The fact that the nintendo team had the work to make this whole animation just to represent a data transfer is simply amazing
Yep...the Wii U ended up being a colossal failure in the end due to how underpowered it was, but doing an animation like this when any other company would've just had a progress bar, was really creative.
really hope they do this again if they were ever to do a data transfer with a newer console
@@mannycantu1285data transfer from switch to the next would be neat using Pikmin 3 models to 4 models
@@mannycantu1285data transferring from one 3ds to another also has an animation that uses Pikmin, so I assume this will remain a common theme
@@StormsparkPegasusI personally think that it had more to do with the poor marketing and social media really coming up around this time than it being “relatively underpowered” the graphics where actually pretty good.
I think Mario Kart 8 still looks good till this day.
I love how the last Purple Pikmin is seemingly too late to board the rocket to the Wii U, but then the ramp goes down anyway to let him in. Those Pikmin must not want their friend to get left behind and eaten by any predators that may exist in the Wii's data.
the predators are malware
yeah.
@@PeterDev897and bulborbs
mostly bulborbs.
@@arekrekas213 lol
Custom bulb-ware
As a Computer expert i can say that this is how data moving works
That's right
Yep you’re right. The tunnels and paths represent the wires on the Wii U’s circuit board while the Pikmin represent the electronic signals that travel through those wires, which is what the data is. Pretty cool!
So there are Pikmin in every computer in the world
@@imjustgonnacommentalot5464 Yes. There's Pikmin inside all our devices, just moving stuff around for us. :)
@@Nosidda what I did not know that
Only Nintendo can make such an aggravating process this adorable and calming.
Yep
Mike Ock ye
Mike Ock yup i wish they were rezl
except Smash players
Didn't calm me at 9pm
This process took way longer because I had a lot of games and channels so I didn't have to many blocks also how dose wii shop channel work in downloading games you removed
It's so adorable especially when the purple was almost left behind and given a chance to live on!
Merninja Marshmallow you are not beacuse flowey
@Oshabot 16 ew someone who judges someone who plays a specific game
I thought the purple is the BIOS so I can't go in
Yeah
Purple pinkmin🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
Rocket come in we won’t leave you
Purple pinning yayay goes in
Tbh it should've stayed there because the wiiu's life span was four years
It would be funny if (somehow) a games save data was deleted in the process of moving, and it just showed a pikmin tripping and dropping one of the boxes into the abyss while all the other pikmin freeze and look in shock
Enchilordo THAT WOULD BE SO FUNNY LOL
Well funny for observers, if it was you, you would be screaming at the screen in anger.
You can't get angry whit all the pikmins
Hahaha.
Carlos El pendejito amigable you don’t put s at the end of pikmin Steve
Am I the only one who found this really cool and even a little emotional? Maybe its the music or the little characters or both. Idk but goddammit Nintendo is amazing
I found it really cool! But i didint find it really emotional
PleaseDoNothingToTheCook me two
It's emotional because they're transferring your memories!
The music was a bit emotional. Sort of like saying "Goodbye, Wii. Thanks for holding all these memories for so long. I'll miss ya"
DeMat that moment must be emotional
I really didn’t expect data transfer to be this nostalgic
I wish Nintendo still made lots of little quirky things like this
I love how the purple pikmin was sad..then he wasn't.
I feel like a purple pikmin
@Google me 1:15
I love purple pikmin
Anjel Damian Villar Sánchez yes
top 10 saddest moments 1:15
You know you’re data is chunky when it’s being carried by at least one purple Pikmin, and light when one Pikmin can single-handedly lift it.
The data must be massive if you got a whole squad of 4 purple carrying one game
What about when one purple and three other Pikmin carry it
Ark survival evolved requires 100 purple pikmin to carry it
@@MadMewMew-mu3eq I think 269 is more accurate
imagine when data gets corrupted a piece of the game and a pikmin fell
It will be hilarious if Nintendo made a mission mode map out of this.
This needs to happen. It be the best reference to have in their own franchise.
Mission: Move data from your Wii to Wii U!
Paper Luigi lol yeah. It would just be a pile of one pellets that half your Pikmin carry to an onion to reproduce and store the seeds in the onion then then Olimar and the Koppaites almost forgot Louie and another yellow carrying a pellet. Both make it safely. Then they crash and the onion shoots all those seeds out and walk to the onion and ship while escaping Bulborbs. Then they make a home, the end.
