I got for Christmas the year it came out and it's still one of my favorite consoles. I just have so many fun memories like playing with family, or sitting and looking at the dumb stuff a miiverse. The gamepad dying every few seconds was a little annoying, but I still love that thing. It should've sold more.
What I loved about the Wii U was for games like Nintendo Land and Game and Wario, it allowed you to have special gameplay specifically for the gamepad player and allow 5 players at the same time for many titles.
I also own a Wii U, it's a very good console! There are amazing games, has retrocompativility, has an epic virtual console, has free online, has good online...etc.
I got in way back in 2015 for Christmas, came with skylanders stuff and Nintendo land ofc. My second one sadly barely works anymore so I've decided to get a new console unit
@@Slowbro326 the first one i had sold in 2017 for a switch, but they were hard to come by in the first few months, so we got a ps4 slim. I got one after graduation from a small school I had been going to
the wii u is my favorite nintendo console, with homebrew it truly is the all in one nintendo console, it can play every generation of nintendo games other than the switch and 3ds
@@stitch361 quite literally a random lady coming out of my local game store. It was filled with the smell of smoke so I had to clean that out so it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows but I honestly still can't believe it happened
You can litherly use nintendon't for gamecube games and probably use the gamecube adapter for official gamecube controller support and also not every wii model can play gamecube games without homebrew
Got mine for around $70. It IS a very good console. Many games are ported to the switch would mean that the Wii U become the cheaper way to "play Switch games" 😄
I have my old broken down but still works gamepad from 2013-2015, and the console I found at a thrift store for 10 bucks, it all works great, went inside to clean everything, and am now “downloading” some games for it
I have both xd. I normally use the Wii U to play Wii U games and Virtual Console games. I normally use the Wii to play Wii games and Mario Kart Double Dash.
This was in 2019 btw. My mom got a Wii U with the Game Pad, a Pro Controller, Super Mario 3D World, Smash Bros. 4, some Batman game, and the wires and stuff for only $50! And it was in great condition! She didn't even realize how great of a deal that was 🤣!
The problem is most of its hard hitting games have been ported to switch. And you probably already have a Wii already. If you don’t have a Wii, it’s like $40 bucks
Fun Fact: Kerbal Space Program was actually planned for the Wii U, and likely would have used the gamepad for VAB interface and flight planning, while the TV would be used for the flight screen.
I bought a new one recently due to the SD Card Slot being broken and I couldn't homebrew it. After I got the new console I can play Gamecube, Wii, And Wii U all natively with NO emulation. Meaning I can play the games at full speed without any emulation hiccups (which is always better). And WITH emulation you can play so many more old games. Not to mention the closure of the shop isn't even a problem when you can install WUP Packages. Honestly totally would recommend the console if you're some homebrew nerd and love retro Nintendo games.
I remember my parents got me and my sister the legend of Zelda edition Wii U for Christmas a long time ago. Still have it and am currently replaying wind waker great console all in all
I mean the game is a dual screen/5 player Assymetrical tech demo. A good Nintendo IP celebration party game too (I do enjoy it even for single player and not having experienced the multiplayer much) but still a tech demo to prove the Wii U features. They could rework it but even still it wouldn't be the same/lose appeal of what made it unique and the point of Nintendo Land. If they changed it to make Switches work the way the Wii U does or a single screen/download play multiplayer game and besides that the game didn't do much for sales so I don't think they see a need to bring it back. Otherwise if they reworked it it could be a generic party game if single screen even besides the theming being great the gameplay would be worse and that would be terrible.
tbh i never completely understood why people hate the wiiu i have one and i love playing on it now and then. i love mario party 10, captain toad, splatoon, mario kart, and the games that are available to it. and it also introduced me to minecraft on a console! so many memories and that minecraft acc and the games 😄
I remember the time wax spilt on one of my wii U games, I think it was super Mario 3d world. One of the only reasons I was happy it came out on the switch.
I have the original box my Wii U came in, which is the Mario maker 1 limited edition box, it came with a blocky nes Mario amiibo and a booklet which shows how some of the original nes levels were created, the sell point, over $500 on eBay
If you are wanting a wii I would definitely recommend getting a wii u instead if its cheap enough. It literally has the wii built into it with the wii menu. You even get the wii shop and old mii channel
It's the best way to play your classic Wii games, too. It's like you got a tiny TV all to yourself while your family takes the actual TV just to watch some stinky movie about emojis.
I own the limited edition Zelda one and at its fantastic. For me the only real problem with the wii and the Wii U is having to change the batteries for the wii remotes all of the time
u forgot that the wii u can’t use wii connect 24, and the only internet functionality it has in wii mode is the shop channel, which u can’t buy or redeem apps anymore. u can still redownload, tho. and u can’t play gc games
The wii U was incredible at the start because you had so many great games to play and you could face chat with your friends, mii verse was there, it had it own browser, the eshop and homescreen was so well designed, the gamepad had inbuilt mic so u could talk in games like minecraft, if I remember correctly you could play smash bros with a 3ds at your friends house that had a wii u but I don't remember if that was a thing but I think it was but yeah hands down my favorite console of all time.
OMGGGG!!!!!! I had no idea you could play Wii games on the Wii U thanks so much I do better on handheld systems more than tv imma get my Wii games and play them on my Wii U
I got my Wii U for $150 with all the stuff from the box, 3 Wii motion plus controller, 2 wired controllers, 2 3rd party nunchucks, 2 3rd party wired controllers, and 3 games nintendo land, injustice, and a transformer game. I love it when I get a good deal on market place
Mario Party 10, Nintendo Land, Twilight Princess HD and Wind Waker HD, Game & Wario, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Star Fox Zero, and the ability to play Wii games with HDMI output make the Wii U still worth it in my opinion.
Homebrew and Nintendon't, a retroarch installation and boom, literally every Nintendo home console and even the older handhelds (except for the Switch of course) in one package. Huge since even the Switch has more trouble emulating N64 and not even mentioning Gamecube I hope that as many people as possible can pick one up before Nintendo closes down the shop, making the exploit using Kawashima's brain training impossible. It's a really neat piece of hardware
I don't think it allows reverse. Nintendo says you can't and there is no tool to reverse sending it. You can use an SD card or the transfer tool but that's about it for official ways to send it from Wii to Wii U. No idea about homebrew allowing back and forth if that's a thing or not that someone thought up. I do see reason in doing it reverse but most see the newer console as more suitable same with PS1/2 to PS3 with the memory card adaptor then doing reverse no one I think has bothered as they see no need. Emulators are the way to go for data. I'd say put your data on your PC/Android with Dolphin and see if it works and you should be good. With a hacked Wii of course. I am no expert at all but it's the thought process I think makes sense for this kind of thing when handling data in particular ways. I've never done it but technically it would be a Wii back to a Wii in a sense.
Without homebrew (Nintendon't is what it's called). You would need a Wii with GameCube support otherwise so keep your GanecCube compatible Wii. They were going to add it to the Wii U but backed out of it.
With homebrew not out of the box. GameCube support is part of the Wii U but not accessible without homebrew means to make it possible (though you need GameCube ISOs can't use your disks like the Wii the normal way).
I've obtained, soft modded and developed on so many original Wiis for my own usage. Obviously the Wii u would have some serious advantages but I just never have the money yo, you can pick up a Wii at a yard sale for 20 bucks but the Wii u didn't sell well enough to be at every yard sale in the country this summer

