My old Wii is long gone, but I remember turning it on one day and going to the message board to find messages from both my parents. I forget the exact details, but they were nice messages for me. It was nice to go there after doing something in Wii Sports and seeing both my parents left notes for me
@MLT Hall Of Famer I’m sure a Tomodachi for the switch would work pretty similarly to one on the 3DS. Plus, Nintendo would most likely add some new fun features to a sequel.
Amusingly enough, the feature Iwata originally intended as a light parental control backfired in my house. Because I'm a stickler for notification lights, I would always check the playtime just to get rid of it. You can imagine 4th grade me's confusion when I started finding this weird game I didn't even own on there. Well, it turns out my dad had bought Metroid Prime 3 for himself, and had been playing it after I went to bed. He didn't want to show me because he thought I might be too young based on the rating, but he was forced to let me watch after I figured it out. The feature that was meant to bust the child busted the parent instead!
@@NatetheNintendofan Maybe my comment is worth rereading because I don't believe I said scary anywhere. Regardless of that, my dad was the one who judged what games I got to play and his first thing was to (responsibly) check the ESRB rating.

THE STARTUP DISC FILES HAVE FINALLY BEEN FOUND, THE HUNT IS OFFICIALLY OVER edit: the disc itself is still lost to this day though... but this is HUGE! Once again, the Nintendo gigaleak saves the day
i think i found a youtube video of a random guy having the startup disk when i asked my brother he said that he had a wii startup disk left in my old appartment, he pretty much had to use it to download the NAND files which i guess is 3.0 or 2.0. could be a lie tho
@PRDX Growing I remember getting my Wii in like 2010. I still have it, but it sits on my shelf, continually expanding its dust collection as it watches me put the Wii U on Wii game duty.
6:24 I remember having my Wii filled up with games like these, I didn’t ACTUALLY buy them of course... I just downloaded them onto my wii with a WAD manager... Good times of having 20 homebrew channels in different colors and, lets not forget on how everyone had the “Dark Wii” theme installed via mymenuify... The Early 2010s / Late 2000s was a good time...
I remember waiting outside a target for the release of the Wii with my family. Stayed there all night and they gave us popcorn and coke at like 6am. People camped out with whole ass tvs and gamecubes for melee lol
I’m so happy that I’m old enough to share nostalgia for things like the Wii. The Wii is just the perfect thing to learn about for me, between the nostalgia, the tech, and the wholesome Nintendo-ness, I just find it so interesting
guy: I don't really like the idea of having each application presented as a "channel" tamaki-san: *dont you understand how GREAT it is to have a console that EVERYONE can enjoy TOGETHER??*
It took us 15 years to find the Startup disc and we finally found it. The startup disc is no longer lost... We saw the text we could never see before we found it and now we have it.
I ordered a used Wii last week because when it came out I didn't have the best homelife and I couldn't watch/use the tv at all, but I used to see one at every other kid's house, Now after 15 years I can finally enjoy what I couldn't as a kid and I'm super excited for it to arrive
@@Sea_of_Waves yes, absolutely 😊, an almost full day of work never stops me from clearing out some stars in Mario galaxy or a high score on guitar hero XD. I'm planning on collecting all the bestsellers eventually and honestly it's just fun playing it
I love the Mii characters. I mean, they got alot of charme and some people got really creative with their faces and turn them into art. And don't forget that thanks to the Mii's, you can play as (a cartoony) yourself! I wish Nintendo would give Mii's a bit more attention (I mean, they're still in the Switch but the Mii Maker is hidden in the system menu). One of my Mii's is Jessica. I really love her. I made her on my Wii back in 2008 or 2009 IIRC. I have her in all my other Nintendo consoloes. I have her as my sidekick in SSB4/SSBU, as my wife in Tomodachi Life, as a roomie in Miitomo, as a "profile" in Wii Fit U to have her appear in the games when I play it, and even more. I remember when the Wii was called the Nintendo Revolution. I also remember the Wii Shop music scaring the crap out of me because the music starts at full volume after a total silence while connecting.
Funny thing is, a couple months back, I became super interested in the builds of the Wii Home Menu so I tried searching up for more information about it. Thanks Beta64 for covering this topic and making my life much easier.
@@Aikerin So it's not really disc but image of it but it works! It's from nintendo leak and here's the link to video: ua-cam.com/video/OFF3Q2xyPqM/v-deo.html
I loved playing my old wii. I was around 1 when the wii was released, so i grew up with it. Even after we got a XboxOneS, a Nintendo Switch, ect, we still used the wii the most. Those nice nights when me, my older sister and older brother would just play mariokart or Wii Sports Resorts.
Huh same age. But I got the Wii around 2013 or 2014. We didn’t get a Wii U because, you know, nintendos terrible marketing. My parents saw the gamepad and didn’t want a regular console but something we could exercise with a bit.
18:47 beta64: they made the letter unable to be modified or deleted 19:15 beta64: I played action girls racing for 19 hours and the forcast channel for 7.5 19+7.5 = 26.5 *Wait. That's Illegal*
Beta64 has a cozy vibe in general but I feel like this specific episode has by far the most wholesome feel to it I believe. It's very fitting for the topic, and the holiday theme really helps that

