From Wii Sports to Mario Galaxy to Super Smash Bros Brawl there were so many games that made the Wii something truly special.
What was your favorite Wii game?
Wii sports I still use a Wii.

Either you hate it,
you think it's alright,
or you'd take a bullet for it.

I hated it for a long time, but now I'm ready to move up a notch to say it's at least alright lmao

If feels weird to know a lot of the younger generation hasn't played this lol, so thanks for making this.
You haven’t lived if you haven’t thrown your bowling ball back in Wii sports
ThatWoodCD Facts
I’m 9 I play my wii everyday sometimes with family
Dani_0 teach en young teach em good, first piece of technology I ever touched was a wii and twilight princess
Yeah, it is. But then I think about the fact that I just discovered the n64 and gamecube existed and think of all the 90s gamers dying inside
Mario kart with the boys was my childhood
Super smash bros for me
Mario bros wii after school with my 2 friends
Same here
Same!
Til this day
I can 100% guarantee that it's just nostalgia, but I love the Wii's graphics. Those jagged edges combined with it's weird pastel colors really bring the whole experience together for me.
Most of the first party games looked great and there were even some good looking third party games too. People just shat on the Wii's graphics because they weren't 1080p Ultra HD Hyper Realistic Every Strand Of Hair Rendered In Real Time like the 360 or PS3
@@hasi706 Exactly, lots of people like ultra graphics, but such as myself, I have a Wii and I don't think it's bad at all.
I played the hell out of my Wii, but I was young and my parents didn’t let me play online
Riiconnect24 and wiimmfi
I played my Wii constantly when I was a kid but my parents never allowed me buy anything on the online shop. I missed out on some amazing games.
My parents don't remember the code to the Wii it was that long ago. XD
@@scootergrant8683 i never got rid of the parental controls on my wii so every time i open it to play Just Dance 3 it makes me put in a pin
Dusted off our ole Wii and connected it to our ole 720p TV in Kitchen so we can exercise and laugh with Wii Sports. Purchased an Xbox, but returned it unopened when we realized there were no similar Xbox games. 70s couple in self isolation with Wii.
Have fun! Stay Safe!
No better way to spend self isolation. With a loved one and a wii. Sounds awesome! Have a great time!
Sharon D Slater JUST DANCE WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION
The Rainbow of Life Kinect adventures but that game was kinda lacklustre
Awesome
The wii is the best system for home brew and just modding in general
Id say the switch is getting up there however dont recommend it intil the console is dead
i prefer the psvita because is portable and you dont need aa bateries
Migrant Thought the only reason the Wii wins that war is because I can’t find a switch at the local pawn shop for 10$
I'd say the wii u is better because it can do everything you can do on wii hombrew with the added additions of the wii u hombrew which is pretty great. I can play pretty much all the system's up to the wii u. Gamecube and wii games included with hardware emulation. It doesn't get better then that. Ds emulation is pretty great on the wii u due to the dual screens. Honestly it's my favorite modded sytem for sure and I have quite a few. The best portable homebrew system has to go to switch though for sure. Wish it could play gamecube and wii without installing android.
Migrant Thought switch homebrew literally isn’t permanent though
we’ve had our wii for about 9 years now, and it’s still in great condition 😂
Lol xD
Japanese products are the best.
Pudding Gaming lucky I had two Wii’s and both of them don’t work anymore so I just use my wii u to play my wii games
Clean your laser
mine is 11 and so is mine
I’m still using mine, and I love it.
Same even tho I got a switch 🤣
@@taylorpost7083 I know I ditched acnh for Wii Sports resort
I regret selling mine for a ds
aha! Same! Poképark and Skyward Sword anyone?
It’s the only game console I have
You know it’s a good console when it requires energy to use and is actually fun
@Mrsuperking RUclips631 bro your an idiot. Little to no wii games are on switch. Only skyward sword is. Not even hits like wii sports.
@@backup_almeknassi9824 now there is a game similar to that
@@eemeli7093 Really?
I remember when there was a thunderstorm and i went to my friend's house and played sword fight
Best resort game
I want to have a sword fight with you.
Still remember eliminating my brother at sword fight.
Lol pause
Yeah but did you play Wii?
