@@SuperM789 The Mario timeline is a mess, especially if you throw Partners in Time in there along with the remake of Superstar Saga since the side mode contradicts the plot of the main game. Other problems arise with the time travel in Yoshi’s Island DS, the Mushroom Kingdom constantly changing with it sometimes being the grassy green place with trees in Super Mario 64 and Odyssey, and the grassy green place with the weird colorful “hill” things in NSMB 1, 2, Wii, and U. NSMB 1 and 2 are supposedly in the same place except the world maps are different with the final world that was originally half haunted half volcano in NSMB 1 being merged with the ghost trees being on the volcanic landscape in NSMB2. Even MORE inconsistencies include Donkey Kong the first from the arcade Donkey Kong growing old to become known as Cranky Kong while Mario, who appears in the same game, does not age in the slightest. DK island also changed between the old Country games and 64 and the two new games. With all of these in mind, the Mario “timeline” should not be taken seriously in the slightest and we should appreciate the games for what they are rather than over-analyze them to death like I just did.
Just realized the Sheikah Slate is meant to be the WiiU gamepad. Explains why in Tears of the Kingdom, the Purah Pad looks a lot more like an undocked Switch.
i'm so stressed out scott the woz uploads a second channel before the aftermath of the in-depth look at the nintendo console that is not shit in 2013...
I mean with the super horn it makes you choose between keeping a mostly secure item like the shell/banana or hold on to it to wait for a blue shell. Also if you do keep it and use it to avoid a red shell now you dont have defense. You have to think if its worth the spend
I was originally planning to buy BOTW for Wii U. i got to walmart a mere 30 minutes before opening, and that was enough to secure a ticket for a Switch. So instead of just spending $60, i wound up spending something like $500 for console, game, pro controller and an amiibo. Worth it.
Yup, similar story here. I was in line at Best Buy and they had extra tickets + the people in the line convinced me to buy the Switch 🤣 Happy I did, cause I remember it being sold out for a bit after launch
"An Amiibo" I still haven't found any amiibo that gives you Epona, that's why I just stopped playing it. Doing the final boss on a different horse would just feel wrong, and until I get an unofficial Amiibo card online or something I'm probably not finishing it.
I wanted a Wii U because I wanted Mario Maker, and I wanted a switch because I wanted Mario Maker 2. I bet there’s gonna be another Nintendo console, they’re gonna have Mario Maker 3D, and I’m gonna want it because of that-
@@SuperM789 A mobile game and a home console game don't directly compete against each other. They even released a Mario Kart game on Switch with actual RC cars because that doesn't directly compete. If you made Minecraft 2, for example, sales of the original Minecraft would slow down considerably because you've just split your player base in half.
I think the biggest reason why Tokyo Mirage Sessions never had an English dub (outside of saving money) would be that most of the characters are idols, so they sing. Getting VAs that can sing and having to pay to have English versions of all of the songs produced likely killed any chance of a dub.
I think it's just money. There's a lot of idol anime that is dubbed in English and yet they still have the songs stay in Japanese. It'd be standard if there was 0 English songs. If they actually did re-record in English, that'd be going the extra mile.
That kind of reminds me that many years ago anime opening and ending songs were translated and dubbed into Spanish, many of them being pretty good covers. But since the 2000s that practice kind of stopped, the only recent anime whose songs were translated for the Spanish are Fairy Tail, World Trigger and Dragon Quest the Adventure of Dai
I think the main reason was sales. The game flopped hard even in Japan and Nintendo probably wasn't expecting it to perform well in the West. The Switch version didn't sell great either.
Tropical Freeze was even more eggregous because it had been released as a Nintendo Selects title and was $20 for years, AND the Wii U version got delisted from the Switch eShop.
I recall that all titles on all of their online storefronts share the same database, so it could've been possible that Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze having the same name could've confused an employee and made them think the Wii U title was an accidental duplicate (considering the game has the same title on the switch)
@@-aexc- nah I'm just imagining a scenario that could've happened, honestly think Nintendo are scumbags but words aren't gonna stop them from profiting heavily off of anti-consumer practices.
I always love that Scott does these type of videos that feel like what ScottTheWoz was like before they transitioned to be more elaborate. I do still really enjoy the elaborate ones though.

I mean yes, but like you said that's basically what these are. I honestly don't even watch UA-cam videos most of the time, I just put em on in the background of whatever I'm doing and just listen too them
@@UltimateTS64 But it’s easier to listen to it if it’s a podcast. You can turn off your device while you listen to it. He could have the videos (which will most likely do better) and then also have the podcast for those who want it. Just an idea though. I think I’d be more likely to listen to his podcast over watching the video, because I wouldn’t have time to watch it.
Was just thinking this. I’m tired of sticking my phone in my pocket with the screen open just to listen to Scott when I’m out walking my dog. I refuse to pay for UA-cam premium though.
@@turtleshrugged164 how about youtube revanced, it has that background play for free, oh and before anyone points out that it blocks ads you can whitelist channels that are actually deserving of the ad revenue like this one, also it has a feature that skips the ads themselves after 5 seconds
You forgot to mention that in Wii U version of MK8, you can see what items every player is holding on the gamepad. This does change the competitve strategy quite a bit.
Kind of a fun fact: You can still play as Blue Toad in NSMBD, it needs to be activated through a little command, but idk if you can play both as Yellow and Blue Toad at the same time
Kinda surprised that the Wonderful 101 Remastered wasn't talked about. It was one of the more unique Wii U games that suddenly got a remaster, and to other platforms, no less, right when most people thought it was a Nintendo-owned IP.

