The Wii U is my favorite console ever, I got it on christmas 2015 with super mario maker and minecraft, tons of hours and memories on that thing. I miss the good old days
You should try Yoshi's Wooly World, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Rayman Legends, Windwaker HD, Twilight Princess HD, Kirby and The Rainbow Curse, Pikmin 3, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, Need For Speed U, Batman: Arkham Origins, Paper Mario: Color Splash (believe me, give it a good try), and New Super Mario + Luigi U.
@@wolfgangvonlichtenstein5222 Great!, answering the question, it's REALLY good, it has a lot of functions with the gamepad, and if you want to have a closer experience to the PS, you could also try it with the Wii U Pro controller, but I prefer the gamepad in this case, hope that helps!
@@danal0gueyou need to try out the virtual wii. Especially if you homebrew the Wii U you can get the homebrew channel on that and pretty much do anything with it as well. Even if you don’t go down that route it’s still a wii in a wii u but know that the wii shop channel isn’t around anymore but it is still there
I just picked one up on eBay, in 2014 we lost our Wii in a flood and I’ve been feeling nostalgic for some of the Wii games like Mario Galaxy 2. We have a GameCube still so I took the Wii U to deal with the no component cables on the tv.
I got my black Wii U around release and then got the Zelda special edition a couple years later. I was one the only people that preordered Zelda breath of the wild at my Best Buy. Paper Mario color splash and Zelda windwaker are a couple of my favorite games on it.
The Wii U is an incredible console and is one of my favorite consoles of all time. Such a shame that the marketing sucked cause there would have more awesome games if had more sales. I, like most people didn’t even hear about until 2 years after it’s launch and even then I thought it was a handheld console at first. The game pad is so much fun to use. Luigi’s mansion for Nintendo land allows the player who controls the ghost to be invisible and sneak around using the map on the game pad while other players use the same map on the television to try to find the ghosts. It’s hard to describe but this style of play is the most fun multiplayer experience I have ever had! It’s a freakin blast! And I love the way the game pad fits in my hand, it’s so smooth. I love the Wii U! It’s lack of love deeply saddens me because it had so much potential. Like playing adventure games, you can use the game pad for your map!
That Luigi’s Mansion sounds like a lot of fun. I’ll definitely be trying that out. I really love the Wii U been playing it a ton since making this video. Thanks for sharing
To all Wii u fans like me who just got the system keep it plugged in as much as possible and try to use it at least 1 time a week the end is here apparently it's breaking after being inactive of using it for a while
I preferred the placement of the analog sticks on the gamepad and the pro controller vs the PS3 and Xbox. 32GB of internal memory was just mind boggling and not in a good way.
(0:12) In my case, I skipped on the Wii U and the 3DS because of a combination of the systems being region-locked, Singapore receiving U region (North American) consoles and games when (IMO) it should've received E region (European) consoles and games, Nintendo of Europe doing separate UK English localisations of a number of first-party games for those E region consoles, and my teenage self not being able to afford to import E region Nintendo stuff. These days, with the online stuff being basically gone at this point, I could probably get a locally purchased U region console and mod it, then change the region from U to E. Edit: From time to time, I had considered getting Wii U and 3DS consoles to play E region Wii, Wii U, DS, DSi, and 3DS games, but at the same time, considering my budget, I'm prioritising getting Switch games instead as most of the games I would want to play are available there, I have a backlog of games I haven't played (as I've mostly been reading books and playing Splatoon 2 and 3), and I have a few Switch and PC games on pre-order. However, for games that did get sequels on the Switch, I had wondered about playing the games in the series that were on the Wii U, and for games that were ported over, I may like to have fun with the GamePad functionality that had to be removed or scaled down in the Switch ports. (2:20) (2:35) 🥴
I didn't really appreciate the Wii u either, despite being really into the Wii as a system when it came out ( for after pub games with friends) or as a system to game on with my son. It wasn't until we acquired a Wii u from his uncle that I found out about jailbreaking etc. That really puts the Wii u in another league. I upgraded the gamepad battery, and can play without using a TV. Honestly, it is a bit heavy after a while. My son has his Switch, but I don't need to play on it as the Wii u does everything I need.
@@danal0gue sorry for the late response. I’ve done the one thing I swore I would never do. Anyway, the mod’s basically allow you to get most games for free, use Bluetooth to connect a controller to the Wii u, and have custom themes.
Wii U is one of my favorite consoles. I still buy games for it and play it. I dont really like switch which my kids play. Wii u had a such a great potential and some good games on it that its a shame it was replaced so early.
Wow…thanks for the video…. I have the Wii n the Wii U…just sitting n collecting dust….wanna get my Wii U up n working…I luv playing the Indiana Jones game….
I have been playing BOTW for the last month on my Wii U, just took out the 1st boss, and i am nowhere even close to completing it, great system, and after BOTW i have M3D, cap Toad, MK8, DKTF, Brous U and pikmen 3........oh and just so you kbow, to okay all thise games on the switch would cost me $500, but only cost me $120 on the Wii u. :-) Oh and i forgot to say all my wii controllers and pro wii controllers work on the U as do all my Wii games, and you can play almost all U games with Wii controller and turn the gamepad off.........while none work on the switch.
watching this bc i wanna buy a wii u to play windwaker, but all i see for sale seems to be missing stuff.. thanks for showing what you got in the box, i almost got scammed by someone not selling both chargers and adapters for the gamepad and console
Awesome video bro just watching today! Recently been following the Wii U to the point where I actually SOLD my Switch OLED in order to buy a Wii U in 2023! It was the only console I never owned. Same with my recently acquired New 2DS XL, 3DS and 3DS XL. Basically in my opinion they do way more than the Switch currently does aka themes to name a few. More importantly I smile more as a 42 year old man playing these older consoles than the next gen stuff and that's pretty sad to admit. My Nintendo Wii U Deluxe Black Edition plus Pro Controller and Cable with the 9 best games collection cost in total £191.39 all in for EVERYTHING!!! Sooooooooo cheap!! BARGAIN!! Only LEGIT console i've never owned before!!! Nintendo Wii U Deluxe Black Edition RRP when first released JUST for the console was £278.06!!! 😱😳 Even setting the Wii U up was more exciting than the Switch or any other Nintendo console and certainly my Series X and PS5!! The Wii U slating which CLEARLY turned out to be UTTER NONSENSE in my opinion having now got one myself. It's like the Rocky movies and more so an example of the current world problem of "The Matrix" as Andrew Tate would say and we are all TOLD WHAT TO LIKE AND NOT LIKE and also WHAT WE SHOULD FOLLOW just like sheep. I love a great underdog story. The Wii U is EXACTLY THAT! Go figure everyone 😱🤷🏻♂️Get one for YOURSELF and use YOUR OWN freedom of thoughts on it👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I want one just for wiiu and wii games only, to start collecting too some wii games are very good but my problem with them is they are not HD, I know that there is some apps on the homebrew that can fix a little like for example removing the deflickers.
In Nintendo Land, if possible, you should try to get someone to play with you since the best games are the multiplayer ones, especially the ones which require more than one player
You’re very handsome Dan 😍😜 loved the video. I just added a Wii U to my collection recently as well. Even though I have a switch and a Wii already. But I just love collecting. I Subbed 😇
i enjoy my cousin wii u also one thing ya may bash on the wii u hear me out on switch right your paying 50$ a year too play old vurtial console games like nes snes game cube wii Gameboy and advance and ds games on the switch right well on the wii u you can do that for free or just buy the game you wanted . my cousin modded his added allot of game cube games on it and they play well if not upscaled better the wii u is better than the switch in many ways i think . in my opinion my cousin wii u replace his gamecube pretty much use the classic controller i use the wii u classic ontroller or a brook super converter or a may flash i use my switch pro controller as well
Do not worry about getting another Gamepad. None of the games support multiple gamepads. There were plans but no one ever did it. I was a late adopter of the WiiU as well. I think it is a good system with bad marketing. Games I would suggest: Affordable Space Adventure (Digital only) Axiom Verge NES Remix Pack Star Fox Guard (I guess you can get Star Fox Zero wile you are at it) Super Mario Maker Tank! Tank! Tank! Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Wii Party U Wii Sports Club Wonderful 101 Xenoblade Chronicles X Yoshi's Wolly World ZombiU Great video. Have a great day.
So you was just collecting wiiu games before ever even owning the console ? Loved the wiiu when I owned one but now with the store shutting down and the games no where to be found or upgraded to switch no need
People only love it now because it’s dirt cheap and moddable….. Honestly, after owning that hunk of junk and playing the switch, the difference is night and day. The switch is so much better, it hurts…….
The Wii U is my favorite console ever, I got it on christmas 2015 with super mario maker and minecraft, tons of hours and memories on that thing. I miss the good old days
Same the nostalgia hits hard
It’s so underrated, idk why people hate it it’s one of the best 🔥
It's my second favorite console it's so good it gets way too much hate
Feels weird people saying the good old days when talking about 2015 lol.
@@CLBCrew96 facts
Definitely worth to homebrew it. You can play literally every Nintendo system on it with the exception of the switch
With the exception of 3ds though
You should try Yoshi's Wooly World, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Rayman Legends, Windwaker HD, Twilight Princess HD, Kirby and The Rainbow Curse, Pikmin 3, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, Need For Speed U, Batman: Arkham Origins, Paper Mario: Color Splash (believe me, give it a good try), and New Super Mario + Luigi U.

