It sounds exactly like my Wii U's drive, down to the pattern of clicking sounds 😭I also don't think thats a POST beep, it kinda sounds like a mechanical part of the drive moving to me @@buizelmeme6288
@@ilikesonicxbro I mean, ultimately, they do. Switch is a downgrade in personality, and I hate it for that, but it is quite literally just a better console in general because of the support it gets.
@@the_mariocrafter Breath of the Wild was the last Nintendo game released on Wii U, at the same time was the first Switch game so BOTW killed the Wii U
The one thing the Wii U has over the Switch, virtual console aside: A more charming menu and game booting transition. Let's hope that the Switch 2 will bring these types of transitions back.
I feel like for the release of the switch 2 they might update the themes and add music. I don’t think they’ll add gane transitions but I do think they’ll have a update for old switches, and new switches that will just have new UI styles that a way it’s easier to advertise that it’s a “new” console so they don’t screw up like they did with WiiU
On one hand I agree with you, the Wii U had way more charm and personality system wise than the switch. But we need to consider what these are: loading screens. Some of these being especially loooooong. I gotta say this has its charm, but I prefer a faster loading console than one that has a cute image that pops up for 2 minutes every time I boot up the game
I really hope the switch 2 has more charm and soul to it like how the gamecube through Wii U did in there menus. If they can keep the snappiness of the switch and have a soul too, that would be great.
Charming *and* practical. The 3DS and Wii U folders really came in handy to organize games and apps. Looking for a game on the Switch when you have many is so freaking annoying. They implemented folders with an update after years lacking them, but they did in such a freaking unconfortable way...
I'll never forget when my parents brought me a Wii U for Christmas back in 2014 and my siblings and I only played Mario Kart 8 for one week straight Good ol' time 😔
fr man...I grew up playing on the Wii U and 3DS, and I started playing on my Wii U in like 2015. It had Super Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land on it digitally... And for my 6th birthday, my aunt bought me Yoshi's Woolly World for my Wii U, and I remember playing like 5 rounds of Smash Bros, moving on to Super Mario 3D World and playing like until World 7 with 3 other kids at my party, and then taking turns with my brother and other kids at my party in Nintendo Land at Octopus Dance and playing with my brother at the Pikmin one. My favorite Nintendo Land games are probably the Mario Chase and the Luigi's Mansion one. The moment my aunt brought Yoshi's Woolly World, I automatically took the Super Smash Bros disk out of the console, and put the Yoshi's Woolly World one in the console, and just played until like World 3 on it. Ah, the good old days.....

The pikmin 3 splash screen is so nostalgic, even if it is on switch now something about those splash screens made games just feel different when you started playing them
Thank you for making this. I'm one of the few kids that grew up with a Wii U. I used to have an original Wii from 2013 to 2016 and then bought my Wii U in 2016. Now I've modded it and I still play on it sometimes. I used to play Splatoon, Minecraft, Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8, LEGO games and Wii Sports + Wii Sports Resort.
My first Wii U was part of that unlucky few.. This problem started in 2019 and is still present… What it does is bot jsut fine to the menu, BUT if you boot to a game or app it boots forever. Like these loading screens appear but it just keeps trying to load. Something interesting I found is when you boot the game shortly after startup, it actually loads but no save data appears. Also before anyone asks, no error codes appear.
I wouldn't say it is bricked but my Wii U is basically unusable since My charger for it is broken and the battery is completely dried out because my 8-9 year old self kept my Wii U system on while it was on the charging dock and my charger was always at a weird position causing strain on the charger's cord, so until I get a new Wii U battery and charger, I cannot play on it at all
The Splatoon one gave me such summer holiday 2015 vibes. Hype all day grinding on the same what 6 maps. and when you finally got around all the mfs with their tapestry rolls and got the airbrush mg damn
So many of these themes hit so hard! 3D World, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Nintendo Land, Splatoon, Color Splash, and Captain Toad are all the big hitters for me.
me and my brother used to play minecraft on the WiiU and we were always like "ok lets make a survival world in the super mario mashup" and 2 secs after we were in creative mode getting diamond armor and all 😂
the wii u is my favorite nintendo system to this day. tons of untapped potential that homebrew taps into. also if you have never felt a wii u disc, its magical and you are missing out on the best feeling you will grace dem fingies with💀
Same. I loved it with all my heart. I am thankful I realised it's worth from the start. I spend a lot of time on Miiverse and all the Wii U games. I know all that made it special. Art Acadamy, how active the RUclips community on Miiverse was, how life changing it was to know how to make screenshots. Damn, even Minecraft on the Wii U was a beautiful life experience just thanks to the voice chat and how Miiverse made finding friends so easy. I still keep those friendships
Minecraft, Splatoon, and 3D world hit me like a semi-truck of nostalgia man... You would also think that Mario kart and smash would give me nostalgia, but I only got those summer of 22. I don't even have Mario party 10. And I got my wii u 2016, so I'm not a og player. Still my favorite console tho!