One of the funniest things about the 3DS version of Treasure Tracker are the Odyssey levels, it’s so mindbending to see super Mario odyssey levels on a 3DS
It's a very great game lol, I wish it had much more recognition. The soundtrack and characters are excellent. Still hoping for a sequel, even though I doubt it'll happen
@@mestremiller1805 why official? Mods are perfectly fine, also the censorship is extremely small in comparison to other things Nintendo has censored, I was confused why TMS had so much controversy over it
Back then I used to carry the Wii U with me everywhere I go and bring it to people's houses for those who are unable to find a Wii U and we played together.
Its so weird, i remember some conventions having a Wii U in a room and people being very curious about it. Also, i went to a friends birthday, who collects PlayStation, and even though 5 had released and he was about to buy it later on that year, we were playing Wii U emulated on a gamer PC that another friend brought.
@@RavenclawNimbus You should know that many 3rd party Switch games are cheaper and better on other platforms, but the Nintendo games are still king, somehow
@@schimnesthaisbasement5015 That’s your opinion. I feel like most of the popular Xbox and PlayStation games are just violent shooter games. I don’t personally see the appeal
LEGO City Undercover is one of my favorite LEGO games of all time so it’s great to have it on Switch and take it anywhere. Plus it had some enhancements like a revamped lighting engine and two player co-op.
They changed Chase police outfit to be more blue, for the release of the new figure, and since then, Chase hasn't appeared anymore :( (He was in Lego Dimensions btw)
I'm still peeved that Xenoblade Chronicles X is still stuck on the WiiU, despite of the fact that 1, 2 and 3 are all available on the Switch, and 2/3 even go and reference X in the postgame.
@@lucasdellamaggiore I think the devs said it would need a ton of rework to be possible on Switch. I think they'll probably just wait for the next nintendo console before we ever get a port.
@@lucasdellamaggiore Yeah I wish as well but with how big the world was for X and the amount of rework they'd need for the gamepad features its probably better to just hold it off as a year 1 Switch Successor game than release it this very late into the lifecycle.
They used every chip on the system to make it work, that's what i think atleast, the chipset on Switch is wildly different, even the registry or references inside of them could be a huge pain to do a port... most Nintendo games are made on a Windows environment, even Pikmin for the Gamecube probably booted natively on a PC, but they do so much testing and configurations for the thing to work like it does on the system, and i imagine the X devs did so much to use every juice that the Wii U could give, that the game would work weird directly on other systems... unless you emulate the Wii U, wich aparently isn't that hard... will the Switch emulate the Wii U eventually?
You know, Scott, if you enjoy making videos like this, make these videos. These are great. I feel as though you may have set a standard too high for your main channel. This could be why you aren’t uploading there hardly ever nowadays since you want everything there to be so great. We all appreciate these videos.
I still get the feeling the Scott the Woz channel will probably be retired after he finishes up the Wii U saga of videos. I feel like most of his passion now comes the Scott’s Stash video (which have been really good), which also gets updated frequently to the point where the YT algorithm will recommend more Scott’s Stash videos than it does Scott the Woz videos. Scott’s Stash feels more like the main channel while Scott the Woz feels like the secondary that’s updated once in a blue moon.
I always thought it was nice BotW got released on both consoles, I couldn’t afford a switch at launch and I was able to experience! Fun seeing it run on Wii U again.
As an avid LEGO fan, you have no idea how happy I was when they announced the LEGO City Undercover ports. It was one of the first LEGO games I skipped out on just because I didn't have a Wii U, and finally having a chance to play it was sweet. As for the cosmetic changes I have an idea why they did that. Chase McCain has continued to appear in LEGO content since the game came out, including multiple set releases and I think he even shows up in their new TV show. The new outfit was one of the newer updated figures they made to give collectors more incentive to buy their 50th LEGO cop car.
Man it would be cool if Nintendo ported the Zelda HD remasters from Wii U to Switch. I know the minute I get a Wii U for them they'll come out on Switch
@@Timmy-mi2efnot really. A mid spec pc does the job but you can always emulate it on dolphin instead (not the hd versions) if your pc cant emulate cemu. I can emulate gamecube and wii games perfectly on my phone so no need to use my pc for emulating those masterpieces
Fascinating thing about MK8 assisted driving: most kids now play with the settings on. So when I brought in Mario Kart Wii for my students to play, they all immediately went off the edge or got turned around since the game isn’t steering for them
That's... Kinda sad... I'm reminded of what Scott said in his MK8 Deluxe video. "I'm worried about how Smart Steering and Acceleration will affect the driving abilities of our youth" and then cuts to Scott sitting in his parked car yelling "Go!"
@@CStars55 I mean, it’s funny that he’s kinda right. I think it’s mostly cause the features are automatically on and most kids don’t notice to turn them off. It just means they are at a mega disadvantage without them. Growing up with Mario Kart DS, I certainly didn’t have the problem when I was their age.
I find these types of modes to be kind of insulting. Let the kids figure out the driving, don't have a setting that does most of the work for them. Sure, some might turn it off after using it for a while, but it's really easy to grown complacent and expect it in other racing games.
There's still three great Wii U games that haven't been ported over, for some stupid, inane reason - Twilight Princess HD, The Wind Waker HD, and Xenoblade Chronicles X. If those were to release on the Switch, not only would there be no point to owning a Wii U (outside of Virtual Console, if you bought stuff before the eShop shutdown), but the Switch would have _every_ Xenoblade game, and *finally* get some amazing 3D Legend of Zelda games.
I know why the Wii U version of Breath of the Wild pauses when you hit the HOME button. Its because the Wii U only has 2 GB of RAM, typically 1 GB is reserved for games while the other 1 GB is for system functions. Breath of the Wild is such a large game though that it needs both GB of RAM and so it has to push the game into a swap partition in the system memory to bring up the HOME menu. The pause is the game loading back into RAM.
The main thing on Nintendo's side is that many of these games sold more on the Switch then there was hardware on the Wii U side. Makes me wonder if the system did better how well these games would had done if the Wii U it'self had done better in general.
The fact that the Wii U botw didn’t have gamepad use with sheikah slate is kinda a missed opportunity but it is annoying like on xbcx not being able to use map with pro controller but being to do both would be best imo
Bowser’s Fury is extremely underrated. People often ask when the next 3D Mario game will come out, forgetting an entirely new one released in 2021. It might not be as robust as Odyssey or 3D World, but it’s a fully fleshed out game nevertheless and does lots of new and cool things.
@@poudink5791 It’s more than 4 hours if you go for 100%, but length isn’t what determines whether or not it’s a legit game. That’s no shorter than plenty of other Mario games.
Bowser’s Fury is kinda short and can’t be bought separate from 3D world. Can it be really called a new release when it’s attached to another game? I’d see it more like an expansion
One thing to mention as well is that some games, like Donkey Kong, not only were 50 dollars at launch, went to nintendo selects, bringing them down to 20 dollars. Searching the game on the website when the switch version arrived would give you the game on wii u for 20 and the switch version for 60
@@blazingtrs6348which is also on Wii U, and what’s even worse is that in Europe, the 2pack became a Nintendo selects, so you could get 2 games for only 20 dollars
I bought a refurbished Wii U bundle off Nintendo's site when breath of the Wild came out. I've got over a thousand hours in that version (Yes, really) and yeah, the thing about the switch version having better sound effects is 100% true. it's just really subtle and most people won't notice it. they're like, higher quality than the Wii U version. for someone like me that's heard the Wii U sound effects over and over and over again for so long, when I started playing the switch version I immediately noticed it. I always thought it was funny Nintendo even brought it up, but props for their honesty and attention to detail, it's definitely there.
