- Nintendo paid me to go to other people's place and "teach them" how to "connect their console to the internet". This is a weird story.

One of the graphics I used for Europe here is apparently missing some countries (it is highly stylised and all) and I did not notice when I first bought it from Envato
I am sorry for that ok I am a one-woman team doing everything I will do better let's retcon this and pretend it was intentional and a funny joke I put in order to drive engagement and more comments.
EDIT: also for some reason the youtube processing/encoding made the 2 stereo audio channels uneven with one having a slightly higher volume than the other, i tried contacting youtube support about that and i hope they can help me fix it soon qwq sorry for that i hope that is not too annoying
The amount of effort you put in this video is (as always) insanely impressive, all the more so that you did it entirely by yourself. The way you seamlessly made the video's content look like it was something else kept getting me. You needn't apologize for a brief graphic most people probably didn’t even notice the mistake with.
That said, the highly stylized map of Europe you included was a pretty funny joke and increased my engagement with the video.
who needs countries anyways
Silly Billy
13:21 "... here in the EU..." Ireland is invisible and Britain's whole Brexit thing is reversed. The latter more than makes up for the former!

now she's doing sketches, everyday she's closer of being a personality core written by valve
that or Scott the Woz
@@hecdcom Scott the Woz is more like a personality cube. All the personality but a lot more edge.
@@kip258 scott the woz has the same amount of edge as dilbert what are you saying
@@saltedmutton7269 Yeah, all edge. Completely made of edges. Every side is an edge. More edges than surfaces, like a personality tesseract.
Is this supposed to mean what? Actually her content is always very good. And she's having fun. Is that a problem?
I literally got jumpscared by MattKC at 19:50 I just was not expecting his voice.
LMFAO same
i very hapy
Thought that voice sounded familiar
HOLY FUCK SAME, I IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED IT.
the fact that this program existed at all makes the wii mini even more strange because that thing just, can’t connect to the internet, it’s just like a wii cut in half, no gamecube support, no online/ shop channel, just base wii games and that’s it
mini me. mini wii
At that point, it’s just 0.4 GameCubes
(because a Wii is honestly like 1.2 GameCubes duct taped together, and the mini is a Wii with like almost none of the features)
@@sexygirlmax2019 Give me Mini. Mini Wii. Mini now. Wii a Mini needing a lot now.
it actually has the the traces and pads on the pcb where the WiFi card and SD card slot would connect, so they originally planned for it to be a full Wii, but then decided to cost-cut instead. (u can connect ur own wifi card and sd slot)
Afaik the Wii Mini was more so marketed towards underdeveloped countries and retirement homes, who would probably not be connecting their Wii to the internet and much less likely to buy points on it.
Like she says in the video, the Wii was pretty much just a Wii Sports machine for a lot of people, who would at most buy one or two other physical games.
My wii was never connected to the internet because my mom thought that shit was the devil
OH MY GOD! The nostalgia for those Windows Movie Maker tutorials, the notepads explaining with text instead of using audio, the graphics... I went back to my childhood.
White text on a dusty blue background was certainly.... an aesthetic.
Fantastic video, I was assuming this would talk about modern Wii online gaming like Wiimmfi , but you just unlocked a memory of seeing hundreds of Free Wii Points videos in the early days of TH-cam and it blew my mind to finally have context as to why I could never get these free points/free games.
Same haha
19:51 Yooo, that's our boy and decomp resident expert, MattKC!
I THOUGHT THAT SOUNDED LIKE HIM
ITS THE LEGO ISLAND GUY!!! D:
babe wake up new f4mi just dropped
It's weird to think that debit cards weren't enabled for online spending. I've always used a debit card since I never wanted to get in debt. I know at the time the Wii launched I was already making purchases online with it in various places. It never occurred to me that not all cards would work with online merchants.
By 2010 there were a lot of banks in Australia issuing Visa or Mastercard debit cards which can be used online, but the "EFTPOS" debit cards which were still pretty common couldn't be used online (and still can't even now, although they're seen much less often these days).
@@a_meme_name Most Aussie cards are dual-network these days. If you use it as "credit" or tap to pay, it uses the Mastercard or Visa network. If you use it as "debit" or "cheque", it uses the EFTPOS network which is processed entirely in Australia and has significantly lower fees for the merchant.
Dual network cards are very uncommon worldwide and AFAIK only Australia has them in widespread use.
Generally only the Visa, Mastercard, and American Express worked online, whereas in Europe it wasn't uncommon to see things like the Maestro card, which is still used to this day (although Maestro was recently discontinued so they'll go away at some point).
Even if my debit card was enabled for online shopping I'd still use my separate rechargeable card because it's safer
@@a_meme_name i used to be with a credit union back in 2022 and their cards still could not be used online. They did not have visa or mastercard debit cards. was pretty crazy they told me to just get a credit card to buy shit online. I then had to deal with PayPal who eventually sent my account to collections and they have non-existent customer service (basically).
