The Wii U as of late is kind of caught in a vicious cycle: Nobody buys the Wii U because nobody makes games for the Wii U because nobody buys the Wii U because nobody makes games for the Wii U...
Aickavon the Techpriest Not really. Yes, Mario Kart 8 is selling well. It's sold over two million copies. But that's a far cry from "everyone", and Wii U sales overall have still been lukewarm.
HylianMadness well it can only go uphill! And alas, unfortunately most 'gamers' only buy big titles that are advertised because they are more casual console players than actual gamers you would often meet.
Watching this back in 2020, it really was a proto-Switch. Everything's much more streamlined and shiny in the switch but it's a very similar basic idea. Makes me really intrigued to see what they'll replace the switch with in a few years.
I doubt the switch will change a lot. What I think they'll do is release a brand new and improved switch but with a 1080p lovely oled display. All up to date specs that can actually handle 1080p 60fps or higher.
I like my Wii U. For your usual Mario games, it's great and its Call of Duty community is fairly lively. It's not ground-breaking, but it's a decent console. All it needs is more games. One thing I will say though is that the pro controller is absolutely fantastic. I've used the wiimote, the Wii U gamepad, the Playstation 3 controller and the Xbox 360 controller, but the pro controller is by far the most comfortable. If Nintendo did anything right with this console, it was the pro controller.
Indeed. At Launch, WiiU was pretty slow loading up games and just getting back to the main menu. Things move much faster now thanks to software updates.
The thing you have to buy seperately? Not a defence any more than the Wii Motion Plus was. Crap as the Kinect is, Microsoft still give you a non-moronic controller with the system. Sony never put a lot of stock in their crappy alternative controls and haven't changed the Dualshock layout in 4 generations.
~23 seconds to go from a game to the menu? Wow... My computer actually cold reboots faster than that (Cold reboot: Shut it off, then turn it back on again). Makes me wonder: Would it be faster shutting the console off, and then back on again instead of "going back" to the menu?
Apjooz so basically the time before consoles existed? all consoles are funny looking pcs. old consoles may not have an OS as we know it or an UI, but they're still computers. but if you're referring to additional functionality which was added to newer consoles: how is that bad? I like having a multi-media box that's capable of running amazing games. can't complain tbh
The most redeeming feature of the Wii U for me was being able to draw with it. Granted, the drawing limitations are..well...limited. But easy to get around if you're a creative person.
There is some good third party though that are underrated or no one gets or it gets underrated and then some people complain that there's no third party games to get lol...there's shovel knight for example, monster hunter 3, minecaft Etc
People say the Wii U is bad. I say, the Xbox One and PS4 games are going to being released on PC through Steam anyway. The Wii U has actual exclusives that will probably never go on another console. Games on the Xbox One that are worth playing: ...? Not really any, since they are either ports from Xbox 360 or PS3, or just another damn CoD sequel that 12 year olds are raving about. Not only that, but the Xbox One and PS4 have no backwards compatibility! Meaning, you can't use your old games that you had before. The Wii U has backwards compatibility with older Wii games, and the homebrew developers are working on a GameCube disc loader in the Wii U's Wii mode. All of the games on the Xbox One and PS4 are basically third-party developed games, with no strong launch titles. Sure, Assassin's Creed Unity is good, but it's on Steam, possibly getting a Steam Winter Sale treatment of a cheaper price. Also, if you want another damn CoD sequel, it's also on Steam. Most (if not all) of the non-first party games on Xbox One or PS4 are already on PC. CoD: Advanced Warfare? PC. Assassin's Creed Unity? PC. The games that are worth playing are on PC through Steam. The Wii U has actual exclusives that aren't complete shit.
Hah. I doubt that "XBOX ONE AND PS4 ARE BETTER DERP." Issue is: PC is more powerful than Xbox One and PS4. The Wii U has actual exclusives. Nintendo Land, New Super Mario Bros. U, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, etc, that will NEVER reach PC or other platforms. Getting a PC and a Wii U is what I've done, as PC is for playing exclusives, Xbox One, and PS4 games, whereas my Wii U is for playing older Wii games in HD and it's own exclusives. PC will, at some point, undercut the Xbox One and PS4 in price.