Fun Fact: Call of Duty: Black Ops on the wii has their servers still up!
weene bro I just played that the other day after sitting on a shelf collecting dust for like 7 years.
Woow, Thanks for info. I will play it :D
crazy
dude if this is true then i gotta get this for the wii i own it on ps3 but maybe there is a chance that the wii version is enjoyable to play then the ps3
😵😵😵
13 years later.....my Wii is still kickin
Got mine back out this evening and it still rocks!
I am so glad I grew up with this amazing and magical console, so many beautiful moments with it, I will treasure them for my entire life, heck, I'll treasure them in a completely different lifetime and I swear it.
I loved my wii so much. I still have it and will never ever part with it. It’s sitting nicely at my dads house right next to the tv where it has been for years and will continue to. Considering just dance 2020 came out and I don’t have the dock-able switch I’m going to play again it’s been years. Great video!
I think just dance 2020 will be the last Wii game
@@gamertygonl yeah
I love it and had a blast with it as a kid, but sold it about a month ago.
You are pretty hott

Ah! The Nintendo Wii! Great memories with this counsel. Loved it especially Wii Sports. I still have a Wii Controller. It's a red one. The thing that was annoying though was the Numb Chucks. Again, loved the Wii. Great video as always Josh
“counsel” you mean console right?
does this dude speak english?
@@Determi9r they speak engwesh
I also hate the nunchuk I always broke the wire XD
CreeperGuy721-92 IDK *english
It’s so weird to think of the Wii as old. It feels like it came out yesterday, but that was 14 years ago 😱
yes but still mine is still working, homebrewed, since bowling alleys are closed, played wii sports bowling...fantastic....my ps4 might have good looking games but it doesnt have bowling game...
I remember my grandparents getting us a wii in 2006 for their anniversary, good times...
I am not kidding you, my Grandparents bought a Wii sometime when I was little. We played Mario Kart Wii and Wii Sports with them every time we went to their house. So when you kept referencing the idea that grandparents would buy this console it truly made me laugh remembering all of the times we played golf, tennis, bowling, and a certain well known Felonius racing game with Mario in it.
I just ordered a wii to homebrew, I'm excited because I have nostalgia for this console despite only playing it at a friend's house
Nice. My jailbroken wii was epic.
@@JonCom3dy ml
If you have Mario kart, you can get CTGP and it is great. Custom tracks, online, new modes, and plenty of other things makes it so good
I always had a wii growing up but I always had more nostalgia for the xbox 360 as I would play it at my friend's house years before I got a wii
I never had a Wii till last year when I bought one to mod. It has over ten thousand games. I love it.
Well, what do wii have here?
Underrated comment XD
can wii play with the thing?
@Super Ninja Playz Games punzz
I dont know you but i hate you for that cheesy joke 😂
An amazing console :)
"Are you a Certified 2000's kid?"
...gawl I'm old.
Yes. Yes i am.
I was born when the wii was released but I brought it in 2015
yes yes i am born in 2000 got a wii in 07 still play it
i was born in 04 i used to play just dance on it as a kid
im from 04, got a wii in 09 and last time i played it was 2 days ago lmao, just ordered a wii u too
I accidentally left my wii turned on for like 3 years, and when I turned my tv on again to play it, it doesnt work anymore...
F to pay respect in chat

@Mrsuperking RUclips631 yea and the wii is better than switch.
My Wii is 7 years old and it still works, I remember coming home from school and playing Mario kart and super Mario galaxy 1/2
Mine is 14 years old. Works great.
This video is perfect. I just bought my grandpas house after he passed and while going through things, I found he kept my uncles Wii (who had Downs and also recently passed). I’ve never owned a Wii until now and just set it up last night. I’m looking forward to getting into it.
Garrett why would you buy a house for a dead person
First Name Last Name it’s completely normal, if they left the house all the memories and the house itself would be gone
Please do us all a favor and play super mario galaxy 1 and 2 man
First Name Last Name He didn’t buy the house for a dead person, he clearly said he bought it after his grandpa passed away. Is being able to read difficult for you?
First Name Last Name thats very disrespectful
I remember back when I used to play my Wii literally everyday. I am one of those 2000's kids. I miss the days when things were more simple.. I still actually play my Wii to this day. :)
Zachary Hale I wish I could but my mum donated my wii, without telling me or my sibling
I've got a hacked Wii with every Wii game and every Gamecube game on hard drives.
