The best part of Wii U edition for me was by far the Mario mashup pack!! This was great to go back to and see my weird old builds from 2015, I hope some people still remember this version :D like and subscribe if you enjoyed, thanks
I remember playing the minigames every day cause playing online was free on the Wii U as well as the fact that it included a built in microphone so you were able to talk with people all the time. I made so many friends back then... Hope they're doing alright now.
That’s the greatest thing in Minecraft how it brings people together, it’s so nice you have those memories of people you’d not have met without the game :))
this is so relaxing.... the soothing calm almost doesnt-want-to-wake-parents-up voice, the relaxing editing, the nostalgia delving of your personal experience. this feels like a heartfelt conversation and feels so deeply personal
My dad bought me Minecraft WiiU Edition for Christmas in 2016, I was only 10 years old at the time. The amount of worlds I created and cool people I met, some of those people I’m still friends with TO THIS VERY DAY. The Minecraft WiiU journey has to be one of the best moments of my life. I stopped playing around 2019 because of school and I was really moving on as a person. In case any of my old friends or some people that may have ran into me are reading this comment, my gamertags were *Itzleila* and *jhakobi99.*
I started playing Minecraft in 2015 when i was in 2nd grade and seeing the old legacy edition from title update 7 or 11 makes me so nostalgic now I'm 15 and I'm in 10th grade now and seeing those versions makes me feel so young again i miss it so much i played it a whole lot on the Xbox 360 when i was 7!
Those old versions have an amazing feeling I can’t describe in words but I get like that too when playing the old updates and feeling like I did when I was young
The Wii U was the first non-handheld console I got. Me and my brother got it for Christmas in 2013, which is crazy to think it was 10 years ago now. I was 8 years old at the time, and the only console I'd owned beforehand was a 3DS I got for Christmas a year or two prior that had since stopped working. My parents also got us a small TV to go with the Wii U, and we spent all of Christmas day setting it up in me and my brother's shared room, before both of us spent the rest of the night playing Super Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land. The Wii U was the only console me and my brother owned for years before Christmas in 2017, when I got a Switch and my brother got a PS4. We spent the 4 years we actively played it actively playing and collecting a variety of games. In 2014, I was at my elementary school best friend's house, and she asked me if I'd ever played Minecraft. I told her I'd heard of it, but never got to play it for myself, and she said that I just HAD to play it. She dragged me downstairs to play it on her family's Xbox. She showed me a treehouse she'd built, the difference between survival and creative, and I felt the possibilities of the game open up before my eyes. We spent a few hours building in our own world, and I still remember the very first house I built with my limited knowledge of the controls that seemed so complicated at the time, a small house made of diamond blocks. After that day, I became obsessed with Minecraft, as any 9 year old in 2014 would. I introduced it to my brother through RUclips videos, and together we would spend hours upon hours watching out favorite Minecraft RUclipsrs, longing for a game we couldn't get due to it only being out on consoles we didn't have. On top of the money issues my family was going through at the time, we simply couldn't play it, so we lived through the RUclipsrs who shared their content with us. DanTDM, Stampylonghead, PopularMMOs, we'd sit in front of our tablets and watch them for hours. We also downloaded out fair share of Minecraft knock-offs to try and live out our ambitions there, games I still remember by name, such as Worldcraft and Block Story, the latter I actually own on Steam after buying the full version to try and re-live memories. Sometime during the summer of 2015, I told my mom about Minecraft, and me and my brother essentially begged her to buy the game so we could play it on our Dad's Xbox One, since Wii U edition hadn't come out at the time. Since money was tight, she couldn't buy it, but told us to add it to our birthday lists. Flash forward a few months to September, me and my brother's birthdays fall within a week of each other, his birthday on the 11th, and mine on the 17th. Imagine our surprise when we were out grocery shopping with her, only for her to turn to the game aisle of Walmart and pick out the Xbox One edition of Minecraft. We spent months building so many things together, messing around in creative and survival. I vividly remember building a giant TNT block while listening to my favorite music discs, building a town alongside my brother, and one of my proudest creations, a recreation of the Warrior Cats forest map in Minecraft, as I was (and still am tbh) obsessed with the book series. When my mom and dad split up in early 2016, My dad kept the Xbox as well as Minecraft. Me and my brother went with our mom to go stay with our grandma, and we didnt see our dad or most of our belongings for a few long months, as when we left we didn't take much with us. The next time we saw our dad was when we went 2 states away to stay with him for the summer, during which our dad was able to pick us up a copy of the Wii U edition of Minecraft, and we took the Wii U and TV with us when we went back to stay with our mom. For a couple of kids living in a house with no Wi-Fi, Minecraft was what kept us occupied. While I have many fond memories of the Xbox One edition of Minecraft, most of my memories come from this version. One of the most vivid memories I have is of me and my brother's survival world, which was centered around the adventures of me and our shared stuffed animal, an orange cat named Fuzzy who was included in almost every aspect of our lives up until I turned 12. We made a Mii for her on the Wii U and my brother played as her throughout the entire time we played on the survival world. We started out in a desert village that actually ended up getting overtaken by zombies, turning all the villagers into zombie villagers and essentially making the village into a ghost town when we left. We played out the events like a dramatic story, ending in me and Fuzzy fleeing the village to go build our own house. While I built and started a farm in the backyard, Fuzzy went mining, and we continued until we got a Nether portal. Eventually, we got bored, and went off to play other worlds when we had done all we could think of in that one. We also had out fair share of creative worlds, I remember opening up a superflat world to build a castle, building a giant town in a different one, building a hotel, and even just opening up a world to set a forest on fire and watch it burn. In 2017, when our dad got full custody of me and my brother, I got a Nintendo Switch for Christmas and my brother got a PS4. My brother also began to grow out of Minecraft and became addicted to Fortnite, which was the next big thing at the time. Since then, I can't remember the last time me and my brother played Minecraft together. I've since bought Minecraft on my Switch and my PC, and occasionally I'll get into a 2-week Minecraft phase with my friends, our last one being in a realm in June of this year. While I have so many memories with Minecraft, the best ones will always be 11 year old me and my 9 year old brother playing Minecraft together on our shared Wii U, sitting on the living room floor and making stories and memories that we'll both cherish for the rest of our lives. The Wii U edition of Minecraft may not have been bought by many, but it was cherished by the ones that did.