You're right. Also third party people say ughh just because of the fact that the coding is so different to the normal consoles. PS4 and XBone have very similar coding. Just get what appeals to you more, and for me, it is the PS4 I got yesterday(:
Not complaining. If Reggie wants to watch me, I'll apologize for just ACKNOWLEDGING his presence and carry on playing. Reggie is that good. I pray to Reggie before every meal. Reggie is love, Reggie is life.
***** You're all wrong, the new games are ASSFAULT, New Super Mario Bruhs 9, Supre Smesh Bras TITANIUM ULTRA MEGA PLUS EDITION & Knuckles and HURRDGURK Sports!

Wii U is actually better than it was back in 2012, whole lot of nice games to buy on virtual console, and a whole lot more games to play. It's pretty fast now too. Though, internet is a pain in the ass to get around christmas. When I first got mine in 2013, I didn't know that and I just permanently put it down until mk8 came around and I actually got the internet to work on it. But yeah, framerate is better, loading is faster, etc. Review is a bit dated now. The only thing that I think is a bit sucky about it is my connection with my gamepad to the wii u, disconnects itself from the wii u, but I guess it's cause I sit a bit far from my wii u.
It has to be a problem with your controller or maybe the wireless receiver inside the console. I recommend calling Nintendo's customer support and/or taking it to a gaming repair shop.
Sweet home from the beginning and I love the fact is the best thing ever is when you have to be a good day to be a good time to get a new one is going on a Saturday morning to be able the first place for a few weeks ago.
(actually) Fun fact: The "sensor bar" on the Wii and Wii U is not a sensor at all, it just has ir LEDs in it, and the controller has a tiny ir camera in it which does the sensing. Why is this fun, you ask?? Cuz it means that anything that can emit infrared light can be used as a sensor bar. Got a candle handy??! Boom! Stone age wireless sensor bar!!! 🤯🤯
It also means that if you happen to play in a room with windows that let in sunlight, that your wii gameplay experience just went right down the toilet. Ask me how I know~!
@@SheepUndefined Yeah, that was also a huge problem with them. They do/did make aftermarket sensor bars with much stronger IR LEDs, that were meant to work better in sunlight, but even those didn't really fix it. It was honestly a pretty poor design, on an already underpowered console. I wish Nintendo would get back to producing top tier offerings again, but it will probably never happen
You can see with the will u that Nintendo were going with regards to the switch with the fact that you could play it on the console and then take the game pad away from the console to play somewhere else
+Nice Guy Fedora Atheist "I don't know what they're going to use that for. Something in the future! I'm sure it will be as useful as that card reader they released for the Gameboy Color."
The WiiU is worth the buy for Nintendo Land, Mario Kart 8 (possibly one of the best MK games), Super Smash Bros U, Mario Bros U, and Mario 3D World. Some people are loving Bayonetta 2 as well, but it's not my thing. I've spent more time on the new Mario Kart than I care to admit. Whilst my hands are far too big to comfortably use the Game Pad, my wife likes it and I stick with the old Wii Remote.
I got a Wii U a few days ago as a birthday present. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is. I'm not a console gamer and stick to PC but I have always loved Mario, DK and Zelda so in turn I usually get whatever Nintendo has released. The loading times isn't as long as Ashens makes out or at least it isn't slow to me. The games are nice, I asked for a Wii U mainly because of Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, EarthBound (virtual console) and Zelda: Wind Waker. I feel like the Wii U is a very underrated console, I love it and have spent 2 days non-stop playing games since I've bought it. It was definitely worth the cost and recommend buying it.
