Man, I feel old. Not only because of the 10th anniversary of the Wii U, but I was around when you made the Hard-Off video with that Skylanders game in it.
It’s always been sad to me that the Wii U was almost immediately ignored by the mass because it really is as awesome as you say. I worked retail for the first 2 years of its lifespan and can confirm that the general populace just thought of it as a $300 add-on tablet. Sad.
Well the Wii u was marketed in a wrong way and it wasn't marketed as much as the switch which I think it was never that mainstream as the switch. They called it Wii u, I don't blame people thinking it was an add on
So cool to see a video for the Wii U's 10th Anniversary. I would have to say you and Scott the Woz are probably the only people to have this many Wii U games
I started watching your channel almost 10 years ago. I was in love with the Wii U and it was so refreshing to hear you talk so positivly about a system that i also enjoyed. Thanks for your video and keep being awesome!
I don't know why but the framing of this video cracks me up. Im just nervous you were going to hit that Wii U game stack over with your hands. Great video as always
Big fan of this kind of video, thanks for taking the time to make it happen! Would love to see more like it with your other sets and also maybe a separate video with any weird accessories or demo discs that you have related to the Wii U or other systems too.
It's routinely both vindicating and a little sad to bring friends over who never touched the Wii U, have them play some party games like Game & Wario and Nintendo Land, and then have them say "This is awesome, I totally get it now". To this day I keep the Wii U hooked up as a party machine and to play Xenoblade X. Hugely underrated and misunderstood console, much like the Dreamcast!
This is so freaking awesome that you did this!! I specifically requested this and it was so nice to see that you actually did it :) You are one of my favorite channels so this means a lot to me :)
Hard to believe it's already been 10 years, remember getting the Mario 3D World bundle in 2015 and having a great time with local multiplayer on Smash Bros, Mario kart and Nintendoland. Would love to see more videos like this, keep it up Adam!
Adam, please do this type of video for other consoles you've completed and, in the future, if you complete others. I enjoyed this a lot. Not just because I'm a Nintendo fanboy either. I genuinely find videos like this interesting and entertaining. Thank you.
42:24 Well, you could say the level of polish was exclusive. Considering the X360/PS3/PC versions were super buggy. :P But if you wanna know, I'll tell you - the Wii U has an exclusive augment which lets you see the health bars of enemies & bosses. Yup. That's about it. Honestly, the other versions probably didn't have it because they were a rush job and the augment required the Wii U the gyroscope screen thingy. And they didn't have the time to re-program it.
I finally picked up a Wii U just a week ago. I really like it so far, I modded mine and have been enjoying GameCube games on the gamepad while laying in bed. Great stuff Adam!
Wii U rules. I’ve pretty much got all the rare stuff knocked out of the way as well as all first party titles. About half of the physical collection is complete in my library. The other half is pretty much just the more common stuff with the exception of turbo stunt squad. Anyway, congratulations on your completed collection, Adam!
I remember getting a Wii U for Christmas as my first big new console after I started out on the Wii and 360, Those were better days. Love this thing, deserved more love than it got as a system. Also love videos like this! Keep it up man!
Getting the Wii U with Mario Maker on christmas is one of the few times as an adult that really captured the feeling again of being a kid getting his Wii, DS, Dreamcast, GBA, Gamecube or N64 for the first time. funny cause i had hesitated to buy the Wii U for years, and even today, it wasn't a good investment if we're talking rationally. That's the power of Nintendo.
5:44 I'm one of the people that played the Wii as a child and is now 20 years old and watching this video. I can confirm that, yes, we did think it was the greatest thing ever. I see its flaws now, but I still have a soft spot for it. Genuinely thought that the Wii Remote was magic back then lol. Later on, Wii U was basically the console of my middle school years. Wasn't able to get one when it was new (parents fell victim to the poor marketing. Wouldn't get one because they just thought it was a Wii with a tablet), but I played it a lot at store kiosks and at friends' houses. I've finally got one after all these years and I love it. Truly a misunderstood console. Author's Note: I've been watching you since I was 9 years old. Just wanted to say that I'm glad that you're still here on UA-cam. Author's Note 2: Yeah the Monster High thing was pretty big when I was a kid. Was kinda fading away in popularity once those Wii U games came out funnily enough. It came out in 2010 and has already been rebooted twice. Whether or not that is good or bad is up for interpretation lol.
Holy S*** So many Wii U games I can't believe it's been 10 Years since the Wii U came out, it's nice to see i'm not the only one who defends the Wii U. Nintendo 3DS and Wii U was Nintendo at it's best and even at it's peak of creativity and it was the Nintendo consoles that had personality behind them both, something that don't see with the Switch. Wii U 10 Years I still have it I will still use it
My favorite type of Adam video: the one in which he talks about the history of the console while showing the games. I wasn’t expecting to see the whole Wii U collection but I’m glad you showed, because that’s not common.