The minecraft WiiU edition was my first version of Minecraft and I played there for such a long time. Sometimes there were worlds where no villages generated so we had to heal several zombie villagers there throughout the night with hostile mobs being limited to 100. But it was so much fun and when I come back to these worlds, I just feel nostalgic, seing the WiiU edition with all its weird traits like craftable enchanted golden apples in 1.13 and of course all the awesome worlds and buildings we had there until the save limit was reached. Good old times.
What an amazing experience on this version. I remember it was always bad luck if you didn’t get a village in your world because they were so small and limited but you’d be able to grind for villagers eventually curing the zombies it was so much fun. And I didn’t even notice the golden apple, well found
i'm playing this version on Cemu in 4K , without world generation though , no internet connection ... the playable world is about 2000-3000 blocks squared , then you get a invisible boarder ... but at least i get to play minecraft VANILLA again ... caves and cliffs update completely DESTROYED minecraft and made it to : '' just walk on down and get your diamonds without MINING ONE BLOCK-craft ''
I still play this game to this day. It was my first version of minecraft that I ever played. I love just booting up my wii u and seeing my old self's imagination expressed in builds.
This edition is awesome! I can still find people playing the battle minigame to this day (although online servers for wiiu are shutting down soon so that might change). I have so many memories of this version and the years i spent playing it, the wiiu was the only thing i had haha. This video brought me back for sure.
I played so much Minecraft on Wii U, the minigames were a riot. I lost so many hours on tumble and glide trying to get all the achievements, gradually improving at spleef, playing custom games with 12 floors and levitation potions.. good times.. 2:57 Yeah! Exactly. Shame my Gamepad's screen is glitchy and has a drifting right joystick :( 1:28 Also the New 3DS version had Mario mash up as well lol 5:26 No, my gamepad is a bit delayed from the TV as well. That's not just you.
I’m sorry your gamepad is playing up thats so annoying to replace or get fixed D: also I hadn’t thought about the 3ds edition thanks for reminding me, I feel like that’s a really interesting one because it’s a bit different to other console editions to make it work on the small handheld. Thanks for this awesome comment I’m glad you’ve had so much fun in the Wii u edition

I'm watching this because the Minecraft online mode on Wii U was switched off yesterday on April 1st, 2024. The Wii U version was always the most unknown version but still cool.
minecraft wii u got me hooked to minecraft and me and my dad played it until the switch ver. came out and forgot about the wii u ver. and i have a lot of memories of it and i'll always remember it 🥲
this is soooo calming. im watching this at midnight lol.. your calm voice, simple editing, notslagic feels, all feel like im having a personal conversation while playing minecraft with one of my old friends a while ago. i love the way you talked about the smallest details, even things that were off topic like your sister not playing fortnite... youre now the coolest person i know and someone who actually appreciates the goodness of the underrated wii console. love you and your content bro.. keep it up man. this deserves more than a subsciption and a like.
Thinking about the Wiiu edition makes me feel so nostalgic, I vividly remember going to my dad’s house on the weekends and playing minecraft all day with my online friends. We’d do things like build city’s, play survival, and some of us had pretty popular minigame worlds. but as soon as the switch released more and more of us started to log off for good. it was kind of bittersweet seeing them leave but I know I enjoyed the memories we made together. I remember moving and my dad accidentally breaking my wiiu. so in the end I guess i’ll never get to connect with these people again.
I only had one friend that had the Wii U edition with me. We both tried building maps, and for a while this was my main way of playing Minecraft. I miss that friend. Haven’t talked to him in a while.
I think I'm only 1/5 through the video, but I love it. This version of Minecraft was my first version. There were so many memories I had, like finding secrets in the tutorial world, exploring the older tutorial, finding the Trojan horse in a world, being able to make flat worlds that make no sense, all of it. God this was so simple back then, but it makes me feel creative and happy.
you still can , somewhat , i'm playing this version on Cemu in 4K , without world generation though , no internet connection ... the playable world is about 2000-3000 blocks squared , then you get a invisible boarder ... but at least i get to play minecraft VANILLA again ... caves and cliffs update completely DESTROYED minecraft and made it to : '' just walk on down and get your diamonds without MINING ONE BLOCK-craft ''
The wiiu was my first real minecraft experience at like 10, I really miss playing the snowball minigames with random strangers. it feels nostalgic. it sucks they shut the servers down.
Watching this really gave me nostalgia of playing minecraft with my friends a few years ago, I think the way you present your video just feels so nice and not too over edited like other videos. I really like this style of video and it should definitely get more attention!
Gosh, I remember these days so vividly. I met my first friends on the WiiU on Battle Minigame, Yoshi was my main skin. Then friendships blossomed from there, I had an entire city in Superflat with my friends which took up a Good 25% of the available world. We'd roleplay there, and even if it was cringy, we were 9-Year-olds. I had an entire "Clan" you could call it even. The Mario Mash-up was great as well, I remember roleplaying as Mario Characters in custom made worlds. Then, Once the switch released, everyone started disappearing one by one. It was sad, maybe 2 of my original friend group was left by late 2018... Thank you for making this video and bringing my old childhood memories back again.
This is still probably the version of Minecraft I play most often lol, even though I own current versions on multiple platforms. I like how it still has all the old textures and free online (for now). I also have a creative world I’ve been working on for like 5 years so it’s fun to continue adding onto that world.
