Nintendo Wii U Buying Guide + 16 Best Games! 

It might be fun to follow up this video with THIRD PARTY GAMES for Wii U, like Batman:Arkham City-Armored Edition, Deus Ex Human Revolution: Director's Cut, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, etc. What do you think?

When he chuckled when he said he didn't have anyone to play multiplayer games with. I felt that.

This is one of the best gaming channels on RU-vid. They are not stuck up and are just real people that are passionate about games.

Nice to see the Wii U getting love Been there since 2013, most underrated console since the Dreamcast.

Absolutely love the Wii U! This console was in such high demand in my household, I got a 2nd. I had so many games for it that I decided to go for a full collection.

Metal Jesus Rocks is like a tv show you'd see on public television and I love it

Here a few tip for Wii U collectors: - First print of BotW has kind of a misprint, fixed on the second print. Back of the game show you can use a wii mote to play the game, and this is false. - If I were you I would buy Darksiders Warmastered. One of the last Wii U games, with a lovely "false advertisement" sentence in the back, claiming that the Wii U version runs at 60 fps (and it runs at 30) - If you can find the Russian Special Edition of Darksiders 2, consider yourself lucky. It's a freakin' unicorn. - If you can buy the WindWaker console bundle, buy it. The only wii u special edition console released. - Get yourself a copy of Fatal Frame - Spiderman was removed from the e-shop. Physical price will probably go up. - Fast Racing Neo could be rare, EU only. - Scribblenauts Unmasked was released in the US and Australia, for European collectors (as myself), this is the only not released in Europe that can be played on European consoles. - Germany has a MK8 steelbok, Rayman Legends Steelbook, a Monster Hunter very rare version (with an ugly decal), and a lovely cardboard sleeve with cat mario (3d World) with an actual fluffy belly. - Sonic Lost World normal edition is more rare than the special edition (Deadly Six) - Not an official game, but GAME sold in the UK a box with a download code and some collectibles (poster and pokeballs) for the game Pokemon Rumble U

Can’t believe I just recently discovered your channel. Amazing content. Love the passion and energy you and your co-hosts show for video games. Keep it up!!

The Wii u was the best decision for me buying wise, it plays everything from NES to Wii U which is just amazing. An awesome console for sure!

I love the Wii U! My favorite games are Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition, Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. "Failure" or not, the Wii U was awesome. I hate these console wars.

There's actually a hidden option to turn off hard drive idling. Go into Data Management, hold down on the d-pad, +, and -, and the option to disable hard drive sleep will show up. Works wonders and lets you use flash drives as external memory.

I really love your channel. The guests you have on create some good variety in opinions, as well as personality. And, most importantly, this show is 100% sincere. Keep on doing what you're doing, it's great!

Just bought a Wii U tonight! Can't wait!

Zombi U utilised the game pad in such a terrifying way. But it was good fun to watch someone else play!

I just now got my Wii U (Wind Waker 32gb) w/ Smash, Splatoon, Shovel Knight, 3D World, Mario Maker, Nintendoland, and Tropical Freeze for only 70 bucks!

Still play Wii U daily in late 2019. Awesome awesome system.

I appreciate the conversational approach to this video. I feel like I’m eavesdropping on a discussion between friends as opposed to being told that I’m a noob and I need to listen to the “experts”. I’m learning and adding items to my wish list without being beaten over the head with content. Thanks!

I'm a grown man and I LOVE my Wii U. Got it from my wife and kids 2015 Christmas. I don't have all the games I want for it yet, but I have most of them. My 2 favorites are Zelda BOTW and Super Mario Maker!!

Thanks to Kelsey for helping me with this video. You ROCK! :)

This is my 3rd time visiting this video. Still building up my Wii U collection here and there since 2016! Love your reviews :)

I honestly like this channel so much like im not even getting a wii u and watched the whole video lol

Thank you guys for showing some love to the WiiU, I made the decision to buy a WiiU when the Switch came out because I never got around to trying it before and I have been insanely impressed by nearly every game on the system, soooo many great games I'm going to be enjoying that library and the Wii Library for years to come!