Trying to set the Wii U back up rn.
I loved it so much which is why I want to bring it back up now so yeah.
Recently just bought one with 13 games for 60 usd. Its not a bad console at all, some real bangers on there.
Yeah it's amazing and also sad that e shop is getting closed soon and that miiverse died back in 2017 but yeah it's amazing

I’ve been considering buying a Wii U for years simply for the hd Zelda games. Still holding out hope they’ll be put on switch soon.
Same. I just know the second I buy a Wii U for the Zeldas, they’ll immediately get ported
Got mine for around $70. It IS a very good console. Many games are ported to the switch would mean that the Wii U become the cheaper way to "play Switch games" 😄
You know, I have a wii and I love listening to homebrew channel.
I have my old broken down but still works gamepad from 2013-2015, and the console I found at a thrift store for 10 bucks, it all works great, went inside to clean everything, and am now “downloading” some games for it
This video would’ve been really useful when I was deciding between a Wii and a Wii U A few years ago
I have both xd.
I normally use the Wii U to play Wii U games and Virtual Console games.
I normally use the Wii to play Wii games and Mario Kart Double Dash.
Me who already has it: I don’t need to
Me too, but I want another in case I get lasagna on the first obe
ive had a wii u since it came out and its been my favorite console ever since
The only reason I’d buy a Wii U is for Splattoon 1
I bought it cause it has free online and Switch don't xd. So I can play Mario Kart 8 online for free.
This was in 2019 btw. My mom got a Wii U with the Game Pad, a Pro Controller, Super Mario 3D World, Smash Bros. 4, some Batman game, and the wires and stuff for only $50! And it was in great condition! She didn't even realize how great of a deal that was 🤣!
Xdd. I got mine for $100. It included the Gamepad, Mario Kart 8 and the wires. This was in this very year, 2022 xd.
I had my wii u ever since 2015. 2016 was the best year with the wii u honestly.
My favorite feature of the Wii U is remote play.
It's basically a pre-Switch in that regards.
If there was a Gamecube Memory card adapter, then maybe it could play Gamecube games just like the Wii.
With Homebrew you can re enable GameCube support since the Wii U has the hardware to run GameCube games
I managed to find a black wii U with everything for 40$ in value village a couple months ago
The problem is most of its hard hitting games have been ported to switch. And you probably already have a Wii already. If you don’t have a Wii, it’s like $40 bucks
I had to give away my Wii a long time ago and I got a switch for Christmas 2017 and have had a Wii U since 2013

Fun Fact: Kerbal Space Program was actually planned for the Wii U, and likely would have used the gamepad for VAB interface and flight planning, while the TV would be used for the flight screen.

Homebrew jumpscare
I’m so sad when I found out that they weren’t gonna make a remake of Nintendo land on the switch that game is goated
Yeah especially since my copy of the game doesn’t work anymore

Kinda sucks that the switch doesn’t have home menu music like the Wii U. That music is major nostalgia
bought mine in 2014 and it’s probably my favorite console I’ve owned
I got it in 2013 and it's also my favorite console
Not gonna lie it’s also better with the Homebrew channel because if you get retro arch, it could become a emulating beast
I bought a wii u a few weeks ago from only having an nes and it is the best consol ever

Ok but what if I "steal" My Uncle's Second Wii U and fix the gamepad.
That'd be called strategy
You had to throw in a home brew at the end 😂
I still use it to play first-party exclusives not on the Switch. (Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, Nintendo Land, etc.)