I don't have time for to see the game and the games will be a little more annoying game because it doesn't play have the games new games like the games you are have and the game doesn't will be a fun game but you can't play games or game games play the same game play and the games play games like and the game play games like is not the only games yyyou is the best games that game is cvtvyvyb with no problem but it is so hard for a little to do with your game or not hyubybeuvtghgggggghhhhgtcftctcrcrcrctctctctvtvtvtbybubibonon
I have a lot of fun with my Wii u. Nintendo could have made way more better decisions on every regard when it comes to this console, but it still has good games and I love being able to play Bayonetta while I'm in the bathroom 😂
OneOkChris The fact that you sit there and permeate in your stink playing video games, wiping your ass, no doubt spreading your shit bacteria all over controller. Troll, yeah sure. If that's what you want to call it.
I got one for the 1st party games, the main thing for me is the price. I still have a good ps3, and had a 360. I am not interested in the Xbox 1 because well, I want a system for gaming not a multi-media thing, I use my computer for that. So I'm waiting for some really big PS4 games, yes there is destiny, but I'm not big online multiplayer, so I can wait lol. Really the only online game I play is DCUO and I play that through my pc, and pve. I'm going to go with the ps4 eventually but for now I'm fine with the PS3 and Wiiu. I get smash bros and the mario games, and upcoming zelda games.
The Wii U is awesome... as a second console. I can't recommend it if it's the only gaming machine you're going to have this generation. The system exclusives take a nice big fat dump all over what's on offer on the PS4 and the Xbox One when it comes to exclusives. However, the fact remains that regardless of how good the system exclusives are, one Mario Kart 8 or Smash Bros or Mario 3D World or whatever is not worth missing out on 5-10 multiplatform games that don't land on the Wii U. If you're looking at getting a second console, the choice is painfully obvious. I'm a PC gamer so I can live with a gaming PC and a Wii U. Actually I've found the gamepad very handy for watching RUclips and Netflix in the middle of the night in the comfort of my bed without disturbing anybody... I didn't have to buy a separate tablet just to do that and it's a better option than doing it through my phone.

Well seeing as how you are watching a video about the Wii U even though you obviously hate it so much I can tell you are just here to troll, so on behalf of all the internet I shall tell you sir, go fuck yourself, nobody likes a troll so stop coming online just to shit on other peoples thoughts and opinions. That being said, if you knew a god damn thing about technology you would know that the Wii U is only a little less powerful than PS4 and Xbox1. I will admit it is indeed less powerful, but people are making it seem like it is a world of difference and it really is not. The Wii U can even deliver the same graphical quality as the other next-gen, most people will think I'm insane for saying this but if you knew ANYTHING about technology one look at the tech specs of all the systems and you would know that the differences in power doesn't actually hold the Wii U back by much and the right developer can make a game just as beautiful as anything you will ever see in a next gen console. Now go back to playing the...ummmmm what 8th call of duty? ahh who gives a shit which iteration it is, you know it is just killing people and...uuuuuuummmmm killing more people and OMG KILLING EVEN MORE PEOPLE NO F'ING WAY! Translation for 060steve because he is obviously about as bright as a burnt out light bulb: Nintendo is the only developer that does anything original. Both Microsoft and Sony blatantly ripped off Nintendo many times before but also in the latest gen, and even the Wii U. Now steve, I know you're thinking "Derrrr what do you mean?" and I shall explain my dim-witted youtube user, you see smart glass second screen technology that both PS and Xbox use is awfully familiar to something that has been out for more than a year now...hmmmm now what was it??? Oh yes the FUCKING WII U GAMEPAD! Now I doubt you even have the mind power to read this much text, but I will elaborate further for those with the attention span greater than a goldfish, the Kinect, even though it is slightly more imaginative than Sony's attempt, was clearly just trying to get into the motion control Nintendo was so successful with, and PS move was literally just a Wii mote for the PS. And one final thought, in this likely futile attempt to teach you exactly how ignorant you are, THE WII COMPLETELY RAPED THE PS3 AND XBOX 360 IN SALES YOU MORON, AND HAD THE ALL-TIME (that's right literally the number one in all of history!!!) BEST-SELLING VIDEO GAME, Wii Sports.
