mixes (for reasearch), and this is easily the best one I've found so far. Thank you so much! I'm subscribed and excited to hear the other mixes you have made. :)
is there a way I can see/follow progress on your game? city folk was a childhood favorite of mine and Nintendo Land might be the best party game to exist, so I'd definitely be interested in seeing what you guys are making!
Man i remember getting a wii vividly. I remember going to target and my dad said "aw shit these remotes are expensive". But he got them anyway and I'm so happy he did. We went home and I put on a Hannah Montana nightgown and we turned it on and played Wii sports. It was such a cozy night. It was winter I think, but I wasn't cold at all because those games kept me moving. I love all my nintendo consoles but there was something really special about the Wii and the 3ds. I just stopped typing midway through this and ordered a Wii. My boyfriend loved it too but his sister lost it at a friends house when he was still a kid. Hes going to be so happy when it get here. im going to relive all the fun I had on the wii!
aww that's so sweet! there was so many wiis sold that buying one second-hand probably isn't that expensive, hope you guys have fun :D i have some really fond childhood memories of playing wii with family too, they really did a great job of making it easy to grasp even for people who have never gamed before
I know I was old already, but I definitely had worries back then. But I never thought that I'd be worried that Nintendo would ever serve up a whole OS that felt like Netscape.
@@Battle_for_Lily_cove Even children who never got to experience it firsthand can confirm it was objectively the best. Finally something everyone can agree on!
@@Battle_for_Lily_cove Ah... um... I hate to burst your age bubble, but being born in 2013 DOESN'T make you Gen Alpha. It makes you a... an um... a... ... ... a whatever you call someone born in 2013.
i miss my life as a kid playing in summer on the wii and on the windows xp with all the logos shiny life was beautiful literally everything was beautiful
This got me. I think we all remember the first time we turned on our Wii and were just overwhelemed by it all. I've since moved out of my childhood home, but have the Wii up here with me still. As others said, nothing can match/capture that magical moment of the anticipation leading up the holidays, knowing that it's all you've been asking for for months. It quite literally brought the family together; my dad and I playing Wii tennis, and even some of his friends from work when they came for dinner would want to try out Wii boxing and Baseball, and it was just amazing how it brought all of these people together. Magical. No other words to describe it
yea I’m 26, this is worded so well. Kind of hits a bittersweet note. i remember we moved to a nice new neighborhood right as the wii came out and literally like the entire neighborhood would come by to play wii, and everybody had their own special game they liked (i.e., you and your dad w tennis, me and my grandpa liked bowling.) then nobody noticed when it just kind of faded away. Truly such a beautiful time. You can’t buy memories like that.
I definitely agree as far as style and music, though current era has extremely good games. I hope they strike a better balance with the next system, because as much as I love the switch as a system, the UI/UX is so bland
The drastic lack of personality the switch has compared to the 3ds is something I'll never get over, i used to boot up my 3ds every day just to get some free plays on badge arcade to customize my home screen with unique icons and badges of my favourite games, and now you cant even get a custom background outside of black and white. also i forgot who the crocodile eats which era is better?
I remember back when i was younger, i would always sleepover at my cousins place and one particular night before we went to bed we played on his wii and specifically wii sports bowling while we were eating dinner that his mom cooked for us, back then I never really knew how much that night really mean’t to me, but im glad i still remembered especially since we don’t have much time to play together anymore. However him and his family recently bought me a wii during new years as a late christmas present since he knew how much i wanted to experince those times again so im very grateful to him and his wonderful family for not just the wii but for an incredible childhood too. this playlist really made me relive all of those precious memories all over again :)
good playlist, it reminds me of when I came home from school and turned on my Wii in the afternoon to play Mario Kart with my cousins, or play Wii Sports Resort with my grandmother
Those old eShop songs were BANGERS!! I would regularly linger in the shop just to bop around… knowing good goddamn well I couldn’t buy games with the $60 price tags 😭😔
And how cool was it of neo, aka @neomoonnim, to upload this just when this year was starting? Ok, so it wasn't EXACTLY on Bob's birthday (his birthday is actually on the 1st of January, and this video was 24 hours later, on the 2nd of January), but it was close enough to Bob's actual birthday.
@@Most-sane-deltarune-fan oh i meant adding the homebrew song to this video, my dad modded it when i was a kid! here's a link to the song, i think it got found in some kind of dataleak? m.ruclips.net/video/ivRsSeoEW_0/видео.html
@@neomoonnimThanks! Also, you must have a very kind and intelligent dad who would gladly tinker away at your console to be able to set up such a complicated process for you!