Y E S
Bring Miis (optionel)
I love this! Nintendo is really the only gaming company that would go out of their way to being so much life and fun into what would otherwise be a boring and tedious task.
That's right, like it must have taken hours to animate this!
Ben Daniels i and the fact
General Grievous Maybe even years!
Just wait till the switch version is released on to UA-cam
The 3ds had a very similar thing with the pikmin.
Just did this on my wii. Very emotional actually. It's certainly sad to be saying bye to the wii. I loved it. May the Wii u wow me in the same ways :)
Same I did this and I got sooo sad
2 years later and...
are you disappointed in the Wii U like me?
Diamond Eevee Not at all, pal. Not at all...
Connor Wood yeah. I almost immediately sold my Wii on EBay after the transfer was complete.
JoelAug20 Studios dude, don't do it. The Wii is still really amazing.
if you have a lot of data the pikmin go through all the parts and stuff but less data means less places for the pikmin to go
Owen I So I need to buy everything to have them walk around more? "MOOOOOOOM WHERES THE CREDIT CARD???"
If you have the transfer software, would it still work? Could you put the Wii version on the SD card? Just wondering because if I find a Wii with Virtual console software, I’ll put that on my Wii U. Wait, nvm.
OfficialJoeTFM nothing can be moved back
I really want a 50 terabyte hard drive now
Yeah my transfer took like 2 hours
Does anybody else want to walk around in there? Maybe, have some kind of adventure minigame?
Kind of reminds me of Castle Oblivion, really.
And, like, fight pikmin and heartless and goombas, and find treasure and stuff.
JikuAraiguma Where you play as a pikmin transferring data? Yes please
JikuAraigumaaaaaaaæ
I have an idea
You have to protect the pikmin from spoopy things like the piranha plants
A swarm of goombas
Badniks
And you have a blaster to destroy them
If you let a pikmin get hit the pikmin holding the save data will drop it and rush to pick it up
If it gets hit once more it goes faster to pick it up
If it takes one more hit it will give up on getting it and stay there until the transfer is completed
Once it is complete a pikmin will notice that one of the data is missing and will go find the other pikmin to help it pick up the dropped save data
I think it's fair to want future backwards compatibility just to get more of these animations alone
Yes,I see this being a big thing in the future, because some games just don’t lose their charm, for example super Mario Galaxy, and super Mario galaxy two are games that stands the test of time.
@@sonicfan82 Minecraft, Terraria, Portal 2, etc. There's a lot of timeless classics/masterpieces you could add to that list
@@willwunsche6940 I agree
They even used the pikmin font for the percentage! This is incredible! I wish a similar animation played whenever the Nintendo switch got an update
Installing? No. Devices often reboot multiple times for installing and a lot of work isn't wort it for an animation.
But I would like an animation while downloading it.
Hell, I'd like anything at all.
It's so... lifeless.
@@pacomatic9833very true.
5 years ago and talking about the switch. Damn
I really want this to be a reference in a bonus level of a Pikmin game. It's such an amazing thing thinking how the Pikmin are literally in the system walking around in one giant machine.
*I LOVE PIKMIN AND THIS SYSTEM TRANSFER.* *THIS IS THE MOST MEMORABLE THING IN ALL OF SYSTEM TRANSFER HISTORY AND I STILL LOVE IT TO THIS DAY*
I swear that this system transfer was the greatest thing Nintendo ever did. I don't remember how long it took for me because I had a lot of save data from my Nintendo Wii and that's including Virtual Console games but seeing this was amazing. And what better Nintendo mascots to carry over the data than the Pikmin. That was just clever.
They did this for the DSi to 3DS as well, which was great for all the software/games and voice recordings I had lol. Too bad that animation wasn't as interesting as this one
If the next console is the following to the switch, I fucking wish they do it again, and with the technogical advancement since then, it could look really fucking great
@@Steak134
The DSi to 3DS was kinda dull because the Pikmin were running in orange void (and only on the 3ds screen)
so, instead of a boring screen waiting for the data transfer they put pikmins, amazing!
it is amazing, and i'd really hate to be this guy but...
you have to say "pikmin", there is no s even when using it for plural
@@oofedultra it was three years ago, i would hardly know the difference, but... Thanks, buddy.