nowmowcow Of course... because by finding a rant about how bad the WiiU is whilst browsing through one of my favourite RUclipsrs' videos clearly makes me a troll... ¬____¬ I say its shit, Ashens effectively says its shit, a large portion of the video-gaming community says its shit and companies like naughty dog say nintendo are irrelevant... The WiiU can barely show graphical fidelities akin tho the 360 and Ps3, so, how you can say its "only a little less powerful than the XB1 and Ps4" I do not know... The facts are, its graphics are slightly worse than the old-gen of consoles and it is EXTREMELY held back by it components, it has no dev. support, it has a mockery of a gamepad and Nintendo have long since left the bulk of gamers to instead appeal to people either below the age of 10 and people above the age of 60.
060steve Implying graphics sell a system, if you don't like it don't fucking complain about it in a desperate attempt to hinder other peoples enjoyment of it. The Wii U has exclusive titles you will never get anywhere else. Also Ashens never said it was a piece of shit? He pointed out it's flaws which were improved upon in updates and even said he thought the first party titles were very fun to play. Judging from your assesment I assume you own a Wii U and have played it enough to make that judgment? I seriously doubt that. I seriously don't understand why you think bringing down another console will make yours look better. Theres no 'bad' console but if you need games with graphics so perfect that very little effort was put into the gameplay or C.O.D Black Ops 382 or whatever the fuck they're on now be my guest but don't bring other peoples opinions down because you're too ignorant to respect what others like.
whatever you say mustachio'ed michael cera. but i have to say i quite like it and am glad to own one. btw i loved you in scutt pulgrim tho your mustache was covered in make-up to conceal it during the duration of the film...
I totally agree, Its why Steam and GOG have become so popular in recent years. A digital download means you don't own a physical copy of the game, you're simply downloading some data, thus prices should be infinitely cheaper than buying a physical disk. I've been a console gamer all my life but looking at the way things are going I think I'm going to have to convert to PC very soon. Luckily the wired 360 controller works out of the box on a Windows machine
Did that include the time to sow the seeds, wait for nature to nurture them and then harvesting the corn? And then for you to pulp a tree for the paper for the bag?
Yeah good god, i spent about all afternoon downloading and updating on the release day. i were so angry. But now (4-5 updates later) it's nothing to complain about, fairly quick. I've read some of the comments below, WHO the F-K bye's a nintendo for 3rd party games? I love nintendo and i have grown up with nintendo consoles. I love all of my other consoles to. Got them all for all of the different experiences. U buy nintendo for nintendo titles and xbox/playstationfor all the other games. The bottom line is that people like different things. I love it all, except sports games and shit like that lol :D
AGREED. While Third-Party support on Wii U would be nice, I really play Nintendo for First Party titles. That's not to say the Wii U doesn't have some good third-party exclusives, I'm just saying that Third-Party support is not desperately needed for Wii U to succeed. We just need good first-party titles and people will buy it.
They should make the Wii G, which has an HD remake of Mario is Missing.

This video has reminded me what Gaming on the WiiU felt like at launch.
It so much faster now.
Indeed. At Launch, WiiU was pretty slow loading up games and just getting back to the main menu. Things move much faster now thanks to software updates.
XioXaio12 Yeah I didn't play my Wii U until Pikmin 3 came out, and I noticed it was a hell of a lot faster.
Not too surprising since the Update that made the WiiU faster came out around the time Pikmin 3 came out.
Even though I'm mostly a PC & PS3 person, I have to admit that the HRRR-GURK is easily one of my favorite consoles to come out in recent years.
Ashens is a funny dude every video cracks me up, very good sense of humor.

When I first got mine in 2013, I didn't know that and I just permanently put it down until mk8 came around and I actually got the internet to work on it. But yeah, framerate is better, loading is faster, etc. Review is a bit dated now. The only thing that I think is a bit sucky about it is my connection with my gamepad to the wii u, disconnects itself from the wii u, but I guess it's cause I sit a bit far from my wii u.
