This isn't a retrospective... it's traumadumping...
2:00:58
N me watching this was trauma bonding
It was a traumatic experience. Not being associated with a wii u owner gave a boosted 150% chance increase in getting laid in high school
It’s the wiiu, talking about it even a little bit counts as trauma dumping
the ending 💀
the fact that this still isn’t the end is insane. you can really tell that since scott lived through the wii u era so intently & focused on the console he has so much more of a connection to this era of nintendo
Scott's trauma dumping on us lol
this is the next hyped up stranger things finale episode for about 2 hours and 24 minutes deep dive into the lore of the wii u games for the last decade (i didn't bought a wii u because my mom never got me interested)
Mario Party 10 was the breaking point for him.
the fact that this is not the only series of scott about the wiiu is insane.
And its crazy cause i had the same experience and i realize that me and scott are very close in age 😭
This entire trilogy is what "don't even get me started" looks like
We got him started
Now you've done it, now I'm started!
"The year of Luigi is over... return the hostages" might be my new favorite Scott joke. Had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard
that is an insane line
Lmao 🤣
Woz spitting Fire 🔥
I loved that too lol
Sometimes Scott's jokes can feel a bit forced but that was very very funny
this trilogy is gonna have a longer life cycle than the WiiU
And more support.
wii u part 3 is gonna be a super duper cut approximately 4 hours long than any other boring documentaries on the internet about movies
@@notkimpine
watching a very long movie: sorry, i can't, i would sleep.
4 hours of Scott talking about the wiiU: I'm on it.
scott is the king of rambling about nintendo since the government of politics
The original came out in May 2023 I believe, this just came out on January 31st, 2024 and I’d say Part III will come out in November for the Wii U’s 12th anniversary. The Switch 2 might be out by then and that’s the Wii U’s successor’s successor.
Scott the Woz is making a damn trilogy
…Again!
Epic
Not since the Dark Age of Nintendo…funny that we’re covering the same time period. So much went wrong.
Truly the attack of the Clones of the ScottTheWoz universe
That means he’s better than valve!
56:33 "I've never gotten it to work consistently"
Draws worst circle ever known to man
Scott draws worst circle ever, Asked to leave the wonderful 101

cool seeing you here
The most hyped I’ve been for a sequel since The Empire Strikes Back.
And as a wise man from said franchise once said "I`ve been looking forward to this."

Nice
why scott never talked about the croods game based on an animated movie? i hope in the next wii u saga. scott finally talked about the croods or just simply talk shit about new nintendo games to come out on the fucking shit ass nintendo console from 2015 to downfall year 2017
@@notkimpine What did the Croods do to you brother?
@@notkimpine bro woke up SO MAD that the croods exist

So true!
This comment changed my life. Thank you
I was going to end it all today but then i read this comment
What?
These videos about the Wii U really put into perspective how the Switch and the marketing Nintendo did for it were them learning from all of their mistakes from the Wii U era
And to think people have nostalgia for the dark ages of this company.
I watched the Switch's reveal trailer 15 times the day it realeased. They really learned how to sell a new product and appeal to everyone.
@@D3D3Ddespite my hype, I still wanted a WiiU, finally getting it in Christmas of 2016. I had my fun with it and still play it in from time to time. But I’m glad I did that, since as a gift for finishing high school, I finally got a Switch in 2020. And it was the revised version with a longer battery life. I’d say, I got the Switch at pretty much the perfect time.
They tried as hard as possible to not recreate that mess. But I kinda like how shitty those ads are. It is a "It’s so bad it’s good” situation.
Especially the Amiibo ad where a kid wants to impress a girl he wants to frick.
I still think the Wii U is good enough to make the Switch not worth owning
“It’s about as close as Lego Shawshank as we get “
- Scott the Woz (2024) on Lego city undercover
It would have been 2023, if this episode came out at the end of last year darn.
Morgan freeman actually plays one of the prisoners in the game
"This game doesnt have great 3D exploration" is a crazy opinion though. 100%ing the game is so much fun if you go district by district and you really breath in the 3D modelling that went into the city and all of its roof top areas, the little parks nestled between Skyscrapers, its underground passages, worldbuilding found in the areas etc.

