- The era of the 3DS and Wii U has a certain magic and charm to it that I've always loved. Whether it's the all the amazing features these consoles have or just nostalgia, there's something about this time period that feels really special to me. So I tried to capture just a small amount of that magic with this video.

The WiiU was such an underappreciated console. My friends and I played so much Wii Sports Resort, Nintendo Land, and Game & Wario. Great video man!
Absolutely
True
I never got the opportunity to play it so I’ve now purchased it wondering if modding it is worth it.
The WiiU was so good man, Nintendo land is an absolute masterpiece of multiplayer gaming, I also have really fond memories playing Mario Kart 8 and 3d land
I still play it now and it
made learn to love donkey Kong country
Honestly feel like the Wii U and 3DS having shop music made it feel more like an actual store, like I wanted to hang around and browse even if I didn't have plans to buy anything. Maybe it was atmosphere, maybe marketing, maybe both- but it definitely worked. When it comes to the silent Switch eShop, I just get whatever I need to do done and close it as quickly as possible 🤷
Oh buddy, for me it was always the Wii Shop Channel that made me love the music very much. Wii U and 3DS I skipped out on as I wasn't a nintendo/video game console fan anymore so, I was in a transition from going into playing video game consoles to PC/Emulation.
The charm of the 3DS and Wii U era is undeniable, and it’s a big reason as to what makes the consoles so beloved even though their player bases aren’t nearly as big as things like the Switch. I still use my 3DS and Wii U constantly, and I really hope that Nintendo’s next system brings back some of that atmosphere in the menus that the Switch definitely lacks. Wonderful video!
I want them to bring back the wonderful little apps too. I loved face raiders and ar games on the 3ds. And the Mii maker and street pass and miiverse and the writing letters app etc etc etc.
YOU'RE JUST LIKE ME FOR REALLLLLLLL
I don't care about fast menus. Give me my Nintendo CHARM
TBH, I hardly get people saying the Wii U is slow, because it really isn't (at least on the latest version). Though, maybe that's also because I was used to Xbox 360 load times, which if you know, were very slow.
Same here!!
Safe to say there’ll never be a dynamic like the Wii U & 3DS again as I don’t see Nintendo ditching the hybrid model. An era that I will forever cherish (no matter how miserable it was at times).
Memories of playing games like Nintendo Land, Super Smash Bros. 4, Game & Wario and even Mario Party 10 while drunk with friends were some of my most cherished memories growing up in my early college years. The Switch just doesn't hold a candle to the Wii U.
Mario Party 10 was horrible. Yall should have played Mario Party 6 using NintenDont
@@simmat6419bro do you realy have to ruin everyting. Pouple are sharing his memories and you are just talking about better or worser games. Also the only reason why mp10 is hated becouse these guys have no friends to play it with it and thats literly the point of the frenchise: playing with friends
@Nokjaw Thats true, great memories ❤
@@evolutioner8573 oh, sorry. I didn't mean it that way.
Wait is nintendo land discontinued?
Playing that paper airplane game while listening to Fireflies was a piece of hard-hitting nostalgia I didn’t think this video would bring out lol
It was always Fireflies and random Phineas and Ferb songs for me
StreetPass is the single best Nintendo feature ever in my opinion. The fact that it’s not on switch in insane to me
Where the Wii, DS and to an extent GameCube played a huge part in my childhood, the Wii U (and later 3DS) played a big part of my teenage years. I remember really loving the Wii U's UI when I first got it back in Christmas 2014! Both (or rather, all three?) generations are extremely important to me. Lots of good childhood memories, however my teenage years are particularly special to me, as that's when my personality (and a lot of the humour and inside jokes I still have) really developed, and technically the Wii/DS/GameCube/Wii U/3DS were *all* heavily involved in those teen years.
Wii/DS/GameCube are technically the most nostalgic for me now but it's still very, very weird that the Wii U/3DS are also nostalgic these days. Something is seriously wrong with how fast time moves lol.