@@marxo6558 oh okay sorry
THIS, THIS right here is the Nintendo magic that desperately needs to be brought back with Switch 2. I hope the Switch 1 to Switch 2 transfer process is like this
Nintendo has made the most imaginative and truly wonderful way to transfer data from one game system to another. Bravo Nintendo you are truly a incredible gaming company!
If only something similar happened on the handhelds
Yes
Jason P Wilson
Midna G,amer It's just worse than this one.
XD
never had a wii or a wii U as a kid but i can only imagine the anticipation that so many families must have felt after a Christmas or a birthday. starting the transfer process and the whole family standing round watching the little guys carry the data from all your beloved games franchises over to the new device
That Wii U sure is deep.
true
that's because it's more powerful than the Wii, and Nintendo showed that through here lil
lol*
@@oka6968 r/wooosh
ITS A NEXT GEN CONSOLE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
The entire process is so adorable and emotional that I'm crying over a freaking data transfer
I really miss the little things like these... say what you want about the Wii U's failure as a console financially but man did it have personality and charm.
Pikmin: your all purpose moving crew
@Pikmanz 1 Trust me, I am aware.
WHERE DO I HIRE THEM???
Yes
Thats sooooo cute 🐻
That was me when i first played pikmin as a kid.
Then they got brutally devoured by a Bulborb
Ikr
It is cute that everybody is living the Wii?? I don't think so
Agreee
@Win98 Is The Best No one will sub to you
Nintendo is obviously the best gaming company out there. They pay so much attention to detail, it's insane
Ely Star they make the best games of any company but I still prefer my pc. It just feels like it’s my personal thing compared to my switch idk smash is fun tho
Maybe you dont know a company called Valve (at least its time before Steam begin popular)
@@juanrodriguez9971 Yeah Valve kinda sucks
Coy Boi pc gaming sucks you can only play indie games and shooters and emulate
Hoping this is satire
I want this every time I move a file on my computer, I dont care how long it takes Pikmin can take their time.
This animation is so entertaining to watch
So satisfying and relaxing watching the Pikmin carrying all your saved data through your Wii console to a rocket which is your SD card to your Wii U console

The disc is a hamster wheel for them. If the game lags the pikmin are tired

@@Hernos28 oof that one demo that never loaded and lagged those pikmin must have been dying inside the wiiu
@@Hernos28 thats fucking adorable lmao
Imagine you're someone who hasn't ever heard of pikmin in your whole life, and you try transfering data from Wii to Wii U and all of a sudden instead of a loading screen some random tiny creatures are seemingly stealing your game save files and putting them into their rocket ship.
I love how on the Wii U’s animation, the Pikmins go around different parts of the system, e.g. the fans. Nice touch!
That is one example for when I say that nintendo lost their charm with the switch era. No music in the shop, no costum designs, miis are practically dead, no quirky little animations like this anymore.
Transferring things from sd to switch is boring now.
Man,switch 2 should have charm like its ancestors.
I like this little animation, knowing that I already transferred my data from the Wii to the Wii U. It brings life to what would be a long task.
Thanks for capturing/uploading this! It's incredibly cute and interesting, and given that it's from a transfer utility from two dead platforms, it absolutely had the potential to be lost media. How cool!
That is the cutest loading screen EVER! X3
the2795gamer ,
Its not a loading screen. Its a system transfer
StarEevee IKR!
i sure hope the Switch 2 will have the similar option like this one

APOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the most rarest places to find an OSCtuber
This may have unintentionally made me want to get Pikmin 4 even more now
I wish Nintendo would, every once in a while, make a little animation like this, just for fun, and post it on their channel.
I felt so bad for that purple Pikmin for a sec, he looked so sad that he was about to be left behind :(
If only moving in real life can be this entertaining...
Oh only if
This makes me want to buy a Pikmin game. (I never played Pikmin before)
do it
Matthew Gallevo Wait until pikmin 4 or buy 3, my personal favourite is 2, it has lots of caves and dungeons
Angélica Ortega Its my favorite because there's no time limit
Matthew Gallevo I'm gonna try to buy Pikmin 1 and 2 on the Wii. Later I'll play the third installment.