Oh yes finally someone who is nostalgic about Minecraft Wii U Edition. The voice chat was life changing for me. I have so many memories with the many friends I made there and through Miiverse first.
Can't believe Wii u nostalgia is real now... I was 8 when I got mine, loved it so much. It was such an amazing platform, so sad that it flopped in sales...
That drive sound effect was nostalgia in itself, Literally thought something was wrong with my Wii U when i fired it up LOL, Got so used to the switch's SSD being so quiet.
Wow this video is blowing up a bit after all this time! So while you’re here, please check out some of my other stuff! And don’t forget to subscribe :)
I only really used my Wii U for a little over a year but damn that was enough for me to create beautiful memories and to feel nostalgia watching this. I became a Nintendo fan during that era so even though I didn't use the console for too long it left a big impact in me
There was a day on 2016, i woke up and started on the gamepad on the weekend to play something, i still remember some friends coming to my house and we played super Mario 3d world, Nintendo land and Mario kart 8, about the Nintendo switch rise things won't be exactly the same but we have to thank Nintendo to port those good memories and times that we laugh on the switch R.I.P Wii U 2012-2023 The same that made us laugh, now makes you cry -That GTA guy that i forgot his name
the wii u was my first dedicated console experience after i became a conscious human being that wasn’t only 8 years old and only played the most popular wii games prior to the wii u release in 2012. being able to remember these game launches (the reveals and discussion about the games in addition to the literal launches showcased in this video) so vividly made me thankful to have experienced it while it was there. i was always aware about playstation’s and xbox’s releases but i can always look back on those with easily found information nowadays, compared to the wii u which all things considered commercially flopped while having same of the best games of the 2010s ‘trapped’ on the console lol. still hope xenoblade chronicles X makes it out 🙏
2:37 it's probably the one that makes me the most nostalgic, even tho I use to play other games on Wii U. Paper Mario Color Splash has somehow a very special place in my heart. I absolutly loved it when I first played it, but then, because I couldn't beat Bowser as a kid, I gave up and forgot the game. Last year, I thought about it and I decided to replay it. And wow. It was the exact same feelings as when I was younger. But while searching up for some content about this game, I discovered it was pretty unliked, because of its battle system. It made me sad. I still don't understand all the bad criticts this game get. The battle system didn't really bothered me ; and the rest of the game is very good. It's music especially, it's SO good, I keep listening to it sometimes to work. I want to give more credit to this game and also to the Wii U, which is a HUGE part of my childhood and teenagehood, and made me also discover Splatoon, which is my favorite game series of all time for now.
if you liked color splash i highly recommend the earlier entries like Paper Mario (the first one on N64 and Paper Mario the thousand year door! they're both dearly beloved games for a reason! really though if you ask me, i think its expectations, that made everyone hate it, people wanted something more akin to the first two games in the series (e.g. partners, badges, NPCs that aren't just toads, etc.) but instead they went with a wildly different formula which is... polarizing to say the least.
@@MoonMarshmallow thanks for the recommandations! I already thought about getting TTYD when it'll release on the switch. About the expected stuff, in particular the NPCs being Toads, from what I've seen it's because Nintendo restricted the studio which developpes the Paper Mario games, because they didn't appreciated that much how the developpers went free on various characters. They wanted to have something that stitches perfectly with the Mario brand, and it was getting too far away from it so they restricted.