Beta64: "Sending messages to my friends-" Me: Wait you could send messages? You could talk to friends!? You could friend people on the Wii?!?!? I NEVER KNEW THAT I'M SO STUPID
RiiConnect24 I tried setting up a connection, and it kept failing. I was told that the reason is because the Wii can no longer connect to the Internet.
The DVD fact is the most interesting one to me. I always remember wishing it could play DVDs to at least some extent. Funny to now know that if I mod it, it actually can lol
I'm not sure why he didn't mention it, but Nintendo at one point did announce that as a possibility but only on a specific model instead of it being standard. Having Netflix did kinda make up for it, I remember in the very early days one had to ask Netflix to sent a free disk in order to have this functionality, eventually they were able to release an app.
The reason why it wasn't available as an app but a disc was because of a loophole with a Microsoft agreement. Microsoft had an exclusive agreement to include a Netflix app on the Xbox 360, but it didn't mention a disc that did the same thing. @@sion8
You've done a really good job of improving the humor. Clear Scott the Woz inspiration, but done in a way that it still feels unique and true to you. Great stuff! Also liking that the content isn't quite as long as some of the other recent vids, I think you've found the sweet spot in ~30 minutes.
"Y'know the Mii channel wasn't the only one being made close to the end of the Wii's development. Turns out... uh... They ALL were! PHOTO CHANNEL, the News Channel, the Forecast channel. They were all being made last minute in order to meet the deadline. Well, except for one, and that one happens to be the PHOTO CHANNEL." So the Photo Channel was last minute, and not. Neat.
What I love about Beta64 is that its so relaxing to watch, and gives fond memories of the old times. Its very interesting to learn about the history of consoles and/or video games.
I find it so interesting how one of my childhood consoles that I still love to play with my family came out before I was born! I look at the back of my Wii games and am amazed at the quality (though unimpressive compared to modern games) of these games despite when they came out. I like learning about the history and how it was made and I really enjoyed this video especially how it’s so rewatch able for me :D
I still have my Wii today. It’s so nostalgic. I love making miis on it and playing around with the photo channel. You can still catch me playing Wii fit to this day! I really enjoyed this video.
I believe i heard somewhere that Nintendo discussed selling the Dolby DVD license on the Wii Shop Channel, just never did. =b but maybe that was just speculation.
@Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec II Nur R34 '02 ummm, the every Wii can play DVD, the Wii disk is just a DVD. It's not a hardware problem, it's a licensing of the software that decrypts the Dolby Audio files. As stated in the video, you can activate the playback feature with any Wii by just applying the Dolby License Activation code. They showed how this is what Microsoft did with the Original Xbox, you just bought a dongle separately that held the activation number in it and that's it. Well, technically it was also a wireless dongle for the DVD remote it came with, but you get what i mean.

I was not expecting a Beta64 episode on the Wii Menu! Excellent work as usual Andrew, loved it!
The DVD fact is the most interesting one to me. I always remember wishing it could play DVDs to at least some extent. Funny to now know that if I mod it, it actually can lol
I'm not sure why he didn't mention it, but Nintendo at one point did announce that as a possibility but only on a specific model instead of it being standard. Having Netflix did kinda make up for it, I remember in the very early days one had to ask Netflix to sent a free disk in order to have this functionality, eventually they were able to release an app.
Depends on the system! I've never had a PAL vers work ime w/ modding
The reason why it wasn't available as an app but a disc was because of a loophole with a Microsoft agreement. Microsoft had an exclusive agreement to include a Netflix app on the Xbox 360, but it didn't mention a disc that did the same thing. @@sion8
WE FOUND IT BOIS! THE WII STARTUP DISC HAS BEEN FOUND!!!!!
Well not physically.
the Files were found. (Heck I just downloaded.)
@@8-bitgiraffe917 You could burn it to DVD..
You've done a really good job of improving the humor. Clear Scott the Woz inspiration, but done in a way that it still feels unique and true to you. Great stuff! Also liking that the content isn't quite as long as some of the other recent vids, I think you've found the sweet spot in ~30 minutes.
Nah bro his longer videos were way better
Cringe
Still remember getting my wii for Christmas in 2007. When I was 7 years old, I still have it and play it for time to time.
I just found this channel and I love it. It's like Scott the Woz, without the swearing and more informative
too bad its dead

