The Wii: Underpowered Yet Underrated - Scott The Woz 

The Wii's online blew so hard it could get some old nes cartridges to work again

The Wii undoubtedly had the best menu music out of any system.

The wii wasn’t just a gaming console,it was a cultural phenomenon

We not gonna talk about how scott immediatly flung himself to certain death at 6:00

I really hope this guy explodes in popularity. This man is charismatic, his voice is pleasant, he knows what he's talking about, his "cutaways" are actually funny. This man NEEDS a larger audience.

The Wii in my opinion is one of the best and my most nostalgic console. I still play it to this day.

Why does everyone dog on this console? I think it's a great console despite it's power, and the games were revolutionary. I consider it one of my all time favorite consoles of all time.

true OGs will remember when this video was called "The Wii is Underrated"

RIP Wii Shop channel 2006-2019

Weird thing I noticed: most people i knew had made a Hitler Mii in their Mii channel.

2:46 "the Wii came with an sd card slot..." Ah yes, the hacking slot. My favorite slot of all the slots

How the hell was Scotts voice deeper compared to now?

As much as I can rag on the Wii, this was one of my first game consoles, and I have so many fond memories of playing it with my sister and completing dumb shovelware games. Also, dangling around the Miis on the Mii Channel took up about 80% of my play time. The Wii really paved the way for Nintendo's future as well as other features like avatars and such, and I'm sad to see it overlooked so often.

GOSH THAT INTRO IS INSANE.

I’m convinced Scott is from the future. He predicted super mario 3d all stars and the love of skyward sword

9:57 Zelda BOTW: I'm about to end this mans whole career.

I still play Wii to this day .-.

We're not even talking about the true capabilities of this bad boy with the Homebrew Channel.

“skyward sword will be considered the best zelda game in a few years” didnt age well lmao

He might have predicted the future with skyward sword

You know what else is underrated? Your channel.

I remember playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii on it. It's still a very good console and was very fun to play on.

You forgot the greatest game on the wii: lego starwars the complete saga

9:58 so true, the sales of SSHD will speak for itself

"In five years, people will consider it the best Zelda game" Jokes on you, it's only 2018 and fans are already asking for a remake.

i absolutely lost my shit on the intro lmaooooo

Finally beat skyward sword yesterday actually and it was AWESOME! overall I feel the controls performed well but there were definitely a couple boss battles where it just felt like there was far too much going on too fast. No regrets on beating the game though it is a blast!

5:03 TURN UP THAT SKYLOFT MUSIC, DO IT NOW!

My friends still play Mario Kart wii on weekends. Still just a good console to easily play together.

The wii was my first Nintendo console and I loved it!!! So much fun playing wii sports resort during the holidays

I cried the day my parents suprised me with a wii on a random day

Last story Pandora's tower Xenoblade chronicle Red steel 2 Mario galaxy TOZ TP Mad world No more heroes 1&2 Dead space Metroid prime These are some of my favorites Wii games . It's a great console , too many memories

If we're talking underrated gems on the Wii, y'all really gotta play Little King's Story, by far my favorite Wii game, didn't use motion controls, and an absolute joy to play. And no, the PSP/PC ports do not count, they should be erased from existence.

I bought a used Wii in 2019, my first console since the N64 and i love it.

1:55 There's Crunchyroll on the Wii! I need this!

11:22 Just re-watching this, must of missed this the first time around, but thanks for acknowledging Klonoa. It's nice to have a big RU-vidr like you call attention to the franchise, even if it is just mentioning the game's existence. You probably already know, but if you don't, that's a remake of the franchise's first game, Klonoa: Door to Phantomile for the PS1.

And even though the wii had a low graphics card mario galaxy is still stunning

4:24 for some reason, I never had a problem with brawl, wether it be the wifi, or the slow engine, maybe it's just me.

I actually agree with this video. The Wii isn’t a “hardcore” gaming console, but that doesn’t mean its bad. It still has a lot of fun games and features.

1:16 I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who lost the Gamecube Controller port's lid-

7:22 i love the dk country returns music. Brings me back to a simpler time

I just came back here to say my Wii is black and it's a first model and I'm not an alien

I love it with every fiber of my being.

This is my most favorite console. I grew up with the Wii. Mario Kart Wii, NSMBW, Wii Sports, Play, Party, and much much more is what was my life back then. Still have it and love it. I love the Wii. It was underrated. It deserves more love than it has.

0:02 don’t worry Scott. The remote was broken before you threw it at the tv.

Wow RU-vid actually recommended a good channel? Love your vids bro.

2017 Scott: Super Mario 25th anniversary was lazy 2020 Nintendo: Let’s be more lazy!!!

The wii slaps so much, DKC Return, Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Red Steel (Wonky but fun gameplay), and many others that brought my childhood cherished memories

The Wii somewhat defined what Nintendo has become today; one of my favorite Nintendo consoles

The Wii is still my favorite

12:11 Holy Arceus. That logo animation was so nostalgic it actually hurt! More than that time I was making ramen for the first time and accidentally poured the entire pitcher of boiling hot water on myself!

2:23 I miss menus like these nowadays.

the photos channel just gives me so much 2009-2010 goodness, such a good time in my life

I’m going to be real honest, I spent a lot of my childhood playing Chicken Shot. I need help.

I still remember watching my dad playing DK Country Returns back when I was younger. One of my two older sisters played Battle for Bikini Bottom, and I played Wii Fit+, Wii Play, Wii Sports, and a used copy of Mario Kart.

Scott I'll defend brawl with you I've been playing it since I was 2

But... But... Super Paper Mario....

You play Donkey Kong Country Returns with the nunchuck? You disgust me. Subbed.