Yeah, i also really liked paper msrio color splash! When i hear critics about the game, i'm like, "why does nobody like this game? It's a very good game!" And when i do it talks about the fact there is no experience points, and you can only use the card once, and here is what i think about it: There IS an experience system, it's the hammer scraps. When you finish a battle, you get some of them, at different tiers. Once you get an amount of them, you level up to more paint, much like experience system. And for the card one time use? I didn't mind it, i always had more than enough, even when i was fighting most enemies. So, i really like color splash, and i don't get why nobody does. PS: i don't like sticker star's final boss
The wiiu was my childhood console… That imcredibly audible disc spinning and the little clicks before the wiiu startup jingle never fail to make me feel 10 years old sitting in the living room with the wiiu. The startups for Splatoon, 3D World, Smash, and SMM are all incredibly nostalgic for me aswell
while i was watching this, i shed a tear. as a kid of the 2010's, this was so nostlagic to me. I still have my WiiU, and im pretty tempted to boot it up now. I can also play Wii games on it, which is a relief. I just have to dig it out.
Wii u was pure love... so much quality game free online no dlc full and complete game... man I miss this era. Nintendoland, wii party u, mario kart, smash, splatoon, xenoblade chronicles x, bayonetta 2, mario 3d world, maker, .. so many games that were absolute banger
@@youbi8506 I understand you, I want to go back to the glorious time (2006 to 2016) that golden time for video games where developers really care about making fun games, balancing between graphics and gameplay, now everything is digital and lifeless, it takes me back to the Wii U era again
@@arthurgamerpro6585 there is still some love, some good games but yeah now games are mainly products... mostly focus on graphics or online instead of pure fun. Moreover, this focus on graphic is so bad because now the game will be more expensive to make + will take more time to make.
I have most of these games and they all have a special place in my heart. It’s so fun to go back to the Wii and WiiU once in a while! The BotW startup is so nostalgic.
This made me feel so many emotions, lots of sad ones as I would do anything to go back to these days. When I reached the S+ rank in Splatoon, when I completed Paper Mario : Color Splash for the tenth time, when I played Smash Bros with seven cpus on the big Palutena temple for chaos, when me and my brothers would die of laughter on Wii Party U with that pictures taking game, when we were so hyped by 3D World, when I spent hours upgrading my house on Animal Crossing, when I would play Mario Party 10 for hours, because even tho people hated the car gimmick, I loved this game with all my heart, when I posted my first Mario Maker level, when me and my brothers would lose races on purpose on Mario Kart just to have fun with the big items, when I would drop my schoolbag as soon as I got home to play, and so much more. Thanks for everything Nintendo, my heroes
As someone who always wanted a Wii U as a kid but never got one, this is fascinating to watch. In another timeline, maybe this would be as nostalgic for me.
i miss so many of these, but the 3d world and new soup u ones were probably the ones that got me the most, since those were my first games for the system and probably the games i played the most. bless mario kart 8 deluxe for keeping the start!
Pretty cool how you included Breath of The Wild in here! I know a lot of people associate it with the Switch but I feel like a lot of people tend to forget or probably just don’t know that it started as a Wii U game
I still remember buying my Wii U back in early 2014. Still have the old thing even 10 years later. Splatoon, Mario Maker, Mario Kart 8, Pokemon Rumble U... So many games I obsessed over as a young child
@@Myrmiddonn That's right, because we're talking about a console that will be considered retro in the future, and it will also be considered a 2010s classic in 2030s.
@@enderbragen1659 it was originally meant to be a wii u exclusive and a planned 2015 release but then it kept getting delayed and as the switch was about to be released they decided to release it at the same time. I think they realised that this would significantly increase the switch's sales--and it did.
nsmbu and nintendo land ones bring back major nostalgia of when i got the wii u for easter around the year it launched, best easter ever 10 years later
0:26 0:36 0:45 1:01 1:49 These 5 are the most nostalgic to me.. (I remember not having a switch when BotW came out so I had to play the Wii U version… surprisingly I actually beat all shrines, got all amour and got half of it maxed out and all 4 divine beasts, fun times….)
@KaiJames-it9ps Well. The Wii U was a failure, selling around 13 million while other Nintendo systems sold 5+ times more than it. Breath of the Wild was in development for years and was for sure coming to the Wii U. Despite going through development hell multiple times, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild became the last first party game for the Wii U and the first ever game for the Nintendo Switch on March 3rd, 2017.
I don't see anyone talking about Color Splash. I remember playing the game up until the yellow toads on the stage in the beach where the key randomizes, which caused me to quit out of frustration. A year or two later I start up the game again, look up a guide, then completed the rest of it. 10/10, it wasn't perfect, but I got so many memeories and had a great time.
0:45 this splash screen drives me insane, because I bought 3 copies of NSMBU+NSLU on disk (about $150) and they all came unplayable. One disk that worked the most got as far as this splash screen, and I waited for it to load as the music looped. Still wish I just bought the digital version.