I can play my Wii U from my living room which is 15 - 20 metres away from my bedroom. It must be a problem with your controller.
vDom Maybe It's because my wii u is on my second story?
Gam3H3ro How many metres away are you from the console when you play? You are recommended to play within 10 metres.
vDom I probably play like 5 feet away, I usually sit on my bed.
It has to be a problem with your controller or maybe the wireless receiver inside the console. I recommend calling Nintendo's customer support and/or taking it to a gaming repair shop.
Boom, boom, boom, Everybody say Wii-U!
Wii-Uuu! :D
Your anecdote about you meeting Robert made me laugh inexplicably
All of the buttons on the Gamepad work fine for me...
And my 14 year old nephew.

The controller was designed in 2012 and still exists in 2016.
what kind of response is that.
Tamer Kassem I'm 14 and it is fine
So.. should we know, heh, "switch" to the new one?
I'll get me coat.
Sweet home from the beginning and I love the fact is the best thing ever is when you have to be a good day to be a good time to get a new one is going on a Saturday morning to be able the first place for a few weeks ago.
I agree?
Dude I swear to God every time you start humming The Girl for Ipanema I just about lose it, lol!
I think ashen would be good at let's plays.
it be good for a while but I don't think it'll be good in the long run. but who knows,
maybe it'll be nice

(actually) Fun fact: The "sensor bar" on the Wii and Wii U is not a sensor at all, it just has ir LEDs in it, and the controller has a tiny ir camera in it which does the sensing. Why is this fun, you ask?? Cuz it means that anything that can emit infrared light can be used as a sensor bar. Got a candle handy??! Boom! Stone age wireless sensor bar!!! 🤯🤯
It also means that if you happen to play in a room with windows that let in sunlight, that your wii gameplay experience just went right down the toilet.
Ask me how I know~!
@@SheepUndefined Yeah, that was also a huge problem with them. They do/did make aftermarket sensor bars with much stronger IR LEDs, that were meant to work better in sunlight, but even those didn't really fix it. It was honestly a pretty poor design, on an already underpowered console. I wish Nintendo would get back to producing top tier offerings again, but it will probably never happen
You can see with the will u that Nintendo were going with regards to the switch with the fact that you could play it on the console and then take the game pad away from the console to play somewhere else
Ashens predicted amiibo.
All he did was point out that there's an NFC reader. He didn't predict anything.
+Nice Guy Fedora Atheist "I don't know what they're going to use that for. Something in the future! I'm sure it will be as useful as that card reader they released for the Gameboy Color."
SlenderSphere once again, he didn't predict anything. You didn't prove my point wrong
He didn't predict anything.
Amiibo was shown before the console was launched along with Rayman Legends trailer, except they changed a lot since then.
The Wii U actually has a tripod screwhole under the ridge with the ZL and ZR buttons
This makes me feel old, 9 years ago. Reminds me a ton of the Switch
ZombiU costs like 10 pounds in the E-shop now...
The WiiU is worth the buy for Nintendo Land, Mario Kart 8 (possibly one of the best MK games), Super Smash Bros U, Mario Bros U, and Mario 3D World. Some people are loving Bayonetta 2 as well, but it's not my thing. I've spent more time on the new Mario Kart than I care to admit. Whilst my hands are far too big to comfortably use the Game Pad, my wife likes it and I stick with the old Wii Remote.
Ehh what about SSB U
Zelda!
Flick the wii remote is utter garbage to play with one is to admit defeat. Wii u classic pro controller
Flick Mario 3D World was really disappointing
Galaxy and mario 64 were a lot better
Kippy Kip mario 3d world is a pretty awesome game nothing compares to mario 64 though i wish it would have been more like that too i guess
Forget the bells and whistles, were here for the bits and bobs...
I love the way the gamepad feels in my hand I didn't at first but now I find it like butter...
