Mark you calendar folks, Rich reviewed a piece of tech in the USA!
It's incredible.....
@@tiberiusbrain 🎉🎊
The wii u pad is more comfortable to hold than the Switch. And the buttons, especially the triggers are fantastic.
i completly agree!!!!
Yeah, for how bulky the Gamepad looks it's surprisingly ergonomic.
This is one of the things I don’t like on the Switch.
Yeah, that was the point of it. But people mocked it by how funny and fat it looked. Looks like people prefer looks over ergonomy and thats kinda sad...
You're right, it feels like a child's comfortable plastic toy rather than a portable gaming platform
I still have my Wii U, and it’s a great system. I still think COD on Wii U is great with two people in the same room have their own screens. That was a game changer.
Its called xbox 360 live kid
@@HistoryandReviews Free online vs paid at the time is really going to win some ppl over.
@@solonepeon5805fr back when ps3's online service was free, then Microsofts paywall Xbox Live made every company hop on board for paid online service 😔
Similarly in Uncharted 3 on the PS3 allows two players locally to play online via splitscreen but I got a feeling Naughty Dogs was planning to add SimulView support for owners of the PlayStation 3D Display.
@@TRPYGanja it was going to happen no matter what. The original xbox was PAID while the PS2 was out 🤡
I still enjoy the Wii U in 2022. When the system was out the TV functionality was pretty cool.
I used to use the gamepad as a remote for the TV in my sister's room. I would randomly change the channel of the show that she was watching. It was kind of funny.
This is a great step up in production quality, props to both of you
Really good video
Thank you man! -Editor
@@ReviewTechUSA You forgot to talk about the _Super Mario 3D World_ video game and review it for the Nintendo Wii U in this RUclips video, Rich - or was it released outside of the launch window of the Nintendo Wii U (it *_was_* released in late 2012/early 2013... right...?)???
@@ReviewTechUSA To be fair at 16:54 about the cutscenes that really happens a lot at the start of the game later on it's not so extreme.
@@spacelogic101whatif yeah
I had this happen when I tried to get a PS4 except it was an Amazon seller. To all the sellers out there, if the item was USED, DO NOT mark the item as new and attempt to sell it. We will know. We’re not that stupid.
Yeah, I'm not going to get a Nintendo Wii U from eBay, Amazon Marketplace, etc.; I'm going to get a used one from a local brick-and-mortar store, where I can inspect it *_*before*_* I hand over *_ANY_* money. [I *_ABSOLUTELY_*_ _*_*NEED*_* the Nintendo Wii U virtual console version of _Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3_ with *_*ALL*_* of the e-Reader stages/levels - *_including_* the (formerly) Japanese-exclusive and American-exclusive ones - in my life, so...]
I bought a Wii U and played it a ton. I never owned a Wii myself so the redundancy of it was great for my use case. I actually still play prime trilogy on it from time to time.
Lol same. My WiiU is pretty much just "The Metroid Machine".
I had both and I loved both consoles
It's three console in one. And you can (could?) find it for cheap because people prefer to buy the inferior Wii, for some reason.
I rebought myself a "Metroid Machine" myself a year or two ago... It's all the Wii U is good for anymore... Just Port the Metroid Series IN FULL to the Switch Nintendo FFS 🤦 😂
I would love to see more these vids compared to multiple daily vids of the news. I get it, need time and you’ve got to pay the bills…. But hoping more of these in the future. Nice review
Well it’s not what his channel’s about bro it be a big risk for him to completely change his content and hearing about how one RUclipsr was trying that and was afraid he might go broke because people weren’t watching them,
so it’s just a risk but honestly I like his news stuff it’s more interesting than tech reviews in my opinion
@@jackster10101 what do you mean? In this case he actually Reviews Tech. Otherwise, he finds the opportunity to cover seemingly too many avenues of other people's drama like Will Smith. I think Rich has great range in what he can and is willing to cover
Like I said, I understand videos like this take time. I’m just saying that if he threw a video out like this every once in awhile, it would be cool
@@alexandermccalla5098 probably but I still stand by what i said
He's said before in streams he plans on doing more videos like this
In my opinion, what makes the Wii U the best is the dual-screen feature. Windwaker and Princess HD did it perfectly and damn it's great to hold.
