Mark you calendar folks, Rich reviewed a piece of tech in the USA!
It's incredible.....
@@tiberiusbrain 🎉🎊
This is a great step up in production quality, props to both of you
Really good video
Thank you man! -Editor
@@ReviewTechUSA You forgot to talk about the _Super Mario 3D World_ video game and review it for the Nintendo Wii U in this UA-cam video, Rich - or was it released outside of the launch window of the Nintendo Wii U (it *_was_* released in late 2012/early 2013... right...?)???
@@ReviewTechUSA To be fair at 16:54 about the cutscenes that really happens a lot at the start of the game later on it's not so extreme.
@@spacelogic101whatif yeah
I still have my Wii U, and it’s a great system. I still think COD on Wii U is great with two people in the same room have their own screens. That was a game changer.
Its called xbox 360 live kid
@@HistoryandReviews Free online vs paid at the time is really going to win some ppl over.
@@solonepeon5805fr back when ps3's online service was free, then Microsofts paywall Xbox Live made every company hop on board for paid online service 😔
Similarly in Uncharted 3 on the PS3 allows two players locally to play online via splitscreen but I got a feeling Naughty Dogs was planning to add SimulView support for owners of the PlayStation 3D Display.
@@TRPYGanja it was going to happen no matter what. The original xbox was PAID while the PS2 was out 🤡
I had this happen when I tried to get a PS4 except it was an Amazon seller. To all the sellers out there, if the item was USED, DO NOT mark the item as new and attempt to sell it. We will know. We’re not that stupid.
Yeah, I'm not going to get a Nintendo Wii U from eBay, Amazon Marketplace, etc.; I'm going to get a used one from a local brick-and-mortar store, where I can inspect it *_*before*_* I hand over *_ANY_* money. [I *_ABSOLUTELY_*_ _*_*NEED*_* the Nintendo Wii U virtual console version of _Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3_ with *_*ALL*_* of the e-Reader stages/levels - *_including_* the (formerly) Japanese-exclusive and American-exclusive ones - in my life, so...]
The wii u pad is more comfortable to hold than the Switch. And the buttons, especially the triggers are fantastic.
i completly agree!!!!
Yeah, for how bulky the Gamepad looks it's surprisingly ergonomic.
This is one of the things I don’t like on the Switch.
Yeah, that was the point of it. But people mocked it by how funny and fat it looked. Looks like people prefer looks over ergonomy and thats kinda sad...
You're right, it feels like a child's comfortable plastic toy rather than a portable gaming platform
I still enjoy the Wii U in 2022. When the system was out the TV functionality was pretty cool.
I used to use the gamepad as a remote for the TV in my sister's room. I would randomly change the channel of the show that she was watching. It was kind of funny.
I would love to see more these vids compared to multiple daily vids of the news. I get it, need time and you’ve got to pay the bills…. But hoping more of these in the future. Nice review
Well it’s not what his channel’s about bro it be a big risk for him to completely change his content and hearing about how one UA-camr was trying that and was afraid he might go broke because people weren’t watching them,
so it’s just a risk but honestly I like his news stuff it’s more interesting than tech reviews in my opinion
@@jackster10101 what do you mean? In this case he actually Reviews Tech. Otherwise, he finds the opportunity to cover seemingly too many avenues of other people's drama like Will Smith. I think Rich has great range in what he can and is willing to cover
Like I said, I understand videos like this take time. I’m just saying that if he threw a video out like this every once in awhile, it would be cool
@@alexandermccalla5098 probably but I still stand by what i said
He's said before in streams he plans on doing more videos like this
I bought a Wii U and played it a ton. I never owned a Wii myself so the redundancy of it was great for my use case. I actually still play prime trilogy on it from time to time.
Lol same. My WiiU is pretty much just "The Metroid Machine".
I had both and I loved both consoles
It's three console in one. And you can (could?) find it for cheap because people prefer to buy the inferior Wii, for some reason.
I rebought myself a "Metroid Machine" myself a year or two ago... It's all the Wii U is good for anymore... Just Port the Metroid Series IN FULL to the Switch Nintendo FFS 🤦 😂
In my opinion, what makes the Wii U the best is the dual-screen feature. Windwaker and Princess HD did it perfectly and damn it's great to hold.