Wow, my whole life I thought "keep your eyes on the ball" was something coaches said in baseball teenage movies. I learn something new with each video, keep up the great work!
I think Wii Sports selling Wiis is a good explanation of why they never really bundled full games with any console afterwards, like how everyone thought the Switch would have had a sports game bundled with it.
It just wasn't very profitable compared to doing bundles that include a game with the console.
f4mi has 57k subs that illegal she should have atleast 1 mil
It's crazy watching how much better your videos have gotten, ever since I watched the homebrew music video the quality of your content is getting better and better. Keep getting interested in weird topics and hope you have a nice day 🤠
Fun thing, there's files in the gigaleak's internal emails from the Wii development repos with .wad files that contain rough versions of the VC emulators, with the NES one even being able to boot on a regular Gamecube and play SMB1 (no clue if the rest will boot on retail GCs, could be signed for dev consoles only)
haven't looked at the leak but i assume that emulator stems from the same emulator they used in Animal Crossing where you could get NES games and play them
Fami CANNOT keep a straight face about anything she enjoys. Very endearing!
19:51 wasn't expecting MattKC's voice to randomly show up, but I'm happy it did (other than the part where it got me to write this comment instead of working on my homework)
Ah yes, the many many "Free" tutorials on early 2000s TH-cam saving the day as usual. Good times, good times.
Great video!
Australia isn't really a cash-first society... Back in 2010, the majority of Aussies already had Visa/MasterCard debit cards with "tap to pay" capability. I remember being able to easily use the Wii shop.
wow! in the us we only got major tap to pay compatibility in 2020 because of the pandemic and how everyone used apple pay
@@Poosaycvm I'm Aussie but have been living in the USA for a little over 10 years now. When I left Australia in 2013, tap to pay was already commonplace - everyone used it. It was strange moving to the USA (to Silicon Valley!) and finding that the technology wasn't being used here at all! Some of my US cards didn't get tap to pay support until last year.
In Australia, transactions over $100 needed you to enter your PIN or use biometric authentication (e.g. fingerprint on your phone). This limit was increased to $200 during COVID. That's something different in the USA - there's no limit other than whatever your bank's regular limits are.
@@Daniel15auDamn, for as long as I can remember us Australians used tap to pay, albeit that's probably because I'm quite young.
I never connected my Wii to the internet because I had homebrew software lol
how did you get the homebrew software?
@@goatbone uh...with cfw and stuff you know?
@@goatboneThe Wii itself doesn’t need to be online to softmod. Even the WiiMini has been jailbroken by using the limited storage on Wii Remotes.
The way I audibly screamed "OH MY GOD IT'S MATTKC" when he came in for the VO
I don't remember ever hearing about this scheme in the UK, but also I didn't need a separate debit card to buy online either so maybe it was just mainland Europe that were weird with cash and cards. A friend of mine in Belgium still doesn't have a debit card that works online for some reason.
just wanted you to know that the daft club joke just cemented you as my favorite youtuber ever. fantastic videooo
Love the usage of Half-Life 2 sounds for "censorship"! Your videos keep getting better
PS: Ohneschwanzenegger literally translates do "Without-d1ck-enegger" so props for not even trying to pronounce it.
hearing MattKC reading a quote in this vid gave me some fun whiplash
Ohh I remember this! And I also remember modding the Wiis of the entire neighborhood while I was at it, getting paid from the neighbors on top of this ambassador program!
I remember the Connection Ambassador Program! I think I got like 2000 or 20000 (not even sure) Wii Points in total, which is $20 or even $200. The worst thing was that there was a limit.
I was not expecting her to have white hair for some reason.
She looks amazing oh my god like an actress
The intro sketch is like a deleted Atomic Blonde scene.
Interesting video, I'd never heard of this program before but can see why it would be easily exploitable
That opening really got me, fantastic work on that. Additionally, I'm loving the amazing amounts of polish each of your newer uploads have. Keep up the fantastic work!
I'm from Europe, and I forgot about that "help people to connect their console to the internet" Nintendo program until I saw this video.
These videos are so nostalgic for me. ❤ Also really loving the quality of these sketches you're adding to the video
I am, and have always been, absolutely in love with your content and style. Major props.
i hope we get more skits in the future tbh
Ok so MattKC voice, Daft Punk reference, Wii topic and weird idea, emulators, crafter visuals. Just take my soul already.
Amazing video I immediately exploded the subscribe button.
The fact I never knew anything about this is downright wild, as someone who's first console was the Wii.
I love your videos and I could honestly listen to you talk about any topic for hours, your voice is so nice!
The custom graphics you create are entertaining as heck
This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and I love it, you’re great at making videos and your style is very unique!
Well researched, entertaining, glad I stumbled upon this channel!
19:51 MattKC’s voiceover felt like an infinity war cameo
DAMN, the editing is INSANE Fami!
Great Job, Great video!!
2:04 HA! I ALWAYS THOUGHT NINTENDO WAS A SECT.
