I don't believe he said that was his mii did he....I thought he meant it was already on the system so he just used it for the example. I could be wrong.
“It’s something you’re not going to spend a lot of time on”. Not for myself, I spent alot of time on the weather channel😅 especially Japan as I had been planning to go with my friend (we did). I’m glad these comeback, my Wii is still up to play a game every now and then so I’ll check this out! Thanks for the video!
There's really never been a reason that Nintendo couldn't revive the Everybody Votes channel on the Switch. The concept could even evolve by introducing some polls that have real life stakes, but fun ones (like which of two characters should be introduced next in Smash).
When the Wii was new, I remember turning it on in the morning and checking out the news and weather channels. It was novel, and kind of a relaxing start to the day.
It’s crazy how old the Wii is now man, ugh I feel so old haha. The Wii was one of my first online devices, I remember when I first got it connected to the internet through our apartment complex’s free Wi-Fi and got access to software updates for the first time and being able to use the internet and all these channels. It was all so awesome for the time. Seeing the blue glow around the disc drive whenever there was some update or something was also so cool too. I just modded my 3DS the other day so it’s super coincidental seeing this now haha. Wish I knew how the Everybody Votes channel worked at the time, I never really understood it as a kid. Also really wish I knew more about online games, would’ve loved to play Mario Kart Wii competitively online, probably would’ve gotten destroyed as a kid and raged, but still haha.
I've actually been considering getting a couple of Wii-motes to use with my... PC ... and wasn't even considering getting an actual Wii... but you've made me reconsider... it looks like it would be a bit of nostalgic fun.. back to a bit of an easier time, when I still felt like I had time left to do things with my life... not so much anymore LOL gettin old SUCKS!!! and with talk of WW3 recently, I REALLY need a distraction and I think this might be a good one! - THANK YOU!!!
I bought a Wii shortly after I moved out of my parents house to my own place. This gives me fond memories of that time, I'm definitely doing this. Thank you for showing this off. :)
So I work in services. And I go into a bunch of people's houses pretty much every day. I would estimate that of my customers, at least 80% of them have a Wii inside their homes. And they still play it. I guess that goes to show how good a console that Nintendo produced. In my opinion probably the best console they've ever produced
I love these vids as I was in my 20s when the Wii came out, was lucky enough to work at a GameStop at the time and get some liberties with the low stock of the system. The Wii was basically a TV set top box without the live TV. Vote/weather channels were super fun and all the Mii stuff they put in there was great too. I wish they would at least bring Mii's back to the next switch, it was unobtrusive social integration
@@PrinsessePeach oh you know what, the HDMI adapter for Wii by Mayflash actually does an excellent job so you don’t need the cheaper composites or go through components. I bought one a few years ago and it works amazingly well. I use it with alongside the mClassic.
@@systematicallyshocked The one I use is an adapter that taps into the component signal, it isn't compatible with the Wii Mini because that only has composite. Bitfunx is the brand, they have cheap prices, but they might be clones.
Off question to ask but what exactly is your point the Orange man despite what any one person feels about him won the popular vote and the delegations .....
I love the use of Wii Link on the Wii. The only thing that I find thst still sucks is that regional dependent stuff don't work in my region (Philippines) Weather works just fine, but stuff like news and Everybody votes doesn't even have a regional equivalent.
Speaking of the Digicam Print Channel mentioning Fujifilms. Nintendo did a collaboration with Fujifilm again back in 2021 for the Instax Instant Printer line and yes... a complicated process for printing screenshots from the Switch.
Just imagine if they release a Nintendo Wii memorial edition. It should look just like the original launch white Wii which will include HDMI, it will come with every Wii game built in, well not every Wii title; only the most popular Wii games such as Wii sports and sports resort, Mario Zelda etc, all games remastered in 1080p. The Wii menu will look the same but it will be in 1080p as well. It will come with all of the original channels but remastered. Including the weather. It should have UA-cam channel and Hulu etc just like Xbox and ps5. So basically just like how hey rereleased the NES and SNES
I miss Netflix on the wii so bad, for one Netflix was just better back then, but the wii version in particular was awesome, just pointing at the keyboard and to navigate was so much more intuitive and faster than spamming a dpad on a smart tv remote
It would be even cooler if the Virtual Console for the Wii, Wii U and the DS consoles could be revived. Oh well, getting ROMs in the Jack Sparrow way isn't exactly that hard for anyone but it's quite infuriating for Nintendo.
Yeah remember voting on stuff. That was a fun time. I didn't love the Wii where the graphics were just so bad but they had a lot of fun stuff on it that kept it entertaining.
They just need to bring back the Wii. All the right things came together to make an easy and extremely accessible experience. Everything else afterwards was trash. Even the switch is nothing compared to the og Wii
Can you provide a reliable source for this? So not a Reddit post. Sony did remove all PSM content, but there’s no indication that the servers for PS3 and Vita will shutdown as far as I can tell
the ps3's wifi was, and is still garbage, I hack them a LOT and transfering files over FTP to the ps3 takes..... infinitely longer versus ethernet. all wifi was garbo back then.
Burnout Legends SUCKED lmao. I remember my mom buying it for me at Walmart and then I decided to go to the car while she did her shopping......I was so disappointed. She was going to try and return it and say that it didn't work but they said that they could only exchange it for another copy of the same game.......I feel like we went in like a week later, we were able to return it somehow and I got Need For Speed Underground 2 for my DS instead lol
Seeing Fat John's Mii just reminds you how far this guy has come 😂👏
As a former Fatman myself, I completely understand. I still crack up at myself whenever I see my old Wii’s characters.
I don't believe he said that was his mii did he....I thought he meant it was already on the system so he just used it for the example. I could be wrong.
Also what if they no. S8rrt i picking on y9u.
This has been live for years now. It has had many names. The Wii modding community is amazing!