He did it guys,...he finally became the true form of ReviewTechUSA
The Wii U was a fantastic system! It makes me sad to think about how poorly handled it was by Nintendo. So many fantastic games! I put countless hours into games like Mario Maker, Rayman Legends, Mario Kart, Lego City Undercover and Mario 3D World to name a few. I also first experienced Breath of the Wild on it! The Mii verse was really cool and the game pad was a great controller! It's a damn shame most people never got to experience it. I definitely miss the Wii U.
They gave it a bad name. That didn't help them.
It's still my all-time favorite Nintendo console
Name aside, it wasn't Nintendo's fault if people didn't buy it. They made great games for it, what else were they supposed to do?
@@rijjhb9467 They didn't really get developers to utilize the gamepad. Well, worried that it may break? Mine is now about 10 years old. Getting my use from it.
The time is now :)
EDIT: Having watched the whole video I can say this is one of your best review videos, Rich. I really liked the variety of voiceovers you made for each section of the video. I also appreciate the concise summary of each and every release game. I think there may be potential for this "mini review" format of games/tech in the future... Excellent work!
I remember in 2019 ago I finally got around to replacing the screen on my Wii U gamepad after it got cracked in around 2016. I'm glad I got to have some fun with it again! It's actually a neat little console. I especially love all of the old virtual console games that I could play in HD on my 4k tv with headphones.
Yep, and homebrew helps even more!
When comparing consoles that sold poorly, the Wii U is the best in that category. Maybe the most underrated console of all time with Dreamcast at a close second
And the 3DO is a close third.
I remember my first thought when I played a game on the wii u gamepad instead of the TV. The gamepad itself should be the console. Now we have the switch. Thank you nintendo!
Lmao 🤣
Evolution lol
The wii u still sucked.
@@chasejackson7248 not really.. it was an okay console..
gay
I’ve been looking forward to this video for a while now, glad to finally see it. Even though the Wii U wasn’t very well received I have a lot of great memories with it and still use every once in a while
I remember when my grandpa bought me a Wii U game when I had a Wii great memories
Wii was way better
The thing i love about the Wii and Wii U versions of CoD games is the Wiimote Support, using the Wiimote to aim and shoot is so comfortable and I actually got Modern Warfare 3 on Wii on Launch just for that reason despite having a PS3 at the time.
Also fun fact, the Wii U's CPU is technically based off PowerPC G3 which dates back to the late 90s with the iMac G3.
Review Tech actually Reviewing Tech in USA? Well got damn! It's been like 84 years
yes name rarereviewtechusa
21:15
I can't stop laughing at the delivery of that line
And we’ve made it! Definitely worth the wait on this review Props to you Rich and your editor Jay👌🏾
Wii U is my favorite Nintendo system, this was a great video Rich
It's one of my favorites.. Still play it from time to time..
Xenoblade chronicles x is still one of my favorite games. It pushed the Wii U to its limits and used the game pad in a creative way. The game pad was both the map, but also you could control a system called frontier nav. It got you resources and money.
Still waiting for a switch port or at least a sequel on the switch
been starving for X content
It needs a Switch port
Fingers crossed for the switch port of X.
It needs a PC port with proper online features, such as play together with your friends, not just using their avatar.
@@gamingforpizza5142 that's impossible considering Nintendo owns Monolith Soft, and we know that it will never see another platform outside of Nintendo's
The closest we'll have to XCX on PC is through Cemu emulator
Though we do already have an MMO on switch like Phantasy Star Online. And honestly XCX's online already works similarly like Monster Hunter for hunting missions, just not for the open world. So its possible to make it truly co-op without needing it to be ported to PC
Rich's glorious return to reviews of tech in the good 'ole US of A.
Rich. This was pretty good. You should make more videos reviewing other systems and it’s launch titles like this.
I remember hearing something interesting; part of the reason for why the Wii U was so weak compared the the PS4 and Xbox One was because Nintendo stupidly thought of "HD" as a binary thing, as in Nintendo made an HD compatible console, now they are on par with the 8th generation. Obviously hardware does not work like that, but that was Nintendo's mindset.
There's a 0% chance anybody capable of hardware engineering would think this way. The answer is almost certainly that nintendo always sells their hardware at a profit and the cost of the gamepad necessitated relatively weak hardware to hit a price point that they thought consumers would stomach (plus they wanted Wii backwards compatibility which locked them into a specific architecture and would have also driven up costs).