I used to play Nintendo Land at a friend's house for hours at a time. I loved those days, everyone just playing together, having fun. I only got a Wii U recently and I wish I could have some more people to play with again, but I do not. I'm also in the process of trying to get a 3DS, so hopefully I'll get one soon. I hardly knew anything about games during this era, as it was my very early childhood so I never asked for them. Looking back, I really wish I could have been apart of that community, but at least I am now.
I never owned either a 3DS or Wii U during that era despite wanting both. But I was always watching from the sidelines at how wonderful everything looked, imagining myself enjoying those games and consoles for long periods of time. While I may never get to experience what you and everyone who owned those consoles did, I still have a weird nostalgia for that time and I will always cherish that. Also I absolutely LOVED the music that you played during the video. It was my first time hearing some of those tracks, and I need to listen to them again.
please buy one
Same here
I honestly feel so bad for you
I love my 2DS. After going through a rough patch where I had zero dollars to my name for a couple years, plunking the money down at Gamestop to get a used one and a couple of games was a great feeling. It marked the end of hard times and I'll always remember that.
This era of Nintendo was so good because everything had so much charm and personality. Not just the consoles but also the Nintendo directs of that era. Unfortunately with Iwatas passing and Reggie leaving, the Nintendo of today just doesn't feel the same. The Switch has better games sure, but I still think the Wii U is the better console because of all of its features.
This is a perfect video essay for a perfect era of Nintendo. There's a certain charm and personality that came with the Wii U/3DS era that I don't believe can ever be replicated again. Weather you actively playing on your Wii U/3DS, socializing with others about the game you were playing, watching the new Nintendo Direct format of news, participating in Club Nintendo, going into a store to see the new releases or the amiibo kiosk, this special Nintendo joy followed you or at least I know it followed me. I remember the day I found out about the Wii U in early 2013 and just how excited I felt, I wanted this console and I was going to get it no matter what. I remember talking about the games announced for it with my friends and then showing me their progress in various 3DS games. I remember the days I finally received my Wii U and 3DS and just never putting them down for a week. I remember the friendships I strengthened and made just bonding over this era of Nintendo. I remember going from sucking ass at MarioKart Wii to figuring out how to improve my skills through 7 and 8. The time I spent on Miiverse and Streetpass felt wonderful, making purchases on the eshops felt special and more than just a game purchase. I've always held the Wii U up as my favorite console and what I personally believe to be Nintendo's greatest console of all time, I always will.
The 3ds/Wii u UI have a much warm welcoming part to give the user a fun time, unlike the rest of the other consoles including Sony and Microsoft
I probably wouldn’t be playing video games today if it weren’t for the Wii U and 3DS so yeah I miss the era
Love your channel, bro... It's like you can put in words what we only feel. Keep up the great work! You deserve millions of subs! Greetings from Brazil.
In the gaming community, nostalgia is most commonly used as a way of discrediting someone's experience, and because of that, I feel like people like you and I have to make these concessions to people regarding our feelings about these consoles because they can't understand why we can look back on them fondly when they can't.
But the truth is, there is something to be said about these consoles that Nintendo could apply to their future hardware if they could hear how important it is. Yes, there are rose-tinted glasses at play, but those memories are amplified in our heads because of the masterful user experience, like you so beautifully put in this video. I wish people could try to understand that before shitting on people who miss what these consoles offered that the Switch lacks. The feelings are valid and there are a lot of us. Lovely video!
Well said! Thank you for the thoughtful comment
Leave it up to Nintendo Hero to have the memory feels of what is like to be a Nintendo fan during this era. This was my early adulthood when I got to experience these systems no matter how flawed they were. They left an impact of my life during 2011-now. I freaking love these systems deer to my heart because how it felt like you're home with Nintendo that wasn't corporate now with the switch.
I still love the Switch don't get me wrong but it won't beat the magical memories I keep dear to my heart with the Wii U and notably the 3DS. Thanks for this video essay man!
I agree it was magical felt like home
3DS and Wii U music make me cry of nostalgia. So thanks for the tears man
100% agreed.
Pure Nintendo magic.
Thank you Iwata-san, rest in peace.
It's odd since the Switch was the last console Iwata worked on and we're in uncharted territory with Nintendo's next system.
