The Nintendo Wii remains one of my favorite game consoles of all time, but I feel that its menu is underappreciated. Today I critically analyze the UI of the Wii menu and discuss why it still holds up almost 20 years later, including its unique theming, design, and easy user experience.
DISCLAIMER: This is a reupload of a previous UISpy video from November 2023. For unknown reasons, the original collaborator featured in this video requested it be taken down, along with all of their sections. With their permission, I am reuploading this video, adding a new section about the Frutiger Aero influence in the Wii Menu. Previous sections where the collaborator spoke were rewritten and narrated by myself. I'm sorry the video had to be changed this way, but I hope you enjoy the video nonetheless, it's one of my favorite UI Spy videos thus far and I wanted to preserve it in some way.

@@streetpassprincetonfan Definitely. The Wii is one of my favorite consoles of all time so I’m always excited to talk about it. I’m bummed I had to reupload it but I’m glad I was able to do it in a way which brought new points to the table.
I personally love the Nintendo 3ds. It was my favorite 😍

The 3DS is definitely a contender for the best Nintendo Menu for me, especially with the custom themes.

I hope so too. Switch 2 could be the 3DS of next generation; taking an awesome concept and making it more memorable console than the last.

Do you want me to analyze the Wii U’s menu? I’d be happy to if enough people want to see me talk about it.
