The Console That Revolutionized Gaming Until It Didn't 

I love and miss Reggie.

6:15 Reggie needs to see this XD

That "both of you" joke is pure genius. Reggie was too good.

I feel like Alax is in his rerun season. Sonic Mario Shrek Nintendo console. (Repeat)

Ahhh yes the Nintendo Wii. That one console every school, old person home, and every family member had and still has for some reason.

"Thanks Guys, Nice Job Bill, you didn't Die this time" Jesus Christ that guy can just kill everyone without a sweat

As someone who wasn't really into gaming up until the wii, it's focus on "nongamers" is what got my family to get it and it's why I play a lot of games today.

Back when the entire world thought motion controls were the future of gaming ......until it wasn't.

Probably my fondest memory was having my 80 year old Nonna (Grandma in Italian) play bowling with me and my family! Honestly this women had never played a game in her life but THIS was her favourite! :’)

Ah yes the Wii, my first console. The peak of humanity. And you can’t argue with that because it’s the objective truth.

For anyone interested the video alax was watching in the intro is called: two of them

The Wii's home menu is quite literally the best home menu for a console.

As a kid, I really liked the "Wii would like to play" commercials, and they're still a favorite.

I was drinking and then I heard " Reggie is gonna bash my legs in with a wii mode" and fucking died while choking

Wii resort though. Thats where it was at. Cutting people down with laser swords was just. Perfection

I miss Reggie so much. He was a unit. He was a transcendent being of unfathomable power and charisma. His body was ready

Fun fact: If you set all 4 players as cpu’s in tennis, you get to watch a free match

“We will transmit that reality, team is just an impression”

The best thing about the Wii is that it’s so easily available even to this day. It’s a great option for those who can’t find a GameCube but want to experience those games. Or those of you who like me, sold your GameCube that you had since childhood as a teen to buy other game consoles and passed up every single GameCube you found at a thrift store or used game store because you didn’t know better.

"The Console that Revolutionized Gaming Until It Didn't" Every Tilt-Controls, Ring Fit, and motion-ARMS player just be the Tom-Reading-Newspaper just now.

The worst part about his retelling of the DS reveal is that I had to look up if it was correct or not

Reggie hit an anime protagonist level of power in this video.

Why didn’t you talk about the virtual console?? Being able to play and own NES, SNES, & N64 games and is backwards compatible with Gamecube games were the best things about having a Wii

The most effective use of Wii motion controls.... Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney on Wii. (You can point..with the thingy.)

The Mii Maker Theme burned itself into my brain.

The Wii was a monument for all of us 2010s kids.

I'm 22 and I still remember when I was 6 playing flash games off of a floppy disk.

The wii was awesome, but the amount of shovelware wasn’t

I’m greatly disappointed you didn’t talk about LEGO Star Wars.

I've had so many good memories with that console.

Looking Cool, Alax

The wii was great tho. Only the greats remember the revolution that was MK Wii

That extra space in the title scares me

Speqking of the Wii, you people should play Rhythm Heaven Fever it's truly an underrated Wii masterpiece

0:31 I'd say both gamecube and ps2 were tied for coolest option.

This video is just an excuse to make reggie edits and I'm not complaining.

For a second there, I thought you meant the Wii U. I’m still a fan of it, yes.

The Wii's motion controls never really caught me. That hype you describe was for some reason never there for me. But you can bet your soul on the fact that I still got one as soon as New Soup Wii came out in 2009.

The clips of you with the failed put golf audio is just gold sir. Good on you. Good show.

Only true ogs remember getting hurt by the wii nunchucks in some type of way

The Wii actually had some things in common with the Atari 2600: -People bought it because it was trendy -People that didn't play videogames bought it -Once time passed people forgot they even had one However, they also changed the landscape in the long run.

Matt release me from this prison

Loving the presentation of this video! Keep it up!

My dad new someone who got their hands on a couple of Wii’s when it came out and we still play bowling to this day

With no numbers or research to back this claim, I'd say the Wii still brought a lot of casuals that were eventually swallowed by the mobile market

He has a charming way of telling things

The way you stylize your videos now is so aesthetically pleasing Alax. Keep that content tube pumpin!

One of your best videos yet, the jokes and editing were really on point, plus your experiences are always super relatable

Even if the "Wii would like to play" commercials we're misleading, they're still iconic AF

Alax when he accidentally puts an extra space in the title:

love your stuff alax keep it up

Honestly, I think the glue holding together the wii, and the wii era of Nintendo (Wii, WiiU, 3dS, and maybe DS depending who you ask) was the sheer charm oozing out of everything. Every single menu option popping with a satisfying sound effect, every little theme and embelishment no matter how deep into the games and system you went, just mii's in general, and those little gimmicks that, while not as revolutionary as nintendo hoped, packed a serious punch in the hands of the right developer and game.