Iwata was a great man, I hope the next console won't throw some corporate BS at us like online-only play (for traditionally offline games), microtransactions everywhere, paywalls etc.
I absolutely love the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. This era really did had a special type of magic and charm that makes it stand out. Even though this generation definitely had its problems that the Switch era would later learn from, the features, UI, applications, and games of these consoles really gave this era such a charming personality. I don't personally think it's that crazy to say you miss when Nintendo's consoles were split between home and portable, as I too feel that having both console experiences separate helps make them feel extra special.
The amount of creative and amazing games that I have fond memories of from this era of Nintendo systems are endless: Pilotwings Resort, StreetPass Mii Plaza, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Nintendo Land, Fire Emblem Awakening, LEGO City Undercover, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Tomodachi Life, Hyrule Warriors, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, Yoshi's Woolly World, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE; I really could go on forever, and I didn't even include the eShop-exclusive and Virtual Console games of this era. The strong library of great games between both systems is why I keep playing and enjoying them all these years later.
I am admittedly very nostalgic for the atmosphere and vibes of the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U era. For me personally, the lifespans of these systems were the last of the simpler times in my life. By the time the Nintendo Switch launched, things around me already started to feel less simple and more overwhelming. So I guess these consoles mean a lot to me, because they are the last pieces of my younger, blissful days that I still have access to. I'll always love the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U for how incredible they are and the amount of magical fun they've given me in my life.
The Switch is overwhelming?
@@RKMCHere I meant things that were going on in my personal life, not the Switch itself.
@@Jason_W. Ohhhhh, ok.
Nintendo needs to make more first party apps and little games because they're one of those things that you don't realize you would miss so much until they're gone. Also more music in general.
I love your videos so much! I also love this era of Nintendo and seeing these images of these great games on 3ds and Wii U takes me back to a happy time and place
Don’t forget the precursor, the Wii and the DSi era music ＳＬＡＰＳ
yess but imo the wii and ds lite combo was elite
Ds lite only stood a chance because of gba slot, but DSi had so much more@@SmallHappyOtter
These console felt like Nintendo at its core.
Nothing corporate, nothing hateful. It was just fun.
The Nintendo directs especially was super involved with the higher ups like Reggie and Iwata.
Nintendo had fun with this era of systems despite them being unsuccessful financially.
Great video like always 😊
Man! I got sooo exited when I saw you made a new video.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
No other video on the wii u and 3ds makes me feel so connected to the creator like this one. A special video this is. ❤❤
I grew up with a wii u ❤ i loved it and its now my favorite console of all time. I had a wii u and a DS lite back in the day. I got my wii u for Chrismas in 2015 and still have it to this day and i was 6 back than. I got a switch in 2020 but after 3 woaping years i got already tired of the switch and i still do. I play my wii u way more and i always have it in my living room couse its a so good multiplayer system. I grew up with: splatoon, mario kart 8, super mario 3D world, kirby and the rainbow curse, just dance 2016, minecraft wii u edition, animail crossing amibo festival, skylander inmaginators and lego dimension. Than i got the switch and for a few years i dint realy brought anyting for the wii u untill now. I have now A LOT and i actully want to have every wii u game. I think the is like 174. Compared to other console is it not that much. With games did you guys had? I specaly want to know form nintendo hero
Absolutely beautiful :) thank you for 10 wonderful minutes of reminiscing and appreciation for my favourite thing to do
Wii and DS era: Over a quarter of a BILLION Nintendo handhelds/consoles sold (not including GBA).
Wii U and 3DS: 88 million sold.
You have nostalgia. That's wonderful. The Wii/DS era wins in one of the most one-sided races since Bowser challenged Sonic to a 100 meter dash.
Yeah, but it find ds/wii era to be overrated
@@edwardsaldana2534 i agree with you, people value this era too much
@@arthurgamerpro6585 and I feel like the 3ds/wii u era doesn’t get enough appreciation with there being improvements
@@edwardsaldana2534 yes unfortunately, as the ds/wii era sold a lot, it ends up with many people focusing on this era rather than the 3ds/wii u, while the 3ds/wii u was an improvement on the wii and ds.
