you can echo that same statement about GameCube. Outside America, the Wii U was pretty damn close to GC in lifetime sales- Europe was only a few hundred thousand, just like Japan, it's America where people were turned off, primarily because Wii owners who were 80 weren't going to buy another system.
+MarioCraft156 // Mario Gaming Channel .....exactly. I loved my Wii & Wii U. But unfortunately that damn name, wii u, drove masses completely away. Thank GOD for the SWITCH!
It had a good library although the hardware concept itself was not very good at all. I see a lot of people mindlessly praising it simply because it stands out from the competition which is indeed a brave act but here I am thinking if the hardware itself offered anything relevant at all.. I think it really doesn't.. The screen on the controller made it expensive, hard to replace and most developers didn't know how to take advantage of it, there was no need to upgrade from the Wii. Being independent from TVs is cool though.. But most people that buy a console definitely have more than enough money to buy a TV dedicated for playing games.. So in the end combine pointless hardware with bad marketing and terrible launch... Of course it failed. Before making a new hardware, one must ask "Why improve? Why not just continue with the same console making games for it forever?". I'm sorry but I think that everything that Nintendo did with the WiiU's hardware and marketing was quite pointless, it's what I call "forced innovation", only the library of games was great.
The Offical Orlandogamer04 Channel so how about: Splatoon, Pikmin3, WindwakerHD, TwillightprincessHD, Nintendo Land, Super Smash Bros, and fricking Breath of the wild.
The wiiu is my only console so Yeah i Love it. one off my friends is very lucky cus he has all the Nintendo consoles and all the games and he is only 10 years old. 😪😪😪
I just remember that year of 2003, when I just got a "new" N64; went home and recorded Super Mario 64 on a old VHS tape... those were the good times. Nice video, Rod!
I really hope Nintendo sticks with this format. It's the best of both worlds. While I'm at work I can play on breaks, and when I'm at the house I can play on the tv. And all the options for the costrollers is so nice. I love that I can use them separately if I want. Here in about 2 or 3 years I like to see Nintendo come out with a switch 2. With updated processers and screen resolutions. And keep the controllers the same so people with a switch can upgrade and still be able to use their other controllers .
Not even close, Vita sold over 10 times that of Virtual Boy- in Japan alone! Vita lasted over 5 years on the market (in Japan at least), Virtual Boy got FIVE MONTHS! You kids who don't know squat from the 90's need to stop talking about stuff you know nothing about. I was an adult when Virtual Boy debuted in 1995, and saw it pulled less than 6 months after, was Vita pulled in 2012? Nope!
Nintendo change the game for consoles I was a Nintendo kid I had the original version how had is Super Nintendo Nintendo 64 and I had a lot of game boys
Guys he's not saying Nintendo handhelds are bad. He's pointing out how extensive a video about it would be because of all the handhelds they have produced
Juan Gallardo, bro, I'm making a reference INSTEAD OF swearing. Sega still makes good games, and they would still be on their own consoles is you people hadn't judged the Dreamcast by it's controller.
Your video was very good and informative. The only 2 things I missed were (A) The relationship between Nintendo and Atari when Nintendo was starting out and (B) A little more about why the Wii U failed. But I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
You did seem to skip out on some important facts pre-1985 regarding the TV Game 6 and the joint project between Nintendo and Mitsubishi. You have also ommitted that Nintendo's first sole console was the CTG-BK6 which was the 1st console to bear the Nintendo badge albeit it wasn't sold worldwide, it pretty much made the NES sound like their 1st own console which of course it wasn't. Other than that, the video by large was pretty good and will educate a few people. Good work.
SATORU IWATA IS MY GOD. THE WII WAS MY FIRST CONSOLE. Sorry; the Wii has a special place at my house. It’s next to my ps2, which I found with spiderwebs on it. I never got a Wii U. On launch of the switch, I played skyward sword and twilight princess for BOTW. Before odyssey, I played galaxy. god I love Nintendo
