I Ranked EVERY Nintendo Console Generation... 

No way bro said wii u doesnt have a game library,it made splatoon,mario maker,captain Toad and more.And the switch would suck without the wii u,never let bro cook.

Great video!

It's not about the consoles themselves it's the game library. He says as he lower ranks most handhelds and complains about not being able to play the games on his monitor.

You got to put Xenoblade Chronicles on that list of Wii games. It’s the best rpg on the system with arguably the best soundtrack after Mario Galaxy. In fact all Xenoblade games are fantastic. Xenoblade X defines the Wii U era for me. That game was massive.

14:46 Ori and the blind forest mention 🙏

14:05 Odd you didn't mention Kirby when you had Kirby music and a Kirby clip playing in the background

Out of all Wii U games bro picks lost world 😂

No Colour TV Game series?

Pokémon Black and White was my first step into Pokémon and I would think I got like over 100 hours in Black specifically. Oh and Mario Kart DS as well.

Good video, though I think ignoring the "gimmicks" of a console in ranking consoles is undercutting the console experience itself. If you just wanted to rank games, then you could rank how they perform on emulators and ignore any lag, bad controls, or other issues or benefits that may come from their console experience. For example: Mario Maker 2 is objectively better than Mario Maker 1; however the integration of Miiverse on the Wii U made sharing and finding levels in 1 a seamless process in the game that grew a community scene that in no way could be experienced on the Switch sequel. Additionally, the touch controls being accessible at all times, even when playing on TV, made building and testing levels more user friendly, creating the ideal way to engage with a Mario Maker game. On the flipside, and I hate to say this because it's one of my favorite consoles, the 3DS had many games whose frame rates would collapse when turning on the 3D, the primary gimmick of the console. This meant the gimmick could actively hinder the playing experience for games that weren't properly optimized around it. Then there's also controller issues. The N64 is great, but how many great games have funky control schemes because of the way the controller was designed? How many Wii games had issues once the gyroscope was added in Wii Motion Plus and required pausing games to recalibrate the gyroscope, sometimes multiple times in single play sessions? Or how many times have Switch players had issues because of joycon drift or the shitty d-pad on the pro controllers getting misinputs. There's also input lag issues, stuff like this. I'm not saying you need to critically analyze all of these things, but it feels weird when you say you're just ranking the games and downhit every handheld just for being a handheld, and grade them on just Pokemon because you didn't experience the vast majority of their libraries. Especially the third party exclusives, since handhelds traditionally would be mostly exclusive content since they couldn't play the same games as home consoles pre-Switch. You should check out some of the GBA collections on the Switch like the Megaman Battle Network and Castlevania collections. They were handheld games but many are held in high regard by fans of their respective franchises. Well worth experiencing and reconsidering how you grade those consoles games despite their handheld nature. Besides, most people will emulate those games these days anyhow, so if you're just grading the games, might as well be in the format most people will be playing them these days

SNES, N64, and GameCube are the consoles I grew up playing and my personal top three favorite 🔥🔥

You sound like Matthasnocuts, are you him? Anyways great video!

No mention of Goldeneye for N64? Also I guess I'm just not everyone... I played Twilight Princess on Gamecube and BOTW on Wii U. I skipped the Wii, loved that Wii U was backwards compatible.

Matthasnocuts it’s you. You haven’t uploaded a video in 2 to 3 months what happened. You might not have noticed but sonic x shadow gen is finished and they are moving on to different projects now

Fair enough

Not only is my favorite game not as good as I think but now my favorite console too?! You've gone too far this time...

wii had super paper mario so you’re right

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO THINKS MARIO 3 IS A MASTERPIECE

My rankings: 1switch 2 3ds 3 Wii U 4 Wii 5 GameCube 6 N64 7 snes 8 ds 9 nes 10 game boy

For Wii u because of wiimode you should have at least ranked it higher than Wii because it is cross compatible

Wii U is lowkey the best Nintendo console

Dawg you say Mario and zelda on nes haven’t aged good when earthbound beginnings is the very definition of age

Honestly, Switch is mad overrated. Aside from year 1, it didn't start making decent progress til 2022. Far too many games that were launched incomplete and abandoned after they didn't maintain high sales figures, like all the Mario sports games. Or how they abandoned the Mario Party games and left them out to die when fans were begging for more. Even a lot of their good decisions were hampered by bad decisions. And let's be real, Wii U and GameCube should get equal credit as their successors for their Zelda cross gen games. The GameCube, other than arrow aiming and wide-screen, was the definitive way of playing that game. Wii U may not have quite matched the Switch in resolution, but was otherwise almost equal in performance for BotW. You also can't deny that, early on, a very significant portion of the Switch's library was Wii U ports or remastered "enhanced" editions. I also think it's worth noting that ignoring control gimmicks is problematic with Nintendo consoles cause they directly affect your experience in how you experience their games. Or rather than gimmicks, just straight up the controls. Switch joycons have drift and pro controllers have Nintendo's least accurate d-pad ever. I started playing BotW on Wii U because of all of the misread inputs I got while playing and it's amazing how much time you save not accidentally going into the wrong d-pad menu in a few hours of gaming. It feels like not much of an issue when it happens on Switch, but the time adds up and it worsens the experience. Not to mention performance drops in good games. You can have the best game ever, but if it gets inconsistent frame rates and can't even maintain 30 or 20, and the controls have issues that cause input errors, then it doesn't matter cause the game won't play as well as "the best game ever" should. Switch and N64 lose points for me cause of this. And, I'm sad to say, so does the 3DS, just cause so many games struggle through the teens and 20s fps ranges, especially with 3D on, which was the core gimmick and unfortunately hindered more experiences than it boosted (though I will always use it)

does this guy hate nintendo?

Matthasnocuts?! 😲

Of COURSE the zoomer meat rides the Wii smh

stop making nintendo slop and make a video about littlebigplanet
