I love a good Wii! Which Wii color is your favorite? The red is pretty slick, but the white is the most nostalgic since it’s what I grew up with.
red wii=goated
@@bridgett_playzaggred best ever pm anything easy goat
Red
White it’s a classic
Bring out the ukele.
They had Netflix on... For 5 hours... On a Valentine's Day. Bro was busy LMAO
Hmmm are there 5 hour movies on netflix… or what do you mean ;D
Bro really took Netflix and chill to the next level
Netflix and Chill: multiplayer mode
@maxnum1sgameclub263 Well Documentaries and episode series.. Yeah, you can get 5 hours easy..
Only people pulling off those long Netflix and Chill marathon are early 20s and teenagers.. 😂 Ain't no way anyone 30 on up is pulling off a 5 hour marathon..
The black Wii with the Japanese case could actually be a Japanese Wii, but flashed with the American Wii Menu which could explain why Wii Sports had an update since some files could be missing after flashing the American Wii Menu, but that might be a bit of a stretch.
That sounds more plausible than just the Japanese disc drive being replaced for an American disc drive, like another comment suggested
I mean, the wii was already on 4.3U (last update for the wii) before he updated it so, makes sense
nah i remember people did that back in the day, system update was one of the symptoms if i remember
@@AmphiumHQ The console is already on the latest Wii Menu version (4.3) which came out in 2010 and Wii Sports came out in 2006 (revision 1 discs in 2007) so there isn't really a reason why it would normally update.
@@auto1lija not sure then, i just remember that being a symptom with some games after changing regions through homebrew
Are you seriously the person that kept out bidding me?
lol, he prob did xd
Lol
How much did he pay for it? Also nice, 69 likes.
I would probably be the most ticked off person if I got outbidded and then saw a video on his channel with the product I was trying to buy.
Jacob needs his content
Genuinely surprised none of these had the homebrew channel
fr
So true
its in th SD Card i think
@@Paanpuits usually got a channel on the wii menu to boot it
@@bailey7657 K thanks
Also, you can exceed 24 hours of game time in the logs by leaving something running over night. If you change games just after midnight, and then close just before the next midnight, you can clock nearly 48 hours lol. Source: I used to leave games on over night sometimes.
FIRE HAZARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@YoureARokstarr How is it a fire hazard? Have you ever had a console catch fire?
@@mystraunt2705lol ikr... I mean maybe kind of weird but fwiw not a fire hazard if not leaving it in a unwise or foolishly dusty/flammabke area etc fwiw.
@@DontReadMyBio2 as long as your console isn't making a weird noises and all of the cables are in decent shape, it's not a fire hazard. trust me, I left my Wii running for about 2 months strait.
I think it was over 24 hours because it was played on the day that daylight savings fell on ( it said November 4th on the calendar)
Fun fact about the first Wii in the video, you can usually tell what region a console has based on the update version in the top right of the system settings menu at shown at 1:10. At that time stamp, you can see that it says: 4.3U, therefore this is in fact a North American region Wii and hence why it read North American Wii and Gamecube games no problem.
So you are most likely correct that someone strangely did a case swap on this Nintendo Wii with a Japanese Wii for some reason.
Also could be a region swap.
homebrew and region unlock, can make any internals become any region.
also, at 2:50 you can see it says that it detected unauthorized modifications
@@kevinwheeler4061 Not the case. The disc had an update on it; that message is shown as a warning that _if_ the console has unauthorized modifications, the update could remove them. It is shown whenever an update is conducted, whether the console is modded or not.
I once modded a Wii to have a different case. bought on AliExpress and had a Japanese replacement sticker. Might be that simple. @@Tearnalte
Finding a GameCube game in a Wii is like having a curly fry in a basket of regular fries.
The reason for the lack of data on the SD cards is a lot of people thought you needed one for memory to save games or you know etcetera etcetera
The Nextar USA Maps is probably a data card for a car GPS. Those are often what dealers charge $300+ for to enable mapping to the infotainment unit. For it to turn up in a Wii is pretty funny.
5:11 I have no doubt that this is the Wii that my mum sold that belonged to my father and did not authorize her to sell (classic case of “I want weed and beer money but your child support money isn’t enough”)
what makes you think that?
@@ek8710 maybe the beads?
Fact: Prior to pandemic times, my wii hadn’t been played since March 2011
If you leave the Wii on for over a day straight, it will just say 23:59 for whatever was open on the day that it was closed.