I feel like the Wii U will gain a reputation similar to the GameCube, where people will retroactively love it, despite it getting trashed back and forth when it was relevant. It did have a small but neat game library in my opinion, helps that Nintendo was essentially the lone developer / publisher for it by the end.
Yeah and those people who trashed the cube in it’s heyday (when I genuinely loved it in it’s heyday) will Never admit it either which is hilarious when you can clearly see that they all bought PS2 and some Xboxes 😂 oh well I’m glad Someone remembers
@@daysaverproductions yes during 2000 era ps2 storm blown away every other console ...ps2 was a rage everyone was talking about it ..the massive upgrade of gaming graphics from ps1 and the gaming device along with dvd player!!!
Cool video. Definitely liked hearing about the history of some of the games and their relevance today. Take care and definitely any other full sets you have would be nice to go through imo.
1:48:17 No, Yoshi's Wooly World has not been ported to Switch yet, and in my opinion it is probably the best Wii U game of the ones that have not yet been ported to Switch, and thus one of the best reasons to own a Wii U today. It's actually a very really great little platformer and is very underrated if you ask me, and I say that as someone who doesn't really like the Yoshi series of platformers overall. Definitely the best one since the original Yoshi's Island on the Super Nintendo. It does have a 3DS port however which holds up better then you might expect and has extra content, but I believe it still runs at 30FPS rather than 60, and of course it's limited to that 240p resolution so the Wii U is still the definitive edition in my opinion.
In a way, the Wii U has increasingly become another Dreamcast for me. It's that console that flopped horribly, which has aged extremely well. Nintendo got a lot of things wrong with it, but they also got a lot right. I literally never find myself going back to play my old Wii console, but I still play my Wii U all the time. It is kinda cool that the size of the library is small enough that you can still get a complete set at a (relatively) reasonable price - at least compared to most consoles. I've been growing my collection this year and now up to 43 games, or around 1/4th of the library. I would like to get a complete North American set, at some point.
I take it no Mrs claws this year ? That atmoic heart coming to Xbox looks cool any your looking forward to ? Have a great Christmas and happy New year. Your show changed myself for the better and continues to do so and yes this is Paul Doake I'm using my real name now Paul Bedassie. Happy Christmas to our mum's r.i.p.
Since you talked about this on the birthday livestream, I’ve been anticipating this. Can’t wait to sit back and enjoy this discussion about a hidden gem of a console
Don't forget Astro's Playroom, that game was bundled with the PS5 on launch. A lot of people ignore it and call it a tech demo, but apparently its a fun game!
Just bought a Wii U on EBay to add to my collection. I know the prices are going up, especially since it didn’t sell well in the past. I did. have one when it was still relevant but sold it soon after I got it due to me moving and I couldn’t take it. I loved the console back then and can’t wait to add it to my collection!
The Wii is already starting to become a very nostalgic console with prices skyrocketing, just wait a few more years when the nostalgia for the Wii U skyrockets and is just as expensive as the GameCube.
Can't believe your 7th gen recap will be 10 roughly a year from now. Can't wait for 8th gen recap and I hope you do more videos like this on the Wii U and on other consoles as well.
Amazing Collection man! Wii U was the lost console for me It was like I blinked and went from WII to a Switch. Very crazy but time just flys by now. Love your channel glad I found it.
I've probably got 15 Wii U games. I'll get more, but only if the prices are low - as I'll probably never get round to playing them. Got my Wii U in 2016 and it's great, but I've played it very little. The Switch being more powerful AND portable was a genius move. If my Wii U could live with my laptop in a bag when I travelled, I'd have played all of my games through by now. AWESOME COLLECTION! There are some real gems on that system.
Thank you for doing this video, the Wii U deserves more love and recognition. By the way, your Italian pronounciation at the Wii Fit game is not bad at all. =)
This is such a great idea for a video, and knowing you have the full DC set, I would love one for that, maybe even split it up by region in that case. I also really enjoy how much info you have on the quirks/nuisances on the titles
Man, I really enjoyed the WiiU. I bought one at launch, and I have just bought my third one. I finally bought the basic console, complete in-box. That is the white system.
I'm glad to see a complete collection here, its amazing how small it really is, I still really like the WiiU overall and keep my mine hooked up, the absolute best thing about it is it's hacking and emulation abilities. Once you open it up it plays almost every system pretty well, along with a dozen or so still exclusive Wii U games definitely the biggest reason to buy one now
Satoru Iwata was the best. I still tear up when I finish GameCube games and see his name in the credits. He was what a video game CEO should be, a gamer first. He'd be so happy to see the 114 million smiles the Switch has brought.
If I recall correctly I was a year late to the Wii U (bought it for Xmas 2013). Once I got it me and the family really enjoyed it. That controller, though...