This video brought me back to a memory I had long forgotten: Playing Lego City Undercover as a kid and waiting AGES (in kid time) with my brother during the loading screens.
As a Wii U owner the only port I’ve bought is Pikmin 3 Deluxe in order for Pikmin 4 to happen. Other than that it’s not worth spending $60 on a game you already own.
@@ianeons9278 You are an idiot. Every game should have a Funky Mode. If they don't, the game is objectively a 2/10 at best. Funky Mode brings the best out of games, yet Tropical Freeze Deluxe, is the only one to do so. Therefore, it is a 57/10.
as much as wii u ports are controversial, I really just want a "Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition" so the entire series can be playable on the system
The devs of Pokkén Tournament had always meant for it to be called that, as that's its legal Japanese name as well; only in German was it renamed to Pokémon Tekken and even then it's only because of the way the German word for smallpox, pocken, is pronounced.
It's always weird seeing him talk about the Wii U BOTW like it's a relic, that was the version I played. Got the DLC too. It's like seeing someone talk about how lonely your friend is. Hey I just hung out with him last week!
I got the WiiU version of Breath of the Wild first, and I didn't get the switch version until Fall of 2017, when birthdays started happening in my family; which is how i can truthfully say that I beat BotW on WiiU before even buying the switch version!
I was that person who was STOCKED to see Tokyo Mirage Sessions come to Switch. I wanted a Wii U for Bayonetta 2 and TMS, so when they both came over I was stocked. The music in that game is incredible and I loved all the characters. Would love to see them do something like this again.
Interesting take on Captain Toad - I just realized that they may have released it too soon. Should've at least waited until the Lite was out and promoted it as a handheld game primarily, not changing the ending and having Labo support from the start.
hey scott i just wanted to let you know that the day this video was uploaded (a few days ago now) was on my 3 years of being a fan so i just wanted to say thankyou for everything all the entertainment and fun memories over the past few years and i can't wait to see what comes next in the upcoming season!!!
I was very resilient on buying Mario Kart 8 again but just like you said, when the new tracks were announced, I just couldn't fight it anymore. At least I got the base port on discount for waiting that long!
I didn't get BOTW for Switch until 2021. For years, I only had the Wii U version. The biggest difference for me going to the switch version was having motion controls on the pro controller since I didn't usually use the wii u gamepad to play.
I bought Tokyo Mirage Sessions on Switch as a big Fire Emblem fan who had never played a MegaTen game, and I loved it. It’s VERY anime which isn’t usually for me, but the combat and mechanics were excellent. Great game.
I remember playing botw on the wii u, was my first experience with the game, im a traditional zelda guy but playing that game as a young kid was magical.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions remains one of my favorite Switch ports. When recommending it to friends, I like to say it's a good gateway game to the Persona series. A nice, lighthearted story that's not super long, and gives you a taste of Persona gameplay with Fire Emblem references. While I especially love the new content added to Encore. I just wish it included an English dub. This wasn't a problem for me at first, but then Tokyo Mirage Sessions characters were added to Fire Emblem Heroes with new English voices. Would love to see a sequel someday.
I didn't have a Wii U so I saw the Sheikah slate as a Switch. The case I got for my switch with the BOTW collectors edition kinda helped cement that. This is after years of playing smash 4 on my friends' Wii Us. Tropical Freeze stings but I suppose that's why I have my Steam Deck
The Windwaker is one of my favorite Zelda games and the HD verson on Wii U made me happy, also Twilight Princess HD... I still waiting the Switch ports so I can finally sell my Wii U
bowsers fury is fantastic, i completioned it right after finishing 3D World and a week later did it again and then again, and just yesterday i did it again. Its just a perfect little add on and is so fun.
I feel Yoshi's Wooley World is the last great Wii U game not to be be ported (though its a shameMario Maker 2 lacked Amiibo characters and levels like the first). Such a great platformer. Loved Kirby and the Rainbow Curse but that requires touchscreen controls so i understand if it'll never get a port.
The 3D world port will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember picking this up right after it came out in 2021 and absolutely adoring it. My girlfriend who I had been doing long distance with at the time ended up picking it up as well and we would spend hours on end playing this together everyday over the phone via online play. This game was so monumental for us especially since Covid at the time had still been raging on very strongly so this gave us something fun to do over the phone. We're finally living a normal life together now as we aren't doing long distance anymore but I always look back at this game with great memories. For those who haven't played this game yet I highly suggest as its just an overall good time
As a previous Wii U owner, when Switch games came out because they were all Wii U games. Like, they made jump to the Switch only to pay $50 or so bucks to play games I played previously. I homebrewed the shit out of my switch after that disgrace and I had some fun, although I find Switch library to be a little boring except for a few gems. Wii U and 3DS era had very good games.
I hope they port tears of the kingdom to the next Nintendo console. The game really needed the extra performance, hopefully it gets a patch to address it soon. But if they can get something that's even close to the current gen in the next console it would run plenty of their first party "next gen" games at 60 fps minimum. Or they need to remake actual classics instead of stuff that was just last gen, it was more than understandable going from the Wii U to the Switch though. But the next console should just be able to take your Nintendo library and emulate it with higher performance than a Switch.
@@quinnkiley9030 If it's not I hope they don't expect people to buy the remakes like they did for the Wii U stuff cause unless someone's just never played the game it's not gonna happen. I'd say backwards compatibility is just as important as the very needed hardware upgrades.
I don't think botw 2 isn't going to be ported to switch successor because it mostly be available at day of the switch successor eshop that same way the dsi games that were available on day one on the 3ds eshop
@@SlyRyFry I mean the hybrid model is here to stay so i imagine the next system is gonna be BC and they'll just throw out next gen updates like sony and ms do.
I love the Scott’s stash videos. In the earlier ones he would say “uuuhhmm” a lot when talking which is a pet peeve of mine but it seems he has gotten better hahaha
6:04 Hard disagree. Windwaker HD is the definitive version of Windwaker not only because of the enhanced visuals, but the Gamepad inventory management was extremely convenient. It wasn't distracting from the game at all, if anything it was a great quality of life improvement to Windwaker. I cannot imagine playing Windwaker without the Gamepad now. Would've been nice if inventory management was similar in BOTW Wii U.
We should all just be thankful that Nintendo brought all these Wii U games to the Switch as they could’ve just left them to the past and still been absolutely fine. I myself skipped the Wii U which is the only Nintendo console I’ve ever skipped. So having them as better versions on the Switch is amazing!
To me, BotW is a Wii U game, since that's what I & a buddy of mine played it on. I didn't care to buy a "handheld" console, the Switch at the time. Even after I got a Switch I refuse to buy any ports, almost feel cheated by Nintendo because of it. Been watching Scott the Woz channel for years now & just discovered this.
No reason to own both since Nintendo doesn’t give achievements on their games the Nintendo Switch is more comfortable to play on then on the Wii U maybe when Nintendo starts giving achievements they will be worth buying the same game over again the only games worth buying over again are games like Pac-Man