I actually still own this game on my Wii U, I just never play it due to having better versions to play (Java and PS5/Xbox One Bedrock) but I remember playing Wii U Minecraft with my older brother A LOT when we didn’t have another way to play. We have so many memories on this version of the game and it’s what jump started my love for Minecraft as a whole
I used to play Wii U all the time! I once got super mad because I deleted my favourite world, I also used to always destroy all the Mario mash up character builds with tnt and lava.
i owned a wii u when i was younger i loved playing this so much i built a lot of cool things in this game i built the farm house from courage the cowardly dog i had a whole world where i just built things in creative i had some great survival worlds i had a incredible world that i miss dearly i will never forget the love i had for the wii u still one of my favorite consoles
I remember this release of Minecraft. Yikes, I met the majority of my friends on there We had made a huge pixel art map, with a few structures that had depth. We build a huge rollercoaster that went around the entire map. Basically giving a tour of the area. Now that nintendo network has shut down as of April 8th 2024. No one but me can ride that roller coaster. The maps we played on are now left abandoned and untouched.
I started playing minecraft back when i was like 4, and let me just say, i was hooked. I played every day for like 2 years after that 😂 I also remember discovering mods on my dads old computer and it was the coolest thing ever to me
Great to see that people still remember this, I played this all the time with the online friends I met on there. I lost them all obviously, but 8+ years later and I'm still trying to find them again.
I remember when I was a kid I used to watch these videos of people transforming up the statues in the Mario world. One example is transforming the Luigi statue into Mr. L. I remember hopping on to my Wii U with my brother to try doing it ourselves. So much fun! Minecraft Wii U edition was my first experience of minecraft and I'm glad it was a part of my childhood.
I hope this makes you feel better... Us vita players for Minecraft were also forgotten. Due to our system of choice was ON POPULAR. The only thing from not forgetting is " cross saves " with PS3.
I started my minecraft world on wii u edition in 2015, still playing the world today on my ps4 and its gotten huge. This edition holds so many memories for me
I remember playing for the first time on ps3 and I was scared of the night so I did a 2x1 hole hiding there, trying to eat dye bc I thought It was “food”, I was such a noob. And I remember playin the minigames (spleef, pvp, elytra) and playing with my friend in our singleplayer worlds, on the psvita, playing everyday non stop, having so much fun, making *really protected villages* (making a big wall around the village) , doing some pvp together, doing duo skyblock and making one insland in the middle that “we can pay” for diamonds with blocks, or getting iron and stuff. And there’s a lot more that, I can literally write forever. But I don’t have time to. I remember making a huge mansion that had everything, like a basketball court, football court, karate place, a pool, and house things, but It corrupted the world and I lost it 😭. Tbh legacy version was the best version of Minecraft (and I still play it time to time, even with my old friend to re-live the memories that we had in there), even tho the limitations that had on that version, creativity was infinite, u can do everything that u imagined… I miss the old days🥲
I still have my wii. Once a while I glance at the games and sometimes roam around in the old Minecraft. Sometimes I wish you could put all the games you already bought into the switch. But the nostalgia is good. I personally enjoyed playing the Halloween world. Especially the roller coaster ride.
I absolutely loved Wii U Edition. It was my first real Minecraft version I owned. I haven't revisited my worlds on it in a long time but the nostalgia would hit like a truck.
I had no idea that this version of Minecraft is called legacy edtion. I still have a similar type of version, but its before the aquatic update. I'm glad that this was on the Nintendo switch bc if it didn't I would of never experienced it. I also have the newer version of Minecraft and if you have old worlds from the other edtion you can actually upload them on it. Which is kinda cool.
I remember playing this for thousands of hours and try and get every single achievement while making some friends on there that I sadly never got to contact again, it was also my first time playing minecraft and I can say that it was such a great experience I will definitely go back to it one day and hope to contact theses old friends I made back in 2016-2017
I remember when I got the Wii U I got it for my birthday which was in summer and me and my friend would play Minecraft and Mario maker all night lol it was such a fun console
I have Minecraft Wii U edition but I never really played it that much (I always play on Java). Some days ago I played for a bit and I was still surprised that online minigames are still alive with some people playing it. I really like the Mario thing world tho, it was fun to just going around on it. I really miss Wii U times anyway :///
wow finally wii-u edition getting the attention it deserves. this was the very first version of mc i got and had so much fun with it. i have so many worlds with so much stuff i probably have around 1000 hours on wii-u edition alone. i still have it and go back somtimes just to feel the nostalgia. ty
I remember the days, and one in specific where I found a woodland mansion in creative and thought it was made by someone else so I used invisible potions and snuck around (in peaceful). Those were truly the good days.
i remember always playing the mario Mashup with my brother and making Luigi become "his sister" by adding a tutu and eyelashes 😭😭 I also remember playing the fallout one and loving it, and making a candy shop in the candy pack so many memories oml. wii u is sm better than the switch in terms of minecraft imo
the good thing about the wii u edition of minecraft is that wii u emulators exist now so you can emulate minecraft wii u edition on your computer and play it
I remember playing Minecraft a lot on the Wii U since I did not own a phone nor PC. It was probably my first ever real Minecraft experience and I loved everything about it. I loved the Halloween Mashup pack, the festive Mashup pack, the skyrim mashup pack and the Super Mario Mashup pack as well. I remember beating the Ender Dragon the first time in the tutorial world. ( While constantly abusing the save option you had on the console editions. Everytime I think about those Mashups I feel nostalgic. Even after all these years I am still a happy owner of a Wii U, and I still own the game, unfortunately the disc does not work anymore. Everytime I try to insert it, the Wii U states it's an unknown disc. I tried to clean the game but the Wii U still can't read it.