I remember in 2019 ago I finally got around to replacing the screen on my Wii U gamepad after it got cracked in around 2016. I'm glad I got to have some fun with it again! It's actually a neat little console. I especially love all of the old virtual console games that I could play in HD on my 4k tv with headphones.
Yep, and homebrew helps even more!
The Wii U was a fantastic system! It makes me sad to think about how poorly handled it was by Nintendo. So many fantastic games! I put countless hours into games like Mario Maker, Rayman Legends, Mario Kart, Lego City Undercover and Mario 3D World to name a few. I also first experienced Breath of the Wild on it! The Mii verse was really cool and the game pad was a great controller! It's a damn shame most people never got to experience it. I definitely miss the Wii U.
They gave it a bad name. That didn't help them.
It's still my all-time favorite Nintendo console
Name aside, it wasn't Nintendo's fault if people didn't buy it. They made great games for it, what else were they supposed to do?
@@rijjhb9467 They didn't really get developers to utilize the gamepad. Well, worried that it may break? Mine is now about 10 years old. Getting my use from it.
When comparing consoles that sold poorly, the Wii U is the best in that category. Maybe the most underrated console of all time with Dreamcast at a close second
And the 3DO is a close third.
He did it guys,...he finally became the true form of ReviewTechUSA
I remember when my grandpa bought me a Wii U game when I had a Wii great memories
Wii was way better
The time is now :)
EDIT: Having watched the whole video I can say this is one of your best review videos, Rich. I really liked the variety of voiceovers you made for each section of the video. I also appreciate the concise summary of each and every release game. I think there may be potential for this "mini review" format of games/tech in the future... Excellent work!
I remember my first thought when I played a game on the wii u gamepad instead of the TV. The gamepad itself should be the console. Now we have the switch. Thank you nintendo!
Lmao 🤣
Evolution lol
The wii u still sucked.
@@chasejackson7248 not really.. it was an okay console..
gay
The thing i love about the Wii and Wii U versions of CoD games is the Wiimote Support, using the Wiimote to aim and shoot is so comfortable and I actually got Modern Warfare 3 on Wii on Launch just for that reason despite having a PS3 at the time.
Also fun fact, the Wii U's CPU is technically based off PowerPC G3 which dates back to the late 90s with the iMac G3.
I’ve been looking forward to this video for a while now, glad to finally see it. Even though the Wii U wasn’t very well received I have a lot of great memories with it and still use every once in a while
Xenoblade chronicles x is still one of my favorite games. It pushed the Wii U to its limits and used the game pad in a creative way. The game pad was both the map, but also you could control a system called frontier nav. It got you resources and money.
Still waiting for a switch port or at least a sequel on the switch
been starving for X content
It needs a Switch port
Fingers crossed for the switch port of X.
It needs a PC port with proper online features, such as play together with your friends, not just using their avatar.
@@gamingforpizza5142 that's impossible considering Nintendo owns Monolith Soft, and we know that it will never see another platform outside of Nintendo's
The closest we'll have to XCX on PC is through Cemu emulator
Though we do already have an MMO on switch like Phantasy Star Online. And honestly XCX's online already works similarly like Monster Hunter for hunting missions, just not for the open world. So its possible to make it truly co-op without needing it to be ported to PC
I actually loved this charming little system.
Yeah, the pro controller on it was my favorite, if wasn't for that awful, pad I would still own one.
@@asterphoenix3074 Yeah, the pad was a waste. It had so much potential originally, but Nintendo could never figure out a way to actually utilize it in their games, so instead it just became another flopped gimmick, unfortunately.
21:15
I can't stop laughing at the delivery of that line
Rich's glorious return to reviews of tech in the good 'ole US of A.
I remember hearing something interesting; part of the reason for why the Wii U was so weak compared the the PS4 and Xbox One was because Nintendo stupidly thought of "HD" as a binary thing, as in Nintendo made an HD compatible console, now they are on par with the 8th generation. Obviously hardware does not work like that, but that was Nintendo's mindset.
There's a 0% chance anybody capable of hardware engineering would think this way. The answer is almost certainly that nintendo always sells their hardware at a profit and the cost of the gamepad necessitated relatively weak hardware to hit a price point that they thought consumers would stomach (plus they wanted Wii backwards compatibility which locked them into a specific architecture and would have also driven up costs).