There's 2 spaces after the word "console" in the title

I JUST REALIZED RELAX ALAX'S LOGO AND INTRO GOT OVERSIMPLIFIED NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

through our childhood we went from non back illuminated, AA battery powered handhelds with no color or minimal color, to color, resistive touch screens with styluses, rechargeable batteries, cartridges to disks to larger disks to cartridges again, motion control, physical buttons, capacitive screens, that stretch from like the gameboy to the smartphone, and like, immediately it was all flat glass screens and back to mouse and keyboard for everyone of the following generations. the wouldn’t ever understand the struggle, and with arcades dying almost everywhere i feel like gaming truly lost something back then when people cared to try new stuff…

Naming it the Wii was a stroke of genius tbh. Commercials: "Wii would like to play' Consumers: Making puns. Can't get more memorable then puns

"The NES changed the game. GameBoy changed the game. Donkey Kong Country"

Anyone born between 1996 and 2006 has a really weird relationship with other generations lol

These vids feel like when I went to the theatres - excited awed and always wanting more ! Your the best Alax!

I think the longterm effects of what the Wii started aren't really going to be felt by the masses until another 10 years. Cause something that wasn't mentioned in this video is that modern day VR basically utilizes what are more advanced versions of Wii motion controls, and they work INCREDIBLY well. It's hard to imagine a future where VR can really work without it. Granted, VR is currently in a stage where people who don't have it are often skeptical of it (and there are still some challenges and limitations it has to overcome), but there's definitely a lot of potential and I don't think we'd be where we are now without the Wii.

"Gamecube, PS2, or Xbox?' Definitely Gamecube. Hundred percent.

I'd say it was around this point in history when the console industry started down the road that we're on today: Sony and Microsoft at each other's throats, and Nintendo just off to the side doing whatever it wants.

I really liked the intro nice work!

the nostalgia this video is giving me is giving me these butterflies in my stomach, i cant explain it, this video is beautiful, very cool RelaxAlax

Ah yes the famous console known by many aliases, such as, scalpers first console

"Tastes like an entire mortgage" made me die lol

one of my favorite relax alax vids of all time

I never thought I’d have strong nostalgia trip with an Alax video. *I’d like more please!*

Dude, if your usual style of video editing _in general_ wasn't enough, you absolutely- _Foul Ball_ _Foul Ball_ _Foul Ball_ _Foul Ball_ _Foul Ball_ _Out_ _Foul Ball_ -knocked it out of the park with the Reggie edits. Those were *_awesome._*

This is where lives started people.

I love your intros and editing

Ayyyyy! New Relaxalax vid!

Me seeing the title. Please dont ruin this part of my childhood. *continues ro watch video*.

When the Reggie shitposting happened I lost it 😂

man, that intro tho! good job alax!

I love how the background around the will looks like the void from SB-129

Imagine what Nintendo could have done if it invested a little more money in its console and sold us a power similar to PS360 but with Wiimotes.

6:20 sometimes i think alax has a little too much fun editing videos

There's one part of the Wii's legacy you forgot to mention: VR. That seems to be continuing in the Wii's ideas.

I used to love this channel the I forgot and now I have found it again. I am loving it. Hope you and your cat is doing well. And happy to see cat is still a big part of the channel.

I guess you could say *Wii* all liked this console. I’m sorry.

Actually, motion controls in Splatoon are way better than the stick controls. The only reason the Wii's motion controls had a bad reputation was because it was a new technology, and because they were used in too many games. When used in the right games, motion controls can actually be revolutionary, and Splatoon is the best example.

Reg: Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya? Reggie: How tough am I? I got first place in Mario Kart Wii's Rainbow Road. Reg: Yeah, so? Reggie: *Without falling off.*

This video was pure nostalgia pumped into my veins I loved it thank you.

I'm really disappointed about the fact that we hadn't had an edit of good ol' Reggie spanking some poor soul with his wii remote...tz tz tz such a missed opportunity.

I always love seeing how Alax makes edits of Reggie. It's so fun.

I remember getting my Wii. Some of my friends had it and I couldn't wait till I got one. I have so many fond memories playing my first game ever Kirby's Return to Dreamland, messing around in Mario Kart Wii. Running through the Subspace in Brawl and playing with my Miis and wrecking my sister in Wii Sports. Magical times.

This way more entertaining than it needs to be. Thanks.

I never did think I'd feel nostalgic for the Wii, but here we are. I used to think it was "lame" when I was a kid, but now I miss it and all the times I'd play it round my best friend's house after school.

Hey Alax, it's good to see you back into the swing of things ^^ Hope you're doing well!

Lovely animation

15:04 “They crumble apart like those Nature Valley bars” *Relatable*

I loved the editing on this one. The reggie tangent made me laugh pretty hard

who want alax to talk about miitopia for the switch when it comes out

I like how a ganon f smashes synced with layer cake

the Mii Channel, Wii Sports and Mario Kart Wii were pivotal to my development fr though i seriously bonded a ton with my scout friends playing on my uncle's Wii and i will never forget those times

i grew up using the save icon but the actual physical thing, too.

Being reminded of the vitual console makes me wanna cry...

Fucking goddammit I was thinking about the "two of them" video earlier today now you've ingrained it in my mind once more

Love the fact that I can relate to alax in most of his especially when he mentions stuff from the past like Walkman and CD players
