    The Wii U is met with praise and criticism, but no matter what it was innovative and that is what Nintendo does best. From this console we had some amazing hits, with games from franchises we have not seen in years to even a new IP that carried over to the Nintendo Switch.

      If you want me to be brutally honest, I haven't kept up with your Top 10 series as much as I have your Completionist reviews/videos. That said, however, I have been a long time fan for years and can say that the Final Fantasy one peaked my interest the most. Hope this bit of feedback helps! :)

    I’m normally terrible at picking favorites, but without any doubts, the Wii U is my favorite console of all time. I’ve discovered dozens of games on this system, old and new alike. Mario 3D World, DKC: Tropical Freeze, Darksiders 2, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Axiom Verge, Shovel Knight, Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy, Guacamelee, Arkham City, Freedom Planet, Smash Bros, Breath of the Wild, and countless others have occupied my time well. Excellent list as always, Jirard!

    Fully agree with all these games and they deserve much more credit and attention. Other games include DKC Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Captain Toad, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Star Fox Guard and Fatal Frame 5. If you haven't played these fun, varied games then you should. Its unfortunate people don't see how necessary the Wii U was and that it produced many great games for gamers looking for unique, interesting experiences. They have ironed out a few issues and produced what very well be the greatest video game console of all time with the Switch, built off of the foundation of everything that has come before. That didn't come around by chance or coincidence.

      @@AbdulKareem-gb1ed 10 was decent at best. 9 and 8 don't really count because they were Wii game, not Wii U games (even then 9 wasn't all that great). Though I suppose that Wii Party U was another good party game was on the system. I remember playing Mario Party 10 with a bunch of friends at a graduation party, and we had a fun time bitching about how bad and unfair the game was (seriously, Bowser mode was bullshit if you weren't Bowser). It had some decent minigames, so it at least had that, but as an overall experience, it was decent at best.
      And as for my thoughts on Mario Party 8... I enjoyed it, but at the same time I know that objectively it's not that good. It has some... interesting boards (half of them are just a straight line or a circle, but the other half were great). The thing that really drags 8 down is the lackluster minigames. Half of them were just basic motion control games.

    The Wii U, while it had its flaws, was a fantastic console imo. Sure, it had its blunders (Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival, Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, Paper Mario Colour Splash and Star Fox Zero being the biggest mishaps imo), but it had some quality gems during its lifetime. Nintendo Land is one of the best multiplayer games I've ever played (mainly thanks to Mario Chase), Splatoon is one of the best online multiplayer shooters out there, Super Mario 3D World, while it's not Odyssey, was fun in its own right and it has a fantastic soundtrack. Mario Kart 8 is my favorite Mario Kart of all time, and Smash Bros Wii U was fun to play, and probably the closest Nintendo has gotten to matching Melee in terms of quality. Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is a fantastic puzzle game, and smaller franchises like Pikmin and Bayonetta got a chance to shine of the system. Then there's Super Mario Maker... overall, a fantastic system with some great games, some of which I haven't mentioned in detail, like Woolly World and Tropical Freeze. Hopefully the Switch can continue to live up to the quality of the Wii U, which it has been doing a fantastic job thus far.

    I almost agree with you on the Vista U, Switch 10 comparison.
    Windows Vista added so many features we take for granted today, like pasting images directly in our browser, hitting Windows key and being able to search our computer instead of manually finding programs through a list, the _Snipping Tool,_ it was a huge boost from XP in features. It just ran like shit.
    But Windows 7 was the culmination of an optimized and improved Vista. Windows 10 was the same thing, but for Windows 8.

    • @oromain
      @oromain 6 лет назад

      Windows 8.1 is part of Windows 8's support lifecycle. It _is_ Windows 8. A giant update to it. In fact, Windows 8 was immediately unsupported and all 8 users had to update to 8.1 to continue getting updates.
      Windows 8.1 was very much like a Service Pack for 8 the way SP2 and SP3 were for XP, the only difference being it wasn't available through Windows Update and had to be installed from the Windows Store

    • @CyberInferno
      @CyberInferno 6 лет назад

      +Oro Windows 8 was not immediately unsupported when 8.1 was released. 8.1 was released October 18, 2013. Windows 8 EOL was January 1, 2016. So you still had over 2 years left of support.

Now that I finally got this system, I can get the games that I've been wanting for a long time. Thank you!!!

    1. Super Smash Bros

    3. Bayonetta 2
    4. Mario Maker
    5. Mario Kart 8
    6. Tropical Freeze
    7. Pikmin 3
    8. Shovel Knight
    9. Splatoon
    10. Xenoblade Chronicles X
    I did not add Windwaker since its kind of a port or BoTW since I count that as a Switch game instead. Now please port Wonderful 101 to the Switch!

  • @ViciousVirusV2
    @ViciousVirusV2 6 лет назад +8

    Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze..... and Pikmin 3....

  • @Izimaka
    @Izimaka 6 лет назад +4

    I still love my Wii U. Between Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Splatoon, I'm pretty sure that the only console that I've spent more time on was handhelds, thanks in part to Monster Hunter moving to 3DS only afterwards. I got to experience Wind waker for the first time because of it, and while Smash and Super mario maker didn't hold my interest as long as the hundreds of hours sucked up by the main two, I'm happy I got to experience them. I'm glad so many of the games on the system are getting ports and sequels so other people can experience them too, but I'll be keeping my Wii U forever even if it's only for nostalgia.

  • @kylegetz4917

    I defy anyone who said the WiiU was a failed console. It was the first proper shared console my fiance and I bouhht together and came out at a time when we needed it most.
    Plus it just had a great line up that has only been overshadowed by Switch ports of... the same lineup. Which there is no reason to rebuy IMO.

      They got rid of it WAY to early, Switch had been out for barely 7-ish months and it was gone meanwhile Wii Shop Channel only got discontinued (pretty much) yesterday. Only reason Wii U still has online is because the 3DS runs off of the same online service

    Mr. Completionist, Today I present you with a challenge, when you completed splatoon on the show I was impressed , you were able to get to the top of the rankings system, get every weapon, and 100% the single player campaign, however there is still more to be achieved, the sequel is out now and to complete it would be your ultimate acheivement, a true test of your abilities. 4 ranked game modes to get to the top of, dozens of weapons to buy, a co-op mode to level up in, and by the end of this summer; 2 separate single player campaigns to complete 100%, but I even challenge you to obtain each and every one of the hundreds of clothing items in the game and level them all up one by one. Surely this is a challenge worthy of your title. Better get started, you don't want a sequel to come out before you're done.

      I still have better memories also, even if just comparing the first year. I don't think the switch is better either, due to not being able to use it as a second screen like the Wii U Gamepad. Could not play Starfox or Pikmin 3 properly on the Switch! I loved the Wii U for that.

    • @pforgottonsoul
      @pforgottonsoul 6 лет назад