Awesome video. I got my Wii U a few months after launch. Loved the console, lots of good memories. It's a shame it didn't do better. Zombi U I've played through many times both on Wii U and on the Xbox version, just replayed it recently on Wii U. I love that game, it's so underated. Has a permadeath mode too that I need to try. And I put 2000+ hours in smash 4, played it in tourneys and such regularly when I was younger. I did pick up shakedown hawaii when it was sold on limited run, glad I did. I'm really kicking myself for not picking up some games that are now really expensive...like Twilight Princess HD, Xenoblade X and Game and Wario.
I think the reason there was never a DS adapter for the Wii U is because they sold DS games digitally on the Wii U eShop. Selling individual DS games digitally probably made a lot more money for them compared to releasing an adapter that played every DS game. It's similar to Sony selling PS1 and PS2 games digitally instead of making their consoles backwards compatible like Microsoft does.
Loved that you paid tribute the former legendary Nintendo ceo that founded hal labs, i forgot his name, i think the wiiu was his last console but i am not sure thanks for the video. Oh and make sure zumba still working it might be worth tons of money one day 😜
Hi Adam. Been watching you since you made the gamerade video on transferring xbox 360 saves in 2012. Just wanted to say that I enjoyed this video alot and would love to see more of your complete sets. Merry Christmas from Sweden.
5:02 In the GameCube's defense, at least for EA, it got almost every yearly iteration of Madden, FIFA, NHL, NBA, MLB, etc, as well as a lot of other sports games from other companies. They probably never sold super well, but apparently okay enough at least. I still maintain the GameCube has the best third party support of any Nintendo console between the SNES and Switch.
I bought a Nintendo 3DS XL and Mario kart 7 in January of 2016 this was the first Nintendo system I owned since the N64 and also first handheld system I ever owned and I had so much fun playing it that I bought a Wii-U black system with Mario Kart 8 bundled three weeks later and I don't regret it even with the Switch coming out one year later.
Man really loved this video. It felt like 30 minutes and went buy so fast. Love the wii u and like more then the switch and only want to play it on wii u if they are on both bc the og version was on the wii u. Have 73 wii u titles and hope to get a full set like you one day. Also would like to see more of these videos. This is why I love your channel and no one does videos like this. Great way to honor the wii u. Great video
I’m a big fan of both Adam and the Wii U. I remember Adam showed the full set only for the Dreamcast so far. The greatest honour for Wii U, I guess, it deserves it. It’s a huge surprise and goes beyond my wildest dreams😮
25:34 And that’s the reason why I got lucky for finding Art Academy physically in a video game shop in France aswell for owning my Wii U European Pal version since Christmas 2014. Better buying physically when it’s still possible to buy at low price than digitally.🍀
Man, not only am I shocked to find that you have a complete Wii U game collection, but I actually took this time to watch this video all the way. Never thought I would do this, but I…actually did. Adam sir, your voice is music to my ears!
@@AdamKoralik If want to know what was Nintendo thinking with Starfox Zero, pay attention. SF zero is up there with F-zero GX and Mario Lost Levels as one of the couple Nintendo games that is extremely demanding on the player. What you have to do is go to training mode and experiment with controls for 8 hours at least, because they are that complicated. You can also use the minus button to Swap cockpit view to the TV screen and back again, so you don't have to use the two screens. The reason for the motion controls is that it allows you to aim independently from the direction of the ship, you can't do that in SF 64. Meaning you have more aiming options, but you have to be creative to use them. If you have friend, there's co-op mode which is less complicated than single player. The game maybe short, but ranking system encourages players to replay levels over and over for higher scores in the same fashion as an 90's arcade game. However unless it's co-op mode I'm not sure if most of the gold ranks are fair to get?? So if you can get silver ranks by yourself I say thats good enough.
Great video Adam, I just watched the entire thing without any skipping. I actually thought I had a complete Wii U collection this entire time, but I never knew about Skylanders Spyro being released in Japan. I'm going to have to hunt one down now. If you ever see one in Japan please pick it up for me. I did notice in my collection I had a few games you did not show. Most likely they could just be variants, which I Know you said was not the point of the video, 1.Art Academy Home Studio (This is a JPN release with cats on the front) I know you said that Art Academy was a Europe only release, could this be a JPN version ? 2.The next one is probably the Family Party 30 Games, but it still slightly different as it has 35 games on it. You said the Simply Party Vol 1- That seems to be it, but not sure if all the game are the same. Let me know what you think.
This was a pretty cool video! I believe you have shown your DreamCast collection before, but that one and maybe sega saturn (because I am a sucker for that system) would be awesome!
To answer your question, YES! Do more of these types of videos. For the other complete collections you currently have, add it to the list of to-do videos. As you complete collections, do videos of those too! I loved the WiiU. I think I actually had a better time with the WiiU than the Switch. Without getting too deep, its because most of the Mario IP's are just WiiU ports that I already enjoyed on the WiiU. I got the WiiU late in the game (December 2015 for Christmas). There was a period of time I didn't really play video games, so for years, I had no idea about the console's sales or people's impressions and opinions about the WiiU. I went into the WiiU without any bias or influence. I remember booting up Mario Kart 8 for the first time and just being amazed how cool the tracks were and how the graphics were so much better than Mario Kart Wii. It wasn't until later that after watching videos on UA-cam of people talking about the WiiU (it actually may have been an older video of yours), I didn't realize it didn't do well.