"And Jesus, because i'm a good christian boy"
Beta 64, 2019

I love this format so much
my neighbours kids are really young, but they have a wii and love to play it! this just proves how timeless the wii truly is! :)))
4:15 damn that’s a broken DS lite
" my ds is fine "
my ds lite is like that
Rip top screen
Like mine just the same thing
What
This was very entertaining. certainly one of my favorites in a min, I can tell you had a lot of fun making this :)
“So this implies that maybe the Wii could originally play DVDs, and that’s supported by the fact that it can”
This has been recommended to me for so long now, it's time to watch it finally. End of an era
Aw, I'm missing my Wii now. The poor thing is sitting on a shelf, covered in dust...
"these look kind of like tv channels"
*slams desk*
(starts to make mii, creates unique looking eyes)
"oh, that's interesting. i've never seen that done before"
(selects mouth)
"oh. oh"
*megalovainia itestifies*
@@carolynmoore908 it still me
"Y'know the Mii channel wasn't the only one being made close to the end of the Wii's development. Turns out... uh... They ALL were! PHOTO CHANNEL, the News Channel, the Forecast channel. They were all being made last minute in order to meet the deadline. Well, except for one, and that one happens to be the PHOTO CHANNEL." So the Photo Channel was last minute, and not. Neat.
Lol

Dont know why, but your humor sound like that of Scot The Woz. But your nice and calm voice makes it even more funnier. XD
Never thought I'd say this, but I legit enjoyed your ad. It wasn't overly hyped, and obnoxious. It was just informative, and to the point. Kudos.
There's a WiiConnect24 replacement service called RiiConnect24. It requires homebrew (of course) though, so you need a homebrewed Wii to install it
The official RC24 UA-cam channel commented on this video
@MrKlassic Abby is a Mii on Wii sports which is a wife of beef boss.
@@bradleeanderson356 yeah on Poofs videos anyway.
I've been watching all your recent videos lately. I remember not liking the more comedy focused direction, but honestly, I'm really warming up to it!
this nostalgia is too much for me i’m gonna cry
Same I still remember being 6 years old and playing Mario kart Wii at insane hours in the night in the summer time
Soooooooooo nostalgia good years 😕
What I love about Beta64 is that its so relaxing to watch, and gives fond memories of the old times. Its very interesting to learn about the history of consoles and/or video games.
I find it so interesting how one of my childhood consoles that I still love to play with my family came out before I was born! I look at the back of my Wii games and am amazed at the quality (though unimpressive compared to modern games) of these games despite when they came out. I like learning about the history and how it was made and I really enjoyed this video especially how it’s so rewatch able for me :D
This is so neat. Love these vids. Appreciate em. Happy holidays everyone!
Happy holidays to you too
Merry Christmas!

The cutest sound ever made by an adult.
poyo!
*snickering* hahehah *dies*
*Coughs aggressively*
I love the fact that the unused jingle at nearly the end of the video is straight up the 1UP jingle from Kirby's Dream Land 3
Imagine being heavily pregnant when the Wii came out...
Thanks mum
Nobody noticed that he used flex shot for a gingerbread house
No, I noticed it first time watching.
I SAWED THIS BOAT IN HALF
I would still eat it
I noticed lmao
I was traumatized upon seeing it.
I still have my Wii today. It’s so nostalgic. I love making miis on it and playing around with the photo channel. You can still catch me playing Wii fit to this day! I really enjoyed this video.
12:19 dude, my brother and I spent countless hours modifying every single picture inside one SD we had. Several times.
15:40 "Dumped by Bushing"
is that The Bushing?
16:12 Yeah.. pretty sure that's Ben..
Rest In Peace...
15:13 I love how he says "GONE" when tank explodes.
I love how you just slipped Ninjabread Man in there!
I believe i heard somewhere that Nintendo discussed selling the Dolby DVD license on the Wii Shop Channel, just never did. =b but maybe that was just speculation.
ScarfFox and Friends That would help explain why the DVD disc was still (albeit hidden) on the Disc Channel instead of removed.
shame that the Wii didn't have DVD playback out of the box
@Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec II Nur R34 '02 ummm, the every Wii can play DVD, the Wii disk is just a DVD. It's not a hardware problem, it's a licensing of the software that decrypts the Dolby Audio files. As stated in the video, you can activate the playback feature with any Wii by just applying the Dolby License Activation code. They showed how this is what Microsoft did with the Original Xbox, you just bought a dongle separately that held the activation number in it and that's it. Well, technically it was also a wireless dongle for the DVD remote it came with, but you get what i mean.
6:30 I like how we can see Illustrator resizing the thing and the pointer is flipped.
i got excited when i saw the words "Wii Channels" and Beta64 in the same title. im unsure why.
