The Wii U is met with praise and criticism, but no matter what it was innovative and that is what Nintendo does best. From this console we had some amazing hits, with games from franchises we have not seen in years to even a new IP that carried over to the Nintendo Switch.

People are allowed to have opinions you know." lol Sad that people get angry because it's not what they want. Its almost like you're not allowed to have an opinion lmao

By the time you get the controls nailed, the game is over. And only big fans are gonna go back and master the game enough to warrant learning the controls.

Mario 3D World, DKC: Tropical Freeze, Darksiders 2, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Axiom Verge, Shovel Knight, Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy, Guacamelee, Arkham City, Freedom Planet, Smash Bros, Breath of the Wild, and countless others have occupied my time well. Excellent list as always, Jirard!

    Fully agree with all these games and they deserve much more credit and attention. Other games include DKC Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Captain Toad, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Star Fox Guard and Fatal Frame 5. If you haven't played these fun, varied games then you should. Its unfortunate people don't see how necessary the Wii U was and that it produced many great games for gamers looking for unique, interesting experiences. They have ironed out a few issues and produced what very well be the greatest video game console of all time with the Switch, built off of the foundation of everything that has come before. That didn't come around by chance or coincidence.

    @@AbdulKareem-gb1ed 10 was decent at best. 9 and 8 don't really count because they were Wii game, not Wii U games (even then 9 wasn't all that great). Though I suppose that Wii Party U was another good party game was on the system. I remember playing Mario Party 10 with a bunch of friends at a graduation party, and we had a fun time bitching about how bad and unfair the game was (seriously, Bowser mode was bullshit if you weren't Bowser). It had some decent minigames, so it at least had that, but as an overall experience, it was decent at best. And as for my thoughts on Mario Party 8... I enjoyed it, but at the same time I know that objectively it's not that good. It has some... interesting boards (half of them are just a straight line or a circle, but the other half were great). The thing that really drags 8 down is the lackluster minigames. Half of them were just basic motion control games.

    The Wii U, while it had its flaws, was a fantastic console imo. Sure, it had its blunders (Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival, Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, Paper Mario Colour Splash and Star Fox Zero being the biggest mishaps imo), but it had some quality gems during its lifetime. Nintendo Land is one of the best multiplayer games I've ever played (mainly thanks to Mario Chase), Splatoon is one of the best online multiplayer shooters out there, Super Mario 3D World, while it's not Odyssey, was fun in its own right and it has a fantastic soundtrack. Mario Kart 8 is my favorite Mario Kart of all time, and Smash Bros Wii U was fun to play, and probably the closest Nintendo has gotten to matching Melee in terms of quality. Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is a fantastic puzzle game, and smaller franchises like Pikmin and Bayonetta got a chance to shine of the system. Then there's Super Mario Maker... overall, a fantastic system with some great games, some of which I haven't mentioned in detail, like Woolly World and Tropical Freeze. Hopefully the Switch can continue to live up to the quality of the Wii U, which it has been doing a fantastic job thus far.

    Calvinus Cosgrovius While I definitely understand your opinion and agree that it deserves a spot in the top 10 games on the Wii U, I just don't think of it as one since I played it on switch instead of the Wii U. I'd probably take off woolly world or twilight princess to fit breath of the wild, but I'm not sure which right now.

    Great video! I'll proudly say that the Wii U is my favorite video game console to date, SO I always appreciate seeing it get some love. There are so many good games that I've enjoyed with friends and on my own. Mario Maker is awesome, the Zelda HD remakes are beautiful, and I played BotW on Wii U rather than Switch so I'll put that on my list too. I've always loved Nintendo, but the Wii U has made me a super fan! Thank you for making this video! It really made my day

    I almost agree with you on the Vista U, Switch 10 comparison. Windows Vista added so many features we take for granted today, like pasting images directly in our browser, hitting Windows key and being able to search our computer instead of manually finding programs through a list, the _Snipping Tool,_ it was a huge boost from XP in features. It just ran like shit. But Windows 7 was the culmination of an optimized and improved Vista. Windows 10 was the same thing, but for Windows 8.

    Windows 8.1 is part of Windows 8's support lifecycle. It _is_ Windows 8. A giant update to it. In fact, Windows 8 was immediately unsupported and all 8 users had to update to 8.1 to continue getting updates. Windows 8.1 was very much like a Service Pack for 8 the way SP2 and SP3 were for XP, the only difference being it wasn't available through Windows Update and had to be installed from the Windows Store

    I still love my Wii U. Between Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Splatoon, I'm pretty sure that the only console that I've spent more time on was handhelds, thanks in part to Monster Hunter moving to 3DS only afterwards. I got to experience Wind waker for the first time because of it, and while Smash and Super mario maker didn't hold my interest as long as the hundreds of hours sucked up by the main two, I'm happy I got to experience them. I'm glad so many of the games on the system are getting ports and sequels so other people can experience them too, but I'll be keeping my Wii U forever even if it's only for nostalgia.

    idk i kinda disagree, i haven't seen many people talking about it. Sticker Star for example, just about everyone agrees that its not good, its the only paper mario game i haven't finished. But not many channels, at least ones i watch, talk about color splash As for it not meeting expectations, it was pretty clear that it wasn't going to go back to the TTYD style of gameplay from just the initial trailer, so my only expectation going in was for it to be a fun paper mario experience, and i'd say it fulfilled that expectation to be honest. It was such a significant improvement on the sticker star formula, the cards for battling didn't feel completely forced, there was actually strategy in the battles and real story progression, and the theme of filling in each blank area with color was really fun

    I love the wiiu. For a long time, my ideal setup was a gaming pc and a wiiu. Now, my pc has aged so my gaming setup consists of my aged pc (used now mostly for emulation or older pc games), my wiiu, and my ps4 (for the new games that my pc can’t play). I still use the wiiu a lot. Fun as heck. My only problem is that my wiiu is Japanese and it’s not region free. That means I play breath of the wild in Japanese. So, there’s lots of guessing when going through dialog. Luckily, I’ve been able to play most of it without much frustration since it doesn’t rely on dialog as much as other rpgs. Love this video.