Nintendo had a great run... But soon going to make games, with my own company... plus I'm 15 years old, and when I get though College and work on a game with hardware... Soon to be released I Think in year 2065... I mean why not... I'm going to make a game
The PS2 doubled as a DVD player which at the time weren't cheap, So buying a gaming console for your kids and a DVD player at the same time was more enticing and thus pushed third party developers further and further from Nintendo as larger amount of people owned PS2's
dont you mean dvd? They also used dirty tactics liek claiming it will release this year every year since the launch of the dreamcast even through they knew it wont be released anytime soon.
If a legit version of Wolfenstien 2 actually releases on Switch(I'll believe it when its happened, the announcement was kinda offhand), the "cant play AAA titles" theory will be done. GTA5 is 4 years old, Im pretty sure Switch could handle it, but current AAA titles is still up for debate until W2 Switch drops. The Switch having the X2(not the X1) will always be a big "what if" for me
I can't wait to get a Nintendo switch but my report card is about to come out and my mom said if I get a good grade in math I'll get it I hope my grade is good
Nintendo was once a very multi-versed corporation that did all sorts of things much like Microsoft does except that Microsoft was always all about computer stuff and by extension games while Nintendo did all sorts of completely unrelated things but then suddenly became dedicated to only gaming, sacrificing their versatility in order to become a well recognized brand.
Dawn Hornsey Uhhh except a game needs more than just RAM to be able to run on something. It needs enough processor power, graphic card that can actually handle the graphic of the game, and ENOUGH storage. RAM is just the memory, and having barely enough RAM will probably just make your game lags (a lot)
Though you did miss 2 consoles... One being the Colour TV and the other being the N64 but In China or a Asia country, published by someone else with a different name. Still made by Nintendo and though it is KINDA handheld Plug-in-play consoles still need a tv.
Porting those games is possible but I do not think it will happen. Nintendo Switch is pretty powerful but not as near powerful as the PS4 is but I can accept that. Why not if the system reaches 10,000,000 sales, announce a more powerful version of it which is basically the same but a better display on the screen and performance on the go and 4K output in TV Mode. I really want Platinum on the Switch. It’s fantastic to hear it is doing just as good as the Wii is.
Sorry at 8:28 the commentary states that nintendo is not who go to for multiplayer for?! Nintendo consoles were known for multiplayer. N64, had four ports at the front! Gamecube had four ports on the front. The wii had hidden 4 ports at the top or side depending how u stood the console. Nintendo were known for multiplayer games. It's why they try to keep that family entertainment image
gamecube made profit on each console sold while ps2 and xbox lost money on each unit sold. don't see how they lost that one at all, they are the only one who made any money.
I know this is an older video but why did you use the scarce implied competition Wasn’t around and being next since will competition world became greater in the next sentence I think may Fierce is the one you’re thinking of
I actually really like the Wii U it’s one of my favorite consoles and breath of the wild is a Wii U game it also had Mario kart 8 Mario maker twilight princess HD windwaker HD the vast virtual console Nintendo land Mario 3D world and many more
I feel badly for the Wii U, it was an amazing console with amazing games, but due to Nintendo's horrendous advertising it failed. Imo, had Nintendo advertised the Wii U better, it would've sold way better, its bad advertising in my opinion is the ONLY reason why it failed.
Sony also came back from the dead, after they overplayed their hand with PS3 and lost to the RROD Machine and the DVD case...pretty sad considering how PS and PS2 did. But thanks to Nintendo overplaying their hand even worse than they did with N64 and Microsoft trying to murder the used game market, it was easy sailing for the PS4.
ps4 "ha nintendo is dead" nintendo switch "ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT"
wii u "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH"
Wii:uwaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Poor Wii-U Good Game, Bad Marketing😂
Dr.Mad And not a lot of third party support :(