Mines broken
@@CEfect thats sad
@@Nickbaldeagle02 bruv how?
Honestly it doesn't feel that long ago that this came out, depressing lol
The wii had my favorite game of all time, and to this day, I still haven't played a game that I liked more than The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and I recently replayed Skyward Sword, and it was as great of an experience as the first time
Mine is LEGO Star Wars the complete saga
In 08 I moved to a new state, I had nothing but clothes and my wii. I sold just about everything to have money and even though I had no TV I held on to it. 2 months later I got a TV and had years of fun with it, even now I pop in a game to replay it.
I swear I literally got dolphin emulator a couple minutes before this was uploaded lmao.
Edit - I got the limited edition red wii back in 2010. It’s the last model to support gcn games, and ports. :)
I have the original wii since 2010
@Neil How did you get it
i was 4 in December 2010, so my parents got it as a Christmas gift.
@@downnnnnn I was 1
so your not allowed on youtube ;-;
Took my Wii out at the begining of the lockdown and just dance is still funny to play with the family
I wish just dance would work on my will I lost my will
@@Link_Ster If you still have the wiimotes, it is very likely that you can play the games you want on an emulator
Funny to play
Reeezzz I been playing wii sports man with family,lol it’s fun
It'll keep u entertain during this quarantine lol
90's kid here, I had the original Wii Model and My fav game was Super Mario Galaxy, I even want to play it to this date as it was so good.
Im a 2000's kid and Never had a chance to play mario galaxy. Now I do and its amazing!
@@j7sportvideo24 I wish they will port them over to the switch, I would buy it again
@@Tevosilverfox there are rumors spreading around that most mario 3d games might be ported. I really hope that happens, but I don't want to get my hopes up too high
Mario Galaxy is the epitome of the franchise, in my opinion.
@@Xenshi. Im sure one or two classic 3d mario games would come in switch's life. We might see hd ports or hopefully some sequels? I prefer Mario Galaxy 3 and a hd port of Mario 64 with quality lighting and better camera angle controls
I got the original Wii as a Christmas gift back when it launched. I've made so many memories with that console, and i think it was really a big part of my childhood.
When the Wii U came out I got that as well. With some games it was nice to be able to turn the console on and take the gamepad elsewhere in the house (provided you didn't need to go far) without interupting people watching TV.
I still have both these consoles today. I may not use them any more, but they are something I plan to keep for as long as I can. Maybe one day I'll take them out again and play a few games that I have in my collection. Heck, I could even go pick up some gamecube games as well.
The Wii got me into console gaming in 2007 and I loved it. I often wish there were more games out there that use motion controls in the same fun way. Also - I really loved the Wii Fit with the Balance Board. There were many fun little games to get you moving and I did some of them daily in the morning - for a really long time.
The wii is so wonderful everytime i hear someone talking about it i have nostalgia. The problem is...i don't even own a wii, still i feel nostalgic about it. This console's so magical
No joke every single person I knew in 2011 had a wii. even the old folks home had one.
@jwathas for some reason I neevr did wasnt intrsted in gamming but I got the 360 at the time and loved playing minecraft
Me who doesn't have money for a switch:

Goompro yes, even the normal price of the switch at mediamarkt is 409 euro, I might get the switch lite though for 213 for a grey one that I will customise
yeah i just got a Wii U off eBay to play Mario Bros during lockdown, been having a retro blast
i am 15 and I'm glad i got to play this when i was younger with my family,i feel bad for people who never played the wii at it's prime
Sad to think over time this would be an old piece of history
I’ll make sure to tell my kids about the wii
Fun Fact: You can use the sun as a sensor bar
Yea duh
or candles
Lol that blew my mind when i did that when i was young
Wait WUT
Good to know
I still have my Wii set up and using it today. Also there is an HDMI adapter for up converting the picture.
That one called Wii2HDMI?
True converters are pricey....
Can you use USB pc joysticks with wii? I would like to know if your wii gamepad don't work what gamepad is compitable to wii to play games
@@dylangeuss9186 There is one that is called Portholic WiiHDMI, it upconverts the signal so the tv detects a 1080p resolution. It works great; I use it with a Marseille HDMI cable on a 60 inch TV and the picture is visibly improved.
