Playing DVDs on a Wii in 2025 

Update: To those asking: Why 2025? This video is just a *joke skit* about what would happen if you’d play DVD’s on your Wii in the future (Yes, this video will age like milk) While I have no idea how this video is doing so well, thank you all for 60K+ views!

You 're an absolute chad for using a Thomas dvd. Especially one with the models.

comedic timing was perfect, 10/10 vid

You got my attention with that Thomas dvd. Also the Wii fact

*you just earned a subscription for that ending/punchline alone.*

It's one thing to go after someone for unethical use of your characters in their works. It's another to go after someone for using a modded discontinued console to watch DVDs of their favorite show.

he jumped in time to 2025

0:55 "Apology to Nintendo of America for violating"

PLEASE NOTE: If you want to do this, your Wii must be a early launch model, any model after launch (Black wiis + new white wiis, Wii family edition, wii mini and Wii U.) will not work.

*30 minutes of wii modding" Finally now i can watch my childhood film CARS wait why there are ninjas outside the door?

"and if there's a way, heavy consequences will be met" nintendo is fully aware of how much the homebrew community has done to the wii and they don't seem happy for it 😂

Well bust my buffers. You are causing confusion and delay.

This guy is underrated. He’s funny

I reckon a few Thomas fans might have had their attention grabbed by that DVD. I know I was, otherwise I wouldn’t have posted this comment. 😂 Edit: Jesus how did my comment explode

I was not expecting that💀

Dude, with Chet’s gift card he’s getting Thomas and friends the greatest stories dvd

OMG THE WII IS GOING TO PLAY THOMAS AND FRIENDS TO YOU

Bros living in the future💀

_slowly lies down on back, then starts doing that weird sit-up kinda thing but the legs come up too_ Futuuuuuuuure...!

0:36 lights really fit the music

I will mention that it isn't recommended to do this because the disc drive wasn't designed with this in mind, and it will make it wear out a lot faster. It's also only possible on disc drives made before 2008.

Amazing video

0:02 i see you use vms there...

It’s 2024 and my Wii still works as normal no crashes or corruptions

Easly pleased with the disk choice

You need to buy a Wii that plays DVDs then you will be happy

I thought this was a video about Thomas, until I read the title…

Oh my god Thomas and friends is on the wii!

All you had to do was catch the train CJ. Fuck sorry wrong franchise🤣

Thomas and friends greatest stories is a true hood classic

Bro predicted the yuzu and citra thing

Gotta love Thomas The Tank Engine! It was one of my childhood favorites as a kid. 😍 But, gotta admit, the show did start to go downhill when they stopped using scale models.

Him using a thomas dvd is an absolute dw

bro from the future

naw this video will catch nintendo too💀

Nice video

I remember watching that same exact dvd when I was 4 at my grandmas house

bro chill with that dvd insertion 😭😭

Bouta do this so I can watch my TTTE Christmas DVD TMR

yes i can finally play harry potter on my wii!!! wait why is a man with a wii zappper outside my door?

NOW THAT DVD GRABBED MY ATTENTION ALRIGHT!

one time, i put the Polar Express in my Wii by mistake. 🤣

He a time traveler

Ese sonido de la wii cuando la prendes me da memorias :(

0:15, well its time to speedrun modding a wii.

Thomas the Tank Engine was my childhood so you persuaded me with that thumbnail 👍

I didn't know you could do that. I would try it since my wii is already hacked, but I don't own any dvds

The ending 😂

This is not 2025 when this was uploaded, but he makes it seem funny..

We got Wii disc predictions before G-

I never knew this was ACTUALLY possible for the Wii to do lol I always thought it was a hoax when people told me they can get DVD working on Wii. Gonna have to put this on my Wii now

To be perfectly honest, this is actually probably one of the better uses of the Nintendo. We know I think the console has lost its charm as a console a long time ago and a lot of the good games for this is available on the Nintendo switch and Work better on the switch.

I miss the Wii

My man time traveled

Don't worry about the ningas, they're having just as much fun too

It’s all fun and games until you see “The system files are corrupted”

He's from the future

The DVD's On The Wii Goes Into The Homebrew Channel.

1 year ahead

Funny video, but for anyone trying to replicate this video keep this in mind: The only Wii models that can handle DVD and CD playback are any Wii that has gamecube ports. The Wii Mini, for example, cannot play optical media besides Wii discs. This is because Nintendo didn't want anyone to make copies or use copies of pirated Wii games. If you do try to use a DVD and it doesn't work on your Wii, DONT KEEP TRYING TO PLAY A DVD! Continuing to play optical media on the Wii could damage the disc drive, since traditional optical media is read a lot faster than typical Wii games. In all seriousness, I do wish Nintendo kept the ability to play movies and CD media on the Wii. It's very convenient to use, especially if you're an 90s - 00s guy like me who still has stacks upon stacks of old movies in DVD.

You can actually play DVDs on a Wii via a home brew application, and the best part, you don’t even have to open up your system for it to work!

2025 is a future year

the wii was originally meant too play dvds but that feature went unused it can be reactivated by hacking though

Friendly fire will not be tolerated.

Hey are you using a lenovo flex 14? Thats what I use and ur laptop looks VERY similar to mine. Just curious.

Thomas on the wii

How I LL get my Wii done to play dvd I have homebrew Channel > from there I installed the homebrew browser > and from there I installed the same player as in the video but it did not play the DVD's

It's 2024 yet. 2025 doesn't start until next year.

The end 😂

Thomas & Friends is my serie favorite and i have WII

Homebrew😓 I thought this was gonna be real

0:51 the music💀💀💀

Caught by the Nintendo Ninjas.

DUDE I HAVE WIIMC WHY HAVENT I TRIED THIS YET?!?!?

Bro is in the future

Dvd playback not supported on this wii

How about a streaming movie on the Wii? (Without Nintendo WIFI Connection)

Nintendo is gonna be at your doorstep

Bros time traveling

0:33 I hate that the Wii is set to 4:3 and it’s stretched on that TV

I need to put team Umizoomi DVD on Wii from wiimc

I tried it once, it didn’t break my movie, but it didn’t play it either.

0:54 BRO I TOLD YOU TO CLOSE THE DOOR SO NTHE NINTENDO NINJAS WKNT COME IN

The thumbnail: pikachu on the back💀

I may wanna try this out but I wonder if the Wii is region locked, like if my one is only PAL. There could be a chance it's like an external disc drive where it can play any disc from any region.

2025 in 2022 ?

THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!

Ah yes it is 2025

unless that in the homebrew might include a dvd player

I swear I remember watching DVDs on Wii as a kid. False memory I guess.

Is this a video from the future?!

It's 2026 now

Wii is Upgraded to dvd homebrew Is the wallpaper Turn on blue player The dvds At home?

STILL FAR AWAY!!!

It's snowing in 2025 yet

Doing anything right now on 2025 is amazing 👏

This video is from the future!

This isn't 2025.