My advice with youtube... Don't use the app. Open the browser and use youtube on there. You get proper fullscreen and it is much faster.
i know you mean on the wii u but its also true for every other device ever
The RUclips application on my iPhone runs perfectly fine, no lag.
Panzer Gaming well english is my second language so fuck you
Those false words that you had displayed already prove how low class you are.
Panzer Gaming hi who r u
Nintendo keeps their hardware a bit behind but hey at least it's not $400-500 (We're looking at you PS4 and XBOne
yep. 5 years later from this comment and the ps5 is gonna be 550 and the switch is 300.
So a Wii U is essentially a giant ass DS ...
lol
No.
Thanks for showing me Flyleaf and Hidden in Plain Sight, you're awesome ashens!

I always use 2 fingers (index and middle) for bumper and trigger buttons. am I the only one?
nope xD
I do too.
as do i
no I do
No. I do that sometimes as well.
If the butttons and batterylife is a pain in the ass get a wii u pro controller
Such control. Much alternate. Very use. Wow
Such comment
Very thumbs up
Many thanks, so grateful, amaze, wow
Much hateful, so mean, no doge heaven for u, wow
I got a Wii U a few days ago as a birthday present. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is. I'm not a console gamer and stick to PC but I have always loved Mario, DK and Zelda so in turn I usually get whatever Nintendo has released.
The loading times isn't as long as Ashens makes out or at least it isn't slow to me. The games are nice, I asked for a Wii U mainly because of Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, EarthBound (virtual console) and Zelda: Wind Waker.
I feel like the Wii U is a very underrated console, I love it and have spent 2 days non-stop playing games since I've bought it. It was definitely worth the cost and recommend buying it.
This video has more dislikes than the PS4 and Xbox One videos

Npc_madman Who are you talking too?
I thought the wiiu was just a controller with a screen but its actually a console that explains why the Wii channels have been shut dowm
To be honest only the controller was advertised in the uk! However not really interested in Nintendo after the first Wii
harry williams It wasn't marketed well anywhere. When it was first announced, even hardcore fans were unsure about what it was.
Screw the switch, I'm hyped for the hrrr gerk
That neo-field sensor thing is used for the new Amibo thing.
I have a lot of fun with my Wii u. Nintendo could have made way more better decisions on every regard when it comes to this console, but it still has good games and I love being able to play Bayonetta while I'm in the bathroom 😂
Disgusting idiot. You ever heard of wiping your ass and moving on with your life?
Don't worry, once you become an adult you too will learn about the bathroom and how it's a refuge.
+pearlmax what's so disgusting about having a little entertainment while using the bathroom? Try to troll just a bit better haha
OneOkChris The fact that you sit there and permeate in your stink playing video games, wiping your ass, no doubt spreading your shit bacteria all over controller. Troll, yeah sure. If that's what you want to call it.
+pearlmax 1. air freshener 2. hand soap 3. disinfectant wipes. problem solved :)
"nobody buys a wii u" Nintendo: SMASH BROS TO U (GET IT?)
Isn't gonna save the Wii U just offset some of the losses of the company.

Diego Lara I'm just stating the bitter truth.
Hotsex spy "Bitter"
I got one for the 1st party games, the main thing for me is the price. I still have a good ps3, and had a 360. I am not interested in the Xbox 1 because well, I want a system for gaming not a multi-media thing, I use my computer for that. So I'm waiting for some really big PS4 games, yes there is destiny, but I'm not big online multiplayer, so I can wait lol. Really the only online game I play is DCUO and I play that through my pc, and pve. I'm going to go with the ps4 eventually but for now I'm fine with the PS3 and Wiiu. I get smash bros and the mario games, and upcoming zelda games.