Is it a missing feature if the feature was expanded in the next version?
Not a bug, a feature
I was originally planning to buy BOTW for Wii U. i got to walmart a mere 30 minutes before opening, and that was enough to secure a ticket for a Switch. So instead of just spending $60, i wound up spending something like $500 for console, game, pro controller and an amiibo. Worth it.
Yup, similar story here. I was in line at Best Buy and they had extra tickets + the people in the line convinced me to buy the Switch 🤣

@@SuperM789 Nice of them to repackage Mario Kart 9 as Mario Kart 8 DLC for those of us who never made the switch.
@@SuperM789 A mobile game and a home console game don't directly compete against each other. They even released a Mario Kart game on Switch with actual RC cars because that doesn't directly compete. If you made Minecraft 2, for example, sales of the original Minecraft would slow down considerably because you've just split your player base in half.
I think the biggest reason why Tokyo Mirage Sessions never had an English dub (outside of saving money) would be that most of the characters are idols, so they sing.
Getting VAs that can sing and having to pay to have English versions of all of the songs produced likely killed any chance of a dub.
I think it's just money. There's a lot of idol anime that is dubbed in English and yet they still have the songs stay in Japanese. It'd be standard if there was 0 English songs. If they actually did re-record in English, that'd be going the extra mile.
That kind of reminds me that many years ago anime opening and ending songs were translated and dubbed into Spanish, many of them being pretty good covers. But since the 2000s that practice kind of stopped, the only recent anime whose songs were translated for the Spanish are Fairy Tail, World Trigger and Dragon Quest the Adventure of Dai
I think the main reason was sales. The game flopped hard even in Japan and Nintendo probably wasn't expecting it to perform well in the West. The Switch version didn't sell great either.
Censoring the game as well in Western Versions.
I mean they could have sung in just Japanese. Oh well.
The Wii U cover of Breath of the Wild makes me feel the same way those mock-up's of Wind Waker HD on PS4 made me feel.