I was thinking the same thing lol, I’m sure it will be used by companies in the future purely as nostalgia-bait, but honestly I don’t care, the vibes are too good
Personally I’m gonna try and revive this aesthetic in the computer market. I’m gonna make a Linux os that’s full of fruitiger aero, music, and just fun yo in general. I haven’t started yet, it’s still in planning stages.
No. We're moving to minimalism. We're definitely going in a different era. The 2006 period was a time marked by tech-optimism and future optimism. The future was a clean, beautiful peaceful place where Technology and nature found their perfect balance. 2006 had the Frutiger aero / Web 2.0 Gloss / Digital Dream Utopia aesthetic. Everything was clean, high def, rounded corners, bubbles, water, utopian, fresh and happy. That was the image of the future that we were striving for, Looking at the world now it's quite the opposite.
@@wintutorials2282 I hate to admit it, but you just described it *perfectly.* Nowadays you'll notice the complete opposite: Pessimism, Dystopia, Corporate sludge. Nowadays, people just spew out streams of garbage content, prioritizing quantity rather than quality to make a quick buck. There's an intense lack of creativity and originality since people are just copying the latest trends, rather than creating their own original piece of work (e.g. content farm channels). Manmade artwork is dying (e.g. the rise of AI artwork discouraging people from wanting to learn how to draw, if they can just ask a computer to do it for them). Then to top it all off, the designs used in the Late 2000's/Early 2010's is now long gone. All websites now have sharp edges with flat, dull, lifeless colors (or if there is color, it's eye-strainingly bright to grab your attention). If I had one wish, I would wish for the return of tech/future-optimism. We're getting there, little by little, since the discovery of *Solarpunk,* but we've got a long way to go.
Interestingly enough, Bob (the cat shown in the video) was actually one of the first villagers created for the very first Animal Crossing game on the Nintendo 64 (his birthday being January 1st), and this explains why he’s appeared in every game and piece of media (except the Japanese-exclusive movie).
There's just something so magical about this style of music, that was lost in the modern-day gloom and doom. The future needs this music back more than ever, companies really need to start going back to this aestetic
I love this, thank you. The Wii and DS were really magical. Getting them for Christmas was so special looking back. I stayed up ALL night the morning of, knowing I had the Wii coming, I couldn't sleep a damn wink. It was glorious. When I got the DS it was particularly funny because they bought me no games, so all I had was the drawing function to mess around in and I didn't care at all. I spent hours messing around with it.
Listening to this while boiling some water for tea. Brings back memories of playing wii with friends and my family. I loved it so much. If I hope to keep the wii so that if I ever have kids they can enjoy it too! It’s a shame not many if any kids are going to experience it too. So I want to keep it! Plus, it’s fun to indulge in it even now sometimes
was listening to this in the background and 29:40 started to play and it sounded very familiar to me holy SHIT that brought back some memories of scrolling the e-shop and downloading new games (mostly demos lmao), i miss the 3ds so much man
though i am only 11 years old and was born YEARS after the wii and ds my family still had a ds AND a wii! so i got to experience the nostalgia that all u guys had! even though im a gen alpha kid :) (i was born in 2013)
I honestly wish i had a 3ds that way i could make even BETTER memories! i've always wanted one since i found out abt animal crossing new leaf but im just gonna wait till christmas
@@Battle_for_Lily_cove that's so cool! if you care about the 3d being good you could get a new 3ds because the 3d on the original models is very inconsistent. also someone else commented this so i feel like i should pass it along: be careful about commenting your age, maybe try not to disclose it online to stay safe!
Magical - Wii menu music brought me back, I was lucky enough to get an original Wii the day before release as my parents were distributing them. It genuinely brought me back to opening the console and thinking the wiimote was tiny, and then booting up to that menu music haha. Then delivering them to all my friends the next day was amazing too!
7:06 I can't explain what subconscious feels are being triggered by this tone alone my god the nostalgia. that pikmin music hit me harder than I expected it to as well. its like I never knew these songs were ingrained in my memory until hearing it again at 24.
you dont have idea how much i love the wii u mii maker theme, it is relaxing and bring me memories before the pandemic. Glad the frutiger aero is vibing!!
It's not just Nintendo that quit trying, really all the gaming companies quit trying to some degree. Simple background music here and there, better interface designs, just overall more details and more time spent on making a worthwhile and full experience in the tiniest things. We need to see gaming companies return to this.