Earthbound releasing on the WiiU made it so that long time Earthbound fans can finally play Earthbound for the first time.
Yeah. Mother and Mother 2/Earthbound were both notable when they came out, but they really show their age.
Mother 3 though? That game feels right at home with the indie games it helped inspire like Lisa: The Painful (2014) and Undertale (2015), so 2013 was the perfect time for Nintendo to rerelease it! Which is why they released it for Wii U Virtual Console in 2016. In Japan only.
@@SnakebitSTI My joke was most Earthbound fans say they're fans without ever playing Earthbound.
Real.
@@No-Ink my cartridge disappeared somehow, my dad bought it when I was like 1 and basically gave up video games right after lol, it's probably the greatest single thing I've ever lost
I can't believe Scott went into the 10th layer of hell just to fish up the last remaining Wii U in existence in order to continue making this series. Really love his dedication, god bless

Scott is the reason I became obsessed with collecting Wii U games and stuff. Anytime I run into a retro game store, anyone I talk to about it always dunks on the Wii U but from my childhood experiences and hearing Scott’s I’ll always have a special place for the Wii U in my heart
People act like it was some sort of console from hell but the Wii U was a super fun time. It's seriously one of my favourite consoles of all time, I don't really care if it didn't stand up to its competitors or if it had a bad release schedule. It was fun and at the end of the day, that's _really_ what makes a video game console good.
True. Wii U will always personally be in my top 3.
To me, it's simply the best console of this millennium. Bought it originally for Zelda (yes, because FU money - why would I need a console anyway?) then I discovered all the fun local multiplayer titles. It's just something different having friends over for smash or mario kart than playing online on the PC. Then I discovered all the other fun Wii u titles (there weren't many, but things like Fatal Frame stand out). And then all the Wii and GCN titles I missed out on since I never had those consoles. And then Nintendo brought PC Engine titles to the Virtual Console. Gameplay on the pad reminds me of the Atari Lynx I once had.
Scotts casualties: +1
It’s one of the best consoles if you hack it, I’ll give it that.
1:17:06 There is something so inherently comedic about having Super Mario 3D World music play to Batman: Arkham Origins footage.

Scott would have named this the “Dark age of Nintendo” but another guy named scatt zowiniak already made a 3 part multi hour longed series called that
but scott improves a lot of syllalbles for making a wii u episode for 2 hours on end
The Dark Age of Nintendo was completely different, it covered 3 of Nintendo’s worst games from 2015 to 2016 on both the Wii U & 3DS/2DS. This series on the other hand is simply covering just the Wii U’s entire history, both negative and positive. Same time period yes same series no.
As a person who endured the Wii U era exactly the same, this is soooo good. Well done, interesting, and really does a good job showing the highs and lows. I think it's important to emphasize the absolute HYPE around the PS4 going on simultaneously. The general population weren't even looking at the Nintendo aisle in a Walmart.
There was a hype around the PS4?
When it was released I saw that it was just a PC. No "other OS" like the PS3. I immediately dismissed it.
(not that I dislike sony, I still have my PSP Slim, which is great)
There was less hype around the ps4 than the switch, and the switch has had only a decent amount of it. This is when the “sweaty virgin gamer” stereotype that emerged in the 7th gen was solidified, gaming was still quite unpopular
2:15:52 It’s still unbelievable they got the Robot Chicken guys to help the Direct.
i'll always admire scott's comedic timing, alot of times i cry laughing from him delivering the simplest of jokes.

I blew my lips when he said
I really appreciate how passionate Scott is about the worst moment in Nintendo's history and how much effort he puts in transmitting it to us.
He’s not talked about the virtual boy… Yet
He actually did a few years ago
@@platinum3690 Oh! I forgot about that!
@@PeacefulAutistic I mean the Virtual Boy was more of a side thing, the Wii U was pretty much the main thing going on.
55:44 Especially for this game that used the WARIO font
Being a huge Nintendo fan during the Wii U era was traumatic. Constantly anticipating something incredible to be announced and being disappointed with nothing or delays. I was sold on it with the announcement of Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon, plus the reveal of "Zelda Wii U". After Splatoon came out, I was waiting for the console to either die and also for Breath of the wild to come out. 2016 was probably the worst yet.
It's crazy how all that made the Wii U community feel more personal and passionate, and has maintained that long after it's death.
Vita fans and WiiU fans felt the same thing that generation. Lol
2:04:22 “such a special time…” literally lol’ed such a perfect delivery
Just want to say i really appreciate that all of Scotts funny memeable clips are actually him doing something and not just an insert of a random show or movie character doing something. That is so overplayed and its refreshing to see Scott continue to be original.
scott never forgets talking about the croods game on the wii u and they skipped the segment of mario 3d world
I’ve thought this many times as well. What keeps me coming back to Scott’s channel is how dedicated he is to creating his own iconic cutaways and comedic skits, using only him and his friends. Even when he does use game play footage to make a joke, he always seems to use his own gameplay.
Scott actually yelling at the gamepad for the "Need For Speed use the microphone to accelerate" joke killed me

this is why scott suffers talking about nintendo a lot and they suffers stuttering speech talking about stupid nintendo games A LOT FOR 2 HOURS! 2 HOURS! (i'm talking to you gideon graves)
12:07 One of my favorite Scott moments😂
Scott never ceases to impress me with his humor. Even a quote like "Oh my God, it's that statement's evil twin!" [from the part of this video where he talks about Wii Fit U and Wii Sports] is somehow random, yet intelligent at the same time. It's such a perfectly 'Scott the Woz' thing to say.
I’ve spent an unreasonable amount of time in my life listening to Scott talk about the Wii U.
And I don’t regret a second of it.
More fun than owning and using a wii u.