@@DeToxCommunity I know it's a backward beyond stupid way of thinking, but I'd say it was equally stupid to not see HD being right around the corner with the Wii, or sticking with the same processor that they used since the GameCube, or thinking that big AAA games would flock to the Wii U, or thinking that next gen games could even run on the Wii U with its lack of power. Nintendo is blindingly stupid sometimes.
Nintendo was delusional back then. They went out their way to make it as weak as absolutely possible.
@@RegalPixelKing well other companies sell at a loss make it up with games. Nintendo doesn’t make that assumption- they didn’t buy Wii games. It was good, but it was in the closet within 2 years. Switch is portable, and it’s still 2 generations behind even after updated more expensive console. You think they have hardware engineers? Not really… well they make plastic covers… switch doesn’t need to be fast- it’s portable. It’s faster than the Vita- job done.
Actually no. They had to use a MUCH cheaper and older CPU to save money, so that the gamepad could be included. The CPU they used has 2004 levels of performance. The GPU is better than the PS3 or 360, but the cheap CPU holds it back.
I actually loved this charming little system.
Yeah, the pro controller on it was my favorite, if wasn't for that awful, pad I would still own one.
@@asterphoenix3074 Yeah, the pad was a waste. It had so much potential originally, but Nintendo could never figure out a way to actually utilize it in their games, so instead it just became another flopped gimmick, unfortunately.
I really like the Wii U - It got me back into gaming. I had taken a break from gaming around 2004 - I moved in with my girlfriend, job was exceptionally busy, eventually we married and then had a daughter in 2010. Around 2012 I started to think about gaming again. I was primarily a PC gamer prior but wanted something the whole family could enjoy. I bought a Wii U and it was SO MUCH FUN! Even though my daughter was young at the time she grew in to it and my wife (who was not a gamer) really got into many of the games. As my daughter got older we spent the summers (Im a teacher) going through games like Paper Mario Color Splash and New Super Mario Bros U together. Then the family Mario Cart tournaments, so much fun! It was also my daughters first introduction to Zelda with Twilight Princess.
I will never, ever get rid of my Wii U, so many memories now tied up into it.
Love my wiiu the ability to play off the tv was the major selling feature for me. With the virtual console on there for a bonus i still have mine hooked up today!
i didn't think this was ever coming out. it feels like months since we heard about this
I’ll die on the hill that the Wii U gamepad was the most comfortable controller I’ve ever used. I love how wide it is and the sticks and buttons felt great.
Didn’t stop me from trading it in for a switch tho.
I would buy a chunky switch pro for home only if it felt like the Wii U gamepad.
I can't agree that it's the most comfortable controller, but it is by far the most comfortable "handheld" I've ever used. I just wish they'd have put the right stick in the offset position they returned to with the Switch. If the Wii U gamepad were higher resolution it would be perfect. In every other way, the screen is better than the Switch's.
It was uncomfortable sausage fingers
Steam Deck is my most comfortable. Fits my hands like a glove.
@@gramblor1 I can agree that the stick placement was a little wack.
@@OutlawMantis I’ve thought about giving it a try because it honestly reminded me of the gamepad. I wish someone in my life would buy it so I could try it out but I’m the only one I know who’s at least semi interested in it.
This was fun to watch and looked like it was also fun to make!
Please make other videos like this using other consoles that performed just like WiiU did.
May I suggest the VITA! That would be too perfect for this kinda video!
Man, I love Rich Reviewing Tech in the USA. Seriously though, great vid. Loved all the comprehensive reviews of the games. Thanks for going through all the trouble.
Bro why would you pay 800$ for a Wii u... i got mine for 78$ (plus 26 shipping) on ebay and it looked better than that
No you didn’t.
@@Rountree1985 to be fair this was 2 or 3 years ago but still, I can't imagine the price would have gone up that much
I love the Wii u it has all the best Wii games by Nintendo and some old Gameboy advance games and stuff it's a must have console for Nintendo fans in my opinion and you can also use emulation with it too. I only paid 80$ for mine I can't believe it costs that much now
I had to replace the game pad for my step-son. What a shock that a kid would rage quit over and over and it broke on him.
I would have said.. no more and that's that.. you broke it.. work it off to get a new one.
Impressive production and editing quality on this vid! Way to go!
I miss my wii u, but I'm also glad I sold it for a switch
Thank you Rich, format is great, patience was rewarded, great job editor bro!