Ohh gotcha, thanks for the info
we used to have a local DJ named deuce that i hated, i always would call in the radio station when he was on and yell "drop the DEUCE!" and hang up lol
😂😂
That sd card is totally meant to update the maps data for a gps built into a honda Odyssey minivan. Very appropriate to end up in a wii lmao
Netflix on the wii after highschool, every day
The boy probably tried inserting the SD card from his mom’s camera to use up the storage but couldn’t figure out how to delete those photos 💀
1000% expected the piece of paper to say ‘pls subscribe and hit the bell’ when you pulled it out 😂
If you haven't had the idea already it would be cool if you put "Let's plug it in and see if it works." On some merch.
That’s funny 😂
Thanks man! Been watching every upload for quite a while. Love your stuff! Great to relax to when I get home from work.
My Wii still has its flaps. I think people either remove them if they use the gamecube ports often, or they break off from being left open. More often I hear that they were removed and lost.
I always removed the GC port cover because I always kept my Wavebird recievers in the ports. I just stored the port cover in the Wii box.
My old wiis flaps got loose overtime. never messed with it or anything
@@ZombieDawg I feel like this is why that one flap is always kind of intact. Because you can have the gamecube memory cards in while the flap is on. And it's a little more of a nuisance to keep the gamecube port cover flap on in my experience. Because it truly does feel like there are more wiis with gamecube cover flaps than the gamecube controller cover flaps.
fyi the wii can get system updates from discs if the owner didnt have wifi
A few years ago, I picked up a red Wii from a local thrift store for $40- came with a second matching red Wiimote and two red nunchucks. Worked perfectly, and it's in pretty good shape.
I remember seeing this on the stores. It was Mario - Red - edition, sold at the same time s Super Mario 25th Anniversary Limited edition.
No it's the wii family edition
, my aunt owns one and has the box on display
My Wii has both flaps and actually looked like the GameCube controller port was never used. It was also in great condition too. It wasn’t complete though but it wasn’t a bad deal. I eventually got the parts that were missing for cheap anyways. Still no box though
My flaps being intact are also probably because I rarely used the GameCube ports
@@jrob0021 I used to have an original Wii when I was young. Never even knew it was GameCube compatible then so that does happen sometimes. That Wii was sold for the Wii U back then that I also don’t have anymore since back then my parents always sold a console for the newest one. Atleast now I don’t have to do that anymore.
@@PikachuLover0927switch to PS4 be like:
I was lucky and bought a GC backwards compatible Wii a few years ago from good will for $40 and it was pretty much never used.
Someone bought it for that balance board, used it a few times and just stop using it. it didn't have a single scratch on the case and both doors are on it (they still are).
I soft modded it and put all my games on a USB HDD, slapped Nintendont on it so I wouldn't have to use the GameCube ports.
I have a red Wii, and honestly, I absolutely love it. It's just so normal to see the white or black ones, so having the different color is so nice.
Wjy do few comsoles from nintendo have fwiw during the wii era have many colors vs the other nintnedo consoles fro mwhat I have foudn on internet images fwiw, of various videogames.
I have a red one now with gamecube game support, with the memory card slots and everything. Such a nice lookin thing.
I'm still rocking the original Wii I got as a kid when they first came out lmao both flaps still on it and it's now modded with a 128GB SD card in it. A lot of the local ones on marketplace are missing the flaps though and I genuinly don't know how they get lost, mine has been moved 6 times and has sustained exactly zero damage.
You mean you MoVeD it!? The Oils on your fingers have TaRniShEd tHe Wii FiNisH!
Man I was high af when I said that ion even remember 🤣😭
I broke the flaps of my wii within like 1 year of use
9:22 Jiga Tech quivering in envy as he sees that someone has ISpy Spooky Mansion
My wii was bought at launch or shortly after launch, like late 2006 or early 2007, i don't exactly remember, but I still have the 2 flaps on the top of the wii. My wii is like around 17 years old, and it still works perfectly fine, other than the disc drive sounds like it needs some oil replacement on the gears, but other than that my wii is still fully functional.
Texas haul and hampton haul so entertaining
In 2008, when I first got my Wii, I watched quite a bit of Netflix on it. It was the easiest way to stream it on my TV at the time.
I used my Wii for (local) streaming right from the very beginning. There was some software for PC that would let you serve video files off your hard drive through a web interface over your LAN that you could open in the Wii browser by putting the IP address of your PC in the address bar. We used it to play downloaded anime fansubs, etc on the living room TV.
i remember streaming and having to use the netflix disc. also had the SD card setup with emulators. low-key watching to see if somehow my old wii wound up in your haul😆
Wouldn't surprise me if whoever put that Mario Kart Wii disc in upside down just accidentally tested the Wii upside down. I mean, unlike the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (or pretty much any other game console), its obvious when the system is upside down. But not so much with the Wii. It really was the first system that looks normal when upside down (the Wii U would also appear rather normal upside down)
True
The Wii U is an oval
@@YoungMrBlue but other than rubber feet on the bottom of it, it could accidentally be placed upside down....its not like the PS3 where it can't sit flat upside down or the xbox 360 where it would be obvious its upside down when you eject the disk tray...