Imagine growing up with the lifeless Switch. It may have a huge variety of high quality games, but it will never beat the DS/Wii/3DS/Wii U in terms of sheer charm. Spending hours in the Mii Maker and playing around with the menus and apps just to hear music like this is what made it all so special.
I'll never know how hard my dad fought to get a Wii. The hype was so real, sold out everywhere for so long. But I remember getting out of school one day, getting into the car, and there it was, and he was very excited to show me. Still got my thick original DS, too.
This genuinely makes me very happy to listen to this while I am working, playing a cozy game, or for some background noise. Thanks for compiling this for us :)
Love this playlist. Brings back good memories of just playing games for fun and not worrying about anything. As an adult I still play games but it's not same anymore, I have to work and my free time is more limited. I wish I can just sit down and play all day like I used to, but now gaming is usually just held off to the weekend.
pikmin 3 was one of the games i still played up to having to sell my wii u when moving in 2021 :) the music makes me feel so nostalgic. i was 9 when i got my wii u, and played it up until i was 18
playing deluxe rn! that game is so pretty and frutiger aero, im so nostalgic for the playthroughs i watched when i was small. 4 is also really fun but has a different vibe
@neomoonnim it's a great console for the same reason the gamecube is, it didn't have much third party so nintendo had to pull out their A game on first party games. Yeah, some of them were stinkers. But the wii u had pikmin 3, mario kart 8, mario 3d world, botw, xenoblade x, and a few more I'm probably forgetting. While pretty much all the great wii u games are on switch now, they started on wii u. (Another one that I'll say is mario party 10 EVEN though everyone hates it, I loved that game TvT)
I barely remember the first time I got my WII, I believe one of my dads friends just gave one to me with some games on it, like Smash Bros Brawl, Sonic and the Black Knight, Wii sports and Wii sports resort, and probably a few others. I have no idea if I still have my Wii (haven't checked out the closet to find it). All I can say is that it brought me so many good memories, and having any old gen nintendo console is an experience you could really never forget. The feelings they gave you as you played through it were unlike anything any other console could give you.
its so weird to think that i'm probably one of very few kids around my age who were raised on the wii and ds era of consoles. most of my friends had ps4s and xbox ones and here i was playing games like mario galaxy and rayman origins on my wii and mario party ds with my sister on my ds lite. it almost feels like my nostalgia for these consoles is completely out of place for someone whos only 17 but i seriously do have so many fond memories of those consoles even if i also got a wii u, 3ds and switch later down the line. such great consoles, i love their vibe and game catalogues
i really love this era of gaming and frutiger aero & cybercore aesthetics but i'm not really good with differentiating them exactly and choosing songs so in my playlists there might be some stuff that doesn't qualify for frutiger aero, just my best attempt at capturing that vibe
Feel the same way i have made a playlist with a friend about a subcategory of frutiger aero (helvetica aqua aero) and we have wii themes and games like mario cart in them too. We believe or i at the very least that the feeling of nostalgia plays a huge role in choosing the music and I believe you captured the essence of frutiger aero very well
@@neomoonnim i think the name you used fits already very well ( I love the ds and wii thats why i clicked in the first place xD ). Helvetica Aqua aero is more watery bubbly and way more colours perhaps you know donkey kongs aquatic ambience its often used in this context or mario sunshine in my opinon it perfectly matches these beach vibes HAA embodies
im 11,i never imagined that the wii can be such a great console,one of the best consoles that i ever played,i have a DSi too,the menu music it is great..I wish I could describe these two beautiful consoles much more...but I'm at a loss for words... (sorry for the bad english :/) Edit: such a great playlist! Edit 2:this needs more views. I actually have a Wii U too.
I'm kinda young, and the only reason I probably respect and love the ds and wii as much as I do is because my brother and cousins grew up with it so naturally I played with them. They were a huge part of my childhood even though most people don't really care about them anymore.
@@Marsaiz Yeah I played the hell out of Order Up Demo. I remember purchasing Pushmo and all the school were baffled by how I was playing a game without a cartridge in. Thats some foreign power there.