Tropical Freeze was even more eggregous because it had been released as a Nintendo Selects title and was $20 for years, AND the Wii U version got delisted from the Switch eShop.
I recall that all titles on all of their online storefronts share the same database, so it could've been possible that Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze having the same name could've confused an employee and made them think the Wii U title was an accidental duplicate (considering the game has the same title on the switch)

@@-aexc- nah I'm just imagining a scenario that could've happened, honestly think Nintendo are scumbags but words aren't gonna stop them from profiting heavily off of anti-consumer practices.

Am I the only one who thinks Scott could make an INCREDIBLY good podcast?? I know I’d listen to it, and that’s basically what these videos are.
I mean yes, but like you said that's basically what these are. I honestly don't even watch UA-cam videos most of the time, I just put em on in the background of whatever I'm doing and just listen too them
@@UltimateTS64 But it’s easier to listen to it if it’s a podcast. You can turn off your device while you listen to it. He could have the videos (which will most likely do better) and then also have the podcast for those who want it. Just an idea though. I think I’d be more likely to listen to his podcast over watching the video, because I wouldn’t have time to watch it.
Was just thinking this. I’m tired of sticking my phone in my pocket with the screen open just to listen to Scott when I’m out walking my dog. I refuse to pay for UA-cam premium though.
@@RavenclawNimbus you could just get UA-cam Premium if you wanna turn your screen off
@@turtleshrugged164 how about youtube revanced, it has that background play for free, oh and before anyone points out that it blocks ads you can whitelist channels that are actually deserving of the ad revenue like this one, also it has a feature that skips the ads themselves after 5 seconds
You forgot to mention that in Wii U version of MK8, you can see what items every player is holding on the gamepad. This does change the competitve strategy quite a bit.
Yep even Cemu let’s you do it
Kind of a fun fact: You can still play as Blue Toad in NSMBD, it needs to be activated through a little command, but idk if you can play both as Yellow and Blue Toad at the same time

You can’t play as both, so SOMEONE has to be toadette!
Kinda surprised that the Wonderful 101 Remastered wasn't talked about. It was one of the more unique Wii U games that suddenly got a remaster, and to other platforms, no less, right when most people thought it was a Nintendo-owned IP.

One of the funniest things about the 3DS version of Treasure Tracker are the Odyssey levels, it’s so mindbending to see super Mario odyssey levels on a 3DS
I am shocked and appalled that Scott not only played Tokyo Mirage Sessions, but also liked it.
It's a very great game lol, I wish it had much more recognition. The soundtrack and characters are excellent. Still hoping for a sequel, even though I doubt it'll happen
@@pentexsucks43 I'm still hoping for a proper English localization that actually translates battle dialogue.
Meanwhile, I just wanted an official uncensored version being released in the west =/
@@mestremiller1805 why official? Mods are perfectly fine, also the censorship is extremely small in comparison to other things Nintendo has censored, I was confused why TMS had so much controversy over it
His DLC for it got stolen though 😂
Back then I used to carry the Wii U with me everywhere I go and bring it to people's houses for those who are unable to find a Wii U and we played together.
Same. It was fun knowing we were one of the few who had a Wii U and brought it over to peoples houses.
Its so weird, i remember some conventions having a Wii U in a room and people being very curious about it. Also, i went to a friends birthday, who collects PlayStation, and even though 5 had released and he was about to buy it later on that year, we were playing Wii U emulated on a gamer PC that another friend brought.
@@schimnesthaisbasement5015 I’m not even remotely caught up with PlayStation and Xbox. Scott’s videos are basically all I know about them.
@@RavenclawNimbus You should know that many 3rd party Switch games are cheaper and better on other platforms, but the Nintendo games are still king, somehow
@@schimnesthaisbasement5015 That’s your opinion. I feel like most of the popular Xbox and PlayStation games are just violent shooter games. I don’t personally see the appeal
LEGO City Undercover is one of my favorite LEGO games of all time so it’s great to have it on Switch and take it anywhere. Plus it had some enhancements like a revamped lighting engine and two player co-op.
Yeah!! I loved that game
They changed Chase police outfit to be more blue, for the release of the new figure, and since then, Chase hasn't appeared anymore :(
(He was in Lego Dimensions btw)
it was actually the first game i properly beat as a kid!