The console and the games were great, but no one bought it....

wii u is still my favorite console of all time idc what anyone says i love the games on it
The Offical Orlandogamer04 Channel so how about: Splatoon, Pikmin3, WindwakerHD, TwillightprincessHD, Nintendo Land, Super Smash Bros, and fricking Breath of the wild.
The wiiu is my only console so Yeah i Love it. one off my friends is very lucky cus he has all the Nintendo consoles and all the games and he is only 10 years old. 😪😪😪
And one of my favorite games on it is star fox zero and i dont care What people say about it i like it
Maybe you do care since you commented!
Yeah
I'm 10 and I still remember playing the N64 with my friend
3:34 “competition became scarce”
Um, wat?
Edit: just pointing out that made no sense.
I just remember that year of 2003, when I just got a "new" N64; went home and recorded Super Mario 64 on a old VHS tape... those were the good times. Nice video, Rod!
I like the GameCube, the Wii and the Wii U.
Phew! I have a OG n64 from the 90s
It still works perfectly
Same here too that was my first game console

No Virtual Boy??
VB is the vita of Nintendo. Both sony and Nintendo deny the existence of the respective system. It also kinda counts as a handheld i guess.
Not even close, Vita sold over 10 times that of Virtual Boy- in Japan alone! Vita lasted over 5 years on the market (in Japan at least), Virtual Boy got FIVE MONTHS! You kids who don't know squat from the 90's need to stop talking about stuff you know nothing about.

Jack Son gratz for not even getting the point. Reading isn't your strong point, or is it.
Carter Dioxide well it was considered a portable console but lets be honest I dont think anyone used that shit out side their house
Black Streak Gaming lol right
My first Nintendo console is the GameCube. That console is fantastic.

“Your days are numbered!”
*crash for switch*
The irony...
Crash bandicoot is garbage
Is it weird that I’m watching this on my Nintendo switch
Nintendo handhelds video will be a mess.
Sushikuu why?
Nintendo Switch???
Nintendo 3DS and Switch Isn’t a mess
I'm from the future and no it isnt
Guys he's not saying Nintendo handhelds are bad. He's pointing out how extensive a video about it would be because of all the handhelds they have produced
It's easy to ignore handhelds, but keep in mind the gba and 3ds were dominating that market the whole time their consoles lagged behind.
Evolution of Sony and then Microsoft????
Lara Croft how about Sega?
ChrisTheGeek we don't talk about sega anymore...
Juan Gallardo, go puck yourself
Jack Lazzaro You can't even spell, and it's true, sega is dead.
Juan Gallardo, bro, I'm making a reference INSTEAD OF swearing. Sega still makes good games, and they would still be on their own consoles is you people hadn't judged the Dreamcast by it's controller.
I loved the Wii as a kid it was my childhood console and I also love the Nintendo Switch now!!! :D
Johny1220 The Nintendo Switch is a BEAST AND has great games :D
I'm hoping Nintendo would go the 3DS route and release a more powerful version of the Switch in the future. A "new" Switch, if you will. XD
8:50 LOL
Your video was very good and informative. The only 2 things I missed were (A) The relationship between Nintendo and Atari when Nintendo was starting out and (B) A little more about why the Wii U failed. But I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
What hurt the Gamecube was that it couldn't play DVD's... both of its competitors could.
Hey um actually the Nintendo famicom came out before the nes and the nes wad given to America
I hope Nintendo gives the switch at least 2 years of life.... they still need the virtual console games, smash bros, and Pokémon
APHplays the switch is going to have 4+ years of life
i watched the handheld one first but i like how the switch was on portable and home consel and yes i know its portable i have a switch my self.
I wanna follow you in a creepy way, for real
You should do a brief history on plug & play "consoles"
I love your vids. Do a evolution of roku!
You just got a new subscriber!
Great job!!!
You did seem to skip out on some important facts pre-1985 regarding the TV Game 6 and the joint project between Nintendo and Mitsubishi. You have also ommitted that Nintendo's first sole console was the CTG-BK6 which was the 1st console to bear the Nintendo badge albeit it wasn't sold worldwide, it pretty much made the NES sound like their 1st own console which of course it wasn't. Other than that, the video by large was pretty good and will educate a few people. Good work.