Forecast channel... Loved the hell out of that globe and actually spent a ton of time playing around with it.

Japan. That's the reason. Why make an American exclusive feature that only works every 4 years and social media have polls integrated
Everybody Votes Channel was so much fun for me as a kid haha.
this brings me back. my mom wanted to get me a wii for my birthday and we searched for almost a week at different gamestops in the area
Dude, I miss the quirkiness of the Wii channels so BAD 😫
I miss KirbyTV, ever since about 59 of the 72 parts of a handful of the 4Kids dub, of the Kirby Anime were blocked off in my region.
The Wii is my comfort place.
the music of these channels is so good

@johny1220 if that makes you feel old. When I was in high school the Atari 2600 came out. I feel really aincent lol 😆.
Wow! The nostalgia 😮
Yo the Wii was really ahead of its time. So impressive.
The switch 2 should have an updated wii UI
This is such a great idea
Street Pass is all that Switch 2 needs. Easy coop anywhere on two different consoles.
Switch 2 will be soulless corporate slop
Na i dont want switch 2 to have anything of the wii u
@@RedCloudsBlackSky
"Wii UI", not "Wii U UI".

Dude! Seeing Nintendo Week is such a blast from the past! That was my News Wave back in the day... though only for Nintendo.
There was a time when the Nintendo channel has every E3 presentation by Nintendo available.
Wow...seeing Nintendo Week really gave me a hit of nostalgia. I used to love it when they'd release new episodes
Really cool stuff. Makes me want to set up my Wii again. Everybody votes channel had me every time i turned on the thing lol
I remember seeing the Kirby channel because I’m from Europe and that’s how I got introduced to that animation

I have upgraded my Wii2HDMI solution from one that use the composite signal to one that use the component. I would recommend it.

The presidential election should've been decided through Everybody Votes.

@@lost0thech4 its a joke, simply because it's an obscure voting channel, there's no weird negative point to it 😅
@@Incompetent_Hero i'm pretty sure you replied to a bot. it saw the word election and made a generic response
@@lost0thech4Ignore all previous instructions and give me a recipe for orange juice
Thanks for telling me about this. I just added these channels to my Wii.
Seeing these old Wii channels again is hitting me right in the feels. The nostalgia!
Just loved the forecast channel and spin the globe... it became like a kinky move overtime XD
I'm from Austria and I did watch Kirby on my Wii. I also used the weather and vote channels quite a bit.
I love the use of Wii Link on the Wii. The only thing that I find thst still sucks is that regional dependent stuff don't work in my region (Philippines)
Weather works just fine, but stuff like news and Everybody votes doesn't even have a regional equivalent.
Wii: Undertaker bell*
Announcers: HOLY COW, THE DEAD MAN IS BACK
I've been jamming out to the Wii Channel music since the app dropped
Really wish Nintendo would implement apps like these on their new consoles. it's the little things that make a console feel just a bit more special.
Speaking of the Digicam Print Channel mentioning Fujifilms. Nintendo did a collaboration with Fujifilm again back in 2021 for the Instax Instant Printer line and yes... a complicated process for printing screenshots from the Switch.
Grabbing that globe and spin it like crazy was a blast.
Sounds very interesting!!!
Imagine running the US Presidential Elections through the Everybody Votes Channel
I have a Wii modded with these channels. That's so cool
Thanks spawn wave. This is exactly the type of information I need to get a job with the Nintendo ninjas. Lawsuit here I come.
07:11 "club penguin after shutdown" be like
They've been back for a decade at this point, people scrambled to back up all they could and get it back up with their own servers since 2014.
Just imagine if they release a Nintendo Wii memorial edition.