I had the wii u from 2015-2017 and loved it. But i only had a few games. I had mario kart 8, bayonetta 2, fast racing neo (digital), star fox and pokemon x tekken😅
Man this video should have more views. One of your best videos. Thanks so I know what to look for the European and Japanese releases. Have 79 wii u games now so almost half way there for America.
This is the kind of video that slowly adds views over time. I don't think I've ever had a video with explosive success on this channel. Just sleeper hits.
Excited to watch this. Just got my first Wii U a couple months ago and have pretty much only played a bit of Mario Kart 8 thus far, and have no real knowledge of the system or library. Except that I picked up Wind Waker HD (don’t own on GC) and will hopefully be able to pick up a copy of Xenoblade soon
Nintendo Switch is a handheld imho. While the Switch has tablet chip/RAM/storage, Xbox One and PS4 had desktop PC CPU/GPU/RAM/storage. Of all the mainstream consoles in your generation recaps, I can't recall such a power difference between consoles.
I insist you get a complete Switch collection now to one day sit for an entire day showing off the thousands of obscure physical Switch titles to a camera.
got incredible memories of the wii u. i was in middle school when it came out and i remember me and maybe two or three other dudes were basically the only ones in my whole school who had one. hard era to be a nintendo fan, but we had a great time nonetheless. got a ps4 like a year later and stopped playing my wii u for the most part, but i'll always appreciate the memories it gave.
The Wii U is the only Nintendo console I own! Its a great console with a fabulous if small library of titles for it, many of which were recyled years later on the Switch as AAA full price titles, Mario Kart 8 was a Wii U title and is still a best seller (with an upgrade) on Switch!
If you do more consoles I would love to see a couple clips of the games. You could over lay it as you talk. I know it would be more work but it would add an amazing quality to the video. In my opinion.
I was thinking 2023 was going to be the year that I don't start off playing the Wii U, then I got back into WindWaker HD and I know I will continue that trend for yet another year. There are so many games that are exclusive or play best on the Wii U that it remains the only other console (along with one of my Switch's) that is permanently plugged in - Aforementioned WWHD, Toad's Treasure Tracker, Xenoblade X, Fatal Frame, Rayman Legends, Mario Maker, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, ZombiU and more. When playing games like Ace Attorney or any of the DS remakes on the Switch I am constantly reminded of "what might have been" as those would have worked beautifully with the Gamepad working as one screen and the TV as the other, but Nintendo just didn't go down that road for some reason. Edit: TMS: SHARP FE. Like the musical symbol. Awesome video, you know your stuff, so surprised to hear that mistake.

@@Sneaky_racoon_sly no i don't
It would be cool to see more videos like this.
“Wii U 2 years later” was the first video by you that I ever watched and I instantly bought one after watching it lol
0:11
Dang dude. Happy to see it, but I didn't expect that wall of Wii U games early in this video.
The Wii U laid the foundation for the Switch. For that, it should always be remembered.
It has. Theyve did an excellent job in separating themselves from the norm, and getting any decent ports of multiplatform games in the process.
It has. Even haters admit that without it the Switch wouldn't be a success.
I remember watching your updates on this collection from like 4-5 years ago, and here you are. Good work, Adam!
Man, I feel old. Not only because of the 10th anniversary of the Wii U, but I was around when you made the Hard-Off video with that Skylanders game in it.
It’s always been sad to me that the Wii U was almost immediately ignored by the mass because it really is as awesome as you say. I worked retail for the first 2 years of its lifespan and can confirm that the general populace just thought of it as a $300 add-on tablet. Sad.
Well the Wii u was marketed in a wrong way and it wasn't marketed as much as the switch which I think it was never that mainstream as the switch. They called it Wii u, I don't blame people thinking it was an add on
So cool to see a video for the Wii U's 10th Anniversary. I would have to say you and Scott the Woz are probably the only people to have this many Wii U games
I started watching your channel almost 10 years ago. I was in love with the Wii U and it was so refreshing to hear you talk so positivly about a system that i also enjoyed. Thanks for your video and keep being awesome!
I don't know why but the framing of this video cracks me up. Im just nervous you were going to hit that Wii U game stack over with your hands. Great video as always
Big fan of this kind of video, thanks for taking the time to make it happen! Would love to see more like it with your other sets and also maybe a separate video with any weird accessories or demo discs that you have related to the Wii U or other systems too.
It's routinely both vindicating and a little sad to bring friends over who never touched the Wii U, have them play some party games like Game & Wario and Nintendo Land, and then have them say "This is awesome, I totally get it now". To this day I keep the Wii U hooked up as a party machine and to play Xenoblade X. Hugely underrated and misunderstood console, much like the Dreamcast!