The ps5 (vertically )messed me up when I first got it as well.
13:33 BRO A MASS EFFECT REFERENCE LETS GO
I feel like that is jacob's quest. To find all the lost consoles and collect all the free games inside. Doin god's work lol.
I was pretty high when I first watched his videos and now I am addicted to his yt and not addicted to drugs
duuuude i just bought a wii from a Savers for 20 bucks and the only things wrong with it were busted hinges for the gamecube ports and the fact it had the wrong region's plug. what's kinda funny is one of the miis that were still on it on it has my name
it was meant to be!
Anyone else notice that one of the aquaintances at 11:04 was desmond miles from assassins creed lol they seem to have played multiple consoles. a true gamer.
The fact that the wii was literally called Monkey and that’s racist 💀💀💀💀
Love this channel and now I’m mad at myself for not getting a Wii. I never knew they played GameCube games.
Not all Wiis work with GameCube games so be careful when buying a Wii so that you get the older model that has the GameCube support.
I still have the flap on my Wii! My high school AP Calculus teacher gave it to me when she retired🤣
My grandparents have a launch Wii and it surprisingly still has its flaps
to check for a modded wiii hold reset to see if it has priiloader installed which is a pretty common tool for changing the wii's region and dashboard as far as im aware
Ooh hehe fwiw just out of mere hope for it to be modded.. imma do that to both my wii fam editions/both my wiis and hope soemthign cool occurs.
@@bsanchez3563you could also mod them yourself, it's not hard to do nowadays
On the Japanese wii with english, I was gifted a japanese wii, and this was like 20 years bck so I honestly couldn't tell you how I did it, but among all my modding files I was able to format my wii and make it a north american wii (so if you opened mine, you'd probably see the same type of thing)
It was doable! (but also super risky)
My og launch wii still works perfectly to this day and still has all the flaps
KING BOB... also the red wii came with Mario Bros Wii in a sleeve when it came factory. Unfortunate you didnt get it. When i bought my launch WIi, it had an issue when i bought Super Smash Bros when it released, it had an issue with not being compatible with Duel Layer DVDs for the games. I had to send it into Nintendo to get it replaced.
He was pretty chill about it lol 0:36
red wii at 11:30
Bro. Loved the Texas Load. Been enjoying the Hampton Haul. Next time, don't have the tweezers ready before you diagnose the issue
9:29 EPIC MICKEY!
We had a couple Wii’s growing up, we used to use Netflix on it to stream and play our games. As a kid I fell in love with SSB Brawl
I really hope you use a VM or something when plugging in random cards/USB drives. 😭But great video, man!
I accidentally watched the whole video and I still have no idea what the THIS is that you found.
0:22 finally someone that played Boating Bash
those wiis that was actively used with those channels like netflix and hulu, in particular the one with photo's really make you think when they were used actively in their prime.
So whatvwas the shocking thing you found?
I need one of those wii flaps, my sd card flap for my black wii is missing.
Oddessy maps sounds like something that came from a Honda Odyssey Head unit
I don't think you understand how profit works. You're listing the amounts you sold them for, but not subtracting how much you paid. That's like buying a house for a million dollars and then selling it for a million dollars and saying "I made a million dollars profit". On the red one you said $45 profit, but did that factor in the price of the new drive you fitted? How much do you originally pay for the batch of consoles?
Do think about all the games he finds in those consoles. And wii digital games are console bound and not account bound. So you can delete all accounts and keep all the stored digital games. So the wii’s with more digital games should be more expensive. And sometimes you do take a loss with new parts yes. But most just need a good cleanup so it balances all out ^^
Man this console is my childhood I have a black backwards compatible Wii with soft mods to play and burn GameCube Iso's . I had 32 classic GC games that i ended up selling for 700$ to build a gaming pc. but i got my Iso's its hard to get these looking good on a modern tv its 480p i mean like wish it at least pushed 720p. up scaling is a hassle man. I gotta get a crt tv with component hookups for it to look its best like its designed for it right
9:01 I did this as a kid. They’re probably still on my old Wii 😂
My best guess for that 2gb map SD card would be for a navigation radio in a Honda Odyssey since the file names said “Odyssey”
Also i currently own a red wii but im missing the GC port doors so it kinda looks like if the wii took a mario fire flower with the white mismatched GC doors
"A total of 24 hours and 40 minutes in one day" should we remind him that one day is 24 hours?
YES we got da flaps 🎉 8:03
anybody else remember playing mario kart wii and then getting an error
Who still play the Wii to this day?
