I bought mine two weeks ago and 0 regrets, I also wanted to play wii u hd zelda remakes, btw the gamepad is awesome, it even can be used as a tv controller, now I don't have to search where it is before siting in my sofa, the only problem imo is the battery life, but hey charging it is also easy. But its the perfect console for someone like me who never had a Wii back then, and now I have the chance to play all those good games I've missed... Zelda Skyward Sword here I go, (also they are so cheap, I bought mine with all the cables and two games for the same price of 2 new switch games)
we bought one hoping to not have to buy another switch (which we did anyhow) and I think I was more excited about some of the games, and for how much cheaper the games were, than the kids were.
FYI the Wii controllers will also work for some Wii U games. Just check the back of the box to see compatible controllers. I use them for multiplayer in Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros for Wii U.
So the Wii U ( apart from storage, library, and some small issues ) had the potential to be Nintendo's best selling console ( for it's time ) if it wasn't for it's horrible advertising and how quickly after the wii it was released
@@MartinKincl1993 it was considering since the Wii sold so great, six years later everyone still had one and didn't really have a need to get a Wii u. the higher quality wasn't worth upgrading, especially since the Wii was marketed towards families and older people who would be less likely to go through the hassle of buying one when they had a perfectly good Wii.
Thank you so much for this video. I was looking for answer to this question on the Internet for such a long time before I got on your video. Thanks a lot. :)
Ok, so last Saturday, on October 8, I went to a birthday party, which had a game truck. I brought my copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii along with me and played the game on a Wii console outside the truck, and inside, I inserted the disc into a Wii U and played the game on it. I chose to play on both the TV and the GamePad. I was able to try out the Wii U's backward compatibility with Wii software for the first time. I also found out what the TV button on the GamePad does. Really wish I had this console.
@@Noah-hx9oi The Switch made new versions of Wii U games, but they still should've had Wii U games on the eShop. Or maybe modify the dock to play Wii U games. You wouldn't be able to play Wii U games on the go though, because the discs' diameters are longer than the Switch in portable mode's length, So they wouldn't fit. The Switch probably would've been able to play Gamecube games though.
It can even play gamecube games natively, but unfortunately, nintendo never released any of the gamecube titles on the eshop, so you can only play gamecube games by modding the wii u
I'm gonna by some Wii disks and a Wii remote so I can do this. 😂 Some games I want aren't available on the Wii u only on the Wii therefore this is perfect!
What did you expect to happen, one of the biggest selling points of the wii u is it’s backwards compatibility, and this video was made after the switch was released
@@Captain_Sir_Lord_Chimchar good lord, man. you just pulled up a video i don't even remember commenting on when i was fuckin 16. that's actually crazy ngl.
My game pad isn't working and I'm trying to play skylanders spyros adventure for wii, when I select TV only it just shuts down and brings me back to the normal wii u screen without the health warning screen or anythings.
I actually didn't know the Wii U had backward compatibility with the Wii until May 2018, when the GameTruck came to my school, and in there, I played New Super Mario Bros. U using a Wii Remote.
My wii got stolen when I was younger(it was a red one too😔😩😩) so my dad had to sell my wii games to get me a wiiu which was awesome now I’m thinking to just buy the wii games to play on my wiiu
How were people just finding this 6 years ago? I thought everyone knew this ever since the Wii U released, as there's literally a Wii Menu icon showing on the Wii U menu...
Original Wii have backward compatibility with GameCube (It have also 4 ports for GameCube Controllers and 2 slot memory card) and can be read GC mini-DVD and play their games. But illegal play GC games via SD or USB using App - Nintendon`t. Interesting this method work in WiiU?
I expected the backwards compatibility, but I didn't expect Wii menu/home page. That's pretty cool. It's like emulating the previous gen or something.
It’s a full Wii’s OS emulation, technically a WII with HDMI. Wii games actually do look better on WiiU than Wii.
Yeah
It’s not emulation, it’s more like thats there is a wii inside your wii u.
@@staidey5994 there's no actual emulation it was just built from the ground up to support the wii
It's not emulation, there's literally a Wii CPU along with the Wii u CPU Inside the console
Nostalgia just brings me back memories when I was a toddler.
Am i the only one who wants to buy Wii U in 2019 just to play wii games?
I’m literally thinking the same thing & km torn between just getting a normal Wii or the Wii U

Thank you for this video got wii u for sons Christmas and was about to get rid of all old games
They have the Wii games on the e shop

You can use the gamepad as a sensor too in case you lost or broke yours.
SO I GOT A WIRELESS SENSOR FOR NOTHING? damn now i regret not looking here first
Yeah.

actually it’s 3 i would assume. wii could play gamecube game
Aries Radke#6 this is the dumbest comment i've read this year lol, you need a wii to play gamecube games, so that wouldn't be 3 consoles in 1
BRUH
lol it has a wii menu option in the menu
@@ariesradke6193 The Wii U could've played Gamecube games, but for more recent Wii models and the Wii U, Nintendo took away that feature.

then there should have been a GameCube memory card adapter so you save data or go back where left off with

When you put wii games into a Wii U console, you’ll go to the Wii menu, and then you’ll see a game on the first wii channel.
01:09 except the gamecube controller, sadly
I actually didn't know the Wii U had backward compatibility with the Wii until May 2018, when the GameTruck came to my school, and in there, I played New Super Mario Bros. U using a Wii Remote.
I knew because I saw the wii menu channel and that made me come up with the idea to put a wii disc in.
He inserts it at 0:15
