Fun fact: I bought the Wii U during the last years of its lifespan (November 2015). I do think this console was a lot of fun to play many fun games like 3D World, MK8, NSMBU, Smash Bros, and Splatoon. Even when the Switch came out, I still played the Wii U before I got the Switch late in its lifespan. I’ll always remember the Wii U no matter who forgets it ✊.
Some of my earliest memories of gaming are on the Wii u. I loved hanging out with my sister and cousins and playing Wii u games together. I still use one to this day
@@j7sportvideo24yea! Sadly no menu music anywhere, not even in the eshop, those nice apps like the miiverse aren’t there. For me the switch really does not have the Nintendo charme
One thing I really love about the Wii U is that combining displays between the Gamepad and the TV-Screen, could provide for the closest illusion to really having a TV-Console version of the Dual-Screen feature! I wish that the Nintendo Switch had that too.
7:50 Bro why did u not mention Mario Maker of all the games that helped it? That was the definitive game of the Wii U and was literally PERFECT for it.
To be honest, I wanted a Wii U when I was younger, but even then, it was obsolete. I can't complain, though, because I have two obsolete consoles as of this year, a Wii and a 3DS (the 3DS went obsolete a few months ago).
Well, the 3DS still has some games online servers up and the Wii has a lot of games with custom servers up, plus Mario Kart Midnight also launched recently for MKWii so I don't know if I would call them truly obsolete as of now
@@arthurgamerpro6585 Because I hadn't started playing video games until the end of the 3DS's lifespan and my parents had a Wii. I did want a Wii U, but it was too late to get one.
The Wii U can be used as a portable Wii. Just find an outlet to plug it in, put the Wii U Gamepad on a stand, use your Wii Remote to point at the Wii U Gamepad, insert a Wii or Wii U game, and voila! You have yourself a portable Wii/Wii U. Just make sure you bring the both Wii U Gamepad and console AC adapters with you.
You actually CAN sync two gamepads still! It’s under a homebrew app but it splits the frame rate between both of them. The proof of concept was for a simple space game but it works. It’s fun for as fun as the simple game was.
10:50. It is NOT "insane" that the far better Switch version of Mario Kart 8 sold six times more copies when the Switch has sold 11 times more units! It's "insane" that it hasn't sold more on Switch.
I'm pretty sure that if the wii u had better marketing at the time, it could've been a successful device it did so much stuff that the other consoles didn't and it did it right
Wouldn't call most of these facts "fun", but although the console was a failure, I had a lot of fun with it. Nintendoland was one of the best games on the console. It's a pitty we propably never see it again on another platform...
Also Smash 4 allowing you to use your Nintendo 3DS as an actual controller was incredible! My 3DS was my go-to controller when me and my brother would play
Looks like the Wii U deserves a big makeover, even with all retro and vintage arcade games with a 1TB SD card option. Not only that, but play all NES, SNES, and N64 games along with their GAME GENIE and ACTION REPLAY game codes as options. Now how difficult is this?
The only reason I didn't like the Wii U is that every time I got a new game, it would take FOREVER to do this update thing, or whatever it was doing, all I know is that it made this annoying sound for nearly an hour before I actually got to play the game. Not sure if it was like this for anyone else. The Wii was much better in my opinion, but the Wii U will always have a special place in my heart.
Wii U is such a good console. I still use till this day for games that arent in the switch yet. I just wish it was able to read my gamecube games. I never liked the wii.
I still can't believe I ever wanted to get this console back when I was a kid while it was still selling. I was mainly interested with the new games that were released such as Super Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3, Super Smash Bros. For Wii U, and (not kidding) Mario Party 10. But as of now, I'm glad I didn't ask my parents to get me this console since they already got me the Wii in 2011 and I still enjoyed the games I played from that old console. Again, I have no idea why I was so interested of getting the Wii U. Maybe I've gone mad and didn't see it clearly 🤦♂️
The wii u would have been so much better if they didnt focus on the controller and gave it a good name thats like the switch being the successor to the wii calling it the Wii pro then only showing the joycons 😑
I wish the Wii U succeeded, it was such a great idea.
Fr
Yeah
Not really, it was lame
So true
The switch is basically Nintendo fixing everything wrong about it.

I got the Switch on Dec ‘19

Ngl, kinda nostalgic for the Wii U era
Hi TetraBit!
I feel the wii u was most ideal for kids in the end. Lots of good multiplayer games for friends.
Honestly, Wii U is popular among kids at the time, just like GameCube
The Wii U had a lot of potential to be good but it flopped. I'm so happy that the Switch has basically everything that the Wii U never had.
The switch is miles better but it’s missing that Nintendo charm that the Wii U and 3ds had 😢
@@j7sportvideo24yea! Sadly no menu music anywhere, not even in the eshop, those nice apps like the miiverse aren’t there. For me the switch really does not have the Nintendo charme
I still play my Wii U sometimes when I feel like it
One thing I really love about the Wii U is that combining displays between the Gamepad and the TV-Screen, could provide for the closest illusion to really having a TV-Console version of the Dual-Screen feature! I wish that the Nintendo Switch had that too.
I think the Wii U is my favorite console I remember wanting one and then I grew up and I finally got one it meant the world to me

why you dont have wii u?
@@arthurgamerpro6585 Because I hadn't started playing video games until the end of the 3DS's lifespan and my parents had a Wii. I did want a Wii U, but it was too late to get one.
I completely forgot that breath of the wild was on the wii u
I always forget until someone brings it up! 😂
The one thing i really liked about the wiiu, was the gamepad, the bulkiness of it really worked with my giant ass hands and was very comfortable
It was surprising light because there was no technical stuff inside
I actually love playing my Wii U. Just got some more games for it. Loving this system.
Nice, the Wii U is my favorite console! I knew some of the facts!
I love the Wii u, it’s still the most console I play the most with family and friends and multiplayer fun games
6:13 SCOOOOOTTTTT