Yessss a Wii dedicated vid 🤘🏾
I used streaming channels on my Wii because it was essentially my replacement for a DVD player, and my TV at the time wasn't compatible with HDMI.
6:07 that is SD card for a vehicle, integrated navigation system. And when you opened it up on your computer, I’m going to assume since it says Odyssey that it’s for a Honda Odyssey.
Him: I'm surprised to see Wii's played this recently.
Me playing my Wii while watching this
9:17 i loved build and race as a kid, u got to build race tracks and then, surprise, race on them. the racing part wasnt super great but the building ur own tracks bit was sweet haha
my wii for some reason the gamecube controller flap hinge is very loose and comes off relatively easily. I had all flaps but then i left it with my friend for a month or so and he returned it without a flap lol. Only recently bought replacement flaps from aliexpress
same
I safely removed my wii's game cube flaps to prevent damage by either the cord resting on them or if I so happened to bump into the wii.
12:49 Daylight Saving ended Nov. 3rd in 2013. I doubt the owner was even aware of this feat. How cool.
no wonder there were no cheap wiis left, you bought them all!
If you paid $18 on a part to fix a $25 Wii, your profit was less than $45?
My Wii WOULD have its flaps. I took pretty good care of it, but then my little brother one day just decided, that he wanted to trash my Wii. So he did. Never got any trouble, because little brothers never get into any trouble. I use an aftermarket Wind Waker Shell now, just because... well.. the OG was trashed ^^°
You still have your original Wii 😮
Tragic!
@@chocolatewheelchair Yeah, why should I not? The Wii isn't that old.
@@Rosa_Canina yeah of course bro it was only like 2006 so 18 years ago pretty much yesterday and you scored the winning touch down in nfl blitz 2005 but no one saw no one knew such tragedy honestly
@@chocolatewheelchair I am 36, so it's a console I bought when I got my first money at 18. How is it so unbelievable I still own it? I still have my OG GameCube and GBA, too. Although I don't own any of my original prior consoles and had to rebuy them. I am a collector of sorts and usually keep my stuff.
Also, I never played NFL. Or Fifa. Or similar sports games. My teen years are Super Smash Bros Melee and Brawl.
3:38
Jacob R: **laughs at the disc swapped down**
Also Jacob R: **gets happy knewing it is a Mario Kart Wii disc**
plot twist: the red wii is his wii
Okay, this is kind of gaming loot boxes I can get behind.
1:12 DUCE good name in italy
The red wii is is the red mario 25th anniversary edition. It came with new super mario bros wii and wii sports.
im laughing...my son just made weird mii's and just typed in random letters
bro when you get a wii sell it with Wii sports and delete all other Miis and then make Eteled to scare the poop out of some kids lol
feels like this happens every time I buy 48 wii consoles
Wii's are expensive in the US, here in the UK you can get a Wii for £15 ($19) all day long, often as low as £10 ($12.70).
im waiting for one of these wiis to have that eteled mii in the mii channel LOL
I remember my parents put me in front of the Wii with the Netflix channel while they were busy with something outside
That was the day I discovered Super Why, the best preschool show ever created ❤
warum fand ich das Video so spannend? :D Ich selbst hab auch eine rote Wii
The wii flaps tend to wear and tear over time of being open and closed. Often the hinge just becomes weakened and it basically just falls off from a tap
For me, the Wii was my primary method of accessing Netflix and UA-cam.
At least my Wii has 50 or more mii's, and there not from the check mii out channel, i didnt know it existed :), 2012 me missed out on getting mii's.
That super monkey ball gamecube game was such a score
Great video lad keep up the good work
Jacob R are you good? You are getting allegations for stuff i know you didn't do. I honestly feel bad for you, these people have no lives to the point they had to post misinformation on the internet.
No idea what was going on with that, it appeared to be a clan of commenters with bots liking their comments. Claiming that I scammed someone on FB with a copy of earthbound, despite the fact that I haven't sold a copy of Earthbound since 2022 lol and that was on ebay
@@jrob0021I remember seeing a bot cleanup feature that another UA-camr created. It might not help the bots liking your comments but perhaps some other bot threads in the future I’d check it out
I've got 2 Wii... Plural Wiis?... One has the flap, one was removed to use gamecube controllers.
Buck Wii sounds like Buckwheat from The Little Rascals.
at 11:16 it looks like the sim that was being played's name was Desmond Miles 😄
I think the Buck Wii might be a reference to a character Eddie Murphy used to do on Saturday Night Live, called Buckwheat. The character couldn't quite form words correctly when speaking, so Buckwheat becomes Buckwee/Wii.
What was everyone doing during lockdown? Playing with their wii lol