I like listening to things like this while I work on one of my writing projects, helps me calm down and not feel as stressed to finish them!! At the time of writing I'm working on two things, a book and an essay for fun, and this music has helped me slow down and make sure what I'm writing is as good as I'm capable of making it :3 thanks youtube people who upload things like this, i wish upon those people a particularly nice day
@@neomoonnim Ugh I swear I wrote a reply--guess my computer bugged out and it didn't actually go through? Hate when it does that...anyway thank you, I appreciate that a lot!! ^v^
Im glad this video has WII U menu themes they are slept on, i just remember editing dozens of miis and going through my insane playtime history with the themes in the backround
I never really played on the Wii, but my brother did. I remember always watching him play Mario kart or that 007 Goldfinger James Bond game, and I would always cheer his on. I remember having a DS as well, I loved taking pictures with it whenever I went to the park, I lost it a while ago and found it again, as soon as I heard the little “ba-ding-ba-ding-ba-ding”, I couldn’t help but smile, I went through and saw all of the photos I took the rest of the afternoon, just thought to share to anyone else who has this same kind of nostalgia. :)
2002 kid here, i never got a ds sadly, but the wii was one of my favorite childhood things. Wii sport and Wii fit plus were honestly the best, I still have them today.
Ironically, I was born in the middle of the early 2000s, but was too young to fully appreciate the tech stuff, and in either 2015 or 2016, my brother got a 2DS for his birthday (I think?) to play Pokémon Sun (though we had to go get another orange and white New Nintendo 2DS XL, because the first one kind of crashed and broke down and the top screen went black, so we returned it to our local EB Games store and IMMEDIATELY got a replacement; the current 2DS I have is that same replacement that's been working ever since), and then after he completed Pokémon Ultra Moon in 2017 (I think), then he watched me play most of Pokémon X on Christmas Day 2019, and the rest of December too. Then he kind of lost interest in the 2DS, and I ended up using it for a while, and then on my father's birthday, my brother and father played Pokémon Blue (digital eShop download, Virtual Console edition), and it actually took them a while to complete it, but they did, and then for Christmas (I think?) my brother and my father started playing a bit of Pokémon Black 2 (physical game card ordered off eBay or Amazon or something like that), but my father got confused, even after the first battle with Bianca (I think that's the name of one of your character's friends?), and quit playing, roughly 3-5 minutes in. They've kind of never went back since, and the 2DS has been mine for the rest of those years. tl;dr: The 2DS has been through a lot, despite it being a replacement.
Gave my niece a refurbished wii 6 months ago when she turned 8, she was ecstatic and we always play together on weekend! I'm not a wii kid, never touched nintendo devices until 6 months ago. I'm a playstation kid, but I love every second I spent with my niece playing wii together even though some games are a little boring for me. I play this playlist whenever I miss my niece in the middle of the week, it reminds me of her lol
started tearing up because i tho i was working on homework and I was hit with this intense wave of nstalgia hearing the the soundtrack of the dsi camera as a kid. i remember I got that aqua blue one for my 9th birthday and I spent so much time taking pictures on the camera, just editing photos and adding filters and shit. that was such a simple time for me. tnank you for the time travel :3
as someone that's already using nintendo music, i'm so amazed they're including wii channel themes!! it's great that their music is now more available and though there is still some very niche third party tracks like in my casual ds playlist that i doubt they'll ever include on the app, a lot of good music is already on there! i never received anything from these videos as they're not monetized but if they do get taken down i wanted to thank everyone for listening, and i probably will keep making niche playlists for stuff they don't upload on the app! thank you

I grew up with these decades of vibes from GameCube to 3DS since when I was young. This is my favorite era, the Frutiger Aero of Nintendo.
It is absolutely insane to me to see kids these days treating the Wii how my generation treated the N64. For reference, I'm 26 years old, I got a Wii for Christmas the year it came out. For those of you that weren't alive during that time, the Wii is a very special console. I know that that's just my own nostalgia speaking, but there is something special about the Nintendo Wii. I remember the early commercials with the two Japanese men that would visit your house, and they would bow and say "Wii would like to play with you." Just one piece of advice for you: don't forget to enjoy what's going on around you right now. In about 15 years people are going to be looking at the Nintendo Switch the same way we are looking at the Nintendo Wii in this comment section today. The Wii era was magical, but the current eras have magic too 🙂
damn thats deep, time keeps rolling
Dude I feel that hard. Just turned 25 a couple weeks ago and hate how much I took for granted. Still use my original Wii I got for Christmas back in 2006 from time to time, recently have been playing through Kirby's Epic Yarn and Super Mario Bros 3 with the woman I plan on proposing to in a couple weeks. Wild how time flies, you really just have to stop and appreciate the little things as they come.
I’m 22 and I agree with this it’s kinda insane having the things that felt “new” as a kid being looked at nosltalgicly
it was my first real home console and i loved it. had some of the best games i ever played.
