    NOSTALGIA ALERT
    The Wii U may not have sold well, but in my opinion, it was a great console. The games on it are to this day some of the best games Nintendo has ever made. I thought I'd make a little tribute, especially since the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS eShops are being shut down in 2023.
    Thank you, Wii U.

    The one thing the Wii U has over the Switch, virtual console aside:
    A more charming menu and game booting transition.
    Let's hope that the Switch 2 will bring these types of transitions back.

    • @DawstheYTBoss
      @DawstheYTBoss 6 місяців тому +31

      I feel like for the release of the switch 2 they might update the themes and add music. I don’t think they’ll add gane transitions but I do think they’ll have a update for old switches, and new switches that will just have new UI styles that a way it’s easier to advertise that it’s a “new” console so they don’t screw up like they did with WiiU

      @ggnicklu 5 місяців тому +32

      On one hand I agree with you, the Wii U had way more charm and personality system wise than the switch.
      But we need to consider what these are: loading screens. Some of these being especially loooooong. I gotta say this has its charm, but I prefer a faster loading console than one that has a cute image that pops up for 2 minutes every time I boot up the game

      Charming *and* practical. The 3DS and Wii U folders really came in handy to organize games and apps. Looking for a game on the Switch when you have many is so freaking annoying. They implemented folders with an update after years lacking them, but they did in such a freaking unconfortable way...

      And for my 6th birthday, my aunt bought me Yoshi's Woolly World for my Wii U, and I remember playing like 5 rounds of Smash Bros, moving on to Super Mario 3D World and playing like until World 7 with 3 other kids at my party, and then taking turns with my brother and other kids at my party in Nintendo Land at Octopus Dance and playing with my brother at the Pikmin one.
      My favorite Nintendo Land games are probably the Mario Chase and the Luigi's Mansion one.
      The moment my aunt brought Yoshi's Woolly World, I automatically took the Super Smash Bros disk out of the console, and put the Yoshi's Woolly World one in the console, and just played until like World 3 on it.

Like these loading screens appear but it just keeps trying to load. Something interesting I found is when you boot the game shortly after startup, it actually loads but no save data appears.

    2:37 it's probably the one that makes me the most nostalgic, even tho I use to play other games on Wii U. Paper Mario Color Splash has somehow a very special place in my heart. I absolutly loved it when I first played it, but then, because I couldn't beat Bowser as a kid, I gave up and forgot the game. Last year, I thought about it and I decided to replay it. And wow. It was the exact same feelings as when I was younger. But while searching up for some content about this game, I discovered it was pretty unliked, because of its battle system. It made me sad. I still don't understand all the bad criticts this game get. The battle system didn't really bothered me ; and the rest of the game is very good. It's music especially, it's SO good, I keep listening to it sometimes to work.
    I want to give more credit to this game and also to the Wii U, which is a HUGE part of my childhood and teenagehood, and made me also discover Splatoon, which is my favorite game series of all time for now.

    • @MoonMarshmallow
      @MoonMarshmallow 4 місяці тому +1

      if you liked color splash i highly recommend the earlier entries like Paper Mario (the first one on N64 and Paper Mario the thousand year door! they're both dearly beloved games for a reason!
      really though if you ask me, i think its expectations, that made everyone hate it, people wanted something more akin to the first two games in the series (e.g. partners, badges, NPCs that aren't just toads, etc.) but instead they went with a wildly different formula which is... polarizing to say the least.

    • @locklaicy
      @locklaicy 4 місяці тому

      @@MoonMarshmallow thanks for the recommandations! I already thought about getting TTYD when it'll release on the switch.
      About the expected stuff, in particular the NPCs being Toads, from what I've seen it's because Nintendo restricted the studio which developpes the Paper Mario games, because they didn't appreciated that much how the developpers went free on various characters. They wanted to have something that stitches perfectly with the Mario brand, and it was getting too far away from it so they restricted.

    • @zaden2009
      @zaden2009 3 місяці тому +2

      Yeah, i also really liked paper msrio color splash! When i hear critics about the game, i'm like, "why does nobody like this game? It's a very good game!" And when i do it talks about the fact there is no experience points, and you can only use the card once, and here is what i think about it:
      There IS an experience system, it's the hammer scraps. When you finish a battle, you get some of them, at different tiers. Once you get an amount of them, you level up to more paint, much like experience system. And for the card one time use? I didn't mind it, i always had more than enough, even when i was fighting most enemies. So, i really like color splash, and i don't get why nobody does.
      PS: i don't like sticker star's final boss
