To be honest, the CD-I gets a bad wrap that’s not really deserved. When it first came out it was very breathtaking because it really was the first of its kind. It had movies and videos and other things all on CDs and that was new technology back in 1994. It was never marketed as a stand alone game console. It was marketed to replace your PC and hook up to your tv and able to do everything your PC could do, but on your tv. And that also included (along with many other things) play video games.
New sub here, I like your vids a lot! But please consider different background music, preferably a longer tune that doesn't repeat every few seconds :(
The CD-i was a great console and a good idea in theory but poorly marketed and timed badly. If it came out earlier as its final form and had a licence for better games it would have been a winner. $30 for a CD instead of a $80 cartridge was how the future went and the ability to play almost DVD quality movies in 1991 could have left laserdisc in the dust.
The WiiU has great exclusives, which mostly made their way to Switch and still did well. WiiU wasn't confusing, 5 seconds of looking at the box and it's very clear it was a completely different console, doing 30 seconds of research would have further confirmed that. I'm glad it gave rise to the Switch, but the nail in the coffin for WiiU was EA, who originally had plans to operate their Origin online service FOR Nintendo, but because talks between the two broke down (EA wanted much more than they even should have suggested), Nintendo cancelled that partnership. Because of this, EA in turn, who was the biggest supporter and advocate for WiiU outside of Ubisoft, cancelled any ports that weren't already in development and rushed the ones that were too far along to market in an attempt to make the WiiU look substandard. This is why Mass Effect 3 was released at $60 at the same time as the full trilogy at $60. EA sabotaged the WiiU and once they pulled support in under a year, every other 3rd party dropped too, again, aside from Ubisoft. Ubisoft themselves screwed over WiiU owners a few times, most notably Rayman Legends which was an exclusive until Microsoft and their bullshit parity clause came into effect. The finished game sat in a warehouse for several months, fully pressed and ready to play, while Ubisoft made the Xbox/PS ports. WiiU would have been successful if not for EA sabotaging the console, the media believing gamers were idiots and reporting that the console was confusing, and blunders like Ubisoft delaying finished, packaged, ready to ship games several months for other consoles. You, and most other gaming outlets, did the WiiU dirty here. It wasn't the best by any means, but it was certainly much better than most have portrayed it and it at least deserves that respect.
Nah wiiU marketing of "new controller" misled developers journalists, and gamers alike, many wouldn't thought that they have to replace their consoles as well. It's a loss and true that it paves to Switch that currently deservedly successful and lived on to one and a half generation, but even Nintendo would bury that period of loss into being forgotten.
Jaguar had 64 bit data bus and two processors out of three inside Tom "GPU" are 64 bit. Also use your actual voice instead of stealing someone's else's.

I believe I’ve heard of some of these

The fact that nobody in these comment sections can discern that this entire channel is AI is disconcerting.
I thought it wasn’t until I checked out their other stuff
Oh hell no....lol
AI slop.