Turning 24 and I agree. The Wii was the first Console I ever camped out overnight in a Walmart for it's release. There were so many games for the wii that became huge parts of not only me and my sister lifw but pretty much my whole intermediate family since they would come over and help us beat Mario galaxy, warioware, guitar hero, and of course Wii sports and play. Man... Its very bitter sweet looking at those time cus even tho life is cool as an adult now, back then it really was the best times ever. My whole life was just waiting to get out of school to get home and work on completing these games.
The 3ds shop themes are some of my favorite pieces of music ever
oh damn it was the soundtrack of a series of skits but I can't remember from where
Same
Agreed.
The fact that they had MULTIPLE ones is incredible
48:56 might honestly be one of my favorite nintendo tracks of all time, i remember looking through demos while this played in the background
i wish nintendo does these sorts of things again soon with the switch 2🙏🙏
Such a shame Nintendo will not do this again. I remember how charming the Wii was when it was brand new.
Maybe they might? I feel like they went very safe with the switch because of how poorly the wii u did. They couldn't gamble on gimmicks too much so they needed to play it safe with this console (minus the whole...ya know, switch aspect from handheld to TV lol)
We'll just have to wait and see what they do next, I hope at the very least they bring back backwards compatibility in some form
@@Stargazing_night_skyApparently part of the reason for the Switch menu being so barebones is "security concerns" (making it harder for people to hack/homebrew it), even though people will and have always found a way around it anyway.
@@ExaltedUriel ...And yet people were hacking the console with literal *physical paperclips* as soon as it came out anyway...
@@LazyTomato exactly, lol
They do something different every console.
Nostalgia hitting real hard. Loved when everything wasn't all minimalist and focus was on such strong musical vibes...now listening all these years later makes us remember times where the only troubles we had was that one part of a game we couldn't beat.
i hope frutiger aero and similar aesthetics start really pushing into the mainstream more and hope we can have a somewhat of a revival with it.
I think it's already happening as.. well everyone is bored af with all these flat designs
@@mouses_HK Absolutely. I feel like the backlash towards flat design is getting a bit stronger with how stale they're getting

I remember waking up early on a Saturday morning and sneaking out into the living room to turn on the Wii. My older brothers would soon hear it too and come join me. We would all come together and race in MarioKart, then fight in Super Smash Bro's, then my parents would wake up and we'd all weigh ourselves on Wii Fit. My family would have a 'game night' with Wii Sports and have a big game of bowling together and we'd all spin around if the ball went backwards. It was a truly magical time. I miss that era, where nothing in the world mattered more than well-treasured family time playing the Wii.
Aww that's so cute, I wish I'd lived this too
My family loves and plays Wii Sports, but sadly they don't do that spinning like the Mii's when the ball goes backwards and they just swear. (Swear: Saying bad words.)
This made me cry! My family would do the same and have wii sports bowling nights and end with golf if we didn't want to stop playing, and I realize how precious these memories are now looking back :')
Ayyy! My family and I would get together for play Wii sports back in the day too! It was truly magical and beautiful. Now times have changed and personal things get in the way, I wish I still had my Wii. But I would really wish for all those memories again

If I ever have kids, I'm getting them a Wii
I'm gonna preserve all of my consoles and pass some of them down to my own kids if I ever get blessed with having any..
its honestly remarkable how well the wii has aged. i think it entered the right era of graphics at just the right time, ontop of it just being so unique. i suppose the switch is as well, and i predict that will hold up just as well, but there's something so magical about the entire design of the wii
I have a 4 year old and recently put one in his room. I don't have many games for it so I modded it and he can play whatever he likes from the SD card. Hes absolutely loving mario kart and mario bros

whoever sees this, please keep uploading nintendo music like this. how frequently songs end up being unused for long periods of time especially nintendo shop music, there is a possibility that a lot of it could become lost media. idgaf about copyright my nostalgia is more important 😫
audio will always be in the files of these systems, as long as we have working systems we should be alright
@@OrangeDied in the case of the eshop themes they do not, the only song in the files for the 3ds is the original one from 2011 every other theme was part of the extra data and got overwritten with the latest one every time you visited the eshop, so while you could still have the music for a song from 2015 eshop its very unlikely, im also pretty sure it would be huge pain to try and rip the song from the sd card

I got my Wii for Christmas in 2007 when I was 5 years old. I was visiting my cousins up in the woods up in Washington, and it was my first Christmas with snow (very HEAVY, pure white snow as far as the eye could see). We got the console with Wii Sports, Wii Play, and a weird little Tomogachi party game, but my sister and I didn't even care about the games, we just loved to play in the Mii Maker and the photo app (we would put in an SD card and edit all the photos of us in the snow, by adding stickers and effects).
