Yes, I'm still alive! Usually, I've been able to put out videos every 3-6 weeks, but my creative process has become more bogged down overtime. The more time I spend on audio, editing, and writing has been improving the videos overall, but it's been constantly adding more steps and hoops that I have to jump through, especially with these more lengthy videos. Despite this, I'd rather put out an amazing full length video, rather than splitting it up into parts, or make some other kind of videos that would involve less work. I've been sacrificing consistency, but once they are finally released and on my channel, they will be available to everyone to watch, whenever they want to, forever! Because of this, I'd rather spend the extra time to make my videos as good as they can be. I know it might be disappointing to have to wait almost two months for a new video, but that's just the reality of the situation. I have a full time job working 40 hours a week, I only have a couple of hours of free time on the weekdays, and there isn't really much flexibility in my schedule to spend time making videos. Since it takes me such a long time to make videos, The best way to keep yourself updated would be to follow my twitter for updates, or by just subscribing to my KZread channel. I don't like plugging garbage like that in my videos, so that's why I've posting this instead. Twitter: twitter.com/HyperCharge_Sam?lang=en I got some fun videos in the works, so until those come out, thanks for watching!

Hey Sam! I've been watching your videos for quite some time now, you might have seen me around your comment sections already (maybe, who knows). Your channel is one of my favorite channels to binge watch (if not my actual favorite). Your content is really well made, incredibly fun and relatable (even when I disagree with you to a certain degree on some topics), and you really deserve way more attention and subscribers than you already have. At the same time, I really appreciate the way the low-key community is around here and discuss these topics, and how much thought and care you put on your videos. I really, really appreciate your work and understand the exact circumstances! Keep it up, my man! Looking forward to the next videos! Much love and appreciation from Brazil!

That donkey Kong barrel blast rant was hilarious 😂

I got my Nintendo Wii for Christmas after experiencing the glorious game that is Super Mario Galaxy at my friend's house. The fact that you could have Mario jump around in outer space was soo revolutionary at the time. The motion controls were just a bonus for me. And then Mario Kart Wii comes around and my first online multiplayer experience couldn't have been better. And then Brawl. Holy shit. I was so excited to play this that me and my friend went to Gamestop on day one to experience it. Then on that same day I got the game myself at Walmart. And then Animal Crossing City Folk. I've never experienced voice chat in my life or any other AC title, and at the time, I had some online friends who also wanted City Folk. Wii Speak was an amazing start despite voice chat already being on the 360 and PS3. Plus nowhere near as toxic. And then The Conduit and Conduit 2. Not as great, but these games finally got me into the shooter genre despite not liking them before. And then Super Mario Galaxy 2 comes around and holy fucking shit I've never been more excited for a game in my life. Skyward Sword was just... average for me. Then afterward...the system just kind of died. To me the Wii was worth the purchase for these games alone and the hype surrounding them. Looking back now, however, it was very underpowered compared to its contemporaries.

If the Wii had a balance of both games for casuals and hardcore gamers, the console would have been looked back on more favorably.

This deserves way more views. It’s such a well put together retrospective/analysis and I think it is very fair and unbiased.

I like to call this the first part of two of the "Gray-White Era of Nintendo". The Grey-White Era of Nintendo is characterised by the company having a grey logo on a white background. This also carried into the Wii U, which comprises the second part of two of the Grey-White Era of Nintendo. We have since then quit this era, since Nintendo has gone back to their traditional White-Red logo, and with games like Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Metroid: Samus Returns, and upcoming games like Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and a new Metroid Prime game, we're already seeing a huge departure from the Grey-White Era of Nintendo.

The best part of the Wii? Playing Gamecube, N64, and SNES games.

About a week or so ago I picked up an original model Wii off eBay for 35 bucks. Mostly playing GameCube games, but this was a good console. Definitely going to pick up some more Wii games. I had one of these when they first came out, but other than Smash Brawl I didn't play it a whole lot because it was in the living room and my family would never get into video games, not even the casual BS that most hardcore gamers hate. So I sold it and got a PS3 instead.

I fucking love this. It's like a helium-filled Gilbert Gottfried raging about video games lol.

Never seen anyone pop off so hard over Barrel Blast.

And Twilight Princess is 100% GameCube actually. It was ported to the Wii sort of last minute

DKC Returns is a really great game. The "gray DK mode" doesn't scratch it a bit. Almost no one uses that thing. Also, Galaxy 2 is indeed different from 1. At least for me. It's mechanically unique and more inventive in its level design. The atmosphere is also toned down. It's a different experience.

There was something about Wii Sports that made it as addictive as crack when it came out. I felt like they just kept trying to recreate it after launch, but every single one they made after was just terrible. Wii Sports is a game that I still don't understand today. It's not something I'd ever go back and play again, but at the time I actually had a ton of fun with it. It got me to a buy a Wii earlier than I thought. Usually I just wait for a Mario Kart game because then I know there's 1 quality entry on the system. But yeah I agree, growing up with the Gamecube, there just felt like nothing past 2008 on the Wii that was worthwhile.

Ive been a fan of nintendo my whole life and i was really excited when my friends suddenly knew who they were and were buying wiis. .. but they only owned wii sports >:L

You are so funny man,I love your videos 😂

The wii was the first console I ever owned, so maybe this is why I have some nostalgic connection to it.

I do really like the content you make. You should keep using the same formula(s) because I don't think I'll be tired of it/them.