The Wii U is awesome... as a second console. I can't recommend it if it's the only gaming machine you're going to have this generation. The system exclusives take a nice big fat dump all over what's on offer on the PS4 and the Xbox One when it comes to exclusives. However, the fact remains that regardless of how good the system exclusives are, one Mario Kart 8 or Smash Bros or Mario 3D World or whatever is not worth missing out on 5-10 multiplatform games that don't land on the Wii U. If you're looking at getting a second console, the choice is painfully obvious. I'm a PC gamer so I can live with a gaming PC and a Wii U. Actually I've found the gamepad very handy for watching RUclips and Netflix in the middle of the night in the comfort of my bed without disturbing anybody... I didn't have to buy a separate tablet just to do that and it's a better option than doing it through my phone.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand there is my reason why I like to have physical copy of games, and everybody should still support physical copies...
kinda of a bummer it doesn't have an Ethernet port
Because it's faster, more reliable and more secure than wifi. Using ethernet over wifi can cut around 15ms ping in most situations, also it won't cut off if someones turns on a microwave in your house.
+Aleksandr Kamarov And not everyone has solid wifi.
:P
+Aleksandr Kamarov You can get an compatible USB to ethernet adapter for £8 on amazon.
USB adapter will work with it!
+Aleksandr Kamarov shiii i thought it did well so much for better internet on my new wii u that i still havent seen yet until i go home lel
Play this thing way more than the PS4 or Xbox. Also has more games that are my cup of tea. Shame it has lost all momentum thus year.
GamerWho what do you mean?
The WiiU is to the XB1 and Ps4, what the Wii is to the XB360 and Ps3.
Anyone who calls this piece of garbage next-gen is extremely deluded....
Well seeing as how you are watching a video about the Wii U even though you obviously hate it so much I can tell you are just here to troll, so on behalf of all the internet I shall tell you sir, go fuck yourself, nobody likes a troll so stop coming online just to shit on other peoples thoughts and opinions. That being said, if you knew a god damn thing about technology you would know that the Wii U is only a little less powerful than PS4 and Xbox1. I will admit it is indeed less powerful, but people are making it seem like it is a world of difference and it really is not. The Wii U can even deliver the same graphical quality as the other next-gen, most people will think I'm insane for saying this but if you knew ANYTHING about technology one look at the tech specs of all the systems and you would know that the differences in power doesn't actually hold the Wii U back by much and the right developer can make a game just as beautiful as anything you will ever see in a next gen console. Now go back to playing the...ummmmm what 8th call of duty? ahh who gives a shit which iteration it is, you know it is just killing people and...uuuuuuummmmm killing more people and OMG KILLING EVEN MORE PEOPLE NO F'ING WAY! Translation for 060steve because he is obviously about as bright as a burnt out light bulb: Nintendo is the only developer that does anything original. Both Microsoft and Sony blatantly ripped off Nintendo many times before but also in the latest gen, and even the Wii U. Now steve, I know you're thinking "Derrrr what do you mean?" and I shall explain my dim-witted youtube user, you see smart glass second screen technology that both PS and Xbox use is awfully familiar to something that has been out for more than a year now...hmmmm now what was it??? Oh yes the FUCKING WII U GAMEPAD! Now I doubt you even have the mind power to read this much text, but I will elaborate further for those with the attention span greater than a goldfish, the Kinect, even though it is slightly more imaginative than Sony's attempt, was clearly just trying to get into the motion control Nintendo was so successful with, and PS move was literally just a Wii mote for the PS. And one final thought, in this likely futile attempt to teach you exactly how ignorant you are, THE WII COMPLETELY RAPED THE PS3 AND XBOX 360 IN SALES YOU MORON, AND HAD THE ALL-TIME (that's right literally the number one in all of history!!!) BEST-SELLING VIDEO GAME, Wii Sports.
nowmowcow tl;dr
nowmowcow Of course... because by finding a rant about how bad the WiiU is whilst browsing through one of my favourite RUclipsrs' videos clearly makes me a troll... ¬____¬
I say its shit, Ashens effectively says its shit, a large portion of the video-gaming community says its shit and companies like naughty dog say nintendo are irrelevant...
The WiiU can barely show graphical fidelities akin tho the 360 and Ps3, so, how you can say its "only a little less powerful than the XB1 and Ps4" I do not know...