This is so freaking awesome that you did this!! I specifically requested this and it was so nice to see that you actually did it :) You are one of my favorite channels so this means a lot to me :)
Hard to believe it's already been 10 years, remember getting the Mario 3D World bundle in 2015 and having a great time with local multiplayer on Smash Bros, Mario kart and Nintendoland.
Would love to see more videos like this, keep it up Adam!
Adam, please do this type of video for other consoles you've completed and, in the future, if you complete others. I enjoyed this a lot. Not just because I'm a Nintendo fanboy either. I genuinely find videos like this interesting and entertaining. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this, I'm just getting into collecting for WiiU so the quick summaries were great- Please do more of these!
42:24 Well, you could say the level of polish was exclusive. Considering the X360/PS3/PC versions were super buggy. :P
But if you wanna know, I'll tell you - the Wii U has an exclusive augment which lets you see the health bars of enemies & bosses. Yup. That's about it. Honestly, the other versions probably didn't have it because they were a rush job and the augment required the Wii U the gyroscope screen thingy. And they didn't have the time to re-program it.
I finally picked up a Wii U just a week ago. I really like it so far, I modded mine and have been enjoying GameCube games on the gamepad while laying in bed. Great stuff Adam!
Wii U rules. I’ve pretty much got all the rare stuff knocked out of the way as well as all first party titles. About half of the physical collection is complete in my library. The other half is pretty much just the more common stuff with the exception of turbo stunt squad. Anyway, congratulations on your completed collection, Adam!
I remember getting a Wii U for Christmas as my first big new console after I started out on the Wii and 360, Those were better days. Love this thing, deserved more love than it got as a system. Also love videos like this! Keep it up man!
Getting the Wii U with Mario Maker on christmas is one of the few times as an adult that really captured the feeling again of being a kid getting his Wii, DS, Dreamcast, GBA, Gamecube or N64 for the first time. funny cause i had hesitated to buy the Wii U for years, and even today, it wasn't a good investment if we're talking rationally. That's the power of Nintendo.
Same
I like that you can pick out the yellow box from the entire collection and know its Super Mario Maker.
5:44 I'm one of the people that played the Wii as a child and is now 20 years old and watching this video. I can confirm that, yes, we did think it was the greatest thing ever. I see its flaws now, but I still have a soft spot for it. Genuinely thought that the Wii Remote was magic back then lol. Later on, Wii U was basically the console of my middle school years. Wasn't able to get one when it was new (parents fell victim to the poor marketing. Wouldn't get one because they just thought it was a Wii with a tablet), but I played it a lot at store kiosks and at friends' houses. I've finally got one after all these years and I love it. Truly a misunderstood console.
Author's Note: I've been watching you since I was 9 years old. Just wanted to say that I'm glad that you're still here on UA-cam.
Author's Note 2: Yeah the Monster High thing was pretty big when I was a kid. Was kinda fading away in popularity once those Wii U games came out funnily enough. It came out in 2010 and has already been rebooted twice. Whether or not that is good or bad is up for interpretation lol.
Holy S***
So many Wii U games
I can't believe it's been 10 Years since the Wii U came out, it's nice to see i'm not the only one who defends the Wii U. Nintendo 3DS and Wii U was Nintendo at it's best and even at it's peak of creativity and it was the Nintendo consoles that had personality behind them both, something that don't see with the Switch.
Wii U
10 Years
I still have it
I will still use it
My favorite type of Adam video: the one in which he talks about the history of the console while showing the games. I wasn’t expecting to see the whole Wii U collection but I’m glad you showed, because that’s not common.
I feel like the Wii U will gain a reputation similar to the GameCube, where people will retroactively love it, despite it getting trashed back and forth when it was relevant. It did have a small but neat game library in my opinion, helps that Nintendo was essentially the lone developer / publisher for it by the end.
Yeah and those people who trashed the cube in it’s heyday (when I genuinely loved it in it’s heyday) will
Never admit it either which is hilarious when you can clearly see that they all bought PS2 and some
Xboxes 😂 oh well I’m glad
Someone remembers
Exactly. This has already happened if you ask younger people who grew up in that time.
@@daysaverproductions yes during 2000 era ps2 storm blown away every other console ...ps2 was a rage everyone was talking about it ..the massive upgrade of gaming graphics from ps1 and the gaming device along with dvd player!!!
Cool video. Definitely liked hearing about the history of some of the games and their relevance today. Take care and definitely any other full sets you have would be nice to go through imo.
1:48:17 No, Yoshi's Wooly World has not been ported to Switch yet, and in my opinion it is probably the best Wii U game of the ones that have not yet been ported to Switch, and thus one of the best reasons to own a Wii U today. It's actually a very really great little platformer and is very underrated if you ask me, and I say that as someone who doesn't really like the Yoshi series of platformers overall. Definitely the best one since the original Yoshi's Island on the Super Nintendo.