I got a Nintendo Switch ad before this.
SATORU IWATA IS MY GOD. THE WII WAS MY FIRST CONSOLE.
Sorry; the Wii has a special place at my house. It’s next to my ps2, which I found with spiderwebs on it. I never got a Wii U. On launch of the switch, I played skyward sword and twilight princess for BOTW. Before odyssey, I played galaxy.
god I love Nintendo
Biggest wars in gaming
PS3 vs 360
N64 vs PS1
SNES vs Genesis
Nintendo had a great run...
But soon going to make games, with my own company...
plus I'm 15 years old, and when I get though College and work on a game with hardware...
Soon to be released I Think in year 2065...
I mean why not...
I'm going to make a game
It's sad that the Wii U had great games but was overshadowed
The Genesis Came in 1988 and 1989 and the SNES was released in 1990 so that was fair
The PS2 doubled as a DVD player which at the time weren't cheap, So buying a gaming console for your kids and a DVD player at the same time was more enticing and thus pushed third party developers further and further from Nintendo as larger amount of people owned PS2's
dont you mean dvd? They also used dirty tactics liek claiming it will release this year every year since the launch of the dreamcast even through they knew it wont be released anytime soon.
Oh ok thank you for that
Fixed that
I got a ps4 ad for this
If a legit version of Wolfenstien 2 actually releases on Switch(I'll believe it when its happened, the announcement was kinda offhand), the "cant play AAA titles" theory will be done. GTA5 is 4 years old, Im pretty sure Switch could handle it, but current AAA titles is still up for debate until W2 Switch drops.

I can't wait to get a Nintendo switch but my report card is about to come out and my mom said if I get a good grade in math I'll get it I hope my grade is good
If gta 6 somehow gets released on nintendo switch. Early 2020 sales: 100mil while *late 2020 sales: 300MIL*

The wii was my first console
You should make a evelution of handhelds and maybe like Xbox or ps
Extr3me Play3r Xbox hasn't made a handheld for a really long time.
Mii 2.0 has Microsoft ever made a handheld?
Leonardo Ortíz I meant a evelution of consoles like Xbox or ps not ps handhelds
What about the virtual boy? (I know it was portable but it was also marketed as a home console, it should have at least been mentioned.
awsome video!! But you forgot just 1 consel. the wii mini
That’s literally just a Wii in a smaller case with no Gamecube support, it’s not a separate console.
Actually the game and watch had the first dpad, it was only on a few games however.
I find bizzare how Mario and Nintendo are the same
Speaking of Nintendo I got a Nintendo switch ad
Wii:don't forget about me switch
Nintendo really love to make new cool/strange name for their console
When he revealed SNES there was Doom 1 music
I'm pretty sure doom 1 was on SNES that's why
Actually GTA v can run on the switch because the switch has 4GB of ram which GTA v needs to work so GTA v is possible
Dawn Hornsey Uhhh except a game needs more than just RAM to be able to run on something. It needs enough processor power, graphic card that can actually handle the graphic of the game, and ENOUGH storage. RAM is just the memory, and having barely enough RAM will probably just make your game lags (a lot)
It can run on the xbox 360 and ps3, and the switch is just as powerful, if not more powerful than those systems, so YES, it can run on the switch.
Dawn Hornsey just because it has enough ram doesn't mean it can run a game
GTA V can for sure run on switch, but it would need optimization and Rockstar doesn't want to do that.
gta v could easily run on the switch. if it got a port it would probably be a version in between the gen 7 and 8 versions
Welcome to the future

Hey you forgot the 1983 famicom, without that system there would've never been a nes.
toppdogg2k17 its the nes
Also the famicom disc drive and keyboard, and game and watch systems.
toppdogg2k17 just home consoles not handhalds
thatonedude But who? Its still part of Nintendo gaming history, Nintendo also had pong clones also.
toppdogg2k17 oh yeah maybe he missed that
Porting those games is possible but I do not think it will happen. Nintendo Switch is pretty powerful but not as near powerful as the PS4 is but I can accept that.

@Rod Studios You forgot the Virtual Boy
Sega just got hit with the tsar bomba
Virtual Boy? Wii Mini? NES Classic? SNES Classic? Start this video over, you failed
I say, Microsoft should make a handheld console, like for halo to the go.
What about Gameboy?
Is this video only about quality hone consoles?? Well if so, then no complaints
he says so in the video several times.....
Consols only no handhelds.
Sorry at 8:28 the commentary states that nintendo is not who go to for multiplayer for?! Nintendo consoles were known for multiplayer. N64, had four ports at the front!