@@HeyJoshyJosh I'm just at that part lol
I'm still peeved that Xenoblade Chronicles X is still stuck on the WiiU, despite of the fact that 1, 2 and 3 are all available on the Switch, and 2/3 even go and reference X in the postgame.
Xenoblade has become my favorite game franchise after playing all 3 games, so i'd really love it if X was made available as well, shame
@@lucasdellamaggiore I think the devs said it would need a ton of rework to be possible on Switch. I think they'll probably just wait for the next nintendo console before we ever get a port.
@@Drilbit Unfortunately, having all the games in one console would've been ideal
@@lucasdellamaggiore Yeah I wish as well but with how big the world was for X and the amount of rework they'd need for the gamepad features its probably better to just hold it off as a year 1 Switch Successor game than release it this very late into the lifecycle.
They used every chip on the system to make it work, that's what i think atleast, the chipset on Switch is wildly different, even the registry or references inside of them could be a huge pain to do a port... most Nintendo games are made on a Windows environment, even Pikmin for the Gamecube probably booted natively on a PC, but they do so much testing and configurations for the thing to work like it does on the system, and i imagine the X devs did so much to use every juice that the Wii U could give, that the game would work weird directly on other systems... unless you emulate the Wii U, wich aparently isn't that hard... will the Switch emulate the Wii U eventually?
You know, Scott, if you enjoy making videos like this, make these videos. These are great. I feel as though you may have set a standard too high for your main channel. This could be why you aren’t uploading there hardly ever nowadays since you want everything there to be so great. We all appreciate these videos.
I still get the feeling the Scott the Woz channel will probably be retired after he finishes up the Wii U saga of videos. I feel like most of his passion now comes the Scott’s Stash video (which have been really good), which also gets updated frequently to the point where the YT algorithm will recommend more Scott’s Stash videos than it does Scott the Woz videos. Scott’s Stash feels more like the main channel while Scott the Woz feels like the secondary that’s updated once in a blue moon.
Nintendo Selects was also a thing for multiple of these games on Wii U, so it was much cheaper.
Some games disappeared for some time from Wii U after Switch port was released, but returned thankfully.
@@PrinsessePeachyes
I always thought it was nice BotW got released on both consoles, I couldn’t afford a switch at launch and I was able to experience! Fun seeing it run on Wii U again.
As an avid LEGO fan, you have no idea how happy I was when they announced the LEGO City Undercover ports. It was one of the first LEGO games I skipped out on just because I didn't have a Wii U, and finally having a chance to play it was sweet.
As for the cosmetic changes I have an idea why they did that. Chase McCain has continued to appear in LEGO content since the game came out, including multiple set releases and I think he even shows up in their new TV show. The new outfit was one of the newer updated figures they made to give collectors more incentive to buy their 50th LEGO cop car.
Man it would be cool if Nintendo ported the Zelda HD remasters from Wii U to Switch. I know the minute I get a Wii U for them they'll come out on Switch
Just play them in Cemu.
@@SuperFranzs I'd rather get a legit copy as opposed to emulating it
@@SuperFranzsDo you need high specs for that
@@Timmy-mi2efnot really. A mid spec pc does the job but you can always emulate it on dolphin instead (not the hd versions) if your pc cant emulate cemu. I can emulate gamecube and wii games perfectly on my phone so no need to use my pc for emulating those masterpieces
Fascinating thing about MK8 assisted driving: most kids now play with the settings on. So when I brought in Mario Kart Wii for my students to play, they all immediately went off the edge or got turned around since the game isn’t steering for them
That's... Kinda sad... I'm reminded of what Scott said in his MK8 Deluxe video. "I'm worried about how Smart Steering and Acceleration will affect the driving abilities of our youth" and then cuts to Scott sitting in his parked car yelling "Go!"
@@CStars55 I mean, it’s funny that he’s kinda right. I think it’s mostly cause the features are automatically on and most kids don’t notice to turn them off. It just means they are at a mega disadvantage without them. Growing up with Mario Kart DS, I certainly didn’t have the problem when I was their age.
That's pretty funny actually
@@AkameGaKillfan777 That's pretty sad...
I find these types of modes to be kind of insulting. Let the kids figure out the driving, don't have a setting that does most of the work for them. Sure, some might turn it off after using it for a while, but it's really easy to grown complacent and expect it in other racing games.
There's still three great Wii U games that haven't been ported over, for some stupid, inane reason - Twilight Princess HD, The Wind Waker HD, and Xenoblade Chronicles X.
If those were to release on the Switch, not only would there be no point to owning a Wii U (outside of Virtual Console, if you bought stuff before the eShop shutdown), but the Switch would have _every_ Xenoblade game, and *finally* get some amazing 3D Legend of Zelda games.
@Bold One yeah, emulating Wii u doesn't even take a lot of horsepower
@@burnedandfrozen im playing xenoblade x on steam deck
@@burnedandfrozen Except I have no idea how to set up Cemu, or get games to work on it.