The Wii U is the most underrated console in the world. It's only a bit worse than the Switch in most ways and is better than the PS4/Xbox One in many ways. It is backward-compatible with the entire library of 1,500 Wii games, has 750 of its own games, giving it 2,200 games in total, with 41 exclusives (Switch only has 35). It has free internet, Netflix, and online play. It has countless controllers. It's cheap to buy for. The new battery pack can make it last 8 hours (nearly twice that of the Switch). It also has better exclusives, such as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, and Super Mario 3D World. It also has a good library of games itself, such as: 007 Legends Alice in Wonderland The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Assassin's Creed 3 Assassin's Creed 4 Batman: Arkham City Batman: Arkham Orings Bayonetta Bayonetta 2 Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Call of Duty Ghosts Edge Guitar Hero Live The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild The Cave LEGO Batman 2 LEGO Batman 3 LEGO Jurassic World LEGO Marvel Super Heroes LEGO Marvel's Avengers LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens LEGO The Hobbit Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Mario Kart 8 Mass Effect 3 Mario VS Donkey Kong New Super Luigi U New Super Mario Brothers U Nintendo Land Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures The Pinball Arcade Pokemon Rumble U Resident Evil: Revelations Super Mario Maker Super Smash Brothers Splinter Cell Blacklist Sonic Lost World Transformers The Walking Dead Watch Dogs Wii Sports Club

Thank you, Kelsi and your team for your videos. I really enjoy them. The best is that you guys are being yourselves.

Bought my wiiU from a buddy for a great price because his family thought it was lame. I have three kids younger in years and my 4 and 7 year old LOVE their system. Mario kart, super smash, Mario land, paper Mario, Donkey Kong, Super Mario maker. Hands down one of my favorite systems ever and it will be a mainstay in my family for years to come. Now if they would just drop the prices a little more on the rest of the must have titles...I like the quote just because it's a failed system does not make it a bad system. Diamond in the rough.

I played Breath of the Wild for 3 weeks straight every day with my pro controller and it didn't die. I play ANY ps4 game for too long and I have to charge my controller sometimes the same day.

Proud owner of Wii U. Finish Zelda botw using it. Too bad they drop the map in the screen. Glad they ported most of the amazing game to switch.

I love it that through 2017, even though i'm just now watching this video in 2019, that there are these videos still talking about systems that are getting passe. Plus, you two always give us all of the information that we need to know. Thumbs Up

I have Never played Wii U. But I think now is the perfect time to pick one up. Its good knowing that the Wii U is done. Now I can look at the whole collection of games and Start picking them up.

Glad to see he finally came around, he was so against a Wii U about 7-8 months ago. It is a great system

YOU GUYS! This is awesome!!!!! Thank you! I’m going to go out and get this today!!!!!! Also, I LOVE her crocnana shirt 👊🏽 So much good info here. Props 🙏🏽🙌🏽

The best thing about the Wii U is the fact you don’t have to use the tv screen to play. My son will be playing WiiU while I’m playing PS3 at the same time.

You guys did a REALLY great job on this video! It's just what I needed! I just bought the Nintendo Wii U and this video answered all of the questions and information that I wanted to know! You guys are awesome! Great job!

I loved this video! I don't have a Switch yet and have been playing my Wii U since 2013 and I absolutely love it! And you guys couldn't be more right about the Pro Controller! It really does last for 80 hours! It's crazy!

Man I love you, you're just living life, doing your own thing, and being yourself, I respect that so much

When they announced the Switch, i bought a Wii U. I still haven't got a Switch to this day. In fact am digging more and more about my Wii U.

i always remember she is standing on a box now LMAO 😂😂😂

Kelsea and MJ, I have 1TB hooked up to my WiiU. Just wanted to confirm that it can support at least this much. Thanks for the video!

I have seen you on the Internet for yours video and I'm getting a wii U tommorrow so thanks for the Guide. And a great upload and channel. Congrats

I bought my first Wii u last month and got some games good already and enjoying every moment

Metal Jesus always great content ty so much and add Kelsey to it freaking pure gold!

wii u is one to collect now before the prices go up

Would love too see a followup to this for 2020 considering the sheer number of ports that have happened

I have had a Wii U since launch, but your video helped me find some new games I should try.

I'm already excited to watch this, considering that even as a Wii U fan, I didn't think there were as many as 16 games worth getting, lol.

Still playing the Wii U ~December 20 , 2018

The two bounce off really well with each other. One of my favourite channels right now.

One game I've got in my collection is Runbow, which was developed with the WiiU in mind because it could support up to 9 players (straight from the developers mouth). There is a Switch port now, but still good for collecting purposes.

