Love the Wii U. I just finished the twilight princess hd 3 weeks ago, and it was fantastic in 1080p. Wind Waker was amazing, and looks stunning in HD. I rarely agree with Damiani, and that trend continues I guess. There are a crap ton of amazing games, which will make the wii U a collectors console as they are all low print runs. Wonderful 101, pikmin 3, Bayonetta 2, hyrule warriors, tropical freeze, Toad, Zelda remakes, Splatoon(!), I have 30 physical games in my collection and they are all great. A group of my friends have a standing Sunday engagement to play Smash that has been running for 2 years now. We played through all the multiplayer marios, tropical freeze, and a lot of other multiplayer games. Thats what the wii u did that the other consoles didn't, kept couch multi player alive and very well. I feel bad for you guys if you really hated it that much, getting joy out of something is way better. Glad this console is still giving me a great time!
200cc takes a while to get into but i think its actually a great addition you really have to KNOW every map perfectly to beat each cup its incredibly rewarding
I have managed to pick up a Wii U for a super cheep price and i will be picking up a small but much needed list of games (bayonetta 2,Tokyo Mirage Sessions etc) but with 2017 shaping into a amazing year for games i will be powering through them before persona 5 hit.
And none could foresee the Wii U would rise again, because Nintendo didn't bring the Virtual Console to the Switch. 4 years later the Wii U is the best way to play classic Nintendo games (except emulation on PC of course).
It's really hard to rewatch this stream with the constant obvious trolling by Damiani. Sucks because the Tropical Freeze section is so jolly with everyone else.
The Wii U gets just completely unnecessary hate. It had Breath of the Wild, Pikmin 3, ZombiU, Nintendo Land, Bayonetta 2, Mario 3D World, Smash Bros, Wonderful 101, captain toad, Mario maker, Hyrule Warriors, Windwaker and Twilight Princess HD, the best version of Rahman Legends BY FAR. it somehow had the best looking version of Assassin's Creed IV. I'm actually interested to know how it could have been better tbh. People act like it had no games, it had more exclusives than Xbox One has still, probably as many as PS4 has too tbh. The controller was awesome, the WiiMote + was really good. It's only weakness was that crappy CPU, if not for that, it would've been killing it still.
I'm new and/or didn't watch GT often enough, who's Don? I like the content I've seen with him in it but I have no idea if he works there/somewhere else etc
Strange to see the panel hate on Smash Bros (the title that consistently makes sure that my Wii U gets more playtime than my PS4 with all it's games combined) and praise random games that they have not or hardly played at all... o_O
Goodbye motion controls? VR is still gonna push motion controls. Woah woah woah! Wii U is far ahead of the Virtual Boy. Virtual Boy only had like 5 games before it was canned.
SMB may be fun to play (never played and never will) but good god, it's such a horrible game to watch. A shame it took the spot of the best game for the WiiU: Bayonetta 2
I loved Damiani's eulogy, but am I the only one that sees how many of the stuff he's complaining are present on the Switch? Stupid motion controls, Joy-cons, HD Rumble, Miis, underpowered, lack of AAA third party titles, it's all in there. Most of the people that criticized the WiiU but are excited for the Switch are in denial right now. For all I care, the Switch could pretty much be called Wii U2, because it feels more like a sequel to the worst Nintendo console (apart from the VirtualBoy) and less like a new console.
yea, switch is a hybrid handheld. Nintendo maybe shot themselves in the foot by calling it a home console. Then again they didn't want to alienate the 3ds crowd since 3ds is still making them money
What about users like myself that don't care about handheld? Nintendo doesn't have an option for them anymore? Not even the WiiU, since it has been pulled off from stores
if you like nintendo games buy one and leave it docked its not the most powerful system available but it works if you don't like nintendo games then why get one anyway of course it would've been more powerful if they sacrificed the mobility but they have precedent that handheld systems sell games so they're going for the payday personally i agree they should stop with gimmicks and just make a real console but they haven't done that in a very long time and at least this ones gimmicks actually work and add something to the experience the mobility is pretty cool and convenient its not perfect but its not the wii U
Great response! I'm 100% with you on the dream that would be a REAL POWERFUL CONSOLE from Nintendo. Maybe I'm just old and miss the old days, when Nintendo was not trying to be "different", they just wanted to be BETTER than the competition. At least with the NES and SNES they succeeded.
lesson learned, never have brad or damiani give a eulogy at your funeral
Good god, those eulogies. It's like they walked up to the casket and slapped the corpse. And then lit it on fire.
Huber's "What? Noooo" reaction to Damiani not beating all the levels in DK Tropical Freeze is hilarious.
RIP Wii U
2012 - 2012
Brad: "Stay dead."
I couldn't stop laughing XD
I totally get Huber's Ice aesthetic theory. It's a very "ice themed mobile cash in" lookin ice motif they got on that box.
The Wii U gave me the opportunity to play GBA games I missed out on back in the day, like Metroid: Zero Mission. That game is still gorgeous.
Kexim Onalim emulators cmon....
could have just bought a gba instead
Dude, 200cc rules. Seems impossible at first but you master those brake drifts and it's the satisfaction of nailing a corner x100.
I love my Wii U and I will continue use it for a long time, hope the best for the switch, it is an amazing piece of tech
I don't even play Mario yet I love watching you guys play Super Mario Maker. What a great game.
Props to Bosman for calling Damiani out on his complaining all the time and making excuses lol. 1:04:56
Great video as well