Great video as always, I had absolutely no idea this existed and it is super cool that it did. I'm also not surprised that you managed to take advantage of it when it was available, thaT's super cool.
Hoping your computer is uncursed! Clearly the power of the Nintendo Revolution was too much for it.
Great vid! Saw it on homepage, I liked your humor and editing :)
I am so glad I found your channel. You put so much effort into ur videos! Thank you 😊
It’s amazing to see how the production value goes up more and more with every video.
Never hacked a Wii (got a weirdly hacked one many years ago), but I might to look into it…
New favourite youtuber just dropped. You had me at Harmony Remote.
I randomly stumbled upon you from some unrelated Twitter post, unaware of your content-- you been hyping this shit up for a bit now and I see why, top tier shit
I can't believe you don't have 100k subscribers yet. You definitely deserve it. Great video!
The quality of these videos just keeps going up. Amazing work again!
Man, I haven't seen this channel for a while. Keep it up the good work.
The editing and script for this video is hilarious, fantastic job
that intro was so cool. ur videos are improving so fast! keep it up
Another banger! You've made me want to see if I've still got any of the old Wii Points cards that came in the same DVD cases the games did here in the UK. From what I can remember, there's quite a rabbit hole you can (and probably did find yourself during research) falling down when it comes to quirky marketing efforts from Nintendo in Europe during the Wii and DS era, I'd love to see you cover more as Wii antics have become a niche for you.
your video popped up in my recommended randomly and i'm shocked i haven't seen your channel sooner. i love the editing in this so much. you're so fucking cool
hi!! i'm surprised you hadn't found f4mi before, you've got a lot of good videos to binge lol
this is actually the best video on TH-cam right now i literally loved every single second of this
Hopefully this video blows up, and your channel this video is really high quality.
Look at you! Making all cinematic intro masterpieces! *chef's kiss*
Really professional. I like the channel a lot.
she's literally written by valve
Your Patreon page domain is the best thing I have heard all day 🤣I am so glad I found this channel
Very informative. Never knew of this ambassador program.
Also, I heard the Pictionary NES theme. Nice!
Happy holidays y all. Nice work fami.
This was such a joyfull trip to 2010. Thank you so much, f4mi!
I love you for adding Klaxon Beat in at 4:00.
Awesome video as always. Loved the intro. I can't believe I watched the full 28mins at 1x speed.
"A GameCube on Ritalin" I'm stealing that
F4MI FINALLY DROPPED THE WII VIDEO I BEEN WAAAAAITING HOLYYYY WWWWW
awesome video! Loved it
You're definitely becoming one of my favorite console gaming channel ! I genuinely love your original content !
I live in Morocco, as a North Africans, we use PAL European consoles/games, so I can relate to the credit cards thing ! That also shows how the American market is so different !
i am sleepy as heck and while looking at this video i thought you were playing actual old footage when you were just doing editing magic
wonderful video loved every bit of it, hope you manage to get bailed out for that 20 counts of fraud
Now I know if my DAMN Wii is connected to internet, but I don’t know where the DAMN fourth chaos emerald is!
Great video, as always!
oh good, a new video from my favorite channel
My god.
It's a masterpiece.
Thank you f4mi, much love.
your content is incredible
4:42 i thought i was tripping when i heard the music 😭😭 sega gt 2002 ost is great tho, amazing music choice
This is the question that makes my blood run cold.
More f4mi bangers??? Made my day that much brighter thank f4mi ♥️🙏
This is the greatest yt channel my god
awesome video, made me learn a lot of stuff! Also the movie maker part killed me lmfao
13:16 THE DAFT CLUB CARD 😭😭😭
As always, great video
The amount of work, effort, and love in this video is unreal.
19:51 ayyy i am hearing mattkc here nice also good vid f4mi
I did *not* see that ending coming. A+
This video was really well made, i liked it!
Hope that you can get your pc repaired soon...
7:35 pretty sure we got commodore 64 in north america but they removed it in like 2010 for some reason. I remember seeing the category in the vc section of the wii shop channel and having no clue what it was at the time
Had to buy a car just to make that opening sketch. Such dedication
another f4mi banger as expected
very funny and informative video!!
I truly thank PuNkY for sharing this video on twitter because I'm discovering your amazing channel omg this is incredible
I know in my country, The Netherlands, you could get these wii shop points among the gift cards "section" near the cash register in at least the biggest supermarket chain in the country, and you still can get the nintendo cards, but I don't know if they are now exclusive to switch (which I think, because I don't think any other nintendo platform still has an active shop)
your channel is so underrated
“Exchange rate hamburger version” made me audibly laugh in the middle of my work office. 😂
the quality of this video is amazing
another f4mi banger related to the wii let's go
I wonder what the wii points per hour works out to sitting in front of your PC cloning wii NANDs ... I have some seriously great memories playing n64 games on the wii virtual console. watching the clips of you go through the wii shop channel purchase process was such a wild nostalgia trip