It does have a 3DS port however which holds up better then you might expect and has extra content, but I believe it still runs at 30FPS rather than 60, and of course it's limited to that 240p resolution so the Wii U is still the definitive edition in my opinion.
Finally had time to watch great collection ❤
In a way, the Wii U has increasingly become another Dreamcast for me. It's that console that flopped horribly, which has aged extremely well. Nintendo got a lot of things wrong with it, but they also got a lot right. I literally never find myself going back to play my old Wii console, but I still play my Wii U all the time. It is kinda cool that the size of the library is small enough that you can still get a complete set at a (relatively) reasonable price - at least compared to most consoles. I've been growing my collection this year and now up to 43 games, or around 1/4th of the library. I would like to get a complete North American set, at some point.
I love my Wii u but you already know that
I take it no Mrs claws this year ? That atmoic heart coming to Xbox looks cool any your looking forward to ? Have a great Christmas and happy New year. Your show changed myself for the better and continues to do so and yes this is Paul Doake I'm using my real name now Paul Bedassie. Happy Christmas to our mum's r.i.p.
"The Nintendo Switch is an 8th gen console." I'm soooo glad you actually understand that!
Found a Wii U euro exclusive and wondered if Adam had this… then proceeded to chuckle at the absurdity of that question!!!
Since you talked about this on the birthday livestream, I’ve been anticipating this. Can’t wait to sit back and enjoy this discussion about a hidden gem of a console
Don't forget Astro's Playroom, that game was bundled with the PS5 on launch. A lot of people ignore it and call it a tech demo, but apparently its a fun game!
I don't count digital titles. Nintendoland was physically bundled in.
Great vid mate! picked up my Wii U second hand for $100 AUD about 12 months ago, homebrew'd this thing is incredible (you're right, the time is now!)
Just bought a Wii U on EBay to add to my collection. I know the prices are going up, especially since it didn’t sell well in the past. I did. have one when it was still relevant but sold it soon after I got it due to me moving and I couldn’t take it. I loved the console back then and can’t wait to add it to my collection!
The Wii is already starting to become a very nostalgic console with prices skyrocketing, just wait a few more years when the nostalgia for the Wii U skyrockets and is just as expensive as the GameCube.
i know its not easy to do videos like this, but i really enjoy it, a full review to a entire colection.
Can't believe your 7th gen recap will be 10 roughly a year from now. Can't wait for 8th gen recap and I hope you do more videos like this on the Wii U and on other consoles as well.
It depresses me that this is true.
@@AdamKoralik Just think about all the cool shit you've seen and done in that 10 years and try and still be depressed :)
Amazing Collection man! Wii U was the lost console for me It was like I blinked and went from WII to a Switch. Very crazy but time just flys by now. Love your channel glad I found it.
I've probably got 15 Wii U games.
I'll get more, but only if the prices are low - as I'll probably never get round to playing them.
Got my Wii U in 2016 and it's great, but I've played it very little. The Switch being more powerful AND portable was a genius move.
If my Wii U could live with my laptop in a bag when I travelled, I'd have played all of my games through by now.
AWESOME COLLECTION! There are some real gems on that system.
This made my Saturday. Thank you Adam
Thank you for doing this video, the Wii U deserves more love and recognition. By the way, your Italian pronounciation at the Wii Fit game is not bad at all. =)
This is such a great idea for a video, and knowing you have the full DC set, I would love one for that, maybe even split it up by region in that case. I also really enjoy how much info you have on the quirks/nuisances on the titles
Man, I really enjoyed the WiiU. I bought one at launch, and I have just bought my third one. I finally bought the basic console, complete in-box. That is the white system.
:)
I'm glad to see a complete collection here, its amazing how small it really is, I still really like the WiiU overall and keep my mine hooked up, the absolute best thing about it is it's hacking and emulation abilities. Once you open it up it plays almost every system pretty well, along with a dozen or so still exclusive Wii U games definitely the biggest reason to buy one now
Satoru Iwata was the best. I still tear up when I finish GameCube games and see his name in the credits. He was what a video game CEO should be, a gamer first. He'd be so happy to see the 114 million smiles the Switch has brought.
I miss Mr. Iwata
1:21:31 I played through Color Splash in January this year, it was a really fun time.
Great video, adam. I love my wii u, and I'm glad to have my collection of games for it, even though most have been brought over to the switch.
I'm like "WAIT, TEN YEARS??????!!!!!!!", in my mind it was more like three or four years ago.
One of my favorite videos!
The legend back in the house! Thanks man
It’s interesting that Yuji Naka was a producer for Rodeo The Sky Soldier.
I was able to get my hands on one with 11 great games and controllers for $100. Its a pretty good system.
If I recall correctly I was a year late to the Wii U (bought it for Xmas 2013). Once I got it me and the family really enjoyed it. That controller, though...
Good to see you still going strong Adam. This video was great to watch/listen to. Keep it up man been a viewer forever now
Thanks for watching!