Scott: watch in 5 years people will be praising this game 2021: Skyward Sword HD announced and liked by fans

One of my favorite things about the Wiimote is its speaker and how it was used in some games, it could make surprisingly clear sounding audio, be it sound effects or voices, sure it wasn't ground breaking stuff for most games, but in my opinion it helped enhance the gameplay for at least some games, like LiT and Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident, where you can hear another character talking to you through the Wiimote, giving you more info on what's going on and even some hints. (I'm only listing those two games cause those are the only ones I've played that do that with the Wiimote that stand out to me)

Before this video started an ad popped up with MatPat from Game Theory. So, I watched an underrated RU-vidr with an ad from an overrated RU-vidr.

You get a like just for mentioning "Tatsunoko vs. Capcom." A Rare Gem of the Wii and incredibly fun to play.

I can’t believe he didn’t mention using a GameCube controller during the controller option part

"One of the nicest designed consoles out there" **holds shut the broken flap that breaks on every wii** 1:04

The wii was my first game console

(Wii gets 100 million sells) "The Wii is underrated."

5 years later and While it's pretty loved, and appreciated, and we got a remake!... Yeah, still not considered one of the best. But just like it's system, underrated but fun.

No one: The IPhone is better than the Old Nokia 3310 Me: 0:02

Really enjoyed the video as it was really well thought out. Keep up the good work!

You're exactly right. Brawl, Galaxy, Galaxy 2, all of the New Play Control games, last good mainstream Mario Party, the best selling Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country Returns... feel free to add more below.

11:30 Ds:oh and you forgotten me * Mario and sonic winter games *

The wii was what made me switch to Nintendo and I haven’t looked back ever since

*Two* Super Galaxy games on a single console, Metroid Prime 3, Brawl, Super Paper Mario, Sonic Colors, Muramasa, MK Wii, Kirby Epic Yarn/Return to Dream Land, WarioWare: Smooth Moves... The Wii gave me some great memories!

The channels that used WiiConnect24 are being supported by RiiConnect24 and the online games that used Nintendo WiFi Connection are being supported by Wiimmfi.

god man i remember having an old sd card in my wii that had all of our vacation photos on it and the option to change the orientation of videos in the photo channel actually made my dad get emotional because he could never figure out how to do it on the computer. those are some good memories

Wow. These videos are so informative. Can’t believe I just got my first Wii console at age 47. I also can’t believe that I actually did an internship at electronic arts, but that was definitely a few years before the Wii came out!

My favourite Wii game was Goldeneye. I got so many hours in that game in the online mode.

You covered the Wii almost ten years to the DAY I got my own Wii: October 23, 2007

The Wii and DS are literally my entire childhood

Scott was right on the money with skyward sword lmao. Everyone LOVES that game now

ExciteTruck is the most underrated racer, pretty much period. Only one I enjoy more is Burnout 3, and both are still fantastic to this day.

Geez, I didn't know that Tom Holland had a clone.

I've so many great memories with this. Still my favourite console today.

I actually really love how the Wiimote and nunchuck combo allowed you to rest your arms by your sides when playing games as opposed to keeping them right together with a standard controller. I really want to be able to go back and enjoy Wii games, but I just CANNOT stand that pointing and waggling is necessary. It was cool back then, but now it's just irritating. I don't have a good enough PC to emulate the Wii either. I really wish there was a way to emulate a Wiimote and nunchuck with a GameCube or USB controller on the Wii itself. There is so much in the way of Homebrew for the Wii, but it seems this sort of thing may not be possible.

I will defend Skyward Sword till the end. Also, I think Metroid Other M had great gameplay. And Brawl is one of the most polished games of all time. Fight me. (But don't really.)

Thanks for uploading I’ve been binge watching the shit out of your videos since the other day

Bro I lobe your intros I heard it multiple times because I watch almost every video of yours

How is one of the most selling consoles ever underrated?

If you didn’t have the homebrew channel then you didn’t experience the wii properly

My other comment aside, Netflix I felt had the better user interface upon it's release on the Wii. It just felt natural using the Wii remote to select, pause, rewind, and fast forward compared to the Xbox 360/PS3.

I just bought a Wii today! I used to have one way back, but it broke a long while ago. I love how the Wii is coming back through youtube creators such as Poofesure and NicroVeda. Can't wait to play some Wii Sports Resort, and try to get all the stamps!

I never grew up with Nintendo but Wii was actually a revolutionary for its time and Twilight Princess as a launch title,that's sick

I like how all of the music in this video (aside from the standard closing song) are all from wii games. That's a nice touch.

I fucking love the Wii. I wish I still had mine. So many great 1st party games, and a ton of hidden gems as well. It's kinda ironic that one of the best selling consoles of all time is one of the most hated and underrated. But the Wii is one console I will always defend to the death. Same with the GameCube.

I really loved the Wii. I remember having fun playing different games on it as well as enjoying GameCube games. Sonic and the Secret Rings was my first game for it and I had really loved it.

Even though the Wii was two GameCubes ducket taped together, man oh man it’s an incredible damn system. So many amazing games by far one of my favorite systems of all time. The Sonic titles, Metroid, the top tier Metroid games, bringing back old franchises like Punch Out and Sin and Punishment. Even though it was a causal centric system damn was it fun. A big part of my childhood and couldn’t be more happy about that

I will never understand people who say the Wii U has a better library than the Wii, especially since Nintendo at least cared about the quality of their games during this era instead of slapping Mario on the box and calling it a day.

I still play Wii Sports consistently with friends to this day! It’s crazy to think a game from 2006 is still played regularly today by me and so many other people!

I love how compact it is. I was able to fit it and a weeks worth of clothes into my backpack when I flew back home from college over a break

2 years ago today he made a serious video Now this is an anniversary worth celebrating *Bunnies*