I know why the Wii U version of Breath of the Wild pauses when you hit the HOME button. Its because the Wii U only has 2 GB of RAM, typically 1 GB is reserved for games while the other 1 GB is for system functions. Breath of the Wild is such a large game though that it needs both GB of RAM and so it has to push the game into a swap partition in the system memory to bring up the HOME menu. The pause is the game loading back into RAM.
The main thing on Nintendo's side is that many of these games sold more on the Switch then there was hardware on the Wii U side. Makes me wonder if the system did better how well these games would had done if the Wii U it'self had done better in general.
The fact that the Wii U botw didn’t have gamepad use with sheikah slate is kinda a missed opportunity but it is annoying like on xbcx not being able to use map with pro controller but being to do both would be best imo
It was going to until they decided to launch it on the switch as well.
Bowser’s Fury is extremely underrated. People often ask when the next 3D Mario game will come out, forgetting an entirely new one released in 2021. It might not be as robust as Odyssey or 3D World, but it’s a fully fleshed out game nevertheless and does lots of new and cool things.
it's like four hours. it quenched the thirst for the Odyssey DLC people had been wanting for years, but a new game it is not.
@@poudink5791 It’s more than 4 hours if you go for 100%, but length isn’t what determines whether or not it’s a legit game. That’s no shorter than plenty of other Mario games.
@@wesreleases6346 it’s very short for a 3d Mario game
Bowser’s Fury is kinda short and can’t be bought separate from 3D world.
Can it be really called a new release when it’s attached to another game? I’d see it more like an expansion
I'd love to play Bowser's Fury, but I don't want to buy a game I hate in order to play it.
what people who complain about these ports forget is that nobody actually has a wii u
Tropical Freeze goes so hard. It is genuinely a top 5 platformer ever made. Truly a masterpiece.
one of the most overlooked games. it’s genuinely a top 10 of all time
@@sunspot5 agreed!
@@TurntUpTurtles tropical freeze and country returns have simply and effective music it puts Mario 2ds to shame tbh
One thing to mention as well is that some games, like Donkey Kong, not only were 50 dollars at launch, went to nintendo selects, bringing them down to 20 dollars. Searching the game on the website when the switch version arrived would give you the game on wii u for 20 and the switch version for 60
And during the launch of the Switch version I temporarily delisted the games on Wii U eShop 😅.
I think I know why the double tap thing in NSBUDX is a thing. It allows the mid-air twirl to be done with the flying squirrel suit or baby Yoshi
New Soup U Deluxe is one of the biggest jokes in gaming history in my eyes

@@blazingtrs6348same thing for the wii u version
@@blazingtrs6348which is also on Wii U, and what’s even worse is that in Europe, the 2pack became a Nintendo selects, so you could get 2 games for only 20 dollars
I'd argue it tainted the reputation of the NSMB series as a whole
I bought a refurbished Wii U bundle off Nintendo's site when breath of the Wild came out. I've got over a thousand hours in that version (Yes, really) and yeah, the thing about the switch version having better sound effects is 100% true. it's just really subtle and most people won't notice it.
they're like, higher quality than the Wii U version. for someone like me that's heard the Wii U sound effects over and over and over again for so long, when I started playing the switch version I immediately noticed it. I always thought it was funny Nintendo even brought it up, but props for their honesty and attention to detail, it's definitely there.
I never had a Wii U (like a lot of people) so I appreciate being able to play some of the Wii u’s best games on the switch.
This video brought me back to a memory I had long forgotten: Playing Lego City Undercover as a kid and waiting AGES (in kid time) with my brother during the loading screens.
As a Wii U owner the only port I’ve bought is Pikmin 3 Deluxe in order for Pikmin 4 to happen. Other than that it’s not worth spending $60 on a game you already own.

The devs of Pokkén Tournament had always meant for it to be called that, as that's its legal Japanese name as well; only in German was it renamed to Pokémon Tekken and even then it's only because of the way the German word for smallpox, pocken, is pronounced.
It's always weird seeing him talk about the Wii U BOTW like it's a relic, that was the version I played. Got the DLC too. It's like seeing someone talk about how lonely your friend is. Hey I just hung out with him last week!
Same
the best thing about wii u breath of the wild is the crazy amount of mods for it compared to the switch version, and performance enhancements in cemu
Wii U emulation is far less hardware demanding and is far more mature than what we have for the Switch.
I got the WiiU version of Breath of the Wild first, and I didn't get the switch version until Fall of 2017, when birthdays started happening in my family; which is how i can truthfully say that I beat BotW on WiiU before even buying the switch version!
I absolutely loved LEGO City Undercover on WiiU even with the HORRIBLE load times.
Dude your videos get better and better, loving the Wii U content this week
I was that person who was STOCKED to see Tokyo Mirage Sessions come to Switch. I wanted a Wii U for Bayonetta 2 and TMS, so when they both came over I was stocked. The music in that game is incredible and I loved all the characters. Would love to see them do something like this again.
Thank you for the stash uploads man, i like the longer videos, I work from home on a computer and this is a great thing to watch while working
Oh man. I really can't wait for that new video to drop. It's always a good day when Scott uploads