I got a switch 3 years after the release, because initially all the good games were Wii U ports which I already owned.
To all Wii u fans like me who just got the system keep it plugged in as much as possible and try to use it at least 1 time a week the end is here apparently it's breaking after being inactive of using it for a while
Get your hands on ZombiU, It's a great way to show how the gamepad could have been used in other games.
I picked that one up recently but haven’t gotten the chance to play it. Looking forward to it thanks
I wanted it for like 4 years now and I forgot that I wanted it and now that I found this video, I’m putting it on my wishlist again!
You should!
Could you review the M17 Retro handheld
I preferred the placement of the analog sticks on the gamepad and the pro controller vs the PS3 and Xbox. 32GB of internal memory was just mind boggling and not in a good way.

Bought the games before I had the Wii U console.
@@danal0gue I know, just pointing out the obvious
While playing Super Mario 3D you felt slow probably because in the switch port they upped the characters speed by like 50 or 30 percent cant remember
That makes a lot of sense. I was more used to the Switch version
@@danal0gue Or because you didn't hold the run button? Which is X or Y.

Not the Original Box for 3D World.
The case for the game? Or the box for the console?
splatoon best wii u game fr

i love my (modded) wii u!
How ist possible? The WiiU ist the best console ever made. Its a Wii but with HDMI.
This game will be useless in April, so play Splatoon whilst you still can! Also play Pikmin 3! Its such a good game
Not trying to hate but you need a better capture card your footage is stuttering really bad.

it's easy as 3DS? really interested just to play Breath of the wild and so one tbh
