How the Wii and Wii U is Mind Blowing! 

I mis worded something for those that care, I'm aware that you can use the Home Button to turn the switch on and off. But that's only in and out of sleep mode, so that doesn't really count. I should've clarified that! Regardless I hope you enjoyed the video :)

Unpopular Opinion: the Wii U was good

that intro was smooth as hell

I feel the Wii U is underrated in every aspect, it was a good console, just no one knew what it was.

The Wii and Wii U are actually one of my favorite consoles. I would play these all day and they just gave me pure joy.

Oh god seeing the Homebrew channel and the mii channel in the intro is really nostalgic

Bandy: "The Wii remote is one of Nintendo's sturdiest controllers of all time" Poofesure: "Uhmmm"

I have a Wii U and I still honestly really love it. I never had issues with the gamepad besides the B button being kinda unresponsive. I love this console and I'm gonna be sad when they take the internet off it..

Nathaniel Bandy: *I have thrown these Wii Remotes dozens of times over the years and they still work.* Poofesure: *sweats nervously*

Nathaniel talking about the wii mini: How can you not love this thing? Also Nathaniel: *Ranks it as the worst Nintendo Console*

“Wii” love to watch you.

This is a real story: when I was like 3 years old I used to have a Nintendo Wii and everyday after school I would play New Super Mario Bros Wii with my grandfather. Then it got lost though I found it in a backpack later on in my life, but ever since then I've been using a Wii u.

"This is one of the steadiest Nintendo controllers" 10 year old me: kOnTrOlEr GoEs SpEeEeEn

“You can power your console on and off with the controller. Why can’t the Switch do that?” *Sad holding home button noises*

“I have thrown these remotes on the ground tons of times over the years, and they still work perfectly!!!” Poofesure: Yeah well you don’t get destroyed by Lucia countless times in wii sports resort

All the Wii U ports remind me of how much I loved the system. It was definitely flawed but there was some damn good fun and entertainment to come out of that system.

Okay that ending was clever.

4:51 The switch can do that. Just hold the “Home Button” and press “Sleep Mode” Edit: Didn’t even notice Nathaniel’s pinned comment til now, which does make sense. I never really turn off my switch completely, I always put it on sleep mode. There’s rarely any times where I turn the console off completely

"I have thrown these things on the ground tons of times over the years. And all of them still work perfectly!" Poofesure: *Is that a challenge?*

0:25 that is the greatest shirt of all time

Hello nostalgia, my old friend I've come to talk to you again

I unironically still play my Wii U to this day, over 7 years since I first got it. For me, it will always be my favourite console because of the memories I made with it - Pikmin 3, Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, Nintendo Land are games that I played all the time with my friends. And, of course, a Virtual Console that you could get lost in for hours on end. It all holds a special place in my heart.

Your mom: Turn off the TV , son. Wii:(plays the wii menu) Son: (sleeping)

Nathaniel: why can’t the Switch do that? Switch: *laughs in Sleep Mode*

How the Wii U is mind blowing: the name was so confusing it literally blew up our minds

NB: **uploads this** Fans: ItS tOo LAtE fOr ThaT

Man I wish my wii remote was still alive. RIP 2009-2020

2:05 When you realise the Mii's birthday is 04/20

The disk screen when you’re waiting for a game to read so you can actually open it is completely unnecessary, but at the same time somehow brilliant. When you see the disk drop into the slot on the screen and the title for whatever game you’re playing comes up it just feels so perfect

IMO, the Wii U itself wasn’t necessarily a bad console. It was just handled really poorly by Nintendo. Yeah, the loading sucked, and there wasn’t enough third party support, but it was nowhere near Virtual-Boy-bad. I have a lot of fun memories playing it before I got my Switch.

3:55 “It is one of the most study remotes Nintendo has ever made.” Poofesure would like to have a word with you.

The whole time me Appreciating his shirt

You forgot the fact that this was amazing for families w/ only one TV, because the kid could play the wii U only using the gamepad and the parents could watch TV.

NB: you can plug in your keyboard and type with it ! Me: hold up

The Wii U is a great emulation machine too. This is how I look at it, it's a beefed up Wii that plays Wii U, Wii, Gamecube, N64, Snes, Nes, and gameboy games. I've been using mine recently to play a lot of the gamecube games. It's stupid awesome how much you can do with it.

3:18 I LOVE THAT, I would cut off my ARM just to listen to it

"The Wii remote is incredibly sturdy." While it may be for the most of us, they surely aren't for a certain youtuber out there.

Yeah I loved the fact you could turn the Wii/Wii U on and off just by pressing the power button on the Wii Remote/Gamepad. At least the Switch can be turned on with the Home button, but to turn it off we can only select sleep mode from the home menu. But turning it off fully, I actually have to move to the Switch to turn it off!

Thank you, Nathaniel! I'm now full of nostalgia!

7:30 I remember using WII U Chat once with my friend, we were constantly drawing things on it, good times

I miss the Wii / Wii U era of Nintendo. They felt more like a group of people who loved to create and play video games rather than a company.

I actually used Wii U chat to talk to my friend in the UK until it got discontinued ... F

THAT END TRANSITION WAS SMOOTH ASF

3:16 If i'm not wrong, the Wii and WiiU menu music are actually just very long startup sounds :O

4:03 Gotta love that G FUEL!

Actually, holding the home button on the right Joycon. An turn off the switch

7:46 THAT WAS A SMOOTH TRANSITION

4:53 you can hold the home button for 3 seconds

That intro and the outro tho... Satisfying

But you CAN turn the switch off remotely. Just chuck the controller at it, that'll probably do it.