11:35 pov:how 3ds users saw Wii U fans at that time
The dichotomy between Scott’s love and happiness flowing out of him is such a stark contrast to well… a not very good system. True love and passion for what’s being talked about , while tears roll down his cheeks at what could have been.
1:35:00 Scott picks on the one white kid with brown hair and glasses. This must’ve been personal.
He should imagine what it's like to be a white guy with brown hair and glasses.
Friendly fire will not be tolerated.
Our eyes are too sensitive for contact lenses.
One of the several reasons i love scott the woz is he releases a movie length youtube video and manages to make it more quality, funnier, and less monetized than half the movies you'd go to see in a theater nowadays.
Which is why i think we should show a scott the woz video in a movie theater.
id go see it lol
@@brocklee6097same, de keep rewatching
We need to book a Fandom theater event… if MST3K can do it our Scottie boy surely could!
My sister works at a movie theater, I'll see if she can contact the entire Cinemark company to reach out to Scott for a movie deal.
this is why i don't going to the movie theater because all modern movies sucks ass. oppenheimer? boring. barbie? nada! madame web? WOKE! the marvels? MEDIOCRE! the new mad max movie!? FUCK OFF!
I love how the Wii U library is so pitifully small that you have to keep shuffling in games you just talked about to fill up more space when talking about multiple games
10:05 behold, the only time SMT will appear on Scott the Woz

Wasn't "Hey all"? I thought that was solved!
Bruh where tf are you hearing the Y sound
The next "Scott the Woz but all 'Hey all' are synced" video is going to be several hours long 💀
scott the woz is now acting like a demonic baby talking about nintendo in each episode because i was getting goosebumps on scott's impression on nintendo wii u downfall until scott is in a coma talking and bantering about nintendo for 2 hours. 2 hours and 24 minutes long
Wii-U is 100% a huge success in the macro view.
It was a salesman’s sample field test prototype of an earlier iteration of the SWITCH.
And switch by mid 2025 will have eclipsed PS2 “unattainable” #1 alltime sales position.
I wouldn’t call it a prototype, I’d call it the last and greatest of the old Nintendo that would lead directly to the massive success of the Switch and a whole new Nintendo.
Bought a Wii U in December, homrebrewed it and have been playing it non stop ever since. Love that thing!
The homebrew on the Wii U truly is goated. You can play pretty much anything from any previous console in existence, even DS and probably 3DS/2DS.
1:05:43 You gushing about the Wind Waker HD kept a wide smile across my face the whole segment. The Wii U Version has become my favorite game of all time and its always a joy to hear the thousands of people that have also stated it's high strengths!

Loving this series so far! Although the Wii U failed, the feeling of community it brought was unrivaled. Owning a Wii U was like being apart of a club, as Scott states in the video, the only people that owned a Wii U for the most part we’re Nintendo fans, and it felt amazing when Nintendo delivered time after time with software, until eventually it dwindled out in favor of the switch (which is also amazing) But man, being a Nintendo fan during this time really was awesome, as much as it was devastating.. I’m looking at you Metroid..
...F-Zero..

Literally none of them.
To be fair... this is the only SMT x FE trailer. The next time they showed the game, it was the TMS we all know now.
You can acctully see the progression Nintendo is making trough the years in this video. Not saving the WiiU but more so learning and movin the company into new grounds

The Wii U sold nearly as many units as there are Jews in the world (14 Million VS. 15 Million).
Nintendo Wii U: Better than the Virtual Boy. And the 64 DD. I'm curious how Satellaview owners think the Wii U stacks up.

Not really. Never had a 3DS. Already had a PSP and a DSi.

That's pretty normal for UA-cam though. The only two choices for video content these days are either videos that are less than thirty seconds, or things that are really bloody long, like LS Mark's TV retrospectives, Jay Exci's big Doctor Who video, that massive Bomberman video that took me over a week to watch, and this.