Vita edition is another forgotten version that was amazing I would gladly play it over any pocket edition or bedrock edition cause the controls and the game itself felt so good
Epic video! Brought everyone down memory lane. I would wake up every morning and hop on the Wii U and play mini games or just make stuff in creative, fun times
I actually started on Wii U edition as far as the PVP community goes; I was about nine or ten then, I am fourteen now and i am doing well in the community
I met so many people through the minigames on wii u. eventually i met this guy HunterHcm And we startet playing together and through him i met a kid named ross. he was around the same age as me and we played everyday for a while. I remmber being awake until 4am just to play with them since i lived on the opesite side of the world. we would roleplay and make videos on this creative world ross had made, and i think they talked about making a movie for a while. I don't remember how we lost contact if it was the release of the switch or whatever. but god i wish i could have said goodbye. Wherever you are ross and hunter i hope you're doing ok.
legacy was just so nice, the game optimized for the console and made for the console, now they think with bedrock the console is made for the game, which doesnt work out at all
I remember being so let down with this version as it had the potential to be the best version. It was so easy. They could just let you have your whole inventory on your Gamepad at all times and you wouldn't have to jump between menus all the time. It would be such an amazing QoL feature. So yeah, it was a neat version of Minecraft, but it could have been THE version.
I honestly had no idea that the gamepad could show stuff like the inventory. I probably had a setting turned on that made it mirror what the TV showed. & even then, it just displayed the minecraft logo whenever I played multiplayer with my brother, which was all the time.
As a Nintendo kid, seeing that I finally had a device that was compatible with Minecraft was mind boggling. Looking back, the world size is... Less that I remember it being..
i just love this i played this game so many times when i was a little younger with my brother we could only play 1 hour and sometimes even more i like it how the people can relate to this even though it had a small community the mini game mode is in my opinion the best of it cause i really wanted to get wins and get better at it. thanks for this vid
Holy fuckin shit I remember starting off with this version and I loved it like I would play the tutorial map over and over being stuck on what to do and playing online multiplayer and with the built in mashup packs and my chest zombie skin. Brings me back.
I was one of the ones who owned one mainly because I asked my parents for a switch not knowing about how the new smash game was not on WiiU so my parents got me wiiu and smash bros and later got Minecraft but my WiiU broke but still have the games I had
I vividly remember playing with this dude i met playing smash bros wii u This mf instilled my fear of elder guardians within me I honestly love minecraft wii u though The minigames were so much fun
It’s really nice you could meet new people through this game that you’d never get to know without stumbling across each other in game that’s what’s so awesome about the Wii u
god i remember this. my favorite area was isle delfino, the sunshine island. it’s around one of the airships in the sea but god it was so cute, all of the villagers were reskinned as piantas to match the vibe!!!
I had a wii u just for mario maker but i also had minecraft for when i was not playing that, n the wii u had amazing games like mario kart 8 n 3d world alot of switch game were ported games
Yup the switch makes the Wii u less needed with most games being on it now but at the time the Wii u was my favourite console and I played it so much. It was awesome!!
i played an insane amount of time with my childhood bestfriend online, brought my wii u to his place etc, and then we transferred the world to the switch and i still have it! same with the wii u and the world on it! when i got the wii u christmas 2015 i said i was going to buried with my wii u and i aint kiddin ya. i supported nintendo through it all. my friends all had, and played the 3ds but said wii and wii u was "gay" and generally had xbox 360s or ps3s.
I remember I played it, even though I already had it on the 360. I found a mob spawner in the desert on the surface uncovered by sand. The GamePad's thumbstick started drifting too...
I’m going to buy a Wii U, and Minecraft is a game I’m looking forward to, and yes I know that the Wii U isn’t a good console for Minecraft, but it doesn’t matter about the console, all that matters is you having fun.
Bro i loved the wiiu and mc on there was amazing! I remember i lived in a village- built a big wall around it and made it spider proof - I had every farm - mined a whole chunk of - died no times and i only had enough diamonds for a sword. i also had like 23 stacks of iron and im pretty sure i mined the while worlds iron supply lol. i always played as a fancy enderman
I remember playing this game on my wii u a lot with my dad and sibling before personal events happened that caused my dad and us to be separated from eachother. Especially with how I will always make tons of new world with the Mario world, tutorial world, etc.😆
The best part of Wii U edition for me was by far the Mario mashup pack!! This was great to go back to and see my weird old builds from 2015, I hope some people still remember this version :D like and subscribe if you enjoyed, thanks
I almost beat the ender dragon on this version, I had diamond gear but my save is long gone
I still play this game
I play this version on Xbox
@@ladymontava lol. Cool that you justplay this version
Well hey at least both switch editions have it I mean yea I have the exclusive map
I remember playing the minigames every day cause playing online was free on the Wii U as well as the fact that it included a built in microphone so you were able to talk with people all the time. I made so many friends back then... Hope they're doing alright now.
u can still play the minigames online
That’s the greatest thing in Minecraft how it brings people together, it’s so nice you have those memories of people you’d not have met without the game :))
I did the same but on ps3, but I got booted offline at some point.
Same it's very sad that the servers are gonna close in april 😥
They were Consumed by the fog I’m sorry
this is so relaxing.... the soothing calm almost doesnt-want-to-wake-parents-up voice, the relaxing editing, the nostalgia delving of your personal experience. this feels like a heartfelt conversation and feels so deeply personal
Your comment means so much to me it’s so nice knowing you appreciate the video’s style, I’ll work on keeping my future videos with a similar feel
My dad bought me Minecraft WiiU Edition for Christmas in 2016, I was only 10 years old at the time. The amount of worlds I created and cool people I met, some of those people I’m still friends with TO THIS VERY DAY. The Minecraft WiiU journey has to be one of the best moments of my life. I stopped playing around 2019 because of school and I was really moving on as a person.
In case any of my old friends or some people that may have ran into me are reading this comment, my gamertags were *Itzleila* and *jhakobi99.*
I started playing Minecraft in 2015 when i was in 2nd grade and seeing the old legacy edition from title update 7 or 11 makes me so nostalgic now I'm 15 and I'm in 10th grade now and seeing those versions makes me feel so young again i miss it so much i played it a whole lot on the Xbox 360 when i was 7!