The Wii U was a very good console, I would’ve loved to see more games for it (like more Mario spin-offs and such)! 😁😁😁
In my opinion, the Wii U deserved better
I liked the tablet, it would leave less clutter in the tv screen, and it was super comfy.
I loved the synchronous gameplay
4:37 That second club should be a diamond.
Who can say that "Wii Used the Wii U?"(cue the laughter now 😂🤣)
Wii u is the best console ever and it is my childhood :D
Can you try to beat new super luigi u without touching a block
5:36: Really? Would it have killed you to do some research first to find out what the point of it was? Hint: Wii Fit.
8:53 Nico's words of wisdom
I hope the switch 2 brings back some of what the wii u did, like Nintendo TVii and the social media posting from games like NSMBU
The Wii U has a Incredible Consol not better than the Wii but It had so much games to play it deserve to sell better
The wii u was a legendary console that failed because of bad marketing
The Wii U was my first ever video game console!
I'm pretty sure that if the wii u had better marketing at the time, it could've been a successful device it did so much stuff that the other consoles didn't and it did it right
Wouldn't call most of these facts "fun", but although the console was a failure, I had a lot of fun with it. Nintendoland was one of the best games on the console. It's a pitty we propably never see it again on another platform...
I love the Wii U
Me too
I can’t tell you how many times the Wii U’s Universal TV Remote feature saved me and my aunt’s collective bacons. So sad that feature never came back.
Also Smash 4 allowing you to use your Nintendo 3DS as an actual controller was incredible! My 3DS was my go-to controller when me and my brother would play
Aye nico, I was wondering once I finish my super world if you could try to do it countless because I'm lazy to do it myself lol
Thas happy bday song the wii u sing is one of those small detail nintendo should have put in the nintendo switch
my gamepad broke about 3 years ago and now my Wii U is only used for Rhythm Heaven Fever
the console would have sold better if it had a different name
tbh the best games on wii u were nintendo land, splatoon and pikmin 3 in my opinion
If you have a WiiU keep it, look at how much the turbographix 16 is going for now.
Maybe you could put a SSD into the Wii U to increase storage space and load times.
Looks like the Wii U deserves a big makeover, even with all retro and vintage arcade games with a 1TB SD card option. Not only that, but play all NES, SNES, and N64 games along with their GAME GENIE and ACTION REPLAY game codes as options. Now how difficult is this?
I love the game pad
Can you do a “30 Fun Facts” video about Mario Sunshine please.
The only reason I didn't like the Wii U is that every time I got a new game, it would take FOREVER to do this update thing, or whatever it was doing, all I know is that it made this annoying sound for nearly an hour before I actually got to play the game.

Wii U is such a good console. I still use till this day for games that arent in the switch yet. I just wish it was able to read my gamecube games. I never liked the wii.
Nico and Scott are the guys I go to for video games videos.
I still can't believe I ever wanted to get this console back when I was a kid while it was still selling.
I was mainly interested with the new games that were released such as Super Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3, Super Smash Bros. For Wii U, and (not kidding) Mario Party 10.
But as of now, I'm glad I didn't ask my parents to get me this console since they already got me the Wii in 2011 and I still enjoyed the games I played from that old console.
Again, I have no idea why I was so interested of getting the Wii U. Maybe I've gone mad and didn't see it clearly 🤦♂️
And also all the Wii U games that were worth a damn are now on the switch
wii u is not bad
Why are you glad you never got a Wii U?
😅😂😂😂
????? hello? are you okay?
i love these type of videos
Big question
so Nico Charles is no longer the voice of Mario if you already heard it😢 but all I have to say he was an amazing voice, actor
ah is this the new wii controller I've been hearing about?
1:24 Project Cafe!?!?!?!?!?!
That was the name of it during development
The video is appreciated, but the data included is already part of popular culture and hundreds of videos have been made talking about them.
I feel like it's wrong that Nico didn't mention the terrible commercials lol
The Wii U is one of my favorite consoles
The Wii U is still my favorite console of all time.
I wish the Wii U was portable. Also PS, Nicobbq I'm subscribed to your channel.
Well there’s the 3DS.
The 3DS had 2 screens. Same for the Wii U. In this Era, there wasn't an option for Nintendo to make console to play on one screen...
I love useless facts pliz make for hollow knight
Nico, your channels are gonna get eliminated if you don't return to your channel "More Nico"!
Yahh I Graduated and am smiling because of what I did from 2007-now proud of my self

I Still LOVE Wii U
Me too
I still LOVE 3DS.
The Wii U is the greatest nintendo console of all time.
I don't think so because it's very slow, the GamePad sucks and its library is tiny.
@@lol-ih1tl nah, Okay, Wii U may be slow, but it has a great library, and the gamepad is actually good.
We need a successor to Miiverse please nintendo, please.
People are going to get banned for mentioning emulators.
just mod ur 3ds/wii u and get rverse
I feel bad for the wii u 😢
It’s my all time favoUrite
This isn't a terrible console, but this isn't the best console, Dreamcast is.
I'm watching this on a wii u!!!
whilst the Wii u is not fun the facts can be!
not fun? why?
Wii U is still better than switch for me
The way you is the early Nintendo switch the Nintendo switch is the copy of the Wii U
Oo