Captain Toad treasure Tracker gave me so many memories with the Wii-U. I remember in 2015 when i went to my friends house and played the game together. The Wii U did fail, but I think we should all give respect to the Wii U!
I love that intro man. This video was made with care and honor. Much love
I was a little kid during this era. I was 10 when the 3ds came out in 2011. I remember breaking my oot edition 3ds that same year. Then for Xmas 2012 I knew my mom got me another 3ds. So on Xmas eve, when she went to work, me and my littler sister opened our gifts and I got a purple 3ds. My sister got a pink one. I still had a copy of nsmb2 and I remember booting up the 3ds and hearing that lovely home menu tune. Played the crap of nsmb2 before my mom got back home and then me and my sister wrapped our 3ds’s again 😁😍Gotta be honest I never owned a Wii U as a kid. My family couldn’t afford it. I only recently purchased one in 2020 during covid. Even so, I feel the nostalgia as if I had a Wii U when I was little. Just because it shares the same charm as the 3ds. I still play my 3ds and Wii U, more than my switch. I will never forget the memories and feelings I still get playing what is my favorite consoles ever❤
amazing video that perfectly encapsulates what made these consoles so memorable in a different way to any other. really hope the switch follows suit.
man... i had so many memories with mario kart 7 and 8, new super mario bros. u, super smash bros. 4, and especially super mario maker and tomodachi life. i really miss the 3ds and wii u era. both systems will have a special place in my heart :>
I’m so glad I grew up with the Wii I didn’t have a Wii U when it came out but I got one 4 months ago after the shop closed and it’s really been a neat experience
This, *this* is the video I have always wanted made. Thank you, an unfathomably massive fan and adorer of this era of Nintendo to another, thank you, from the bottom of my heart and with all my soul 🥲🫶
Another video on the Wii U generation? What a treat!
The 3DS and Wii U era are my childhood :')
I grew up with the original Wii but nothing was as magical as the 3DS and Wii U
The 3DS and Wii U had so many amazing games and the fan base( Mario and Pokémon) can’t say otherwise
Amazing video. You totally describe in perfect detail what the whole community feels.
My friends from school all had 3Ds's and i begged my parents for one so that I could play with them. Instead I got a Wii U and was disappointed at the time because I had no idea what it was. It grew on me and became my favorite console ever. Me and my sibling would always play Smash, Nintendoland, Splatoon, and Wii Party U every weekend with our cousins and I'll never forget those times.
OH MY GOD ANOTHER VIDEO FROM NINTENDO HERO tysm ❤️❤️
It truly was such a great era the 3DS is still one of my favorite consoles and I still play it every so often. I wish the switch had the personality the 3DS had. It’s so colorful and has some amazing music for little stuff it’s great
The fact this man has all my opinions in a video. I just found an original release 3DS at a pawn shop a few weeks ago. The moment I was able to hold it again, I cried, I can't lie. It was like grabbing my first 3DS xl for the first time. The magic that these consoles have and the memories they brought from the great games, the personality the consoles have, and even that childhood bliss, that'll probably never come back. Childhood is a magic thing I don't think we ever fully have back. But, we still keep that inner child within us. Thank you, Nintendo 3DS.
I’m especially fond of this era because the 3ds (and the Wii) was my childhood console, so thanks for putting into words what made it so great!
3:30 that is so true. Of course it's objectively better that now you can have most games on every system (with the games actually being the same). And that you can play full on HD games on the go, but I miss the time when it was actually noticeable that a game was meant for the 3ds, but despite those hardware limitations, still provided the best gameplay they could.
As a person was was a full grown adult in his 30’s during this era, I completely agree with you. The 3DS and Wii U era was one of my all time favorites! The charm and creativity Nintendo exhibited during this era is unmatched and it saddens me how under appreciated Wii U continues to be. Great video! 🎉
all these videos make me cry.
Amazing video I have a Wii U and 2ds but I wish I would have had them around the time they were most active
You somehow found a way to so eloquently describe what made this ~6 year period of Nintendo so special. Excellent video
God this video is making me so nostalgic
The most underrated Nintendo consoles for sure. Great video man !