Yeah sometimes the disks have permanent damage that makes it only stay on the splash screen. I bought Pikmin 3 second hand a few months ago and it had this issue (luckily I returned it and got a refund)
I used to make my Wii U portable by putting put the console in a backpack and plugging it into the wall of whatever location Then playing on the tablet, it felt so innovative
Same. No matter how many Switches come. Miiverse, Wii U games, the console itself, Minecraft Wii U Editon, and a special mention to Art Academy, not even a computer with high end graphics makes me as happy
I love the fact that the best selling switch game is a port of a Wii U game
Which itself was also the best selling Wii U game.

A ton of these games are underrated and trapped on the Wii U
These little things alone have more personality than the switch it’s actually sad
Wii Uはソフトも面白いしこの動画のようにムービーもあるからロード時間も気長に待てるからやめられない
amen brother, i think the wii u is ending up like the gamecube
Wii U is basically GameCube or Dreamcast for 2010s kids
That drive sound effect was nostalgia in itself, Literally thought something was wrong with my Wii U when i fired it up LOL, Got so used to the switch's SSD being so quiet.
1:43 is such a goated song
Wow this video is blowing up a bit after all this time! So while you’re here, please check out some of my other stuff! And don’t forget to subscribe :)
Honestly the mario maker splash would be an amazing switch startup
The Wii U was fire. Even back then i didn't understand why people disliked it so much
I only really used my Wii U for a little over a year but damn that was enough for me to create beautiful memories and to feel nostalgia watching this. I became a Nintendo fan during that era so even though I didn't use the console for too long it left a big impact in me
2:28 was my childhood!
Pikmin 3 what a game
I had this game since friken August 2019 first pikmin game loved it
There was a day on 2016, i woke up and started on the gamepad on the weekend to play something, i still remember some friends coming to my house and we played super Mario 3d world, Nintendo land and Mario kart 8, about the Nintendo switch rise things won't be exactly the same but we have to thank Nintendo to port those good memories and times that we laugh on the switch
R.I.P Wii U 2012-2023
The same that made us laugh, now makes you cry
-That GTA guy that i forgot his name
CJ ?
@@coolcommentsBig Smoke.
the wii u was my first dedicated console experience after i became a conscious human being that wasn’t only 8 years old and only played the most popular wii games prior to the wii u release in 2012. being able to remember these game launches (the reveals and discussion about the games in addition to the literal launches showcased in this video) so vividly made me thankful to have experienced it while it was there. i was always aware about playstation’s and xbox’s releases but i can always look back on those with easily found information nowadays, compared to the wii u which all things considered commercially flopped while having same of the best games of the 2010s ‘trapped’ on the console lol. still hope xenoblade chronicles X makes it out 🙏
Thought the beginning sound was my Wii U actually turning on, batted an eye for a sec and realized it was just the video when I saw the red light 😂
Thanks for making this video! So much nostalgia!
This is nostalgia avenue! Thank you for making this!!
2:37 it's probably the one that makes me the most nostalgic, even tho I use to play other games on Wii U. Paper Mario Color Splash has somehow a very special place in my heart. I absolutly loved it when I first played it, but then, because I couldn't beat Bowser as a kid, I gave up and forgot the game. Last year, I thought about it and I decided to replay it. And wow. It was the exact same feelings as when I was younger. But while searching up for some content about this game, I discovered it was pretty unliked, because of its battle system. It made me sad. I still don't understand all the bad criticts this game get. The battle system didn't really bothered me ; and the rest of the game is very good. It's music especially, it's SO good, I keep listening to it sometimes to work.
I want to give more credit to this game and also to the Wii U, which is a HUGE part of my childhood and teenagehood, and made me also discover Splatoon, which is my favorite game series of all time for now.
if you liked color splash i highly recommend the earlier entries like Paper Mario (the first one on N64 and Paper Mario the thousand year door! they're both dearly beloved games for a reason!
really though if you ask me, i think its expectations, that made everyone hate it, people wanted something more akin to the first two games in the series (e.g. partners, badges, NPCs that aren't just toads, etc.) but instead they went with a wildly different formula which is... polarizing to say the least.
@@MoonMarshmallow thanks for the recommandations! I already thought about getting TTYD when it'll release on the switch.