Aytime I hear Wii era music, I remember being in that house, sitting on the tan carpeted floor, and playing on that old blocky CRT tv, as snow fell outside the window. Now that I'm an adult, I am actually making a game WITH those Washington cousins, and we are trying to capture that feeling and that Wii era (in a game that kind of combines AC: City Folk with Nintendo Land).
I really appreciate this video, cause one of my jobs on this game is to make the music, so I have just been listening to a TON of Wii/U/DS (and even GameCube) fruitger aero mixes (for reasearch), and this is easily the best one I've found so far. Thank you so much! I'm subscribed and excited to hear the other mixes you have made. :)
Good luck for the game ! Something that can simulate the Wii era's feeling would be very cool. I hope that everything would go well with it !
is there a way I can see/follow progress on your game? city folk was a childhood favorite of mine and Nintendo Land might be the best party game to exist, so I'd definitely be interested in seeing what you guys are making!
Can you ask your mom if I can come over?
update on your game?
you misspelled 'tamagotchi', 'frutiger' and 'research' as 'tomogachi', 'fruitger' and 'reasearch'.
Man i remember getting a wii vividly. I remember going to target and my dad said "aw shit these remotes are expensive". But he got them anyway and I'm so happy he did. We went home and I put on a Hannah Montana nightgown and we turned it on and played Wii sports. It was such a cozy night. It was winter I think, but I wasn't cold at all because those games kept me moving. I love all my nintendo consoles but there was something really special about the Wii and the 3ds. I just stopped typing midway through this and ordered a Wii. My boyfriend loved it too but his sister lost it at a friends house when he was still a kid. Hes going to be so happy when it get here. im going to relive all the fun I had on the wii!
aww that's so sweet! there was so many wiis sold that buying one second-hand probably isn't that expensive, hope you guys have fun :D i have some really fond childhood memories of playing wii with family too, they really did a great job of making it easy to grasp even for people who have never gamed before
That’s so sweet. Thank you for sharing.
It's nice to hear these tracks in full and in high quality. They're actually really magnificent little tracks. Good music for waking up ☺️

The old Eshop music always hits the hardest, those were the days. Just being a kid with no worries except playing more games…

agreed madz, the ds / wii / 3ds / wii u era had the best ui and menu music by far ( especially now with the switch’s lack of music and ui flair )
i miss my life as a kid playing in summer on the wii and on the windows xp with all the logos shiny life was beautiful literally everything was beautiful
This is the best kind of frutiger aero music.
This got me. I think we all remember the first time we turned on our Wii and were just overwhelemed by it all. I've since moved out of my childhood home, but have the Wii up here with me still. As others said, nothing can match/capture that magical moment of the anticipation leading up the holidays, knowing that it's all you've been asking for for months. It quite literally brought the family together; my dad and I playing Wii tennis, and even some of his friends from work when they came for dinner would want to try out Wii boxing and Baseball, and it was just amazing how it brought all of these people together. Magical. No other words to describe it
yea I’m 26, this is worded so well. Kind of hits a bittersweet note. i remember we moved to a nice new neighborhood right as the wii came out and literally like the entire neighborhood would come by to play wii, and everybody had their own special game they liked (i.e., you and your dad w tennis, me and my grandpa liked bowling.) then nobody noticed when it just kind of faded away. Truly such a beautiful time. You can’t buy memories like that.

this era of nintendo >> current era
I definitely agree as far as style and music, though current era has extremely good games. I hope they strike a better balance with the next system, because as much as I love the switch as a system, the UI/UX is so bland
Agreed.
This era of gaming in general is so much better than what we have now. Much simpler, sure, but such a better value for your money and time.
The drastic lack of personality the switch has compared to the 3ds is something I'll never get over, i used to boot up my 3ds every day just to get some free plays on badge arcade to customize my home screen with unique icons and badges of my favourite games, and now you cant even get a custom background outside of black and white. also i forgot who the crocodile eats which era is better?