@@M4RlUS I use the exact same setup and it makes it look great on a 60" HDTV in the basement.
Just to touch on some important information that wasn't mentioned. With component cables you can output 480p video for GameCube and Wii games, which is very good quality. And through Homebrew you can re enable GameCube compatibility on the black Nintendo Wii's. You can also output 240p video on the NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, and the Sega Genesis emulators, which is the original resolution of most of those consoles, and it is gorgeous looking on a CRT TV. Just absolutely crisp.
2:11 rlly? The "Mii" is like my favorite type of Nintendo characters!
I found my old Wii and he brings me back so much memories that I put it back again at my leaving room. And all the games like Wii sports, Super Mario Brothers, Guitar Herro, Just Dance, and my Wii personal trainer game was amazing games that brings me back so much memories. I think that Nintendo is the king of consoles
Same I opened my Wii fitness for the first time in forever and it says last seen 4404 days which is about 12 years lol brings back memeorys
The wii takes me back to watching early RUclips, myspace, and playing Mario kart with my friends
Microsoft: what's your proudest gaming moment
Me: when I gave my little brother a jumpscare on the wii shop channel
It's so great that you always find HOME in the background of literally so many RUclips videos
The Wii will always hold a special place in my heart because it got me back into gaming after a long hiatus. The last console I bought before the Wii was the Atari Jaguar in 1994. The last games for that system were released in 1997, so when I picked up a Wii in 2007, it was the first time I got to buy a new release in ten years.
The wea was the most accessible consul I’ve ever used as a blind person. In fact, I still have the Wii all these years later and it still one of the best consol I’ve ever played!
Firas Abueida now I’m curious, what games did you play?
Sam Ashworth some games are kind of easy to use as a blind or visually impaired person. We sports and just dance are some of them. There are probably others I don’t know about.
Sam Ashworth I actually play Wii sports.
Firas Abueida how r u typing rn? I’m honestly rly interested haha
Christian Henry most likely with a screen reader, like talkback, which is for android, voiceover, which is for Apple devices, ChromeVox, which is for chromebooks, narrator or jaws, for PCs.
him: pull it out of your closet, and play. me: looks at the Wii in front of me
TotosSword I had to buy an adapter to connect my Wii to an HD computer monitor. It works great.
Cristina V. noice
I didn’t have a Wii, but my cousin did so I went to his house
I just busted mine out this week and homebrewed it. Now I’m using it daily again 💙
I strongly suggest to try using OSSC with the Wii regarding the "bad graphics" issue : not only does it give a neat and crisp picture to emulated games (since 240P gets converted to 720P), but the scanlines feature on 480P makes Wii games really pleasing to the eye. Kind of like playing on a CRT TV with 16:9 ratio. You'll get the best of both worlds !
I got a Wii as a gift from my uncle in June 2019. I'm collecting games for this beautiful Nintendo console. It is the original one with Nintendo Gamecube game and controller support.
In the future I'm buying a Nintendo Wii U for a HD upgrade.
If you grab a Wii2Hdmi converter you can get HD picture and it’s as cheap as 10 bucks.
@@isaacjordan6202 it just changes it from 480i to 480p, not hd
The Wii was my first console, My favorite game was ‘New’ Super Mario bro’s Wii.
My favorite game is super mario strikers charged football, i think its the most underrated game ever
Mine is LEGO Star Wars: the complete saga and Wii sports
Not even lying I’ve been wanting a Wii again recently, I always loved playing Mario Strikers Charged. Lol don’t even know if u guys know what that game is but idc it’s one of my fav games of all time
Gaming Toast if you get one then you can easily get your Wii online and I promise you we can play some MSC online against each other 💪
You can play it on emulator if you don't own a wii anymore

yeahl lol
Wii is still quite usable and playable. It is also pretty darn good to emulate older stuff. Still one of my favorites consoles and people still ask me to homebrew their wiis.
>"Only $30 bucks"
>Only shows consoles that cost $70+ with postage.
remember that you can softmod the heck out of the wii and even get back online functionality for many games for example mario kart wii or smash bros brawl
even wiiconnect24 has a patch that lets you use the message board, and most of the channels like the check mii out channel. Riiconnect24
I play mkw online regularly still even tho i got a switch, i once tried brawl online and its TERRIBLE
Brawl online was always flawed and full of lag I don't ever remember having a stable game.