LikeReacts It’s my *least* favorite cuz there is no time limit. lol
4:01 "Moving PIKMIN 2 save data from SD Card"
What a coincidence
Sorry I'm bad at typing words
Transferring data on Wii: A Pikmin movie to watch while you wait.
Transferring data on Nintendo Switch: A simple basic progress bar.
It's evolving, just backwards.
at 4:00 it says moving pikmin 2
+Drake Sierra Its the Wii version.
Yep, space and time has just been broken.
The pikmin paradox
They escaped from the code and moved all the data with it
that little pikmin got stuck in the box.
When I transferred my data, I was cheering the Pikmin on as they got closer to the Wii U.
Daniel G. Productions I like that
This makes me hope we get a cutscene like this for the Switch/Switch 2 data transfer
😢
Everything from the music to the presentation it’s so comfortable. I’ll never forget sitting in front of my tv patiently waiting for my data to transfer over, always good to be Nintendo fans!
Imagine seeing something like this in a wreck it ralph sequel
OMFG, WUD B SO CUTE!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!
its called "The Emoji Movie"
blame that on jacksfilms for that joke
Look now...
*How the fuck*
you predicted it
I just love all the pikmin references.
Just wish Nintendo could do more stuff like this.
If only Nintendo put little touches like this into the Switch. Stuff like this just made their consoles stand out more...
You can never see this on the switch, or any new consoles nowadays, really shows how the 2000’s and early 2010’s companies enjoys adding small stuff to their stuff
I'm moving files from one sd card to another and I remembered this video so now I'm watching it again to see how my stuff is getting moved
There’s always something so magical about transferring data from console to console, idk why.
Waiting for the Switch 2 transfer UI to just be a static color progress bar for 25 minutes.
I love when Pikmin show off data transfer, it's such a cute detail that anyone can appreciate and enjoy. It's makes the process way less boring.
I can't believe the pikmin are willing to do this much work!
wii wii u
It’s because of Olimar
They're willing to take down an excavator. This is cake for them.
This is unironically genius. People do not like loading screens, so it’s something has to be done to improve the user experience. If people are coming to a UA-cam video of your loading screen, then you have done an exceedingly good job with the UI
I'm really sad that we don't have things like this cute little animation on Switch :(
I miss all the little guys we had on the 3DS and Wii U that were so memorable, like everyone remembers Salesbunny from StreetPass/Arcade Bunny from Ntdo Badge Arcade, or even Nikki, the Mii girl who posted letters. Goddamn I also miss the Ntdo eShop bag with legs and a smile and the downloading animation on 3DS (the one with points being released into the game's icon)
Please Nintendo, bring them all back (or give them remarkable descendents)
tbh I forgot about those characters since I didnt spent much time with the 3DS, but heck yeah it was fun! I loved reading the Sales Bunny trying his best to sell me a deal.
Reminds me that the Switch is VERY boring.. :(
would be cool if they added some more animations to the switch
I wonder if anyone has had a power outage happen while doing this...I bet that screwed it all up.
Rip data
or a power surge. EVERYBODY WHO DOES THIS TRANSFER PLEASE BUY A SURGE PROTECTOR AND CONNECT IT TO A REALLY BIG POWER BANK.
Pikmin: who turned out the lights?!
@@Coolspie234 think about it turning off in the stairs
the horror
@@Nt249 I have good news for you: It's called a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply), and you can install tham on any wall socket.
This made me sad...
I DONT KNOW WHY...! ;(
Cause rip wii
Rip wii November 19 2006 to October 20 2013 we will never for get you wii
Here's more bad news.... Wii Shop is gone forever
SilverStrike go away
RIP WII WAIT WII U
I remember doing this years ago and being transfixed on the music and animation. Only Nintendo can make transferring data a beautiful experience.
I almost cried from happiness when I first saw this transfer screen. It's altogether fitting that the last thing I do on my Wii is accompanied by the friends from my favorite game of all time, which I had played to death on the system (GC backwards compatibility). And it's like the Pikmin are migrating from the wii to the wii u, just like we are. Pikmin 3 is coming up, after all. So I say, goodbye old friend, and hello new opportunities :)
Purple Pikmin: Hey! Wait for me! Ow I tripped.