Since i don't have the money for the switch I decided to just focus on getting games for my wiiU

I love my Wii U. I use it more for Wii games these days. But I still own all my U games too. It's amazing!

BRILLIANT VIDEO GUYS. Learnt a lot. A lot of videos on RU-vid are style over substance but your video contained lots of relevant and interesting information. Thanks

No Metroid Prime for the Wii U is one of the biggest fails. The gamepad basically is the scanner.

Just love Kelsey's enthusiastic personality

I got my Wii U this morning :D

just got one for my collection, pretty rare to find one in nice condition down here, love your videos dude! love from argentina

Just stumbled across this video now. Have been watching ya metal Jesus for a long time now. But I loved the Wii U. Love my switch as well. But loved how they transferred your paid vc games over. (Except for a couple) but loved so many games on it. I’ll say yoshi games are easy to beat, but to complete them is hard sometimes. And this made me fall in love with a platoon. Even going as far as to buy the books. Just waiting for a new earthbound experience to come out still. Love you all have a good day. Tell someone you love them, bye!!!

The Wii U is my all time favorite platform. I bought it when it came out. My prior platform was the NES. It plays games both old school and new games. I love it.

Breath of the Wild was designed for the Wii U. They held it off to sell the Switches

Love the video ! Pikmin multiplayer is so underrated must play . Also captain toad was one of my favs it’s so unique I really enjoyed it . Agree with all the picks

I love any videos with you and Kelsey

AHHH YESSSS! Been waiting in this one!!

I recommend Runbow for WiiU. It's a platformer/party game which supports up to 9 player simultaneous.

Great Review. Caught some insights here I didn't see anywhere else. If I could offer any suggestion, it would be more cuts to keep things visually appealing. Like John Stewart switching to camera 3 every now and then. Otherwise, love the review. Imma def check out more.

To this day, the Wii U remains one of my favorite consoles. I had great memories with it and still enjoy it to this day.

Is it me or has the box got bigger?

Bruh. Of course BotW is gonna be expensive for Wii U later. Twilight Princess for GameCube is already three times what the Wii version is preowned. Sealed is insane.

I just ordered Mario 3d world, Splantoon, and Rayman Legend!sooooo excited to try them! I’ve had the wii U FOR AGES but only had like 4 games.. Thanks guys!!

Its weird rewatching this. I remember playing watchdogs on the wii u and it was so good! I love that it upscales wii games! It can be home-brewed to play dvds & gamecube games! If the game pad wasnt mandatory half the time it would have done better. Also the naming. The wii u reminds me of the dreamcast alot. It was overpowered above the 7th gen consoles but not as powerful as the 8th gen consoles that came out right after it.

One thing to mention is Wii games that use the dance pad controller such as DDR use the gamecube controller port. There are adapters that let you connect it to the Wiimote so you can play them on Wii U, but it's not always 100% responsive. i found this out after I sold my original Wii lol

I have the original white WiiU that only has 8g of space. It has so many extra ports for external storage even more than I on my computer. I've been using the cheapest thumbsticks for storage for years now & never had a problem. I've even pulled it out while the WiiU was on. I have tons of games on it and not one corrupted file. The risk is minimal. There's with everything. Even physical. In fact I have a physical game that won't play due to a tiny little scratch that you can barely see.

Just got a Wii U today with Twilight Princess, Shantai and New Super Mario Bros Wii. looking forward to collecting for the Wii OG and the U. Super Mario 3D World is actually in the mail now and I'm pretty excited :D

Awsome reviews guys. Love my Wii U. Also love the your streams, takes me back to the days of Xplay on G4 lol. Miss those shows.

I have mixed feeling on the Wii U. Beautiful graphics, particularly Zelda which is one of the most gorgeous games I’ve seen. I also love the WiiU Pro controller, which I would say is the best controller for Retro Pie, as there are so many options when going between different consoles on the Raspberry Pi. I also like how it’s backwards compatible and you can download old games through the store. However, really not a fan of the huge screen controller, the interface is a bit irritating and the cd based games don’t last long with kids!

I have been a huge fan for awhile. I just got a Wii U 32gb model from a Garage Sale for $30.00!!!!! Keep up the great videos!