@@Prazca The crododile eats the biggest number (in that case the best era)
I remember back when i was younger, i would always sleepover at my cousins place and one particular night before we went to bed we played on his wii and specifically wii sports bowling while we were eating dinner that his mom cooked for us, back then I never really knew how much that night really mean’t to me, but im glad i still remembered especially since we don’t have much time to play together anymore. However him and his family recently bought me a wii during new years as a late christmas present since he knew how much i wanted to experince those times again so im very grateful to him and his wonderful family for not just the wii but for an incredible childhood too. this playlist really made me relive all of those precious memories all over again :)
good playlist, it reminds me of when I came home from school and turned on my Wii in the afternoon to play Mario Kart with my cousins, or play Wii Sports Resort with my grandmother
Those old eShop songs were BANGERS!! I would regularly linger in the shop just to bop around… knowing good goddamn well I couldn’t buy games with the $60 price tags 😭😔

Wonder if this aesthetic will ever be revived again…
I was thinking the same thing lol, I’m sure it will be used by companies in the future purely as nostalgia-bait, but honestly I don’t care, the vibes are too good
Personally I’m gonna try and revive this aesthetic in the computer market. I’m gonna make a Linux os that’s full of fruitiger aero, music, and just fun yo in general. I haven’t started yet, it’s still in planning stages.
I think give it another 5 to 10 years. It'll see a resurgence, I'll bet.
No. We're moving to minimalism. We're definitely going in a different era. The 2006 period was a time marked by tech-optimism and future optimism. The future was a clean, beautiful peaceful place where Technology and nature found their perfect balance. 2006 had the Frutiger aero / Web 2.0 Gloss / Digital Dream Utopia aesthetic. Everything was clean, high def, rounded corners, bubbles, water, utopian, fresh and happy. That was the image of the future that we were striving for, Looking at the world now it's quite the opposite.
@@wintutorials2282 I hate to admit it, but you just described it *perfectly.* Nowadays you'll notice the complete opposite: Pessimism, Dystopia, Corporate sludge. Nowadays, people just spew out streams of garbage content, prioritizing quantity rather than quality to make a quick buck. There's an intense lack of creativity and originality since people are just copying the latest trends, rather than creating their own original piece of work (e.g. content farm channels). Manmade artwork is dying (e.g. the rise of AI artwork discouraging people from wanting to learn how to draw, if they can just ask a computer to do it for them). Then to top it all off, the designs used in the Late 2000's/Early 2010's is now long gone. All websites now have sharp edges with flat, dull, lifeless colors (or if there is color, it's eye-strainingly bright to grab your attention).
If I had one wish, I would wish for the return of tech/future-optimism. We're getting there, little by little, since the discovery of *Solarpunk,* but we've got a long way to go.
Having themes for the most mundane things in the system shows how much charm and soul these consols had
I feel these playlists and aesthetics fill a part of me that longs to live how I did when I was young, and I am grateful for that.
Interestingly enough, Bob (the cat shown in the video) was actually one of the first villagers created for the very first Animal Crossing game on the Nintendo 64 (his birthday being January 1st), and this explains why he’s appeared in every game and piece of media (except the Japanese-exclusive movie).
So this is what childhood summer sounds like

It genuinely brought me back to opening the console and thinking the wiimote was tiny, and then booting up to that menu music haha.
Then delivering them to all my friends the next day was amazing too!
whatt that sounds so cool, wish i was older during that time but it was also fun having it as my first console, a lot of fond memories

quite literally the most perfect playlist
you dont have idea how much i love the wii u mii maker theme, it is relaxing and bring me memories before the pandemic. Glad the frutiger aero is vibing!!
The soundcsape is so icy and glassy. Such a unique and beautiful sound.
It's not just Nintendo that quit trying, really all the gaming companies quit trying to some degree. Simple background music here and there, better interface designs, just overall more details and more time spent on making a worthwhile and full experience in the tiniest things. We need to see gaming companies return to this.
i enjoy some of the impact music ^^
Oh my god everything is so nostalgic here this is perfect!
Imagine growing up with the lifeless Switch. It may have a huge variety of high quality games, but it will never beat the DS/Wii/3DS/Wii U in terms of sheer charm. Spending hours in the Mii Maker and playing around with the menus and apps just to hear music like this is what made it all so special.
Every single soundtrack, which used to be just background noise, now а nostalgic masterpiece. It was made with love.
The fact that there is nearly 2 hours of late 2000s early 2010s Nintendo menu music is the best gift I could ever receive.