Those old versions have an amazing feeling I can’t describe in words but I get like that too when playing the old updates and feeling like I did when I was young
You can still go back. Online play is still there
The Wii U was the first non-handheld console I got. Me and my brother got it for Christmas in 2013, which is crazy to think it was 10 years ago now. I was 8 years old at the time, and the only console I'd owned beforehand was a 3DS I got for Christmas a year or two prior that had since stopped working. My parents also got us a small TV to go with the Wii U, and we spent all of Christmas day setting it up in me and my brother's shared room, before both of us spent the rest of the night playing Super Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land.
The Wii U was the only console me and my brother owned for years before Christmas in 2017, when I got a Switch and my brother got a PS4. We spent the 4 years we actively played it actively playing and collecting a variety of games. In 2014, I was at my elementary school best friend's house, and she asked me if I'd ever played Minecraft. I told her I'd heard of it, but never got to play it for myself, and she said that I just HAD to play it. She dragged me downstairs to play it on her family's Xbox. She showed me a treehouse she'd built, the difference between survival and creative, and I felt the possibilities of the game open up before my eyes. We spent a few hours building in our own world, and I still remember the very first house I built with my limited knowledge of the controls that seemed so complicated at the time, a small house made of diamond blocks.
After that day, I became obsessed with Minecraft, as any 9 year old in 2014 would. I introduced it to my brother through RUclips videos, and together we would spend hours upon hours watching out favorite Minecraft RUclipsrs, longing for a game we couldn't get due to it only being out on consoles we didn't have. On top of the money issues my family was going through at the time, we simply couldn't play it, so we lived through the RUclipsrs who shared their content with us. DanTDM, Stampylonghead, PopularMMOs, we'd sit in front of our tablets and watch them for hours. We also downloaded out fair share of Minecraft knock-offs to try and live out our ambitions there, games I still remember by name, such as Worldcraft and Block Story, the latter I actually own on Steam after buying the full version to try and re-live memories.
Sometime during the summer of 2015, I told my mom about Minecraft, and me and my brother essentially begged her to buy the game so we could play it on our Dad's Xbox One, since Wii U edition hadn't come out at the time. Since money was tight, she couldn't buy it, but told us to add it to our birthday lists. Flash forward a few months to September, me and my brother's birthdays fall within a week of each other, his birthday on the 11th, and mine on the 17th. Imagine our surprise when we were out grocery shopping with her, only for her to turn to the game aisle of Walmart and pick out the Xbox One edition of Minecraft.
We spent months building so many things together, messing around in creative and survival. I vividly remember building a giant TNT block while listening to my favorite music discs, building a town alongside my brother, and one of my proudest creations, a recreation of the Warrior Cats forest map in Minecraft, as I was (and still am tbh) obsessed with the book series.
When my mom and dad split up in early 2016, My dad kept the Xbox as well as Minecraft. Me and my brother went with our mom to go stay with our grandma, and we didnt see our dad or most of our belongings for a few long months, as when we left we didn't take much with us. The next time we saw our dad was when we went 2 states away to stay with him for the summer, during which our dad was able to pick us up a copy of the Wii U edition of Minecraft, and we took the Wii U and TV with us when we went back to stay with our mom.
For a couple of kids living in a house with no Wi-Fi, Minecraft was what kept us occupied. While I have many fond memories of the Xbox One edition of Minecraft, most of my memories come from this version. One of the most vivid memories I have is of me and my brother's survival world, which was centered around the adventures of me and our shared stuffed animal, an orange cat named Fuzzy who was included in almost every aspect of our lives up until I turned 12. We made a Mii for her on the Wii U and my brother played as her throughout the entire time we played on the survival world.
We started out in a desert village that actually ended up getting overtaken by zombies, turning all the villagers into zombie villagers and essentially making the village into a ghost town when we left. We played out the events like a dramatic story, ending in me and Fuzzy fleeing the village to go build our own house. While I built and started a farm in the backyard, Fuzzy went mining, and we continued until we got a Nether portal. Eventually, we got bored, and went off to play other worlds when we had done all we could think of in that one.
We also had out fair share of creative worlds, I remember opening up a superflat world to build a castle, building a giant town in a different one, building a hotel, and even just opening up a world to set a forest on fire and watch it burn.
In 2017, when our dad got full custody of me and my brother, I got a Nintendo Switch for Christmas and my brother got a PS4. My brother also began to grow out of Minecraft and became addicted to Fortnite, which was the next big thing at the time. Since then, I can't remember the last time me and my brother played Minecraft together. I've since bought Minecraft on my Switch and my PC, and occasionally I'll get into a 2-week Minecraft phase with my friends, our last one being in a realm in June of this year.
While I have so many memories with Minecraft, the best ones will always be 11 year old me and my 9 year old brother playing Minecraft together on our shared Wii U, sitting on the living room floor and making stories and memories that we'll both cherish for the rest of our lives.
The Wii U edition of Minecraft may not have been bought by many, but it was cherished by the ones that did.
The minecraft WiiU edition was my first version of Minecraft and I played there for such a long time. Sometimes there were worlds where no villages generated so we had to heal several zombie villagers there throughout the night with hostile mobs being limited to 100. But it was so much fun and when I come back to these worlds, I just feel nostalgic, seing the WiiU edition with all its weird traits like craftable enchanted golden apples in 1.13 and of course all the awesome worlds and buildings we had there until the save limit was reached. Good old times.
What an amazing experience on this version. I remember it was always bad luck if you didn’t get a village in your world because they were so small and limited but you’d be able to grind for villagers eventually curing the zombies it was so much fun. And I didn’t even notice the golden apple, well found
Mines too
i'm playing this version on Cemu in 4K , without world generation though , no internet connection ...
the playable world is about 2000-3000 blocks squared , then you get a invisible boarder ...
but at least i get to play minecraft VANILLA again ...
caves and cliffs update completely DESTROYED minecraft and made it to :
'' just walk on down and get your diamonds without MINING ONE BLOCK-craft ''
yeah, I remember being amazed at that one Super Mario map.