I’m really looking forward to the new full-blown Scott the Woz but until that time I’m happy with these videos!
14:08 I thought I was hearing things when the Sydney Sprint OST started playing in the background, I’ve been listening to that song nonstop
Interesting take on Captain Toad - I just realized that they may have released it too soon. Should've at least waited until the Lite was out and promoted it as a handheld game primarily, not changing the ending and having Labo support from the start.
Yes😂
Great topic that's finally being talked about by scott. Love it! Keep up the the good work!
I really like this channel! It gets straight to talking about games. I like the skits and comedy, but it's nice to just hear straight gamer talk lol
hey scott i just wanted to let you know that the day this video was uploaded (a few days ago now) was on my 3 years of being a fan so i just wanted to say thankyou for everything all the entertainment and fun memories over the past few years and i can't wait to see what comes next in the upcoming season!!!
39:34 the blue toad is still playable, but you need to like go up with the joystick on the character selecting screen when choosing toad.
I was very resilient on buying Mario Kart 8 again but just like you said, when the new tracks were announced, I just couldn't fight it anymore. At least I got the base port on discount for waiting that long!
Captain Toad is a favorite of mine for the 3DS, such a beautiful and well run game.
Scott is keeping us busy. And I love it!
I didn't get BOTW for Switch until 2021. For years, I only had the Wii U version. The biggest difference for me going to the switch version was having motion controls on the pro controller since I didn't usually use the wii u gamepad to play.
I played BotW on Wii U at first because I got hold of a completely legal digital version of it almost two weeks before launch.
This was the first time I heard about the 3D world captain toad levels. Those actually look really cool!
I bought Tokyo Mirage Sessions on Switch as a big Fire Emblem fan who had never played a MegaTen game, and I loved it. It’s VERY anime which isn’t usually for me, but the combat and mechanics were excellent. Great game.
Wasn’t expecting scott "not a RPG guy" to say he likes TMS#
and still no Wind Waker Remake
I remember playing botw on the wii u, was my first experience with the game, im a traditional zelda guy but playing that game as a young kid was magical.
Glad to see Scott's hands got their own channel!
Tokyo Mirage Sessions remains one of my favorite Switch ports. When recommending it to friends, I like to say it's a good gateway game to the Persona series. A nice, lighthearted story that's not super long, and gives you a taste of Persona gameplay with Fire Emblem references. While I especially love the new content added to Encore.
I just wish it included an English dub. This wasn't a problem for me at first, but then Tokyo Mirage Sessions characters were added to Fire Emblem Heroes with new English voices.
Would love to see a sequel someday.
I didn't have a Wii U so I saw the Sheikah slate as a Switch. The case I got for my switch with the BOTW collectors edition kinda helped cement that. This is after years of playing smash 4 on my friends' Wii Us.
Tropical Freeze stings but I suppose that's why I have my Steam Deck
The Windwaker is one of my favorite Zelda games and the HD verson on Wii U made me happy, also Twilight Princess HD... I still waiting the Switch ports so I can finally sell my Wii U
bowsers fury is fantastic, i completioned it right after finishing 3D World and a week later did it again and then again, and just yesterday i did it again. Its just a perfect little add on and is so fun.
I feel Yoshi's Wooley World is the last great Wii U game not to be be ported (though its a shameMario Maker 2 lacked Amiibo characters and levels like the first). Such a great platformer. Loved Kirby and the Rainbow Curse but that requires touchscreen controls so i understand if it'll never get a port.
Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD and Xenoblade Chronicles X say hi
It sort of was with the 3DS port. Still don’t understand why they wouldn’t bring it over to Switch. Same for Paper Mario Colour Splash.
The 3D world port will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember picking this up right after it came out in 2021 and absolutely adoring it. My girlfriend who I had been doing long distance with at the time ended up picking it up as well and we would spend hours on end playing this together everyday over the phone via online play. This game was so monumental for us especially since Covid at the time had still been raging on very strongly so this gave us something fun to do over the phone. We're finally living a normal life together now as we aren't doing long distance anymore but I always look back at this game with great memories. For those who haven't played this game yet I highly suggest as its just an overall good time
I fkn love Scott’s stash because it’s really just him talking about the things he lokes
As a previous Wii U owner, when Switch games came out because they were all Wii U games. Like, they made jump to the Switch only to pay $50 or so bucks to play games I played previously. I homebrewed the shit out of my switch after that disgrace and I had some fun, although I find Switch library to be a little boring except for a few gems. Wii U and 3DS era had very good games.
Still no ports of Star Fox Zero and Xenoblade X
I hope they port tears of the kingdom to the next Nintendo console. The game really needed the extra performance, hopefully it gets a patch to address it soon. But if they can get something that's even close to the current gen in the next console it would run plenty of their first party "next gen" games at 60 fps minimum. Or they need to remake actual classics instead of stuff that was just last gen, it was more than understandable going from the Wii U to the Switch though. But the next console should just be able to take your Nintendo library and emulate it with higher performance than a Switch.
we gotta prey the Switch 2 is backwards compatible
@@quinnkiley9030 If it's not I hope they don't expect people to buy the remakes like they did for the Wii U stuff cause unless someone's just never played the game it's not gonna happen. I'd say backwards compatibility is just as important as the very needed hardware upgrades.
I don't think botw 2 isn't going to be ported to switch successor because it mostly be available at day of the switch successor eshop that same way the dsi games that were available on day one on the 3ds eshop
@@SlyRyFry I mean the hybrid model is here to stay so i imagine the next system is gonna be BC and they'll just throw out next gen updates like sony and ms do.

nintendo: -U for Ultimate
6:04 Hard disagree. Windwaker HD is the definitive version of Windwaker not only because of the enhanced visuals, but the Gamepad inventory management was extremely convenient. It wasn't distracting from the game at all, if anything it was a great quality of life improvement to Windwaker. I cannot imagine playing Windwaker without the Gamepad now. Would've been nice if inventory management was similar in BOTW Wii U.
I got a Wii U recently. Well after I got a Switch. It’s great! I think there are cool point(s) for both Wii U games and their Switch versions.
We should all just be thankful that Nintendo brought all these Wii U games to the Switch as they could’ve just left them to the past and still been absolutely fine. I myself skipped the Wii U which is the only Nintendo console I’ve ever skipped. So having them as better versions on the Switch is amazing!
To me, BotW is a Wii U game, since that's what I & a buddy of mine played it on. I didn't care to buy a "handheld" console, the Switch at the time. Even after I got a Switch I refuse to buy any ports, almost feel cheated by Nintendo because of it.

No reason to own both since Nintendo doesn’t give achievements on their games the Nintendo Switch is more comfortable to play on then on the Wii U maybe when Nintendo starts giving achievements they will be worth buying the same game over again the only games worth buying over again are games like Pac-Man