I just got two Wii's. I am going to homebrew both, but trim down one and make it a portable. :D
Thanks for making this video, the nostalgia is really dense.
I have 2 wii's. 1 broke due to a coin jam in the disc slot, and the other still works.
Hey the WII HDMI adapters 5$ generally allows you to switch it into 480 hd at least and you can see the difference, a must have accessory
since bowling alleys are close due to pandemic, brought my wii out of retirement and played bowling whole day. graphics is not great but the game play is great. i was able to finish again twilight princess after finishing my breath of the wild on my switch. wii is one of the greatest console created by nintendo 100M sales backs it up.

I literally purchase every used Wii that pops up on my local craigslist or FB marketplace and is what I consider cheap($30 with what would come with a new one and no games, up to $75 if it has extra controllers and a bunch of good games, I resell the extras separately and usually end up with the Wii setup itself for free or make extra). I soft mod them and deck them out with a 1TB external hard drive and put all the old emulators & games on the 8GB SD card and pretty much all the great N64, GameCube and Wii games + some extras on the hard drive. I then either give them to close friends or family, or resell for what I spent on the Wii setup + SD card + external HDD. I do this because I know how amazing a Wii is when setup like this. I'm 43 now and honestly believe that if I live to be 100 I will still always have one hooked up and ready to game on. One of the best consoles ever created. Some people like to bad mouth them and I just chuckle, they tell me things like "I have at least $6,000 invested into my PS2 collection and I hardly even play it". Meanwhile I'm thinking "Damn, I have about $80-100 into this modded Wii with 2 wiimotes, 2 nunchucks, classic controllers, gun & other accessories, thousands of games ready to load without getting off the couch, or toilet, yes I have one in the bathroom hooked up to a 26" flat screen that can swivel from toilet view to bathtub view. I think now is a great time to go take a long dump while playing through the entire Lost in Shadow game. See ya!
Had my wii since 2007 and still regularly use it, crazy how the Wii has held its own over the past 14 years since release. Easily one of the best consoles ever made
Tron Evolution on the Wii was a unappreciated masterpiece
I should check that. I really loved tron 2.0 back in 2003ish. I mainly use my wii to play gamecube and snes games
First day they closed the schools due to Covid 19, we broke out several old game systems, including 2 Wiis, and hooked them up in various locations in the house to keep busy in lockdown. Hadn’t played in years but suddenly it’s back in action
Keep up the great content Josh. Hope you are staying safe. Stay positive!
My favorite Game on the Wii was Mario Party 9 and Mario Kart Wii. I love those Games so much and I still do.
Just bought a Wii 1 week ago and homebrewed it! I really am 100% in your opinion the Wii is so nostalgic!
"Did you ever have a Wii"
Me - Nope, this is why I am in the Hospital
Even though I didn’t grew up in the 2000s the Wii was my first console and it was so magic
I remember when my cousin and I played wii sports boxing and having a blast
Damn you must be like 9, that's crazy how old we feel...
I still play my Wii and love collecting and playing hidden gems for it, just recently got demon blade,the remake of golden eye,skyward sword,house of the dead 2 and 3 and I love collecting gamecube games for it, also the Wii graphics look great with componment cables running 480progesive scan
I feel like Skyward Sword is really one of the more forgotten Zelda games, which is a shame because it was a lot of fun to play
@@naverilllang I agree with you, it feels like that game never gets any mentioning or recognition that it vastly deserves...but some day it will be remembered for the special game that it is....afterall the Wii was and is a magical system to play and own...
I have had my Wii since the February 2007. Still works like it is brand new. For the fact that I got one as a gift which also kinda means I got it for free. Now I could sell it for more. It has no lost parts. BUt I am not selling my childhood.
i have an old wii and god damn its dirty. cleaned it and everything. i have TONS of games from resident evil to super mario
7:24 "held sideways to be like a regular controller...kind of"
oh man...this kid has never touched an NES has he......
It actually feels a little bit like NES controller...
I used Wii very little, but played one game a lot (sideways controller)
about a year ago i played mario on the original NES, and it feels a bit simliar
Its akward to hold, but when you stop thinking about it, and dive into the game, it does it job good.
for me when i can forget the controller exists, it does it's job good
I just used my Homebrewed Wii today to play some games, and it is still my 2nd favorite thing to game on 3rd is GameCube and #1 Is PC. #WiiWouldLikeToPlay
Same!