About the expected stuff, in particular the NPCs being Toads, from what I've seen it's because Nintendo restricted the studio which developpes the Paper Mario games, because they didn't appreciated that much how the developpers went free on various characters. They wanted to have something that stitches perfectly with the Mario brand, and it was getting too far away from it so they restricted.
Yeah, i also really liked paper msrio color splash! When i hear critics about the game, i'm like, "why does nobody like this game? It's a very good game!" And when i do it talks about the fact there is no experience points, and you can only use the card once, and here is what i think about it:
There IS an experience system, it's the hammer scraps. When you finish a battle, you get some of them, at different tiers. Once you get an amount of them, you level up to more paint, much like experience system. And for the card one time use? I didn't mind it, i always had more than enough, even when i was fighting most enemies. So, i really like color splash, and i don't get why nobody does.
PS: i don't like sticker star's final boss
Wii U: *starts up*
Subtitles: *Laughter*
You might have it on auto generated
The Wii U is a supervillain we figured it out
Man as someone who grew up with the Wii U, I never realized how much I loved these little touches. Thanks for the nostalgia, I appreciate it.
I completely agree!
that splatoon drum solo... hits so hard in the feels every time
やっぱスプラの待機音一番好き
分かりみすぎる
The wiiu was my childhood console… That imcredibly audible disc spinning and the little clicks before the wiiu startup jingle never fail to make me feel 10 years old sitting in the living room with the wiiu. The startups for Splatoon, 3D World, Smash, and SMM are all incredibly nostalgic for me aswell
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze was so nostalgic... of the game not saving and the lag switching between levels
while i was watching this, i shed a tear. as a kid of the 2010's, this was so nostlagic to me. I still have my WiiU, and im pretty tempted to boot it up now. I can also play Wii games on it, which is a relief. I just have to dig it out.
Do you think nostalgia for the 2010s and Wii U will be common in the 2030s? I hope so.
Nostalgia overload, thanks for making this video man.
0:45
This one in paticular is so nostalgic for me
Loved these splash screens. The Yoshi’s Wooly World and Rainbow Curse ones hit like a truck. My game used to take a while to start.
Wii u was pure love... so much quality game free online no dlc full and complete game... man I miss this era. Nintendoland, wii party u, mario kart, smash, splatoon, xenoblade chronicles x, bayonetta 2, mario 3d world, maker, .. so many games that were absolute banger
At that time, you just had to put in a disc and play (the famous plug and play), unlike today.
@@arthurgamerpro6585 I miss those days... online is so bad
@@youbi8506 I understand you, I want to go back to the glorious time (2006 to 2016) that golden time for video games where developers really care about making fun games, balancing between graphics and gameplay, now everything is digital and lifeless, it takes me back to the Wii U era again
@@arthurgamerpro6585 there is still some love, some good games but yeah now games are mainly products... mostly focus on graphics or online instead of pure fun. Moreover, this focus on graphic is so bad because now the game will be more expensive to make + will take more time to make.
0:25 *MARIO JUMPSCARE*
スーパーマリオメーカーの世界のコースで
スーパーマリオ全自動を見た時の感動は忘れられない。セーブしておいてよかった…
mario party 10 got me~
I grew up playing the wii u. Mario Kart 8, Nintendo Land, and especially Super Mario 3D World were my favorites.
oh colour splash, one of my favourite games of all time
Same bro
I have most of these games and they all have a special place in my heart. It’s so fun to go back to the Wii and WiiU once in a while! The BotW startup is so nostalgic.
The good old days
This made me feel so many emotions, lots of sad ones as I would do anything to go back to these days. When I reached the S+ rank in Splatoon, when I completed Paper Mario : Color Splash for the tenth time, when I played Smash Bros with seven cpus on the big Palutena temple for chaos, when me and my brothers would die of laughter on Wii Party U with that pictures taking game, when we were so hyped by 3D World, when I spent hours upgrading my house on Animal Crossing, when I would play Mario Party 10 for hours, because even tho people hated the car gimmick, I loved this game with all my heart, when I posted my first Mario Maker level, when me and my brothers would lose races on purpose on Mario Kart just to have fun with the big items, when I would drop my schoolbag as soon as I got home to play, and so much more.
Thanks for everything Nintendo, my heroes
1:20 Windows Startup Sound be like
As someone who always wanted a Wii U as a kid but never got one, this is fascinating to watch. In another timeline, maybe this would be as nostalgic for me.