I wish Nintendo would drop the price now it's dead I would definitely buy one . keep up with amazing work Jesus great video and no nonsense reviews every single time.youve kept me busy the last three weeks while I'm of with sciatica.legend

Thanks for the review y'all. Totally helps 👍

Great console, still playing with it to this day. Under my TV is sitting next to the Dreamcast, which was correctly mentioned by metal jesus as a similar console in some ways.

Kelsey is 50% wife material and 50% walking talking game encyclopedia.

Metal jesus your videos are always awesome

This channel has one of the best supporting Casts around. Basically all of The Jesus's guests are pretty rad, knowledgeable and fun. As a Vintage Gamer, I appreciate the diverse perspectives.

I picked up the wii u for one of my sons christmas pressies the 2nd year of its release and didnt play it much at all. We had like 8 games and a few digital download ones, the big nintendo games and even now we have like only 20 games. However what got e playing it was getting a pro controller. Yeah you need the tablet for some games like even in breath of the wild you need to use the tablet controller to tilt in some of the shrines but i use the pro controller for that game too 95% of the time and its a blast. Over half the games mentioned here (the JRPG like or more off center titles we dont have here) we have and yah theyre a lot of fun. My first console was a NES back in 86 when I was 6 and my oldest son was 6 when I got this so I was kinda hoping to share that excitement and love for nintendo and both my boys do love the crap outa the console and so does my missus and myself. It is such an underrated console and far better than people give credit for, its just a shame the proprietary engine and os were so time consuming and difficult to port to, hence why so many developers fell out of making games for the console. The fact that yes it does indeed play wii games is a massive boon and I'm planning on scouring ebay for hidden gems and youtube and websites for suggestions, also buying a bigger SD card and filling it with the classic older console games on the nintendo store while the system is still being supported. I will break this thing down and repair it if it ever breaks as yeah getting a new one is impossible and 2nd hand is a crapshoot and I know this unit has been cared for and loved so yeah, its a keeper. PC Master Race tho ;)

I can''t stop thinking about Kelsey standing on a box!

Great guide thanks for uploading this!

2 years after this video I bought my first Wii U games. Now gonna hunt down a Wii U console. Thanx for the game advice :-)

I just got a used wii u 2 months ago. very nice console.

I just bought my own Wii U and received it yesterday. I'm excited to use it to play all of the older generation Nintendo games I missed while growing up. I just bought Metroid Prime Trilogy, and Mario Kart 8 was pre installed. I intend to purchase the 2D Metroid series, some if the Zelda games, New Super Mario series, and many other miscellaneous games across the generations that I'll find fun to play. Either way, I'm a happy boy.

Thanks for this video. I found it very entertaining.

While I am watching this the drums on this video are double timed to the nintendo eshop theme on my 3ds perfectly synced, AWESOME!

I just bought my Wii u first time ever today.

I got a Wii U just because the ports are so expensive on the switch. for the price of 3 switch ports you can buy a Wii U and by the 3 games you were going to buy plus a couple extra games

I bought a used Wii-U for 120$ two years ago for Super Smash Bros. and Zelda Breath of the Wild, and was not disappointed. I have expanded my library since and it now a Zelda/Metroid machine for me, and I am totally satisfied with my purchase. There is a certain satisfaction I get, when my roommate that has a Switch, wants to borrow my Wii so he can play WindWaker or Twilight Princess in HD.

I just bought a Wii U yesterday on eBay… can’t wait to play it! I had a Wii… until my brother took it. So instead of getting a Wii again I figured he can keep it and I’ll buy a Wii U! Great video!

Just got me a Wii U. Thanks again Metal Jesus, you've done it again. Both Wii's thanks 2 your buying guides.

Should have mentioned Zombi U. Definitely the best use of the gamepad by any game on the system. I loved it. Also I believe the Wii U supports up to 2, 2TB external harddrives. I can't imagine you'd ever need that much space though lol.

Hey metal jesus, now i cant watch your videos withoud remember Joe from gamesack parody of you, and Bob Cornhole LOL so hilarious! great video! RECOMENDATION: Can you make a video about game collecting in other country other than US? trends,prices,most wanted etc Thank you! love your work here!

I bought one in 2014 and never regretted it. So many fun games. Dreamcast and Wii U are still my go-to consoles when friends are over.

I've got a wiiu heading my way in the mail right now. I can't wait.

just bought the Wii U and i love it

Good to see some love for the Wonderful 101

Thank you MetalJesusRocks, you reminded me of how amazing the Wii u really is! :-)