21:16 This is the funniest review I`ve seen in years! This part could be my new ringtone. (I`m not a bot. I grew up in Jakobsdal Örgryte half a mile from Pewdiepie)
I have been waiting for this for ages, so ready to watch this evening!
Rich I am so happy this video is finally here I have literally been hearing about it for at least four months maybe more so happy it’s here I can’t believe it’s here!
Why did Rich suddenly turn into It's A Gundam when he started talking about the fitness game?
I remember I harassed my parents about wanting a Wii U and I got one for Christmas in 2013. It's still my most favorite home console. Probably because of nostalgia lol I also remember I took a selfie on my TV using the Wii U Chat app and my iPod at the time (I was a cringy 13 year old with too much free time. Idk how I managed to do that). I have so many good memories of this thing so it's really nice to see this video.
So excited to watch!!! Been waiting for this video for a LONG time!!!
The Wii and Switch are underpowered yet they sold well. So this proves power doesn't matter. It's the marketing that affects sales.
Definitely
I purchased a Wii U recently. I'm very impressed at the library of games and the whole functionality of the gamepad. Such a cool console, I'm defo gonna be collecting a bunch of games for it. Ps, always watch your videos Rich! Great work 😊
Wait... he's reviewing tech? In the USA? This is crazy.
To be fair, my wiiu came with a stand and looked fine next to my TV. Worst selling console, yes. Did I love it? Also yes.
Great video this is my favorite one youve done in a long time, got a lot of laughs
I bought a Wii U after it was discontinued, just for Breath of the Wild when it came out. I use it primarily for playing DS games on the TV nowadays, though until Nintendo gives us Twilight Princess HD and Wind Waker HD on the Switch, I won't be packing the Wii U away for good.
Yea a lot of us I’m sure are waiting for twilight princess and wind waker on switch. They are really making this a painful wait.
I owned the Wii U for a number of years and never once realized there was a 1.3MP camera on it.
Unfortunately now in 2022, we can’t even access it. I tried a few weeks back. Nintendo shut down the app that allows its use.
Thanks for you and your editor's hard work on this!
I enjoyed the wiiu very much. I think it was revolutionary with the controller. I believe it was the prototype for the switch
🤡🤡🤡
Loved this Rich! I always like your content but this was definitely a nice change of pace & the production quality & the longer videos are always welcomed imo, I’d love more of these! 👏🏼😎
The birds are like, the perfect addition to the channel. I liked Rich and his channel before, but now I love it.
I feel like we've been waiting years for this video
Great review and well produced video Rich. I loved this video in its entirety and I hope to see more projects like this on your channel!
Rich doing karaoke on the WiiU might be the best thing I’ve seen all year
Brilliant ‘moment of realization’ scene, the background music really made the vid worth watching again!
Weirdly, the first console to come with an HDMI cable in the box.
Nope. The Xbox 360 Elite had one in box.
The 360 and ps3 both did it a couple years before the wiiu came out. My 360 slim and ps3 slim both had one in like 2010.
@@williammoore1030 I meant at launch, but that is correct. My 360 came with composite cables in 2008, though I used component.
@@williammoore1030 I bought a PS3 slim on 2012 and it didn’t came with HDMI cable, it just came with RCA
@@Fernando-np5vv weird, was it the one with the sliding top, like the 3rd iteration? And was it in North America?
As a long time sub, I am disappointed that Rich decided to stop pronouncing Oobiesoft and Merryo correctly.
Other than that, nice job finally releasing this! A shame the Wii U isn't worth getting anymore, since all the good games were ported to Switch by now.
Rich flexing in the designer again 😎😎
Rich with the eye candy as always😋love that blubber on him
By far the best intro ever lmao
I own and have beaten a lot of these. Loved orochi warriors hyper on wii u. It plays fine. Ninja garden razors edge was sooo hard. Zombi U I loved. Hard disagree with Rich on that one. This is one of the exceptions where the gamepad was done right and it adds to the horror experience.
I bought mine when Smash released and also used it as a 3D Zelda machine. As a kid who really only played Mario, Pokémon and Kirby games, it was a fantastic way to explore other Nintendo franchises at an affordable price (looking at you Fire Emblem and Metriod GBA games).
I feel like people who didn't have their late high school/college years coincide with Wii sports missed out on something special. Wii sports drinking game parties were so much fun
Seller: "What are you talking about? It is brandnew to me." lol
I unironically love the Wii U.