3:34 bro what is this start up screen the developer knew what they were doing
Indeed😏
RIP Wii U - 2012-2024
Rip miiverse we will miss you
The Mario Maker one gives me chills every time, i remember playing that game all the time back in early 2016-late 2017
Man, this is why I still have my Wii U since 2015. Truly a great yet underrated console. 💙
BRO THE FIRST NOISES REMIND ME OF MY DVD PLAYER THAT I STILL HAVE(YES I STILL HAVE THE DVDS)
this is nostalgia
やるべきことを終わらせたら、きっと楽しい時間が訪れるはずさ。
The most underated thing of the most underated console
i miss so many of these, but the 3d world and new soup u ones were probably the ones that got me the most, since those were my first games for the system and probably the games i played the most.
bless mario kart 8 deluxe for keeping the start!
2:58 The Best one yet ❤❤❤❤❤❤
THE SMM ONE IS A WAVE OF NOSTALGIA
Pretty cool how you included Breath of The Wild in here! I know a lot of people associate it with the Switch but I feel like a lot of people tend to forget or probably just don’t know that it started as a Wii U game
I still remember buying my Wii U back in early 2014. Still have the old thing even 10 years later.
Splatoon, Mario Maker, Mario Kart 8, Pokemon Rumble U... So many games I obsessed over as a young child
Imagine in 2034, your console still working even 20 years later, I think you would feel old
@@arthurgamerpro6585 I'll make sure it does, this old thing still has a ton of work to do and is an emulation beast
@@Myrmiddonn That's right, because we're talking about a console that will be considered retro in the future, and it will also be considered a 2010s classic in 2030s.
I honestly didn't know breath of the wild was on the Wii U. I thought it was a launch title for the switch.
It was a launch title for switch, but it also released for Wii u at the same time
It was but they added it to the wii U knowing that not alot of people have a switch
@@enderbragen1659 it was originally meant to be a wii u exclusive and a planned 2015 release but then it kept getting delayed and as the switch was about to be released they decided to release it at the same time. I think they realised that this would significantly increase the switch's sales--and it did.
@@Luna2942GM ha de
@@enderbragen1659 i think it was the opposite actually
1:21 NOSTALGIA
Rest in peace, Wii U and 3DS online. It was fun 🥹
I sat on this screen for minutes when i was little 1:11
nsmbu and nintendo land ones bring back major nostalgia of when i got the wii u for easter around the year it launched, best easter ever 10 years later

These 5 are the most nostalgic to me.. (I remember not having a switch when BotW came out so I had to play the Wii U version… surprisingly I actually beat all shrines, got all amour and got half of it maxed out and all 4 divine beasts, fun times….)
@KaiJames-it9ps
Breath of the Wild. It's a Zelda game and was the last game made by Nintendo for the Wii U.
@KaiJames-it9ps
Well. The Wii U was a failure, selling around 13 million while other Nintendo systems sold 5+ times more than it. Breath of the Wild was in development for years and was for sure coming to the Wii U. Despite going through development hell multiple times, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild became the last first party game for the Wii U and the first ever game for the Nintendo Switch on March 3rd, 2017.
I don't see anyone talking about Color Splash. I remember playing the game up until the yellow toads on the stage in the beach where the key randomizes, which caused me to quit out of frustration. A year or two later I start up the game again, look up a guide, then completed the rest of it. 10/10, it wasn't perfect, but I got so many memeories and had a great time.
0:45 this splash screen drives me insane, because I bought 3 copies of NSMBU+NSLU on disk (about $150) and they all came unplayable. One disk that worked the most got as far as this splash screen, and I waited for it to load as the music looped. Still wish I just bought the digital version.
Yeah sometimes the disks have permanent damage that makes it only stay on the splash screen. I bought Pikmin 3 second hand a few months ago and it had this issue (luckily I returned it and got a refund)
@@Spletz i got my disk on ebay 😔😔
I used to make my Wii U portable by putting put the console in a backpack and plugging it into the wall of whatever location
Then playing on the tablet, it felt so innovative
I am a wii u kid. thanks for giving me a trip down memory lane.
Same. No matter how many Switches come. Miiverse, Wii U games, the console itself, Minecraft Wii U Editon, and a special mention to Art Academy, not even a computer with high end graphics makes me as happy
I never had a Wii U, but I had a Wii. This was somehow still super nostalgic because the sounds I recognize from the switch, and the Wii noises
I hate you but you have an elgatito pfp so ill forgive you
why?