The map is one of my favourite I’ve ever played in Minecraft. It combines Mario and Minecraft my two favourite games I love it
I still play this game to this day. It was my first version of minecraft that I ever played. I love just booting up my wii u and seeing my old self's imagination expressed in builds.
This edition is awesome! I can still find people playing the battle minigame to this day (although online servers for wiiu are shutting down soon so that might change). I have so many memories of this version and the years i spent playing it, the wiiu was the only thing i had haha. This video brought me back for sure.
I play ps3 version and I’m pretty sure that there are 1000+ people on each minigame.
@chance6050 what?
I played so much Minecraft on Wii U, the minigames were a riot. I lost so many hours on tumble and glide trying to get all the achievements, gradually improving at spleef, playing custom games with 12 floors and levitation potions.. good times..
2:57 Yeah! Exactly. Shame my Gamepad's screen is glitchy and has a drifting right joystick :(
1:28 Also the New 3DS version had Mario mash up as well lol
5:26 No, my gamepad is a bit delayed from the TV as well. That's not just you.
I’m sorry your gamepad is playing up thats so annoying to replace or get fixed D: also I hadn’t thought about the 3ds edition thanks for reminding me, I feel like that’s a really interesting one because it’s a bit different to other console editions to make it work on the small handheld. Thanks for this awesome comment I’m glad you’ve had so much fun in the Wii u edition
The fact that you always have an inventory on the screen without pressing a button makes me want to get a Wii U.
You don’t. Would be cool though.
You have no idea how nostalgic this is to watch, like, I played the Wii U version of Minecraft more than any other version

I'm watching this because the Minecraft online mode on Wii U was switched off yesterday on April 1st, 2024. The Wii U version was always the most unknown version but still cool.
This was my favorite version of Minecraft and I miss all my friends I made along the way I'll always remember you guys :(
I hope someday you get to play with them again ;( it’s so hard losing an online friend over time
@@JerooMinecraft if search up nobledez cereal skins Wii u then youll see some videos from a RUclipsr that I used to play with
Man, I remember pouring so much of my childhood into this version, building worlds with my old online friends. Good times
Underrated game and console, the fact that the XBOX 1 and PS4 are the same age but still running annoys me. LONG LIVE THE WII U!!!
THAT’S WHAT IM SAYING
minecraft wii u got me hooked to minecraft and me and my dad played it until the switch ver. came out and forgot about the wii u ver. and i have a lot of memories of it and i'll always remember it 🥲
this is soooo calming. im watching this at midnight lol.. your calm voice, simple editing, notslagic feels, all feel like im having a personal conversation while playing minecraft with one of my old friends a while ago. i love the way you talked about the smallest details, even things that were off topic like your sister not playing fortnite... youre now the coolest person i know and someone who actually appreciates the goodness of the underrated wii console. love you and your content bro.. keep it up man. this deserves more than a subsciption and a like.
Thinking about the Wiiu edition makes me feel so nostalgic, I vividly remember going to my dad’s house on the weekends and playing minecraft all day with my online friends. We’d do things like build city’s, play survival, and some of us had pretty popular minigame worlds. but as soon as the switch released more and more of us started to log off for good. it was kind of bittersweet seeing them leave but I know I enjoyed the memories we made together. I remember moving and my dad accidentally breaking my wiiu. so in the end I guess i’ll never get to connect with these people again.
I only had one friend that had the Wii U edition with me. We both tried building maps, and for a while this was my main way of playing Minecraft. I miss that friend. Haven’t talked to him in a while.
I think I'm only 1/5 through the video, but I love it. This version of Minecraft was my first version. There were so many memories I had, like finding secrets in the tutorial world, exploring the older tutorial, finding the Trojan horse in a world, being able to make flat worlds that make no sense, all of it. God this was so simple back then, but it makes me feel creative and happy.
Yaaay thank you so much for watching. I’m glad this brought so many emotions and memories back to you
you still can , somewhat ,

This version of Minecraft was literally my entire childhood.
200+ worlds, half of them named “new world”
The wiiu was my first real minecraft experience at like 10, I really miss playing the snowball minigames with random strangers. it feels nostalgic. it sucks they shut the servers down.
Watching this really gave me nostalgia of playing minecraft with my friends a few years ago, I think the way you present your video just feels so nice and not too over edited like other videos. I really like this style of video and it should definitely get more attention!
The Mario texture pack was my favorite thing about it 🥲
I remember when me and my brothers just completely RENOVATED Peach’s castle. I would do anything to see that place again
hell yeah i remember it. i still play the minigames from time to time whenever footballs not on, never gets old
I played this game 24/7 as a kid. Would play minigames or the Halloween/festive maps. I also built a ton of towns with friends.
Gosh, I remember these days so vividly. I met my first friends on the WiiU on Battle Minigame, Yoshi was my main skin. Then friendships blossomed from there, I had an entire city in Superflat with my friends which took up a Good 25% of the available world. We'd roleplay there, and even if it was cringy, we were 9-Year-olds. I had an entire "Clan" you could call it even. The Mario Mash-up was great as well, I remember roleplaying as Mario Characters in custom made worlds. Then, Once the switch released, everyone started disappearing one by one. It was sad, maybe 2 of my original friend group was left by late 2018... Thank you for making this video and bringing my old childhood memories back again.
Minecraft Wii U Edition - The one and only version where I've gotten struck by lightning
I used to play this with my brother for ages when i was younger, we used to play the mario map the most
This is still probably the version of Minecraft I play most often lol, even though I own current versions on multiple platforms. I like how it still has all the old textures and free online (for now). I also have a creative world I’ve been working on for like 5 years so it’s fun to continue adding onto that world.