@@DeToxCommunity I know it's a backward beyond stupid way of thinking, but I'd say it was equally stupid to not see HD being right around the corner with the Wii, or sticking with the same processor that they used since the GameCube, or thinking that big AAA games would flock to the Wii U, or thinking that next gen games could even run on the Wii U with its lack of power. Nintendo is blindingly stupid sometimes.
Nintendo was delusional back then. They went out their way to make it as weak as absolutely possible.
@@RegalPixelKing well other companies sell at a loss make it up with games. Nintendo doesn’t make that assumption- they didn’t buy Wii games. It was good, but it was in the closet within 2 years. Switch is portable, and it’s still 2 generations behind even after updated more expensive console. You think they have hardware engineers? Not really… well they make plastic covers… switch doesn’t need to be fast- it’s portable. It’s faster than the Vita- job done.
Actually no. They had to use a MUCH cheaper and older CPU to save money, so that the gamepad could be included. The CPU they used has 2004 levels of performance. The GPU is better than the PS3 or 360, but the cheap CPU holds it back.
Wii U is my favorite Nintendo system, this was a great video Rich
It's one of my favorites.. Still play it from time to time..
Love my wiiu the ability to play off the tv was the major selling feature for me. With the virtual console on there for a bonus i still have mine hooked up today!
Rich. This was pretty good. You should make more videos reviewing other systems and it’s launch titles like this.
And we’ve made it! Definitely worth the wait on this review Props to you Rich and your editor Jay👌🏾
I’ll die on the hill that the Wii U gamepad was the most comfortable controller I’ve ever used. I love how wide it is and the sticks and buttons felt great.
Didn’t stop me from trading it in for a switch tho.
I would buy a chunky switch pro for home only if it felt like the Wii U gamepad.
I can't agree that it's the most comfortable controller, but it is by far the most comfortable "handheld" I've ever used. I just wish they'd have put the right stick in the offset position they returned to with the Switch. If the Wii U gamepad were higher resolution it would be perfect. In every other way, the screen is better than the Switch's.
It was uncomfortable sausage fingers
Steam Deck is my most comfortable. Fits my hands like a glove.
@@gramblor1 I can agree that the stick placement was a little wack.
@@OutlawMantis I’ve thought about giving it a try because it honestly reminded me of the gamepad. I wish someone in my life would buy it so I could try it out but I’m the only one I know who’s at least semi interested in it.
Review Tech actually Reviewing Tech in USA? Well got damn! It's been like 84 years
yes name rarereviewtechusa
i didn't think this was ever coming out. it feels like months since we heard about this
I really like the Wii U - It got me back into gaming. I had taken a break from gaming around 2004 - I moved in with my girlfriend, job was exceptionally busy, eventually we married and then had a daughter in 2010. Around 2012 I started to think about gaming again. I was primarily a PC gamer prior but wanted something the whole family could enjoy. I bought a Wii U and it was SO MUCH FUN! Even though my daughter was young at the time she grew in to it and my wife (who was not a gamer) really got into many of the games. As my daughter got older we spent the summers (Im a teacher) going through games like Paper Mario Color Splash and New Super Mario Bros U together. Then the family Mario Cart tournaments, so much fun! It was also my daughters first introduction to Zelda with Twilight Princess.
I will never, ever get rid of my Wii U, so many memories now tied up into it.
I have been waiting for this for ages, so ready to watch this evening!
This was fun to watch and looked like it was also fun to make!
Please make other videos like this using other consoles that performed just like WiiU did.
May I suggest the VITA! That would be too perfect for this kinda video!
Thanks for you and your editor's hard work on this!
So excited to watch!!! Been waiting for this video for a LONG time!!!
Great review and well produced video Rich. I loved this video in its entirety and I hope to see more projects like this on your channel!
Great video this is my favorite one youve done in a long time, got a lot of laughs
Rich I am so happy this video is finally here I have literally been hearing about it for at least four months maybe more so happy it’s here I can’t believe it’s here!
Thank you Rich, format is great, patience was rewarded, great job editor bro!