I hope one day they'll remake the Wii U and the DS systems cause having those two systems was like an iconic duo
The Wii U was such a underrated console. I still own my Wii U and even my old Wii. I recently bought Wii Sports Resort at a fair price and I'm having a blast. I also love the Wii U menu much more than the Switch menu. Thanks to folders (which you can even customize the color of), I have a much better overview than in the clunky Switch HOME menu where all icons are huge and retail games that aren't put into the Switch still taking up space in the menu while the "folders" are behind the More Software button. Really inconvenient. Also, you can import/export Mii's via QR codes, good if you want to share your Mii's or want to make space without permanently deleting them (3DS). Heck, in the Wii U, you can store up to THREE THOUSAND Mii characters! The Switch only allows 100 Mii's and despite having more color options, it is really lackluster because of the lack of importing/exporting Mii's (Switch has no camera but I'm sure there are other convenient methods possible) and no music. It's also hidden in the system settings rather than being one of the main buttons on the HOME menu.
In terms of games, I miss my old 3DS, sent it to repair but instead got a refurbished 3DS with all my StreetPass/Log data/saves gone. That was almost 10 years of data. I remember playing through Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon on the trip to Italy and back and having a blast! Also, I have SSB4, which is still my favorite Smash game. Sure, the controls on the 3DS version is not that good but since I play casually with easy CPU's or just watch CPU matches, I don't mind. Also, Smash Run was a blast! And of course, Tomodachi Life! I still have my save since 2014 and most of my Mii OC's (look up my deviantART) originate from my Tomodachi Life save! I also have Wii Fit U, which is a blast in multiplayer! Also, you got a HD Wuhu Island with seasons and there's even a SCUBA diving activity!
The Wii U/3DS era was surely my personal favorite! I had such a amazing time with the 3DS games and Wii U games!
Switch era peak Nintendo. It had games. Lots of games.
I had no idea about the starfox thing in the music player :0
But yes 100% agree! I'm glad someone's putting it into words. I'd include the regular wii in this too, personally.
There are no better vibes/feelings than the calm, nostalgic menu osts and remembering the good ol sunny days of playing wii/3ds alone or with friends. I can't describe it well enough but it makes you feel different about life in a good way.
My most nostalgic games are Wii Sports, Wii Fit Plus, Mario and Sonic London Olympic games blablabla 2012 Wii, nintendogs + cats, mkwii and super mario bros DS etc
I do remember it kind of became a problem sometimes, I brought my 3ds everywhere and if playing games was an activity option at friends' houses I usually chose that, I wonder if I'd drift away from friends if life events didn't cause that already-- anyway I still look at all of my gaming memories fondly with nostalgia. Though that nostalgia has faded a little since it's so easily accessible online now.
Owning both systems from near launch I have a lot of great memories. One I won’t forget was playing Luigi Mansion 2’s scarescraper multiplayer on my 3DS with a mate. We cleared the final floor for the first time with a second to spare, a high dopamine rush I am unlikely to capture again.
man i bought a 3ds in 2023 and it was really good the camera reminded me of the vtech camera i had
I have so many great memories with both wii u and 3ds but wii u is just magical for me, since i got it for christmas 2015, my 6 year old me was so happy, the wii u will always have a special place in my heart
Exactly as you said
Words will never be able to describe the magic these consoles made you feel
The 3ds is my most played handheld console. I have fond memories of going to the midnight release, playing OOT3D long into the night, browsing the eshop everyday Thursday after high school, or even watching Nintendo show 3D. I remember keeping up with Wii U news during E3 2012 and despite all the game droughts I really liked the Wii U. It was definitely a good system with amazing games and a LOT of good games from the eshop.
The 3DS and Wii U were the first systems I bought with my own money from work and I associate the sounds with early adulthood.
8:50 I'm proof that you would.
