    They really did the 3DS dirty here. I can see their stance on everything but that. The 3DS had a rough start but it developed one of the best game libraries for a Nintendo console. It dominated the market from 2011 until 2017 and is the fourth highest selling handheld console of all time. It also bailed out Nintendo financially when the Wii U was failing miserably.

But it still had tons of great and fun games, that you could sink in hours. And it was kinda like the "Switch Prototype". The Virtual Boy sucked. It didn't help Nintendo progress at all. You had to sit with that weird thing on a table on a stand. It had only a handfull of games, wich for the most part sucked hard. It had the worst sales ever. It only had a monochrome red screen. You just can't rank the WiiU lower then this piece of Garbage. You just can't.

The Wii is a A tier console. 3DS? Well, it's not a revolutionary or groundbreaking handheld, hardware-wise, but the library... Oh my god!, So many amazing games. Definitively, not a C console.

Given that the hardware in both of those consoles was effectively identical (part of why the Dolphin Emulator can bounce between both consoles effortlessly), the only core design difference between the versions was that the GC version had Link left-handed like normal using only buttons, and the Wii version flipped basically the entire game world so that Link was right handed for the first time ever to align with the default stance of the average right-handed Wii user. zelda.gamepedia.com/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Twilight_Princess_HD BotW is even more identical than that, they even run at damn near the same resolution with near identical settings.

    It was originally meant to be a WiiU exclusive to be released in 2015. But it got delayed the the WiiU failed, so they ported it to the Switch. Same for Twilight Princess. It was supposed to be a Game Cube exclusive to be relealed in late 2005 but it got delayed, so they made a Wii port. Ironically, to avoid canibalizing on the Wii's sells, they released the Wii version 3 weeks before the GameCube, meaning that this is the only case that I know of where the port was released BEFORE the original.

    This list definitely seems to be operating under a "how did these consoles sell and influence culture, and what historical significance do they have?" moreso than a list of placing which systems are better in terms of enjoyability, features, hardware, library, etc. The Wii U's ability to play most of Nintendo's backlog (even without modding) alone makes it a way better investment and fun to use experience over a lot of these, but it was a flop in sales. And while a few of the Wii U's biggest titles had ports or sequels, it's still the only native way to play Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD, which are arguably definitive ways to play those titles outside of PC emulation. I feel like seeing the 3DS and VB next to each other is cursed though, cmon that handheld was rad and is still the only viable 3D gaming experience ever made and the technology still wows today arguably.

    Yeah I’m sure it was better than the original gameboy but I’m talking about the one with the shitty green display and weird lags, that’s you couldn’t play in the dark. The virtual boy is much better than that, however the Wii U is much better than the virtual boy. Let’s put the nostalgia bias away and actually think about the problems.the virtual boy had 3D, it was a cool novelty, it wasn’t “horrible” to look at, it had a few good games like wario land. It was 32-bit, and it was semi portable. The gameboy was small with a small screen that honestly had the potential of being slightly bigger but wasn’t made that way, while we’re talking about display you couldn’t play it in the dark it was a dark green which you could barely see it was in 2d 8-bit it had screen jumps and it took 4 aa batteries with 15 hours which is impressive but don’t you think you could have a full color display or just more colors and still have 10hours of battery not to begin with the worm light which took more of the battery life. The virtual boy also had an amazing sound system. Not saying the gameboy was bad retro spec it was made years before the virtual boy, however you can’t compare different consoles from different generations however you kinda have to if you really want to compare something cause you dont know what it would have been like if it was made in the same generation cause it wasn’t . The gameboy pocket was more recent but it wasn’t that big of a difference to make it better than the virtual boy. The virtual boy also had a Gimmick the gameboy didn’t besides it being portable which portable game consoles had been around before the nes or even original famicom which came out before the nes.

    Everyone wanting one, doesn't necessarily mean that it was a "good" console just that it was very, very hyped up before release. Personally, I don't think you can really compare the Wii and the Wii U to the other Nintendo consoles since it was marketed towards a completely different audience and thus had a whole different purpose. It was made from the ground up to appeal to the casual audience and attrack as many people who would never play video games to it as possible. I think that's also what made it such a big disappointment to so many long time gamers, it just didn't have what they were looking for. For me, It's the first Nintendo console that I didn't buy since the NES, because while it was interesting in some regards it just didn't have games that I've come to expect from Nintendo and lost a ton of it's appeal. I skipped the WII/Wii U, and eventually got a Switch but honestly only because it's portable and I think it's genuinely a much more versatile console than the Wii/U with a much wider focus and lot less gimmicky.

    The potential of a modded Wii U to big time fans of Nintendo's history is huge. But if I stack it up to playing those consoles on PC, they don't really compete. Especially with N64. There are many titles on that console that just won't play on a wii u, and not to mention - the N64 roms it does support have issues with darkened image gameplay. But by and large, if you don't use a PC and you want an all around Nintendo Retro console, it's amazing at that.

And on top of that the catalog was limited and poor. Just because they tried VR first doesn't mean they should get credit when they did it so badly. If anything deserved F tier this.

    gotta argue for the wii u a little. some of the best gameplay experiences i've had with friends are with the wii u, especially with nintendoland. I'd say that was the killer-app, the entry level was just a little high. if you wanted to play with 4 other friends, you'd need 4 wii-motes. Fortunately, the wii sold a lot and a lot of people had wii motes. Some other top games like super mario 3d world, mario kart 8, mario maker came out during that time. Definitely could've used more 3rd party support, but i'd rank it at least a C on the tier list rather than saying it achieved nothing haha. Also backwards compatible?

    Hey Austin and Matt, you guys should make a video discussing your predictions and possible facts (if any) about the pc market after this pandemic. Since almost everything is sold out or very over priced, do you think after this pandemic, we’ll see high quantities of pc part and be sold for little cheaper (like you discussed in your August 2019 video in the main channel) or do you think parts will stay up in price for potential high demands for people finally being able to upgrade or build a pc after a long wait?

    Placing the Wii U below virtual boy, I'm now convinced that your rating system is reversed (top-bottom is low-high). Besides The Wii U actually had a really good concept idea with the two(2) screens, like a home version of the DS line. I've been wanting to play an rpg like for example Fallout, where you could run around and still look at the pipboy without the game pausing. Now I want to see a rating of the different consoles concept ideas. 🤙🏼✌🏼 🤜🏻🤛🏻

    Wii U: Still has some exclusive, plays Wii games natively, supports HDMI, Virtual Console I still use it to this day, even if I have also the Switch And also N64 doesn't need memory packs as data gets saved on the cartridge Also imo from the Color to the advance it was a big leap, basically it went straight up to SNES-gaming level, even a bit more, from an 8-bit experience The 3DS is the ultimate Nintendo portable (before the Switch), the 3DS can play all in the same console all the handheld Nintendo games and also some console games. The Wii U was the ultimate Nintendo home console, especially with Nintendont. The Wii U can Play all the home console games from Nintendo, from the NES to the Wii, including of course the Wii U. You might say, "no it can't play gcn games" but if you install Nintendont you can, as the Wii U is Backwards compatible with the Wii, and the Wii is backwards compatible with the gcn, so theoretically the Wii U can Play also gcn Games, Not to mention it can play also all the handheld games (ik, in the virtual console there aren't GB and GBC games but come on, the Wii U can easily play those), up to the DS