I actually still own this game on my Wii U, I just never play it due to having better versions to play (Java and PS5/Xbox One Bedrock) but I remember playing Wii U Minecraft with my older brother A LOT when we didn’t have another way to play. We have so many memories on this version of the game and it’s what jump started my love for Minecraft as a whole
I used to play Wii U all the time! I once got super mad because I deleted my favourite world, I also used to always destroy all the Mario mash up character builds with tnt and lava.
i owned a wii u when i was younger i loved playing this so much i built a lot of cool things in this game i built the farm house from courage the cowardly dog i had a whole world where i just built things in creative i had some great survival worlds i had a incredible world that i miss dearly i will never forget the love i had for the wii u still one of my favorite consoles
I remember this release of Minecraft.
Yikes, I met the majority of my friends on there
We had made a huge pixel art map, with a few structures that had depth.
We build a huge rollercoaster that went around the entire map. Basically giving a tour of the area.
Now that nintendo network has shut down as of April 8th 2024. No one but me can ride that roller coaster. The maps we played on are now left abandoned and untouched.
My friend who had a wii u, i and all our neighbors played at his house on the wiiu and built a whole world with cities, homes, etc.
Played with friends and used the WII U chat. Remember getting griefed with the “it’s just a prank bro” yelled at me. So mad
I started playing minecraft back when i was like 4, and let me just say, i was hooked. I played every day for like 2 years after that 😂 I also remember discovering mods on my dads old computer and it was the coolest thing ever to me
I have that as a Child I missed Minecraft Wii u Soo Much Thank you For Show me this
Great to see that people still remember this, I played this all the time with the online friends I met on there. I lost them all obviously, but 8+ years later and I'm still trying to find them again.
Many memories of playing Wii u edition man I may not talk to the people I played it with now but they made the game memorable
I remember when I was a kid I used to watch these videos of people transforming up the statues in the Mario world. One example is transforming the Luigi statue into Mr. L. I remember hopping on to my Wii U with my brother to try doing it ourselves. So much fun! Minecraft Wii U edition was my first experience of minecraft and I'm glad it was a part of my childhood.
I love this version of the game, I currently have 9 Achievements left, one I'm struggling with is Sniper Duel.
i still talk to the same friends i made on this game, 8 years strong now
I used to play the battle mode, friend people, and join their worlds and have fun with them and build/grief. 2016 was amazing.
I hope this makes you feel better... Us vita players for Minecraft were also forgotten. Due to our system of choice was ON POPULAR. The only thing from not forgetting is " cross saves " with PS3.
My brother and I were SO EXCITED when the aquatic update came out for the Wii U
I started my minecraft world on wii u edition in 2015, still playing the world today on my ps4 and its gotten huge. This edition holds so many memories for me
i remember playing with an old friend called zach701. we would play minigames, survival, just about anything on minecraft.
I remember playing for the first time on ps3 and I was scared of the night so I did a 2x1 hole hiding there, trying to eat dye bc I thought It was “food”, I was such a noob.
And I remember playin the minigames (spleef, pvp, elytra) and playing with my friend in our singleplayer worlds, on the psvita, playing everyday non stop, having so much fun, making *really protected villages* (making a big wall around the village) , doing some pvp together, doing duo skyblock and making one insland in the middle that “we can pay” for diamonds with blocks, or getting iron and stuff.
And there’s a lot more that, I can literally write forever. But I don’t have time to.
I remember making a huge mansion that had everything, like a basketball court, football court, karate place, a pool, and house things, but It corrupted the world and I lost it 😭.
Tbh legacy version was the best version of Minecraft (and I still play it time to time, even with my old friend to re-live the memories that we had in there), even tho the limitations that had on that version, creativity was infinite, u can do everything that u imagined…
I miss the old days🥲
I still have my wii. Once a while I glance at the games and sometimes roam around in the old Minecraft. Sometimes I wish you could put all the games you already bought into the switch. But the nostalgia is good. I personally enjoyed playing the Halloween world. Especially the roller coaster ride.
I absolutely loved Wii U Edition. It was my first real Minecraft version I owned. I haven't revisited my worlds on it in a long time but the nostalgia would hit like a truck.
I had no idea that this version of Minecraft is called legacy edtion. I still have a similar type of version, but its before the aquatic update. I'm glad that this was on the Nintendo switch bc if it didn't I would of never experienced it. I also have the newer version of Minecraft and if you have old worlds from the other edtion you can actually upload them on it. Which is kinda cool.
Tbh minecraft Ps3 and Minecraft Wiiu edition was my child hood
I remember playing this for thousands of hours and try and get every single achievement while making some friends on there that I sadly never got to contact again, it was also my first time playing minecraft and I can say that it was such a great experience I will definitely go back to it one day and hope to contact theses old friends I made back in 2016-2017
I remember when I got the Wii U I got it for my birthday which was in summer and me and my friend would play Minecraft and Mario maker all night lol it was such a fun console
I enjoyed this video, keep up your good work and merry Christmas :>
I have Minecraft Wii U edition but I never really played it that much (I always play on Java). Some days ago I played for a bit and I was still surprised that online minigames are still alive with some people playing it.
I really like the Mario thing world tho, it was fun to just going around on it. I really miss Wii U times anyway :///
wow finally wii-u edition getting the attention it deserves. this was the very first version of mc i got and had so much fun with it. i have so many worlds with so much stuff i probably have around 1000 hours on wii-u edition alone. i still have it and go back somtimes just to feel the nostalgia. ty
I remember the days, and one in specific where I found a woodland mansion in creative and thought it was made by someone else so I used invisible potions and snuck around (in peaceful). Those were truly the good days.
