      I'm pretty sure Nintendo referenced him on the Mario Movie/SMB Plumbing webpage, it may be a coincidence but there's a testimonial there by "Pipe_Dreamz" that says "amazing looking water courtesy of the brothers"

    Fun Fact: When you left the Wii U idle on the home menu, the music’s tempo would slow/quiet down as well as the floating icons in the background, until you picked up the Gamepad and everything sped back up.

    This isn’t just a hilarious retrospective, but an essential tome of Nintendo history. As a big Wii kid, I feel that deflating sensation as the Wii U’s situation kept worsening. Like after holiday 2012 ended, it turned from a console into a war story.

      @ilururiru I was a PS1 kid who skipped a console generation during high school (the PS3/Wii era). One of my friends in college had a WiiU. We'd play Smash 4, Wonderful 101, 3D World and Rayman Legends in between classes.
      I'll say that the Switch era has made me miss the 3DS/WiiU era, since both consoles had a lot of great legacy content via the Virtual Console, especially compared to what we have now.

    I was largely out of gaming from ~2009-2015. But in 2017, after the Switch was released, I looked for a used WiiU and bought the system and a good number of games from a guy for a good deal. I cannot tell you how much fun I had for like a year. I knew the system was technically a "bust", and I can't comment on what it was like in the years that the WiiU was "the" Nintendo, but after the fact, I can tell you that it's great. Donkey Kong, New Super Mario Bros., Zelda, Mario Maker, Pikmin, Mario Kart, Mario 3D World, and some others I'm forgetting. Anyway, yeah, I know it's a long-gone console and a dark stain in Nintendo history, but...I partially credit it with getting me back into gaming.

From 2013 to 2023 we got a 2D-ish 3D Mario, a 3D-ish 3D Mario, a very short 3D Mario inside of a re-release, two Mario Makers, and a completely new 2D Mario with a brand-new style. That's SO much better than TWO Galaxies, FOUR New Soups, and a "3D" game that felt like New Soup and Galaxy got married in the most mediocre way possible.

    I totally understand all the criticism for the WiiU, I just cant deny the fact that one of my favorite memories ever as a kid that I still think back to was Christmas of 2012. My family never had much money so I honestly didnt expect to have my hands on this console for a year or so until the price dropped a bit. My parents brought out one last gift they hid so I couldnt even guess what it was. And to my surprise it was a wii U, I screamed so loud with joy i hurt my own ears and immediately got to setting it up. That next year I was literally playing it every day every chance I could, and that continued for years. The wiiU was a bit of a disappointment to the nintendo community. But it holds a really special place in my heart.

    My friends, the Wii U holds a very special place in my heart. Late one night while driving my family home I told my wife how much I LOVED the NES and Super Nintendo when I was a kid. I went on and on about the great memories I shared with my dad and cousin playing Mario Bros 3, Mario Kart and Mario World. Well, a week later my wife got me a Wii U and several games. Now, I'm 42 years old and didn't play video games after the SNES. So, when we came back from GameStop with Yoshi's Woolly World, MK8, Nintendo Land, Wii U Party, PLUS Mario Galaxy I and II, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Return to Dream Land, Mario Party 8, 9 and 10, Mario Kart Wii and the New Mario Bros games in early 2017, it just blew my mind!!! I realized I missed out!!! I NEVER realized people disliked the Wii U. To me, this was so special and I still play these great games with my kids and wife. I love the Switch, but whatever the GCN or N64 was for millions of fans the Wii U was for me...I adore Mario Party 10, Mario 3d World and Kirby's Rainbow Curse!! I understand that some were disappointed by the Wii U, but I'm a huge fan boy and you couldn't get me to say a single critical thing about that generation!!! I have a Wii U in my bedroom, living room, and the other three rooms in my house! The Wii U is magical, and allows you to play some of the greatest games of all time! I can play DS, N64, NES, SNES and my entire Wii and Wii U library of games on this one console! Switch owes a lot of it's success to the Wii U ports because they are great games! Now, I have a Switch in each room, a PS5 n PSVR, and a couple of Xbox consoles all thanks to my wife loving me enough to get me a Wii U I didn't even think to ask for...