Nathaniel: The wii remote is super sturdy Plainrock124 and profuser: Let us introduce ourselves

I like how when you say “it’s just a tech demo” you have the most popular Wii Sports sport playing. Plus, it’s so mind blowing how successful this console was and how successful it made Nintendo circa 2009.

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO APPRECIATES THE WII U the wii u is so under appreciated. it gave us so many great games (like the majority of its games are switch games) and it just feels like a console that brings family together. i have so many great memories with the wii u, and i still use it to this day.

4:43 Nathaniel: "Nobody brings up the fact that you can power your console on and off with the controller. That is fricking awesome. Not even the switch can do that. Wait why can't the switch do that?" Me: Flashbacks to my brother rage quitting after losing and turning off the console while I was still playing.

1:36 I need that vibin weegie lol

4:53 Ahh Yes, my Favorite game! The *Wii Balance board* :)

3:19 there's my dose of nostalgia for today

I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the homebrew scene for the Wii

Oh god the nostalgia Will always remember playing on my wii

4:43 Yes you can do this on the Switch. Just press Home a few times on the Joy-Cons or the Pro-Controller and the TV and Switch turns on.

I remember my first Wii U chat call. I tried calling others before, but this was the only time it actually worked. We only drew on the screen to send messages, but when my friend found out I had Super Mario Maker, we actually spoke a bit. The conversation would’ve gone on for possibly hours if I didn’t have to go eat breakfast.

The moment you entered Disc Channel I heard “MarioKart Wii! Woohoo!” in my head.

5:41 Nathaniel: Talking about how it feels good to play Me: Omg its bayonetta 2

Very Clean G-Fuel in backround

The WiiU didn't have a Wii emulator. It literally just the Wii OS, as the WiiU used the same architecture as the wii, just higher clock speeds and more ram. The same goes for Wii playing GameCube games. That's why the system has to reboot when you enter Wii mode.

How to get likes, I mean, be honest: Wii was my childhood console and it’s very nostalgic for me.

1:03 Try not to get unsatisfied

"I can fall asleep to this!" Me as a kid: "Checks out"

Bruh The Nostalgic On The Wii🥺

Us: We want virtual console and Netflix Nintendo: I do not see 🙈

2:10 I prefer the Wii U Mii Maker music over the Wii’s in my humble opinion. Wii U just feels more soothing.

The fact that the Wii and Wii U can play Call of Duty games (CoD 3, World At War, Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition, Black Ops 1, Modern Warfare 3, Black Ops 2 & Ghosts) astonished me so much to have one laying down my collection.

“not even the switch can (power on and off from the controller)” yes it can, you hold down the home button for a few seconds and it can start it or shut it down. why does no one seem to know this?

3:55 - I only know one man who can break it soo easily and his name is poofesure

No one: Literally no one: Nathaniel: How the Wii and Wii U Triggers you

4:07 I screamed when nb set the wii down like that

"One of Nintendo's sturdiest controls" Poofesure says otherwise

Me: The Wii is my favourite console ever! Wii U: *crying in the corner* Also me: I like all of the consoles please don't judge me.

1:10 the music though!

Your outro music is SO GOOD!

Switch is cool, but guys I LOVE my Wii U lmao

Nathaniel intro: * exist * Wii: I CANT HANDLE THA- * dies *

I really love the motion controls ! It feels slightly immersive and so easy to get used to but maybe thats just a me thing.

I love both of these consoles ‘cause they, and I’m not exaggerating when I say this, literally made my childhood. When I was really young, my brother had a Wii and I played that to death. I mostly played Brawl, Sonic Colors, Mario Galaxy, Skyward Sword, and getting stuck in the final dungeon of Twilight Princess. I was about 6 when I got my WiiU, and I played the death out of it, too. Mario 3D world was my favorite, but I also got to play a Virtual Console for Ocarina of Time. So that was fun!

5:04 You mean, "Wiierd"

"I've thrown them on the ground countless times, and all my Wiimotes still work perfectly" _Poofesure has entered the chat_

3:12 I have literally fallen asleep to this

Nathaniel: goes on wii fit balance board. Nathaniels foot: black thing in finger.

Finally someone who understands

3:55 "It is one of Nintendo's sturdiest remotes of all time." Poofesure: So then is it Toad that's making mine break?

The intro and the ending was bad ass!

It's only after using the Switch JoyCons that we can truly appreciate how the analogue sticks on the Wii U Gamepad snapped back to the centre when you released them, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

Credit to nathaniel for finally using more a hat in time music and realizing how the track will fit with anything

The point you made about falling asleep to the wii menu music gave me nostalgia back when I’d leave my wii on while slowly falling asleep and then waking up to it in the morning

I will never forget the days, its saturday morning you finished the school week fire up the week and seeing the Super Paper Mario icon or Smash Bros Brawl icon on the disk channel, selecting them and hearing their tune and seeing the animation before hitting play..... good times

after like 50 years it's here the wii u and wii is mind blowing!

0:48 Oddly enough, I am left handed and played with the Nunchuk in my left hand. It's just easier that way. Ever single game controller in existence has the joystick/d-pad on the left, and buttons on the right. Why change that if it will just cause confusion?

4:09 I love how if he said this with a slightly different tone, it could be in a triggered video.

3:23 memories

"Wii commercials were so Wii-rd" Good one 😂