(Door closes)
Purple Pikmin: Dang it. Late as always. I'm just gonna go.
(Door opens)
Purple Pikmin: Oh look. It's open! I'll go in too!
That's me when no one wants me to go with them lpl
😂lol
Lol😂
I remembered that when I did the transfer from wii to Wii U, it took a few hours (50+ games)
Michael Schiro I thought it said a few games (50+ hours.)
Luke James Turner wow
@@lakerturner7155
lol that would be kinda dumb right
"10 or less games: 48 hours"
aint nobody got time for dat
They should’ve added a detail if your data transfer takes at least an hour the Pikmin just get tired and cheer less
You made the pikmin walk some ways to transfer your data
1:04 the fact that when the transfer is finished in the background but the animation is STILL playing makes the pikmin go faster with the whistle sound olimar makes when he moves pikmin around in a line instead of just cutting off the animation with a fade to white to show the end result just goes to show the absolute GODS of attention to detail nintendo really is
The Pikmin are the best way to transport save data,they better do this with switch 1 to switch 2
Stuff like this just went after Iwata died. We don't even get menu or shop music, anymore.
Going back to this gives me soo much nostalgia i just love how they put so much thought into the little things
This is the kind of stuff I'm hoping to see on the Switch's successor.
The Switch is _waaaaaayyy_ too stale.
1:21 for 1 second I got depressive
Imagine if Nintendo makes a part 2 for transferring your Switch data to your Switch 2
If the Switch 2 allows data transfer it would be cool to see something like this but with all the new Pikmin as well
Lol the purple pikmin that was left was hillarious it is in 1:27
Yeah
I was like "NOOO LEGEND OF ZELDA TWILIGHT PRINCESS DON'T LEAVE ME!!!" then the ship came back and I was like "Phew!"
Xavier Escudero that purple pikmin is me tbh
They didn't had to do a whole animation for the transfer, on both consoles' sides.
But they did anyway.
Nintendo is one of the few that really puts a lot of attention to details, even in spite of what they've become these days.
I guess they have created this sequence because they knew that the loading times of the two consoles are long so they compensated it by an actual scenery of the things happening in the background
Damn I hope Windows had something like that
I was crying because all the memories came back to me
that’s what happened to me when the pikmin moved all my data.
galaxy, skyward sword, metroid prime 3.....omg i was sobbing
2:28 "Wii Shop Channel purchase records have been moved."
RIP
I better see shit like this when I transfer my data from my switch to my switch 2
"Thank you for being a part of the Wii adventure. We hope you will have an equally enjoyable experience on the Wii U." ...or so it could have been.
Imagine having this on the Switch, but the Wii U área is old and dusty because there's no one using it, then they arrive to the Switch and everything is beautiful and new
Anne Noir everything is broken because the Switch dies for no reason
I wish I knew about this when I first got my Wii U. I not only would have been able to transfer my Wii data to my Wii U, but I would have also been able to watch this amazing animation too.
I wish Nintendo still did cool stuff like this
Pikmin is secretly Nintendo's favorite child
We can tell with Pikmin 4
i thought the 3ds downloading animation was goofy, i was actually found this amazing, i already love these guys enough they didn't have to make me love em more god damnit :D
Im tired of Nintendo being so professional like no i don't want a boring ass bar i want pikmin
This honestly made me cry as a kid
2023. We’ve been had that flat boring menu on the switch since the 2017. Wake up Nintendo
I agree, we seriously need an update on the Switch menu. With the option to change it back.
Sometimes I purposefully delete all my wii U wii save files just to let the little Pikmin in it have something to do
For something a very select number of people will only see one time, they went hard as hell on this animation
I love the detail of the purple Pikmin that almost got left behind sleeping at the start of the animation, and then there being another sleeping purple Pikmin on the Wii U that eventually joins them
I really wish they can do this on the switch and switch 2 that would be amazing!
The worst part about this this animation is that I'll never get to see it again. I remember me and my brother being amazed to see them carry our data and eshop games like World of Goo and that aquarium one over to the new system. I kind of wish I was smart enough to have recorded it, but I was like 14 and didn't even consider it at the time.
They better bring this stuff back for the Switch 2