Loved this Rich! I always like your content but this was definitely a nice change of pace & the production quality & the longer videos are always welcomed imo, I’d love more of these! 👏🏼😎
Bro why would you pay 800$ for a Wii u... i got mine for 78$ (plus 26 shipping) on ebay and it looked better than that
No you didn’t.
@@Rountree1985 to be fair this was 2 or 3 years ago but still, I can't imagine the price would have gone up that much
I love the Wii u it has all the best Wii games by Nintendo and some old Gameboy advance games and stuff it's a must have console for Nintendo fans in my opinion and you can also use emulation with it too. I only paid 80$ for mine I can't believe it costs that much now
I had to replace the game pad for my step-son. What a shock that a kid would rage quit over and over and it broke on him.
I would have said.. no more and that's that.. you broke it.. work it off to get a new one.
Man, I love Rich Reviewing Tech in the USA. Seriously though, great vid. Loved all the comprehensive reviews of the games. Thanks for going through all the trouble.
Impressive production and editing quality on this vid! Way to go!
I purchased a Wii U recently. I'm very impressed at the library of games and the whole functionality of the gamepad. Such a cool console, I'm defo gonna be collecting a bunch of games for it. Ps, always watch your videos Rich! Great work 😊
I loved this video! It was enjoyable and I loved the long format with Rich talking his opinion the whole, I can’t wait for the next big project video!
Loving how your content has diversified lately, Rich. This video is stellar and your recent reviews with Jay are a good time too. I also notice some production quality upgrades that are also awesome. More reviews or discussions with Jay are something I'd like to see more of. Maybe some videos on specific consoles as well? I remember you getting a Turbo Express at one point and some vids about the Turbo systems would be fun
I miss my wii u, but I'm also glad I sold it for a switch
21:16 This is the funniest review I`ve seen in years! This part could be my new ringtone. (I`m not a bot. I grew up in Jakobsdal Örgryte half a mile from Pewdiepie)
Why did Rich suddenly turn into It's A Gundam when he started talking about the fitness game?
Yes. Love these 40+ occasional reviews Rich
I enjoyed the wiiu very much. I think it was revolutionary with the controller. I believe it was the prototype for the switch
🤡🤡🤡
To be fair, my wiiu came with a stand and looked fine next to my TV. Worst selling console, yes. Did I love it? Also yes.
Brilliant ‘moment of realization’ scene, the background music really made the vid worth watching again!
This is probably your best video ever. Well done and entertaining. Major props.
I feel like we've been waiting years for this video
The Wii and Switch are underpowered yet they sold well. So this proves power doesn't matter. It's the marketing that affects sales.
Definitely
I picked up a refurbished one on ebay with a bundle of games.
I decided to give it a second go after looking into improvement mods. HD wii games, gamecube emulation and wii u titles backed up for quick access and no need for the disc drive make this a surprisingly awesome gaming machine.
... not to mention all the eshop titles I had bought years ago.
I really enjoyed the video. Your chickens are also very nice.
Wait... he's reviewing tech? In the USA? This is crazy.
I own and have beaten a lot of these. Loved orochi warriors hyper on wii u. It plays fine. Ninja garden razors edge was sooo hard. Zombi U I loved. Hard disagree with Rich on that one. This is one of the exceptions where the gamepad was done right and it adds to the horror experience.
Finally! Awesome video! Worth the wait
Hard work pays off for sure, you defo didn’t hold back on how you genuinely felt about this and it’s defo what I enjoyed most about this, it speaks to the authenticity of the review as a whole and as someone who has been watching your streams for sometime now, it’s easy to understand how you feel 😂 nice work 💯
As a long time sub, I am disappointed that Rich decided to stop pronouncing Oobiesoft and Merryo correctly.
Other than that, nice job finally releasing this! A shame the Wii U isn't worth getting anymore, since all the good games were ported to Switch by now.
Weirdly, the first console to come with an HDMI cable in the box.
Nope. The Xbox 360 Elite had one in box.
The 360 and ps3 both did it a couple years before the wiiu came out. My 360 slim and ps3 slim both had one in like 2010.
@@williammoore1030 I meant at launch, but that is correct. My 360 came with composite cables in 2008, though I used component.
@@williammoore1030 I bought a PS3 slim on 2012 and it didn’t came with HDMI cable, it just came with RCA
@@Fernando-np5vv weird, was it the one with the sliding top, like the 3rd iteration? And was it in North America?