At long last! The video we’ve all been waiting for! It’s finally here the hype is real!
That intro was a bit haunting.
I like it!
1:25 when the color changes your hoodie reads "POO"
I thought I was the only one that saw this 🤣
My all-time favorite gaming system. Long Live Project Cafe!
Shame that it was a financial flop for nintendo.
I purchased my Wii U towards the end of it's life time and only had a few Mario titles and Splatoon. After researching the system on launch and compared to where it ended up today, we all know why the system is a failure. I give my condolence to those who purchased the system day one, especially with the gaming draughts for the system.
At long last, Father Rich has given us the Wii U video. I am at peace.
I picked up a refurbished one on ebay with a bundle of games.
I decided to give it a second go after looking into improvement mods. HD wii games, gamecube emulation and wii u titles backed up for quick access and no need for the disc drive make this a surprisingly awesome gaming machine.
... not to mention all the eshop titles I had bought years ago.
Frank Sinatra "New York, New York" great choice for karaoke, Rich! Great Wuu review!!
as much as i love my switch and ps5 the wii u will always have a special place in my heart as my first console
make sure to hack your wii u then you can play GameCube and have custom themes and mods
That mario paint music was amazing I spent hours drawing with that music
Recently bought a refurbished 2DS to replace my old one. Not to bad deal got mine from Gamestop online for $89.99 with shipping only $98 as where other places wanted close to $299
The Virtual Boy wasn't a handheld either though. It wasn't mobile.
It may not have been a home console you can hook to a TV, but it was a stationary home device you couldn't do much with.
And yeah it was a big failure. But there's some pretty awesome games i wish would get modern ports from that device.
This is definitely the best video on the channel yet
we were just playing wii u yesterday. my wife just discovered how great the zelda series is about a year ago and was playing wii u wind waker, the gamepad definitely comes in handy on that one, just as long as were playing with the pro controller
I still have my Wii U. Glad I do. And I a jailbroke mine. It’s a nice console
I fucking love how pissed he is in this video.
Especially at 24:00 what a passionate meltdown
Black ops 2 is fire on the Wii U. Not infested with hackers and still a small community playing most hours of the day. Wii U had an amazing launch lineup.
I still have my launch model Nintendo Wii U. It's the black model with 32GB flash storage and came with Nintendo Land. One thing about the Wii U was that you also need a USB splitter cable if you were to use an external hard drive. One game that was designed solely for the Wii U gamepad was Star Fox Zero. That game had awkward gyro controls. I personally think that game could have been better if it used traditional controls instead of relying on the gamepad. Even Wind Waker HD used the gamepad but you can use the Wii U pro controller also.
I love the regular car reviews bit😂
20:50 had me DYING lmao
It has arrived the day that was prophesied
I will say playing Black Ops 3 splitscreen with one player using the pad and the other player using the entire TV was pretty sweet since it was basically full screen co-op on a console.
The gamecube controller and wii u gamepad are the most comfortable controllers Nintendo has ever made in my opinion.
When I bought my Wii U in 2014, Nintendo was giving away a free first party game if you registered one other first party game on ClubNintendo . I got the Wii U Wind Waker edition (game came with the console) and was able to use that to get Pikmin 3 for free.
Black ops 2 on the Wii U was awesome, it’s a damn shame Activision hasn’t put any Call of duty on the switch.
The game was downgrade vs ps3 and xbox 360 😅
@@o_KingOfKings_o I agree, but I still enjoyed it especially since I could play it on the game pad. I still say they should at least port Black ops 1 or 2 on the switch.
I managed to snag a full WiiU a while back for a very reasonable price and I have to say, I rather like it. The Wii has been in a box ever since.
Rich get ready for quantum to scour this video for evidence against you
Rich please do more videos like this. I’d like to hear your thoughts on the 2013 launch of Xbox One
I really enjoyed the video. Your chickens are also very nice.
Hey Rich that was such a refreshing memory lane. I´ve remember way back in the day following your videos about next gen rumours at the time. Something that always didn´t get about the WiiU is that many ports run worse than in ps3/360 for not reason, some sites even claming that it was less powerful than the ps3. I do remember watching video comparasions for blops2 and it def looked a bit uglier in some parts. Cheers!
5 player Rayman Legends was some good times on the Wii U.