The facts are, its graphics are slightly worse than the old-gen of consoles and it is EXTREMELY held back by it components, it has no dev. support, it has a mockery of a gamepad and Nintendo have long since left the bulk of gamers to instead appeal to people either below the age of 10 and people above the age of 60.
060steve Implying graphics sell a system, if you don't like it don't fucking complain about it in a desperate attempt to hinder other peoples enjoyment of it. The Wii U has exclusive titles you will never get anywhere else. Also Ashens never said it was a piece of shit? He pointed out it's flaws which were improved upon in updates and even said he thought the first party titles were very fun to play. Judging from your assesment I assume you own a Wii U and have played it enough to make that judgment? I seriously doubt that. I seriously don't understand why you think bringing down another console will make yours look better. Theres no 'bad' console but if you need games with graphics so perfect that very little effort was put into the gameplay or C.O.D Black Ops 382 or whatever the fuck they're on now be my guest but don't bring other peoples opinions down because you're too ignorant to respect what others like.
whatever you say mustachio'ed michael cera. but i have to say i quite like it and am glad to own one.
btw i loved you in scutt pulgrim tho your mustache was covered in make-up to conceal it during the duration of the film...
Wii U has improved a lot since, and Splatoon is FANTASTIC!!!
so basically it's just a 'ds' and a 'wii' put together
No, the ds is a handheld, wii is not, u cannot mash them up
Andrew Hill switch pls
It is in 2015 the WII U is really fast
+MrEpicRobot it is a more powerful system than in the video
+Austin Foster Its the same hardware..
+Luke Thompson There were serious speed improvement in the updates.
I totally agree, Its why Steam and GOG have become so popular in recent years. A digital download means you don't own a physical copy of the game, you're simply downloading some data, thus prices should be infinitely cheaper than buying a physical disk. I've been a console gamer all my life but looking at the way things are going I think I'm going to have to convert to PC very soon. Luckily the wired 360 controller works out of the box on a Windows machine
Its 2017 and Im playing Breath of the Wild on my WiiU and am loving it. Not in a hurry to get the Switch tho
Do you have it now?
@@Bendyrulz No I think I traded it in, I got BOTW on my switch now lol
Out of place comment: XboxOne is just about the dumbest name I ever heard for the 3RD CONSLE IN A THING
It just makes no sense overall...

You are not allowed to swear whilst you have a sweet Nintendo device in your hands.
Unfortunately the Wii U /isnt/ sweet
The fact that IM playing earthbound right now determined that was a Lie
Grag Hasseblut i can confirm the wii u is not sweet i just licked my gamepad
justin rivera Indeed, it tastes just like a used ipad
Grag Hasseblut I iz gonna get da Nintendo Fanboys to give you a stern talking to.
Ten years… that went quick.
The prototype nintendo switch. Love it

Well, i wanna messege Nintendo now, saying "Get the prices cheaper or i will Wii on U!"

The Nintendo codename NX is going to be called the Hrrkgrrk
sensor bar available in poundland, umm, good for you nintendo
it took me an hour and a half to update it but it was well worth it to play smash bros
Did that include the time to sow the seeds, wait for nature to nurture them and then harvesting the corn? And then for you to pulp a tree for the paper for the bag?
Yeah good god, i spent about all afternoon downloading and updating on the release day. i were so angry.
But now (4-5 updates later) it's nothing to complain about, fairly quick.
I've read some of the comments below, WHO the F-K bye's a nintendo for 3rd party games? I love nintendo and i have grown up with nintendo consoles. I love all of my other consoles to. Got them all for all of the different experiences.
U buy nintendo for nintendo titles and xbox/playstationfor all the other games.
The bottom line is that people like different things. I love it all, except sports games and shit like that lol :D
AGREED. While Third-Party support on Wii U would be nice, I really play Nintendo for First Party titles. That's not to say the Wii U doesn't have some good third-party exclusives, I'm just saying that Third-Party support is not desperately needed for Wii U to succeed. We just need good first-party titles and people will buy it.