I owned the Wii U for a number of years and never once realized there was a 1.3MP camera on it.
Unfortunately now in 2022, we can’t even access it. I tried a few weeks back. Nintendo shut down the app that allows its use.
I bought a Wii U after it was discontinued, just for Breath of the Wild when it came out. I use it primarily for playing DS games on the TV nowadays, though until Nintendo gives us Twilight Princess HD and Wind Waker HD on the Switch, I won't be packing the Wii U away for good.
Yea a lot of us I’m sure are waiting for twilight princess and wind waker on switch. They are really making this a painful wait.
I bought mine when Smash released and also used it as a 3D Zelda machine. As a kid who really only played Mario, Pokémon and Kirby games, it was a fantastic way to explore other Nintendo franchises at an affordable price (looking at you Fire Emblem and Metriod GBA games).
I unironically love the Wii U.
Great video, i have seen a lot of wiiu dedicated videos, and i will put this in my top five
Wow. That means a lot. Thank you.
Hey Rich that was such a refreshing memory lane. I´ve remember way back in the day following your videos about next gen rumours at the time. Something that always didn´t get about the WiiU is that many ports run worse than in ps3/360 for not reason, some sites even claming that it was less powerful than the ps3. I do remember watching video comparasions for blops2 and it def looked a bit uglier in some parts. Cheers!
At long last! The video we’ve all been waiting for! It’s finally here the hype is real!
This video was awesome because of how much details you put in the video keep up the good work.
I love the regular car reviews bit😂
My all-time favorite gaming system. Long Live Project Cafe!
Shame that it was a financial flop for nintendo.
The video we've all been waiting for is here
we were just playing wii u yesterday. my wife just discovered how great the zelda series is about a year ago and was playing wii u wind waker, the gamepad definitely comes in handy on that one, just as long as were playing with the pro controller
One of the best videos you've made on this channel. I've been watching since 2012!
This was a great video with good series potential I'd love to watch more
Great video i am surprised you didn't have an honorable mention of the Virtual Console it is awesome it has NDS,GBA, N64 and much more systems.
I loved the video Rich! It was hilarious!
Had so much fun and game time on this
This was awesome - you should do one of these for each console
I will say playing Black Ops 3 splitscreen with one player using the pad and the other player using the entire TV was pretty sweet since it was basically full screen co-op on a console.
Frank Sinatra "New York, New York" great choice for karaoke, Rich! Great Wuu review!!
I've waited for this video and I gotta say I'm impressed with the review, hats off sir!
Nice video Rich. Keep the good work and greetings from Mexico.
Really enjoying this kind of content Rich.....great and funny.🎮🎮👍👍awesome editing and content.
I remember I harassed my parents about wanting a Wii U and I got one for Christmas in 2013. It's still my most favorite home console. Probably because of nostalgia lol I also remember I took a selfie on my TV using the Wii U Chat app and my iPod at the time (I was a cringy 13 year old with too much free time. Idk how I managed to do that). I have so many good memories of this thing so it's really nice to see this video.
This was cool, great work Rich
as much as i love my switch and ps5 the wii u will always have a special place in my heart as my first console
make sure to hack your wii u then you can play GameCube and have custom themes and mods
That mario paint music was amazing I spent hours drawing with that music
This is definitely the best video on the channel yet
I still have my launch model Nintendo Wii U. It's the black model with 32GB flash storage and came with Nintendo Land. One thing about the Wii U was that you also need a USB splitter cable if you were to use an external hard drive. One game that was designed solely for the Wii U gamepad was Star Fox Zero. That game had awkward gyro controls. I personally think that game could have been better if it used traditional controls instead of relying on the gamepad. Even Wind Waker HD used the gamepad but you can use the Wii U pro controller also.
Really enjoyed this Rich👊🏿
The birds are like, the perfect addition to the channel. I liked Rich and his channel before, but now I love it.
You are so close to 1M subs!! let’s goooo!
The Virtual Boy wasn't a handheld either though. It wasn't mobile.
It may not have been a home console you can hook to a TV, but it was a stationary home device you couldn't do much with.
And yeah it was a big failure. But there's some pretty awesome games i wish would get modern ports from that device.
Awesome video! You should make more videos like this😎