Now get off my lawn 👴🏾🎉
I think my favorite memory to come out of the 3DS and Wii U was the Smash Ballot, because it gave us Banjo & Kazooie in Smash, and possibly gave Nintendo the idea to put Banjo-Kazooie on Switch Online! I consider the Switch to be a "miracle machine", but a lot of that was due to them learning from their mistakes in the previous era, and fans saying, "You can do better." Just as Skyward Sword's failure lead to Breath of the Wild's success, maybe Origami King's "Eh!" from fans prompted them to get a "Woooow!" from Thousand-Year Door.
Video request: make a video about you childhood videogame colection
I just bought a modded 3DS because I missed out on this entire Nintendo era and I'm loving all the games! I'm sad that I couldn't experience it when it was new, but it's better late than never. I considered getting a Wii U, but since so many of those games were ported to the switch, I figured the 3DS is the better option :) great video!
I got Pikmin 3 and Game & Wario free through Club Nintendo during that era. Crazy to me. I can’t imagine Nintendo doing something like that today. For too many reasons to list, it was such a great time to be a Nintendo fan and I’m still playing these systems more than anything else.
I have a 3ds, and I love it to death...
Something as simple as getting a 2 week ban from Miiverse for sharing my friend code... is nostalgic...
i’ve been playing the wii u for my entire childhood at this point, smash wii u being my favourite smash game splatoon 1 being my favourite splatoon game playing around with mods and trolling on miiverse spending all my play coins in new leaf, i definitely use the 3ds and wii u more then my switch
What if the next Nintendo console gets announced
I want them to go back to this for the switch 2. I'm glad someone else acknowledges that this era was the best and most nostalgic and beautiful. Everything had charm and soul. I'm hoping they'll go back to this. The best era.
These consoles were complete packages. Everything you would want on a handheld and made it fun(like camera apps) And it was all free. it's not 'nostalgia' the Switch was barebones, the Wii U/3DS were complete and had free online. Objectively the best Nintendo consoles ever :D
Rest in peace to 3DS and Wii U online servers.
BGMがどれも懐かしい😭
I feel like i got a wii u at the perfect time. I got the mario kart 8 with dlc edition wii u on Boxing day of 2015 with a copy of splatoon 1
I remember spending 9 hours that day playing splatoon 1
I picked up a few games here and there when I had the money and overall missed the feeling of "the wii u has no games" as i was playing catchup with my game library
Then less than a year later the switch was announced.
I got an ice white 3ds and then played the darn thing to death untill it broke i was so heartbroken until i found a dock(it was a charger problem) but it wouldn't work so i had to get a new one and got the exact same but a pink ver. and i still play it to death and even have memories playing it with my brother as he got a new 3ds xl never had a wii u
I personally loved the Wii U, I'd even consider it one of my favorite consoles of all time. It was the main system I played on from 2014-2017, and it's nice that the console will live on via the homebrew community just like the original Wii.
If I ever become a TH-camr the first video I will make will be on Mario Party 10 and Wii Party U. I fell off from gaming back in the hey day of the SNES. My father fell into hard times and that meant I missed out on the N64, GameCube and Wii generations. One day, my wife got me a Wii U with a butt load of games. I got Nintendo Land, Wii U Party, Mario 3D World, New Super Mario Bros for the Wii and Wii U, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart Wii Yoshi's Woolly World, Wii Sports, Mario Party 8, 9 and 10, Wii Party, Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Smash Bros Brawl and Wii U, and so many more!!! It was my Big Bang of gaming!! To say I fell hard into gaming, I fell hard!! The Wii U is my favorite console still and I adore my Switch, PS5 and Xbox! Mario Party 10 and Wii U Party I believe are truly underrated gems! They do a lot of the same that Nintendo Land does with the same level of charm and quirkiness. I would argue that Mario Party 10 is just as competitive as any in the series. You are in a car with four other players, and you can really screw up your opponents with hilarity! The mini bosses are hella fun!! The interactive boards can be so charming with opportunities to get stars in carnival rides for example!! And the Bowser mini games my family always has a blast with!! The other mini games are solid and the extra game modes and Amiibo boards are a great time too! Wii U Party is just as fun with all it's great mini games, wacky fun controls, and tons of different game modes!! MP10, Nintendo Land and Wii U Party were my first party games and now that I have experienced everything Nintendo from NES to Switch I am so happy these games were my reintroduction to gaming and I wasn't aware of the backlash and criticism for this generation because I experienced these games for what joy I had and not unrealized expectations. I love the Wii U and I don't think any console has been able to replicate it's unique play style. Thanks for the video!!!