"One of the 5 who even own a Wii U"
You too? I thought that I was alone
i remember with a friend we used to make short terms survival worlds and always doing some roleplay in the mario world (on wii u of course)
i remember always playing the mario Mashup with my brother and making Luigi become "his sister" by adding a tutu and eyelashes 😭😭 I also remember playing the fallout one and loving it, and making a candy shop in the candy pack
so many memories oml. wii u is sm better than the switch in terms of minecraft imo
the good thing about the wii u edition of minecraft is that wii u emulators exist now so you can emulate minecraft wii u edition on your computer and play it
I remember playing Minecraft a lot on the Wii U since I did not own a phone nor PC. It was probably my first ever real Minecraft experience and I loved everything about it. I loved the Halloween Mashup pack, the festive Mashup pack, the skyrim mashup pack and the Super Mario Mashup pack as well. I remember beating the Ender Dragon the first time in the tutorial world. ( While constantly abusing the save option you had on the console editions. Everytime I think about those Mashups I feel nostalgic. Even after all these years I am still a happy owner of a Wii U, and I still own the game, unfortunately the disc does not work anymore. Everytime I try to insert it, the Wii U states it's an unknown disc. I tried to clean the game but the Wii U still can't read it.
bro this is so nostalgic and calm
Vita edition is another forgotten version that was amazing I would gladly play it over any pocket edition or bedrock edition cause the controls and the game itself felt so good
Epic video! Brought everyone down memory lane. I would wake up every morning and hop on the Wii U and play mini games or just make stuff in creative, fun times
I actually started on Wii U edition as far as the PVP community goes; I was about nine or ten then, I am fourteen now and i am doing well in the community
I met so many people through the minigames on wii u. eventually i met this guy HunterHcm And we startet playing together and through him i met a kid named ross. he was around the same age as me and we played everyday for a while. I remmber being awake until 4am just to play with them since i lived on the opesite side of the world. we would roleplay and make videos on this creative world ross had made, and i think they talked about making a movie for a while. I don't remember how we lost contact if it was the release of the switch or whatever. but god i wish i could have said goodbye. Wherever you are ross and hunter i hope you're doing ok.
legacy was just so nice, the game optimized for the console and made for the console, now they think with bedrock the console is made for the game, which doesnt work out at all
This was my first version of Minecraft!
I bought it with Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze!
I remember being so let down with this version as it had the potential to be the best version.
It was so easy. They could just let you have your whole inventory on your Gamepad at all times and you wouldn't have to jump between menus all the time. It would be such an amazing QoL feature.
So yeah, it was a neat version of Minecraft, but it could have been THE version.
I REMEMBER THIS!! IN THE MARIO MASH UP PACK YOU CAN DESTROY SHY GUY'S MASK AND SEE ITS FACE
I honestly had no idea that the gamepad could show stuff like the inventory. I probably had a setting turned on that made it mirror what the TV showed. & even then, it just displayed the minecraft logo whenever I played multiplayer with my brother, which was all the time.
Minecraft Wii u version was my childhood 😢
As a Nintendo kid, seeing that I finally had a device that was compatible with Minecraft was mind boggling.
Looking back, the world size is... Less that I remember it being..
I love Minecraft: Wii U edition! I still play the mini games online (I can yell at people with the crunchy voice chat).
i just love this i played this game so many times when i was a little younger with my brother we could only play 1 hour and sometimes even more i like it how the people can relate to this even though it had a small community the mini game mode is in my opinion the best of it cause i really wanted to get wins and get better at it. thanks for this vid
Yes, I do! I used to play it all the time with my family. Lots of memories made from it, I love it.
I’ve played this version before and I really liked the Wii U
YESSSS it was incredibly underrated
Holy fuckin shit I remember starting off with this version and I loved it like I would play the tutorial map over and over being stuck on what to do and playing online multiplayer and with the built in mashup packs and my chest zombie skin. Brings me back.
Went back to this because I bought a Wii U I still love it
That was the best! I played it for years. best years of my childhood. Especially because online was free.
I still own and play minecraft on the wii u it’s part of almost all my childhood
I was one of the ones who owned one mainly because I asked my parents for a switch not knowing about how the new smash game was not on WiiU so my parents got me wiiu and smash bros and later got Minecraft but my WiiU broke but still have the games I had
I vividly remember playing with this dude i met playing smash bros wii u
This mf instilled my fear of elder guardians within me
I honestly love minecraft wii u though
The minigames were so much fun
It’s really nice you could meet new people through this game that you’d never get to know without stumbling across each other in game that’s what’s so awesome about the Wii u
god i remember this. my favorite area was isle delfino, the sunshine island. it’s around one of the airships in the sea but god it was so cute, all of the villagers were reskinned as piantas to match the vibe!!!
This video just gave me so much nostalgia
I’m really glad :))
I had a wii u just for mario maker but i also had minecraft for when i was not playing that, n the wii u had amazing games like mario kart 8 n 3d world alot of switch game were ported games
Yup the switch makes the Wii u less needed with most games being on it now but at the time the Wii u was my favourite console and I played it so much. It was awesome!!
i played an insane amount of time with my childhood bestfriend online, brought my wii u to his place etc, and then we transferred the world to the switch and i still have it! same with the wii u and the world on it! when i got the wii u christmas 2015 i said i was going to buried with my wii u and i aint kiddin ya. i supported nintendo through it all. my friends all had, and played the 3ds but said wii and wii u was "gay" and generally had xbox 360s or ps3s.
i remember coming home from school and playing on the only game i had that had voice chat. man it was so great
I remember I played it, even though I already had it on the 360. I found a mob spawner in the desert on the surface uncovered by sand. The GamePad's thumbstick started drifting too...
I’m going to buy a Wii U, and Minecraft is a game I’m looking forward to, and yes I know that the Wii U isn’t a good console for Minecraft, but it doesn’t matter about the console, all that matters is you having fun.
I used to play it so much, it was so fun and worked pretty well
hope all my buddies are doing good, havent played in a while but I hope they miss online like me and hopefully i can talk to them again..
Bro i loved the wiiu and mc on there was amazing! I remember i lived in a village- built a big wall around it and made it spider proof - I had every farm - mined a whole chunk of - died no times and i only had enough diamonds for a sword. i also had like 23 stacks of iron and im pretty sure i mined the while worlds iron supply lol. i always played as a fancy enderman
I remember playing this game on my wii u a lot with my dad and sibling before personal events happened that caused my dad and us to be separated from eachother. Especially with how I will always make tons of new world with the Mario world, tutorial world, etc.😆