I barely remember the first time I got my WII, I believe one of my dads friends just gave one to me with some games on it, like Smash Bros Brawl, Sonic and the Black Knight, Wii sports and Wii sports resort, and probably a few others. I have no idea if I still have my Wii (haven't checked out the closet to find it). All I can say is that it brought me so many good memories, and having any old gen nintendo console is an experience you could really never forget. The feelings they gave you as you played through it were unlike anything any other console could give you.

sd card photo list music is so memorable, everytime I look at old photos on my wii, the song fills my mind with wii memories.
very good selection... i also recommend the pokemon bank theme to anyone looking for more...
that fits perfectly, i forgot about it ty
Im glad this video has WII U menu themes they are slept on, i just remember editing dozens of miis and going through my insane playtime history with the themes in the backround
Absolutely love the night globe tune from forecast channel. So sad how nintendo doesnt care about that charm anymore
"Absolutely love the night globe tune from forecast channel." It reminds me of Animal Crossing: City Folk's nighttime City theme!
I never really played on the Wii, but my brother did. I remember always watching him play Mario kart or that 007 Goldfinger James Bond game, and I would always cheer his on. I remember having a DS as well, I loved taking pictures with it whenever I went to the park, I lost it a while ago and found it again, as soon as I heard the little “ba-ding-ba-ding-ba-ding”, I couldn’t help but smile, I went through and saw all of the photos I took the rest of the afternoon, just thought to share to anyone else who has this same kind of nostalgia. :)
NO WAY YOU MADLAD YOU ADDED THE HOMEBREW CHANNEL THEME!!!! UGH PERFECT I WASNT EVEN EXPECTING THAT BEFORE I READ THE DESCRIPTION ITS SO HQ TOO
"ITS SO HQ TOO" It's what headquarters?

2002 kid here, i never got a ds sadly, but the wii was one of my favorite childhood things. Wii sport and Wii fit plus were honestly the best, I still have them today.
Ironically, I was born in the middle of the early 2000s, but was too young to fully appreciate the tech stuff, and in either 2015 or 2016, my brother got a 2DS for his birthday (I think?) to play Pokémon Sun (though we had to go get another orange and white New Nintendo 2DS XL, because the first one kind of crashed and broke down and the top screen went black, so we returned it to our local EB Games store and IMMEDIATELY got a replacement; the current 2DS I have is that same replacement that's been working ever since), and then after he completed Pokémon Ultra Moon in 2017 (I think), then he watched me play most of Pokémon X on Christmas Day 2019, and the rest of December too. Then he kind of lost interest in the 2DS, and I ended up using it for a while, and then on my father's birthday, my brother and father played Pokémon Blue (digital eShop download, Virtual Console edition), and it actually took them a while to complete it, but they did, and then for Christmas (I think?) my brother and my father started playing a bit of Pokémon Black 2 (physical game card ordered off eBay or Amazon or something like that), but my father got confused, even after the first battle with Bianca (I think that's the name of one of your character's friends?), and quit playing, roughly 3-5 minutes in. They've kind of never went back since, and the 2DS has been mine for the rest of those years.
tl;dr: The 2DS has been through a lot, despite it being a replacement.
1:34:25 this is an absolute banger, i remember using 3ds eshop just to download some demos and hear this music
Gave my niece a refurbished wii 6 months ago when she turned 8, she was ecstatic and we always play together on weekend! I'm not a wii kid, never touched nintendo devices until 6 months ago. I'm a playstation kid, but I love every second I spent with my niece playing wii together even though some games are a little boring for me. I play this playlist whenever I miss my niece in the middle of the week, it reminds me of her lol
I was a teenager in the days of Frutiger Aero, I did not realize how nostalgic I would be for it!
This playlist made me happier, for some reason. I loved. 💗
This was the best era in gaming and nobody will ever change my mind.
the Wii was my childhood and I'm still paying it, it never gets old
I love how the homebrew channel music is in this
It's because OP's dad kindly modded the console for them when they were young.
so glad you included wii u music, you’re a real one
the We Ski soundtrack would’ve fit perfectly in this playlist
added it for the next one!
started tearing up because i tho i was working on homework and I was hit with this intense wave of nstalgia hearing the the soundtrack of the dsi camera as a kid. i remember I got that aqua blue one for my 9th birthday and I spent so much time taking pictures on the camera, just editing photos and adding filters and shit. that was such a simple time for me. tnank you for the time travel :3
aw that's so cute, i miss those simpler times too (gl on ur hw!)
I miss when consoles had so much personality and music for little stuff like settings
Thanks for this!! It's my new favorite thing to listen to while I work. ☺