@@AdamKoralik 🥂
Awesome video. I got my Wii U a few months after launch. Loved the console, lots of good memories. It's a shame it didn't do better. Zombi U I've played through many times both on Wii U and on the Xbox version, just replayed it recently on Wii U. I love that game, it's so underated. Has a permadeath mode too that I need to try. And I put 2000+ hours in smash 4, played it in tourneys and such regularly when I was younger. I did pick up shakedown hawaii when it was sold on limited run, glad I did. I'm really kicking myself for not picking up some games that are now really expensive...like Twilight Princess HD, Xenoblade X and Game and Wario.
My God Adam really did it !!! a full set.
And watched most of the way to it ( both individual videos and this omnibus )
I think the reason there was never a DS adapter for the Wii U is because they sold DS games digitally on the Wii U eShop. Selling individual DS games digitally probably made a lot more money for them compared to releasing an adapter that played every DS game. It's similar to Sony selling PS1 and PS2 games digitally instead of making their consoles backwards compatible like Microsoft does.
Loved that you paid tribute the former legendary Nintendo ceo that founded hal labs, i forgot his name, i think the wiiu was his last console but i am not sure thanks for the video. Oh and make sure zumba still working it might be worth tons of money one day 😜
Hi Adam. Been watching you since you made the gamerade video on transferring xbox 360 saves in 2012. Just wanted to say that I enjoyed this video alot and would love to see more of your complete sets. Merry Christmas from Sweden.
Thanks dude!
5:02 In the GameCube's defense, at least for EA, it got almost every yearly iteration of Madden, FIFA, NHL, NBA, MLB, etc, as well as a lot of other sports games from other companies. They probably never sold super well, but apparently okay enough at least. I still maintain the GameCube has the best third party support of any Nintendo console between the SNES and Switch.
I bought a Nintendo 3DS XL and Mario kart 7 in January of 2016 this was the first Nintendo system I owned since the N64 and also first handheld system I ever owned and I had so much fun playing it that I bought a Wii-U black system with Mario Kart 8 bundled three weeks later and I don't regret it even with the Switch coming out one year later.
Man really loved this video. It felt like 30 minutes and went buy so fast. Love the wii u and like more then the switch and only want to play it on wii u if they are on both bc the og version was on the wii u. Have 73 wii u titles and hope to get a full set like you one day. Also would like to see more of these videos. This is why I love your channel and no one does videos like this. Great way to honor the wii u. Great video
I’m a big fan of both Adam and the Wii U. I remember Adam showed the full set only for the Dreamcast so far. The greatest honour for Wii U, I guess, it deserves it. It’s a huge surprise and goes beyond my wildest dreams😮
A Feature Length film on the Wii U. In glorious 4k.
25:34 And that’s the reason why I got lucky for finding Art Academy physically in a video game shop in France aswell for owning my Wii U European Pal version since Christmas 2014. Better buying physically when it’s still possible to buy at low price than digitally.🍀
Man, not only am I shocked to find that you have a complete Wii U game collection, but I actually took this time to watch this video all the way. Never thought I would do this, but I…actually did. Adam sir, your voice is music to my ears!
My pleasure!
@@AdamKoralik If want to know what was Nintendo thinking with Starfox Zero, pay attention. SF zero is up there with F-zero GX and Mario Lost Levels as one of the couple Nintendo games that is extremely demanding on the player. What you have to do is go to training mode and experiment with controls for 8 hours at least, because they are that complicated. You can also use the minus button to Swap cockpit view to the TV screen and back again, so you don't have to use the two screens. The reason for the motion controls is that it allows you to aim independently from the direction of the ship, you can't do that in SF 64. Meaning you have more aiming options, but you have to be creative to use them.
If you have friend, there's co-op mode which is less complicated than single player.
The game maybe short, but ranking system encourages players to replay levels over and over for higher scores in the same fashion as an 90's arcade game. However unless it's co-op mode I'm not sure if most of the gold ranks are fair to get?? So if you can get silver ranks by yourself I say thats good enough.
Great video Adam, I just watched the entire thing without any skipping. I actually thought I had a complete Wii U collection this entire time, but I never knew about Skylanders Spyro being released in Japan. I'm going to have to hunt one down now. If you ever see one in Japan please pick it up for me.
I did notice in my collection I had a few games you did not show.
Most likely they could just be variants, which I Know you said was not the point of the video,
1.Art Academy Home Studio (This is a JPN release with cats on the front) I know you said that Art Academy was a Europe only release, could this be a JPN version ?
2.The next one is probably the Family Party 30 Games, but it still slightly different as it has 35 games on it.
You said the Simply Party Vol 1- That seems to be it, but not sure if all the game are the same.
Let me know what you think.
Yeah, same games, just different regions.
This was a pretty cool video!
I believe you have shown your DreamCast collection before, but that one and maybe sega saturn (because I am a sucker for that system) would be awesome!
Saturn is ultra hard to get a full set. You’d have to be Elon Musk or MrBeast if you want to buy those games.