Great words, keep enjoying playing on your WiiU!!
DKC Tropical Freeze is probably my favorite game on Wii U, such a masterpiece!
"Elyse's parting gift for the staff was"... tears started rolling...
To perhaps the most important console of my life, the Wii U. I will love you forever
200cc takes a while to get into but i think its actually a great addition you really have to KNOW every map perfectly to beat each cup its incredibly rewarding
I will never let a system that is the only one capable of playing The Wonderful 101 die.
And Bayonetta 2
and Devil's Third.
The Wonderful 101 Remastered baby!
DKC Returns and DKC Tropical Freeze is pure magic.
I hope Nintendo bring both to Switch as a collection. Also, please do a 3rd DKC Returns.
Wii U was really underrated.
enjoi0555 undergamelibrary
Damiani called Tokyo Mirage Sessions hahaha!
Nostalgia feels for my gamecube from that zelda intro

Ahh "7.8" How I've missed you.

I didn't even own a WiiU and that opening made me emotional.
This stream symbolized the WiiU for me perfectly, the only game on it I had any interest in was the one barely played in the end. ^^
is Damiani ten years old?
does Donkey Kong ever actually eat a banana?
god a mega64, easyallies hybrid baby would fulfill all my dreams
2:08:24 Vintage Damiani lol
I'm new and/or didn't watch GT often enough, who's Don? I like the content I've seen with him in it but I have no idea if he works there/somewhere else etc
He was an editor at GameTrailers. He doesn't like to get on camera, hence his rare appearances back at GT (and also these days)
He's also an editor for Funhaus where Elyse works
Even on my death bed, I won't forget. A 7.8...
Wii U was sick and anyone who disagrees is a FOOL
CommonFable gr8 console
Apparently so was the GC and it also lose it's generation. Up until recently people want Nintendo to retry a failed concept.
If ever Kyle does reviews of Nintendo games, He'd probably give all exclusives a 5 star review. The only explanation being, It's Nintendo. ;)
Yay!
Why hasent Super Mario 3D World come to switch yet??
BOTW looks as though it may be my new favourite but currently windwaker would be my favourite game.
My favourite game is a 7.8
Oh man! lol
Wild Link how bout now?
I need a video guide for 'WW is 7.8'.
Strange to see the panel hate on Smash Bros (the title that consistently makes sure that my Wii U gets more playtime than my PS4 with all it's games combined) and praise random games that they have not or hardly played at all... o_O
BOWSER HYYYPE 54:30
For the record the Capt. Toad ending spoiler was a spoiler for me... guess I'll skip it
7.8
Make the camera screen bigger next time...
Goodbye motion controls? VR is still gonna push motion controls.
Woah woah woah! Wii U is far ahead of the Virtual Boy. Virtual Boy only had like 5 games before it was canned.
No W101... shame on you exgametrailers
Why is the video capture shit quality?
SMB may be fun to play (never played and never will) but good god, it's such a horrible game to watch.
A shame it took the spot of the best game for the WiiU: Bayonetta 2

the switch is a cool handheld that you can connect to your tv and play with a controller
yea, switch is a hybrid handheld. Nintendo maybe shot themselves in the foot by calling it a home console. Then again they didn't want to alienate the 3ds crowd since 3ds is still making them money
What about users like myself that don't care about handheld? Nintendo doesn't have an option for them anymore? Not even the WiiU, since it has been pulled off from stores