Try out fatal frame. Turn off the lights in the room and crank up the volume of your speakers.
Maybe also set aside a fresh pair of undies.
Back in 2013 my Wii broke and my mom wanted to get a replacement and since the Wii U played Wii games, she thought it was a good deal. My dad liked that it was in HD
It's basically the best gamecube version available.
(the wii was nothing but a modernized gamecube)
The Wii is upgraded GameCube hardware. It's something Nintendo picked up a bit of a habit of. The Game Boy Color is an upgraded Game Boy, the DSi is an upgraded DS, the New 3DS is an upgraded 3DS. I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch's successor follows that pattern.
@@SnakebitSTI Exactly. This is also why we know that the Switch is primarily a mobile console. It's based on the ARM architecture which has been introduced with the GBA and retained ever since. The Switch has technologically nothing in common with the GCN/Wii/Wii U.
@@svr5423 Honestly, given the state of console hardware, I wouldn't object to even non-mobile consoles focusing more on efficiency at this point. Generational improvements just aren't wowing me like they used to, while consoles are getting bigger and louder.
As for mobile, well, messing about with old handhelds has reminded me how wonderful it is to not have to worry about remembering to plug in your handheld over night.
@@SnakebitSTI In my view, the generational improvements have been toned down because game developers are unable to keep up with Hardware development.
It doesn't make much sense to release a new, costly and potent hardware when the games cannot make use of it.
I'm not short of budget, but my PC, which is also used for 4k gaming, is now almost 9 years old.
I've also noticed consoles getting bigger. The PS5 at my clients' is humongous. Louder is just a result of cooling. Consoles typically don't use maintenance-heavy and fragile watercooling like PCs do, and when they are small, they need to produce fast air flow. Fortunately, power requirements are coming down with more efficient hardware.
I also agree with you, currently it is a goal to become more efficient, both for PCs and consoles.
14:03 its so satisfying to finally go past this part 😭
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you to all involved

The fact that this man made a retrospective on the Wii U that is longer than most feature films, and it’s only one of 3, speaks to the bright future of cinema
Persona 3 Reload and Scott The Woz video on the same day is a goated combo
i've kinda gets me same energy as barbenheimer because the movie release date are the fucking same
yh lmao@@notkimpine
39:57 Coincidentally, I too played Sketch today with my family. It's a hassle to plug back the gamepad every time we dust it out, but goddamn the fun is worth it!
13:17 Just you wait until Lego City Undercover comes Out
This truly is the GameCube of Nintendo consoles
1:35:04 the funny thing is, that kid is literally Scott 15-years ago
As someone who did a jumpless challenge for DKC Tropical Freeze, I have to say that Cranky Kong was extremely useful to me, and it helped create one of the most unique and fun challenges that I’ve ever done.
1:19:20 I remember back in the day when SM3DW came out, I had so much contempt for it, it looked like "just another Mario game" i only gave it a chance when the Deluxe version came out on the switch and after I played Odyssey. Bro, SM3DW is one of the best platformers ever made, it's so good, and Bowser's Fury is also a stroke of genius
Always love when scott makes a sequel/trilogy to a video topic. Great episode, as always.
32:24 the timing killed me 😂
Man, this was the generation where I just felt embarrassed to be a Nintendo fan.
The 3DS had some *amazing* games that I had a great time playing with my Navy shipmates and still look back on fondly.
... but I wanted nothing to do with the Wii U.
It's the only Nintendo home console I avoided like the plague in my 30 years of existence.
Are you one of the 85% of the military that now identifies as trans?

Propaganda?
I’m personally going to disagree with you about the 3DS/2DS and Wii U. The 3DS/2DS had tons of great games but if you ask me the Wii U is better because it has games like that but even better and more features as well.
@@ianeons9278, no, just a gay joke.
*edit - I guess I could of just said "well you are a Navy boy..."
I'm guessing you're not familiar with or are younger than the Virtual Boy. And I would say the 64 DD, but that was such a failure that few people outside Japan even knew it existed.
I have such indescribable nostalgia for the 2014 E3 and the entirety of the smash 4 pre-release hype train, what a throwback
Iwata wearing a Luigi hat is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
A lot of the Lego City Undercover criticisms were actually fixed when it was remastered for other systems in 2017. Of course you have the fact it's multiplatform, but they also shortened the loading times and added co-op.
to be fair, consoles have always much longer loading times.
But yeah, most of the loading times are caused by bad software. It boils my blood when I look at the IOPS when "loading" and NOTHING happens. CPU/GPU idling as well.
1:56:06 "Return the hostages." LMAO 😂
This is Scott's FF7 remake, and i cant wait to see part III in 5-6 years
On February 26, 2024 at approximately 2:16 AM, I finished this video and thus, finished every single main channel Scott the Woz video that exists as of this moment. It took me about a month. I'll circle back to the "Best Of" compilations soon but for now, I just want to document raw victory. I gotta go outside more.