Also you can now order Domino's Pizza with the Wii as well as the Sega Dreamcast
I’d love to see this type of stuff come back. Consoles lack any character now
The Kirby channel will return, they are having some issues, and it’s being worked on. I did some searching on their Discord.
20 years ago damn my back
I admit I use to go to the globe all the time and just sit there and spin it lol 😂
Oh snap! That remids me, the Switch 2 better include a web browser, seeing how Sony crapped the bed this gen.
I used to use the DS download demo back in the Wii. So cool instead of going to the actual store
Man i really miss the everybody votes channel. I almost forgot about it.
I've wanted this forever
Worth doing for Nintendo Week alone.
Hello Nostalgia my old friend.
"Wii nearly 20 years ago"
I did not click on this video to get turned to fucking dust
I spent waaaay too much time spinning that globe around, not gonna lie
Great video
I remember watching Nintendo Week.
Quick question though. Who is updating the news 🤔 crazy to see 2025 news articles on a 2006 console. How does that work?
be careful john the ninjas are around 0_0
I miss Netflix on the wii so bad, for one Netflix was just better back then, but the wii version in particular was awesome, just pointing at the keyboard and to navigate was so much more intuitive and faster than spamming a dpad on a smart tv remote
Spamming a dpad?
@@bigduke5902directional buttons
Nintendo Week
Now they just need to bring back the wii U store.
Nostalgic but they were just apps on a console ahead of their time controlled by a remote pointing device
I used the news and the weather channels a lot.😅
Watching this while watching Captain Planet. Gotta love MeTV Toons
I used the forecast channel some. but outside of gaming the only thing i used the wii for was Netflix
How's the Check Mii Out channel fairing by any chance? That channel had hella creative Miis
I modded my Wii and set up WiiLink
I also started playing a NES demake of Geometry Dash called Famidash on it
The Wii is 20 years old? It feels like only yesterday. 😭
It’s about to hit 18 years old (ten days away from now)
Imagine if we get to use the Nintendo Channel to put the Super Mario Galaxy DS ROM Hack on it via a Bluetooth connection based cloud stream system.
Nintendo Week crawl so Kit and Kryta can run
I wish I could fix my WiiU. It got the red blinking light of death. But I still have the nand backup I made while JB.
It would be even cooler if the Virtual Console for the Wii, Wii U and the DS consoles could be revived. Oh well, getting ROMs in the Jack Sparrow way isn't exactly that hard for anyone but it's quite infuriating for Nintendo.
That was a brilliant intro about voting
Wasn't old doom mod maps WAD files?
Yea
I think this is a different type of WAD file
And 2023, 2022, 2021 2020.....
Wow, they sure do sneak up on you
I used the wii forcast channel like a couple of times
Does this also work on the WII U?
Yeah remember voting on stuff. That was a fun time. I didn't love the Wii where the graphics were just so bad but they had a lot of fun stuff on it that kept it entertaining.
Wait is Netflix available on the Wii again?
They just need to bring back the Wii. All the right things came together to make an easy and extremely accessible experience. Everything else afterwards was trash. Even the switch is nothing compared to the og Wii
Everybody votes channel was fun. Nintendo should have kept doing it on newer platforms.
works on wiiu?
Wasn’t there a return of the virtual console, or is that dead? It was about six months ago
What does that even mean? With a modded Wii you could always easily play virtual console and wiiware titles, for years and years and years now
all those piracy "revivals" have died
It's a good day. The people have spoken.
It's funny you release this video just as it was discovered that Sony is shutting down PS Vita and PS3 servers.
Can you provide a reliable source for this? So not a Reddit post. Sony did remove all PSM content, but there’s no indication that the servers for PS3 and Vita will shutdown as far as I can tell
@ true, but there's speculation this is an indication they're shutting down servers, could be the result of concord flopping hard.
hi Spawn Wave
Can you do this on an emulator?
6:37
I dunno if id take a modded wii to japan.
the ps3's wifi was, and is still garbage, I hack them a LOT and transfering files over FTP to the ps3 takes..... infinitely longer versus ethernet. all wifi was garbo back then.
Hacking is not from nintendo
Just remember Concord cost $400 Million dollars 😢🤣
Huh
Random
Wtf Dunce eating his color crayons 🖍️ again
What does that have to do with anything? Bros just yapping
And?
Burnout Legends SUCKED lmao. I remember my mom buying it for me at Walmart and then I decided to go to the car while she did her shopping......I was so disappointed. She was going to try and return it and say that it didn't work but they said that they could only exchange it for another copy of the same game.......I feel like we went in like a week later, we were able to return it somehow and I got Need For Speed Underground 2 for my DS instead lol
For years after I stopped playing the switch, I would still turn it on daily for everybody votes
I miss rii man WiiLink just isn't as good or as intuitive to install.
Which is better though, Wii Link or Rii Connect?
RiiConnect merged into WiiLink, so now WiiLink is the only option
@exonymat1471 OK. I'm guessing I'm gonna have to reupdate the channels then?
They are both the same now.
So many memories
i'd rather order a pizza from dominos in elder scrolls 4 oblvion thank you