I still own my Wii. At the time before I got it my sister moved out of the house. Taking our GameCube with her. I still had my own GameCube games laying about. Not wanting to sell my games or go out and buy another GameCube. I decided to get a Wii due to the fact that not only was it the newest Nintendo console, but more importantly it was backwards compatible. I loved growing up playing the GameCube. Majority of my time with my Wii, it always had memory cards and a GC controller plugged in. Eventually I slowly picked up more Wii games. Been collecting Wii games to this day. Also put on a nice Decalgirl skin to keep it looking nice and put the Homebrew channel on mine. Hello emulators!

The Wii is my favorite console and the main one I play still. I have a switch lite too.

It’s so odd to think that Animal Crossing used to be “obscure”

I waited til the Wii U was still a current console to get a couple of Wiis that were already modded with HDs with lots of GC and Wii games and emulators so I don't feel like it's a bad console. I had a GC when it came out and loved it. It was an awesome party console and to have a couple of Wiis with most of the GC library is so awesome because it has so many awesome games. Even the Wii has a great library of stellar games that will keep me busy for a long time. Yeah it had a ton of shovelware games, but if you ignore those it still has a pretty impressive library.

My favorite game on the Wii by far was Xenoblade Chronicles - and that came out at about the same time as Skyward Sword, 2011 Xenoblade Chronicles is now considered a classic - THE iconic new JRPG of the Wii I guess it counts as a 3rd party game though rather than Nintendo - sure, they own Monolith Soft and the Xenoblade franchise NOW, but not back then

The funny this is that we got sequels to literally everything you mentioned might not get a sequel. It just takes a really, really long time.

I don't think "exposed" is a word you should have used in that sentence.

Gotta say I've had a completely different experience with the Wii, but maybe it is because I got it on 2017 with every game at my disposal. Nintendo's best as far as whst I've played: Mario Galaxy, Both Wii Sports games, DKR, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Mario Kart and Brawl (which I love o so much) and Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, which for many is the best Fire Emblem Game. There are also some awesome third parties like Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Madworld and the No More Heroes games, the best version of Resident Evil 4 thanks to the pointer, Dead Space Extraction (which really surprised me because I was never into rail shooters. But this game, I just couldn't get myself to put it down). That's what I've played so far. If anything, I think the Wii may have a library almost as good as any PS system, but with the difference tjat in this case it was the shovelware that got marketed the most, making the good games more of an obscure thing and harder to find.

You had me until you sighed past Battalion Wars 2. That game’s actually really solid! ... but in all seriousness though, you’re really talented and your content is painfully underrated

Hey man, I was wondering if you'd make a Wii U Nintendrone sometime in the future, no rush since you do work hard on editing your videos! ;P

I loved The Last Story on the Wii. Very underated game

The Wii was an interesting system, but Nintendo ultimately screwed it up like you said. It might have been a smashing success, but it was a one time lighting in a bottle instance. Wii U proved that. I had a Wii when it came out and I had some games that I loved playing on it. But by 2010 I was done with it. Sold it and my games to get a PS3. I did buy a used Wii a while back to play some old games because I was nostalgic. But I was mainly nostalgic for Gamecube games and figured I'd get a couple wii games.

I couldn’t do KirbyEpicYarn, it was just SO cutesy, it made other Kirby games seem like “The Adventures of the Endless Hunger in: The Raining Super Death Over All Mankind starting with YOU Little Boy in Your Room!”

I think the wii's problem was that Nintendo litteraly changed their plans because of the gamecube's failure similar with the wii u at least we still see old nintnedo on the switch but its small probably because Iwata isnt here anymore sadly he was a great video game developper, an okay video game developper cause it was his fault if the wii u was lackluster along with Reggie but he was most of all a wonderful gamer and someone who gave us nostalgia even though destroying Nintendo's old reputation with his beliefs

Uh... as a Nintendo console owner... I’ve never played a Zelda game in my life. THE TRINITY IS A LIEEEEE

I played a few gamecube and n64 games when I was really young but most of my time was spent on the wii. Brawl is still my favorite smash game. Galaxy 2 was great. Sluggers was great but that's mostly nostalgia. Super Paper Mario I remember being awesome but I never have played any other paper mario so I can't say much on that. I think nintendo failing with the wii u is what needed to happen because now for the switch we are getting games on par with the stuff we got during the gamecube era. Breath Of The Wild is a masterpiece. Odyssey is a masterpiece. Dread is a masterpiece. Sure we still get stuff like Mario U deluxe but it's mostly even with brand new amazing titles. I consider myself a hardcore fan but something super duper casual occasionally doesn't hurt nintendo's not even making them anymore they are just porting the stuff they gave us on the wii u and putting most resources into amazing experiences.

What I don't get is that it's totally possible to make challenging games that both kids and adult will enjoy. I grew up with SMW and it took me some years to complete it, but it was perfect because games were so expensive that you wanted to spend as much time as possible on a game. I don't get why games need to be stupidly easy because kids ain't stupid, they need challenging games with a good learning curve. That's why some SNES games were amazing, they were challenging with a good learning curve (Mario RPG, SMW, A link to the past, Super Mario Kart, DKC, etc...)

On the Wii I literally only played super sash bros. brawl... It was my favorite game.

While that's true, I think Nintendo would consider the Wii version to be the best one. If Nintendo were huge dicks, they could have just made it exclusive to the Wii, but since it was marketed to be on the Gamecube, they put it out to not piss off fans who bought the Gamecube for it. It's the same situation with Breath of the Wild as well.