I wish i got to experience the 3ds as a kid. I had a ds lite and my parents didnt wanna get a similar looking handheld. 25 now and have one now, but its definitely not the same as if i had gotten it as a kid
aw it’s okay the ds lite was awesome and a really cool experience on its own already
It is surprising that no one was confused after hearing about the 3DS, they already knew it was a new console and not just an up grade to the DS, unlike the WiiU.
The Wii U GamePad is truly the most comfortable controller I have ever used. It's quite ironic because it looks very big and uncomfortable. I really miss the Wii U GamePad.
The 3rd was one of my favorites
I lost my original 3DS in May 2020 whilst moving, and recently I've been getting really nostalgic for it since I grew up with it since 2011. I still have my Wii U from 2012 (albeit, formatted), so I don't have as much nostalgia for that compared to the 3DS.
I love the charm the 3DS gave us, and it sucks how the Switch just kinda pulled it away from it's bland design (it's still a great console, but I have a lot more charm for the 3DS and Wii U).
Back in the day the wii u was a great homeconsol but it's so underrated but still it's one most magical thing that i ever lived the wii u start up music the great games and sooo much good memories with it i hope the next consol will have the magical thing that the wii u had.
I'm curious, did you ever have the og DS or DS lite or DSi?
what's up buddy? From what I understand, you know a lot about Wii U. My question is the following, I searched, I looked and I couldn't find the translation and dubbing of Batman Arkhran Origins for Wii U, here in Brazil it released the dubbing and translation in Portuguese for all other platforms, only for Wii U which didn't , would there be a mod to put the dubbing and subtitles in Portuguese on the Wii U?
The Wii U IS my favorite console. I actually didn’t get a Wii U until after the eshop closed, so I have a very limited experience with it compared to people who loved it in it’s prime, yet I still adore the console. The switch has been nothing but frustrations for me =-_-= so I was happy when I got my Wii U and it gave me no trouble and was genuinely fun to play
Switch had better games still imo
Really hard to say about the 3DS sure it was special just like any other Nintendo system I have so I can't really place it anywhere, all I know is that it is there when I need it.
It’s simple for me: The 3DS and WiiU can do everything other Nintendo consoles do, but not the other way around.
Honestly this was Nintendo at its peak. I don’t think I will ever love a set of games from Nintendo as much as this era.
Nintendo is still peaking though
I never got the opportunity to play it so I’ve now purchased it wondering if modding it is worth it.
It rly is a shame because even with kids who are having their childhoods right now, it’ll never be the same as before. I hope with Nintendo’s next console it can truly jump and take me back to something new and nostalgic. I can’t explain how much I’d love to see the bright light aesthetic in a new generation from a company like Nintendo. For now at least, I’ll keep hoping and soon be glad that my Mario side scroller series hasn’t ended yet (I’m so excited for wonder) 🙂
If you are an Nintendo fan in high school days in the Wii U timeline, it was a dark age and almost nobody cared about it. The 3ds was the only popular one to play because of the ps vita failed in the market and almost nobody cared about it too.
@@therealjaystone2344 honestly I was one of the people who didn’t have a Wii U but not because I didn’t want it, it’s because my parents wouldn’t buy me it. I’ve still played and enjoyed many of its games though and I do like the existence of the Wii U :)
I hope nintendo makes some kind of new miiverse.
The majority has always called the Wii U a total flop, but the people that loved their Wii U have grown up now, so you can expect to hear more positive stories about this console!
I play Animal Crossing New Leaf and Tomodachi Life! They are my fave 3DS games!
I liked Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It gave the handheld games, most of which in 2D, lots of love in a 3D battle game. In fact, I think that I liked the gallery more. Brawl even had a story mode... Those were the days!

Guys lets just agree that the switch wii u and 3ds are the goat in their own way
