Omg the disc menu sounds were the best, like before the game was open you know you were going to have fun

Exactly! Boosted the hype!

what a wonderfully written and well structured exploration of the wii, you get it. really enjoyed this video!! every member of my entire family on all sides used the wii and it's so nostalgic, newer consoles really aren't as distinctive anymore

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

The sweet sounds of childhood. I remember we got the Wii for Christmas one year as a family gift and it had Wii Sports Resort included in it. I would spend hours in Spead Slash game, sometimes just on the practice mode so I could see how many pieces I could slice the ideas into. I had a Cooking Mama and a Disney Princess game as well. We had a Playstation 2 as a family system as well and my sister and I both had DS lights, later getting a 3DS when they came out. As much as I loved the Wii, the Playstation 2 had my favorite childhood game in Katamari Damacy. I even have the remaster on my Switch. EDIT: Ok so I just remembered this but, The Nintendo Channel. I would spend so much time on this one channel watching Nintendo Week and even the events calendar for Animal Crossing City Folk, which I didn’t even own but I still loved to watch it anyway. I would find out about games for the Wii and DS that I wanted.

I studied digital design and nowadays specialize in UX / UI, the Wii was so special to me in so many ways I wouldn't be surprised if its incredible UI was a subconscious reason I ended up going for this career path. I don't know if these were my all time favorite games on the Wii, but there is a special place in my heart for Sonic and The Black Knight and Sonic Unleashed, especially with the intro they provided with the always on point music Sonic games are known to have, it's practically a guarantee of any Sonic game. Great job on the video!

That's so cool! Sonic and The Secret Rings was my jam as a kid! Sonic game intros hit so hard. A good UI just goes a long way. Thank you for commenting!

Brought back so many memories of you & your brothers & cousins playing these games! Another great video!

Thank you!

I have so many memories playing Mario Kart and Animal Crossing: City Folk. I remember spending hours with my younger brothers, bragging about always beating them, and giving my youngest brother the remote without batteries and telling him that he was one of the racers. Playing Animal Crossing and having no clue what I was doing, visiting Harriet to get my hair done, or visiting Kicks to get shoes, just running around my town, getting lost, and fishing in places where there were no fish. So many fond memories from the Wii. (I also remember being super obsessed with the second tron movie, specifically Quora, and making SO MANY Miis that were just her.)

I’m a simply man, I see a video on my childhood console and someone talking about why it’s so great and I watch. For real though as a kid, I could tell this console was special.

No console like it and none since. No shade at other consoles intended, but the Wii was different. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the excellent trip down memory lane. You really never appreciate what you have sometimes until it’s gone

The GameCube intro and the wii home music will forever haunt a portion of my brain. I’ll never escape and that’s fine. I fear the day everyone forgets the wii though, same with the game cube.

Insane to think you’re under a million subs, you have mentioned Schafrillas in another video and I myself am looking to start my own KZread channel, I hope to see your channel grow as much as I want to see me unborn channel grow in the future. People will find your awesome videos en mass soon enough! Keep creating my man!! Maybe one day we’ll do a collab video on animated movies or something once I finally start my channel! Much love!

I must admit that when I read the title I thought it was about the Wii U not the Wii UI, and I kept expecting it to show up, I swear it was one of the funniest experience I have had watching a youtube video in a while.

Thanks for making this video! It was such a trip down memory lane. A part of childhood that is so deeply connected with the wii. I never stopped to think about how influential the wii UI was. I knew it changed the course of video game history, but I never thought about how it changed the aesthetic and accessibility of gaming. My favorite game was Mario Kart Wii. It holds a special place in my heart because it was the main game I played with my friends. We would play for HOURS. My second favorite was Kirby’s Epic Yarn. I was obsessed with it for a while and would sneak downstairs to the living room in the middle of the night just to play it. 😂

I found your channel thanks to the Villains of Movies and I am glad to see ya talk about my favorite 6th generation game system

Bowling on Wii sports was one of my favorites! I totally agree with you on how newer consoles just don't have the same feel and I do miss it.

Can bowl on Wii Sports any day, any time! Hours of fun with family and friends. There's nothing like the Wii!

Idea for more video that may be ignored sonic and mario what made them good

Seriously 360 Dashboard Ps3 Ui And Wii Menu Were Peak Gaming WITH Utter Personality The current Versions Are Just Coporate Slack Edit: My First Gaming Experience is Ps4 Generation I was 10 yr old and Had Always Heard My big Bro Played Games At his Leisure And Boy I Was Envious and Pretty Sure Your Video Has Made Me See Sth New And Feel Nostalgic At The Same Time So Thank You

the problem is that the switch ui looks like android, it doesn't have it's own identity, the flat design is great but i miss those days of the transparency and skeuomorphic design.