The games I love on my wiii....the game cube games !
As of now, there is no better family video game over Wii Sports.
I purchased my Wii 2 months ago. I have over 40 games so far. I absolutely love this console. Faves are both "House of the Dead" titles, "Dead Space," ""Mario Kart Wii," "Pinball Hall of Fame Williams Collection," Sonic Sega racing, to name a few
Nothing can beat the wii! It’s by far the best game console ever! I miss playing it
I still unironically use the Wii as a gaming console because I actually like the remote and using it, because it’s just fun and I can convince my family to play it.
Yeah, I love the Wii. And barring cases of forcing them into games where they REALLY didn't belong, I like motion controls (present tense, I still use the Wii). And the system will always hold a special place in my heart because it got me back into gaming after a long hiatus. The last console I bought before the Wii was the Atari Jaguar in 1994.
@@ressljs It also got me back in after a long hiatus, really a well-rounded console.
The only reason I kept my wii is for the amazing home brew capability and backwards also

I got a black Wii for Christmas with Mario kart Wii bundled and it was AWESOME (2009) And I remember putting in a 32GB SD CARD 1 to 2 years later and my Wii is now at about 17,000 blocks of storage from the few hundred we use to have
My black Wii came with GameCube ports
I love the Wii, still have mine to this day. One of the og consoles ground breaking with wireless control games, forward compatibility, and very user friendly where anyone regardless of age could play. The fact that's it's older than my two baby cousins and one of them is almost done elementary school speaks volume of how a good console that's created properly can still work after a long time.
i still have a wii nice that u do this xD
I miss the old times with the Wii.
The Wii U can play Wii games so a Wii U port of Just Dance 2020 would’ve been pointless
facts
Yes
A Wii U port doesn't make sense to invest in anymore mainly due to Switch's solidified takeover. Actually Ubisoft was one of the major companies to support 3rd party games for the Wii U.
It wouldn't have been pointless as 2019 sold at least 100,000 units within 10 weeks. While it is unclear when the game was pulled from shelves, the fact that a game even reached that many copies sold in late 2018 was notable--Darksiders Warmastered and the few other Wii U games that got released didn't even come close to reaching this benchmark. And then there's the fact that the Wii U would've been able to run the game in full HD and supported any features that the main platforms did, as the Wii versions of Just Dance games lack any extra songs, support for DLC and have been only 480p and locked to 30fps since 2014.
You can pair wiimotes to your PC with a third party bluetooth/IRbar device.
Using this, I play Wii games in 1440p and often 60FPS with the orgiinal controllers and all motion controls and screen pointing working! Its a thing of beauty!
Ahhh, the memories. Especially the time where the wii remote went flying in Wii Bowling 😂😂
*accidentally hits TV while trying to play Wii Tennis*
I picked up a wii in mid 2019 for $15 in a thrift store. I've played some classics like mario galaxy. Im not sure if I should hombrew it. Im afraid I could get in trouble.
EDIT: I did it already its really easy and the end product is great! I got about 15 emulators, with a decent amount of games for each emulator, wii flow and usb loader, with a cool custom theme, several more things!
Servers are long gone, if you plan on getting a wii u i think its best not to homebrew it so you can transfer save data or other stuff. I already homebrewed mine but i'd be way too poor to get one anyways.
weene naw its to expensive. Im sticking with the og wii. So have you tried adding a bunch of games to a hard drive so you can play on your wii yet? Thats the main thing I want to do. And save back ups. I just dont want to get in trouble. Ive never hacked a console thats why im kinda scared
@@j7sportvideo24 How would you get in trouble?
@jwathas I did it already and its all good. Its a real beast tbh. Nothing to be afraid of
@jwathas Yeah a lot do it and honestly a hacked wii is amazing.
It's hard to believe that this console is going to be 14 this year.

Super Smash Bros Brawl was my childhood.. I miss playing it now T.T
Plugged my wii back in as my 4 and 3 year old boys wanted to play video games. I am rediscovering how accessible it is for very young kids. Playing on a 14 inch crt and the graphics look way nicer than I remember :D