To answer your question, YES! Do more of these types of videos. For the other complete collections you currently have, add it to the list of to-do videos. As you complete collections, do videos of those too!
I loved the WiiU. I think I actually had a better time with the WiiU than the Switch. Without getting too deep, its because most of the Mario IP's are just WiiU ports that I already enjoyed on the WiiU. I got the WiiU late in the game (December 2015 for Christmas). There was a period of time I didn't really play video games, so for years, I had no idea about the console's sales or people's impressions and opinions about the WiiU. I went into the WiiU without any bias or influence. I remember booting up Mario Kart 8 for the first time and just being amazed how cool the tracks were and how the graphics were so much better than Mario Kart Wii.
It wasn't until later that after watching videos on UA-cam of people talking about the WiiU (it actually may have been an older video of yours), I didn't realize it didn't do well.
I had the wii u from 2015-2017 and loved it. But i only had a few games. I had mario kart 8, bayonetta 2, fast racing neo (digital), star fox and pokemon x tekken😅
Yes more full set videos
Man this video should have more views. One of your best videos. Thanks so I know what to look for the European and Japanese releases. Have 79 wii u games now so almost half way there for America.
This is the kind of video that slowly adds views over time. I don't think I've ever had a video with explosive success on this channel. Just sleeper hits.
Crazy to think that the Wii U is now almost as old as the GameCube was then.
Love it. Was looking for a video just like this. Just got a Wii U. Wish I got it ten years ago
11:25 I was expecting the woman working in Target to recognize you because she watches your videos and scream *"FIGURE IT OUT, ADAM!"*
this was my favorite system from the era
Excited to watch this. Just got my first Wii U a couple months ago and have pretty much only played a bit of Mario Kart 8 thus far, and have no real knowledge of the system or library. Except that I picked up Wind Waker HD (don’t own on GC) and will hopefully be able to pick up a copy of Xenoblade soon
Where did you get the Wii U cleaning kit?
Hard Off, Japanese store.
@@AdamKoralik Thanks!
Cool video, I don’t think you have to limit yourself to complete sets. It’d be cool to see what games you have in your collection.
Just picked up one for my family to replace their Wii and I'm way more excited about it now that I've used it then I ever thought I would be.
Nintendo Switch is a handheld imho. While the Switch has tablet chip/RAM/storage, Xbox One and PS4 had desktop PC CPU/GPU/RAM/storage. Of all the mainstream consoles in your generation recaps, I can't recall such a power difference between consoles.
I insist you get a complete Switch collection now to one day sit for an entire day showing off the thousands of obscure physical Switch titles to a camera.
I shall have to pass.
got incredible memories of the wii u. i was in middle school when it came out and i remember me and maybe two or three other dudes were basically the only ones in my whole school who had one. hard era to be a nintendo fan, but we had a great time nonetheless. got a ps4 like a year later and stopped playing my wii u for the most part, but i'll always appreciate the memories it gave.
Your wii u recap and predictions video was the first time I watched your channel. I was interested in watching your payload getting new wii u games.
The Wii U is the only Nintendo console I own! Its a great console with a fabulous if small library of titles for it, many of which were recyled years later on the Switch as AAA full price titles, Mario Kart 8 was a Wii U title and is still a best seller (with an upgrade) on Switch!
Now THIS is content.
The Wii U is still my number one console, until BOTW2 comes out I won't buy a Switch.
Wii U is the favorite video game console that i own!. it is sad that it wasn't more successful.
I felt the same about Nintendo and the Wii/Wiiu back then. To the point that i bought a second hand WiiU not a brand new one like the usual
Adam what other consoles do you have complete libraries for besides the Dreamcast and Wii U?
Dreamcast and Jaguar CD.
If you do more consoles I would love to see a couple clips of the games. You could over lay it as you talk. I know it would be more work but it would add an amazing quality to the video. In my opinion.
Are you still going to do a separate Wii U Recap for the 8th Gen series or do you consider this to be that?
That's the plan.
Epic. Please do a dreamcast version.
I don't have that many Wii U games myself, but back in the day I did enjoy the console quite a bit. Really cool to see every game here!
I was thinking 2023 was going to be the year that I don't start off playing the Wii U, then I got back into WindWaker HD and I know I will continue that trend for yet another year. There are so many games that are exclusive or play best on the Wii U that it remains the only other console (along with one of my Switch's) that is permanently plugged in - Aforementioned WWHD, Toad's Treasure Tracker, Xenoblade X, Fatal Frame, Rayman Legends, Mario Maker, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, ZombiU and more.
When playing games like Ace Attorney or any of the DS remakes on the Switch I am constantly reminded of "what might have been" as those would have worked beautifully with the Gamepad working as one screen and the TV as the other, but Nintendo just didn't go down that road for some reason.
Edit: TMS: SHARP FE. Like the musical symbol. Awesome video, you know your stuff, so surprised to hear that mistake.
Matt Damon rocks the WiiU.
