Him and Iwata were what made Nintendo feel so different from other game companies. They understood the gaming industry and what people like and enjoy, and made Nintendo seem like a company whose main objective is to make good games. Nowadays Nintendo feels so much more corporate and robotic, like all the other AAA developers.

Or those of you who like me, sold your GameCube that you had since childhood as a teen to buy other game consoles and passed up every single GameCube you found at a thrift store or used game store because you didn’t know better.

Naming it the Wii was a stroke of genius tbh. Commercials: "Wii would like to play' Consumers: Making puns. Can't get more memorable then puns

I think the longterm effects of what the Wii started aren't really going to be felt by the masses until another 10 years. Cause something that wasn't mentioned in this video is that modern day VR basically utilizes what are more advanced versions of Wii motion controls, and they work INCREDIBLY well. It's hard to imagine a future where VR can really work without it. Granted, VR is currently in a stage where people who don't have it are often skeptical of it (and there are still some challenges and limitations it has to overcome), but there's definitely a lot of potential and I don't think we'd be where we are now without the Wii.

With no numbers or research to back this claim, I'd say the Wii still brought a lot of casuals that were eventually swallowed by the mobile market

Matt release me from this prison

My dad new someone who got their hands on a couple of Wii’s when it came out and we still play bowling to this day

through our childhood we went from non back illuminated, AA battery powered handhelds with no color or minimal color, to color, resistive touch screens with styluses, rechargeable batteries, cartridges to disks to larger disks to cartridges again, motion control, physical buttons, capacitive screens, that stretch from like the gameboy to the smartphone, and like, immediately it was all flat glass screens and back to mouse and keyboard for everyone of the following generations. the wouldn’t ever understand the struggle, and with arcades dying almost everywhere i feel like gaming truly lost something back then when people cared to try new stuff…

I never did think I'd feel nostalgic for the Wii, but here we are. I used to think it was "lame" when I was a kid, but now I miss it and all the times I'd play it round my best friend's house after school.

I remember getting my Wii. Some of my friends had it and I couldn't wait till I got one. I have so many fond memories playing my first game ever Kirby's Return to Dreamland, messing around in Mario Kart Wii. Running through the Subspace in Brawl and playing with my Miis and wrecking my sister in Wii Sports. Magical times.

This is where lives started people.

Imagine what Nintendo could have done if it invested a little more money in its console and sold us a power similar to PS360 but with Wiimotes.

Oh god I remember my dad bought a Wii *DAY ONE* to make sure he had one to give me for Christmas, and he was SO EXCITED to give it to me I was 6... I had never heard of this thing before... I had never even heard of a Console before! That Christmas completely changed my world.

Actually, motion controls in Splatoon are way better than the stick controls. The only reason the Wii's motion controls had a bad reputation was because it was a new technology, and because they were used in too many games. When used in the right games, motion controls can actually be revolutionary, and Splatoon is the best example.

When the Reggie shitposting happened I lost it 😂

The Wii was my FIRST console as I was born in 2006. I was a diehard nintendo fan until the WiiU. After that, I just played PS4. Although switch has returned my respect for the company.

I love this video not just for its content and memes, but also that it feels like Alax's attempt at making a KZread Poop.

Honestly, I think the glue holding together the wii, and the wii era of Nintendo (Wii, WiiU, 3dS, and maybe DS depending who you ask) was the sheer charm oozing out of everything. Every single menu option popping with a satisfying sound effect, every little theme and embelishment no matter how deep into the games and system you went, just mii's in general, and those little gimmicks that, while not as revolutionary as nintendo hoped, packed a serious punch in the hands of the right developer and game.

I'm really disappointed about the fact that we hadn't had an edit of good ol' Reggie spanking some poor soul with his wii remote...tz tz tz such a missed opportunity.

One of your best videos yet, the jokes and editing were really on point, plus your experiences are always super relatable

Wii Hype really was an experience. I remember I barely even got mine. The Wal-Mart only had 5 Wiis sent there

When we couldn’t find our sensor bar, my brother and I would use two strategically placed tea lights to make the wiimote work by simulating the sensor bar position.

Fun fact: you can use 2 candles as a makeshift sensor bar. Something about the wiimote's infared sensors

11:42 LMFAO I love Alax's jokes and editing. 10/10 chuckles

That Gamecube intro mad me feel... AHHHH so good

never really realized Wii Sports had a bit of ragdoll with the boxing game with the way they crumple.

The console that truly got me started. Since Christmas 2010

I like how a ganon f smashes synced with layer cake

The Wii was probably the biggest gaming console and the most hype I ever felt in Christmas. Back then, I didn't even know Video Games were a thing. Until Christmas I opened a present for my family and in was this white box lookin thing. No idea what the fuck it was but it sold me when I plugged it in. Thanks Nintendo. You changed my life with the white box with weird blue light

don't forget that VR basically needs motion controls and without the Wii warming people up to the idea first VR may have not taken off as fast as it did

Take me back to the golden age man.... I had friends who planned to get this console for Christmas 2012 everyone wanted the Wii
