Here before this blows up. As a member of the Mario Kart Wii modding community I can safely say that once you've played a custom track for the first time, there's no turning back.
I used to play Mario Kart Wii with James Charles apparently. Now I'm on his old channel's recommended channels haha 'Jaycoding'. I was leader of a clan called LAB (Like A Boss) hahah
I think the Wii U is better, it can play wii games, you can mod it (plays basically every Nintendo console besides the 3DS), and has more games. The Wii is great but I'd invest in a Wii U
cool video! i never owned a console before until a month ago, when i bought a 3ds, and its been so fun to play :3 i'd love to get a wii sometime, there are a lot of games i wanna play and the overall experience would be so nice
Imo the best reason to mod a wii outside of "wii" stuff is retro gaming. Wii was kind of the first hackable console to emulate so many games like computers can and that's really cool. You can play pretty much the entire nintendo library up to that point (including gamecube without needing the controller) and even most of the sega consoles and ps1. (Ds emulation sucks though) and between the wiimote, nunchuck, classic controller, the nes/snes classic controllers, etc. You have many options to play all of them. The awkward resoluton of the wii also makes the emulation better? It ends up blending pixels in ways you'd expect on old crts (the sonic waterfall for one) and overall blurs a good line between jaggedly clear and unplayably foggy. If you want a "true" retro experience or just want to play more hardcore games that the wii itself can't provide, emulation is the way to go.
Better graphics does not mean better game! My type of games are with the Wii along with Super Nintendo and other classics out there not only do they offer replayablity but it also offers challenges like the OG Nintendo and Super Nintendo games, I know there are new games out there that are hard BUT most of the one's we get are not only too easy but feel more like a copy and paste and the games never feel complete and the deal with digital! I have been told to get with the time I say, NO! Because in my day once you buy the game it's YOURS and best part no DLC meaning the game is complete finished not saying DLC is bad but these days the games never really seem finished but when you have games like Super Mario World the game is complete and yours go have some fun!
agreed in every way possible. I am technically late gen Z, but I act like a millennium kid like me and many other people say. I play games that are older than me, but I don't care, because they are better than most newer games.
@@sahmedrb Yep! I'd rather play a game with lesser graphics but see where the love and effort went into rather than play a game with updated graphics with complex confusing and most new games never feel finished And I am in love with old school graphics, Super Nintendo games having one of my favorite video game graphics of all time
I mod Super Mario Galaxy in my free time and honestly, the Wii is so freaking amazing. Even without modding it’s so good; but then with mods, it’s fucking great… nice video!
Wii (RVL-001), Xbox 360 S, PS4, Nintendo 3DS XL/LL. Get 'em, mod 'em, love 'em forever. They can close down the e-stores, they can create obstacles to repairing or replacing components that were designed to have a very limited lifespan, they can (and have) even threaten legal action against their own loyal customers for trying to keep their cherished devices alive. No more reliance on fragile discs or aging/cheap drive motors in irreplaceable (or at least super difficult to replace) optical drives. No more being virtually bent over the barrel by "influencer" collectors driving the prices of physical copies well outside rationality. No more allowing the manufacturers to decide when we stop playing our beloved games. We paid for it, we expect it to work. It's ours, their ever-changing scope and definition of "licensing" be damned. We'll sell it off when we're good and ready, not when they tell us it's time.
real, i have had my wii since 2011 and only a week ago the disc drive broke so to think its held up for over a decade is amazing and with hacking it doesn't matter if it broke lmao
I have gotten messages about that a lot lmao, it’s because me and the other togemet (From “Forest of illusion” on Twitter) share a name, his name is “togemet2” if your wondering. :)
Wii was the first console we (haha) had at home that felt like it was meant for me. It wasn't BOUGHT for me, but in the end I was the one that ended up using it the most. That same Wii is now on my TV console :) Because I'll be damned if dad just lets a Mario Red edition Wii rot in a closet
Hey guys, Togemet is one of the kindest people I know and should really be appreciated for his high quality content, the amount of effort he puts into these videos are really outstanding and should be rewarded.
Ngl, my favorite gaming console is the Wii. I’ve always played it as a kid because we had relatives with one. They plan to give it to us as they don’t need it.
@@captainminecraft631 I have owned multiple consoles and even though they have better graphics and all that, I always resort to going back to the Wii lol
i had an old wii that glitched and caused it to not work anymore, we lost it while wanting to fix it, this year for my birthday (dec 3), im sacrificing a mario gaming chair i wanted for the Wii and nsmb wii.
this is an entertaining video and i definitely enjoyed watching it, but the title is pretty clickbait. you do say a lot of positive things about the wii that could persuade people into getting one in 2024... but you never explain why someone NEEDS a wii in 2024... i get you're a small channel but clickbait is just a bit unfortunate to see :(
something to remember is that games from other regions can't play on the wii with another region so you can only play Japanese games unless you homebrew it, then i think on usb loader you can play whatever region you want.
sorry :( if i said in the video that you needed it then there would probably be a lot of comments saying things like a ps5 is better or something. You can see what i mean if you watch the video and imagine it as if i said you needed it. sorry once again!
Srry for replying again but I agree about having a wii in 2024 I still play on it sometimes with my cousins and it is a blast playing wii sports, smash bros brawl and new super mario bros
@@FlipSide2025 you don't need to say sorry for replying its all good, whenever i am at my friends house and cousins i always play with them since its so fun lol
Why do I have more subs than u lol. I have like 700. Also can we probably Collab? Can you prob make more Wii vids? Like bad Wii games vs good Wii games or something or talking about Wii backwards compatibility? I have my own Wii it's Black (GameCube compatible btw) it's in good condition and I got it from my thrift store for just 15 dollars lol
bro you got a GREAT deal for that wii, i got mine second hand in 2011 when it was far more expensive lol, with the collab thing i mean yeah i would be down, contact me on discord at "Togemet". and yes i will be making more wii content. :)
@@Daymare19yeah it doesnt matter at all, all you need is a device to move files onto an sd card, you could literally use a phone if you have an sd card adapter
Dolphin is great but some people don’t have a computer and how can you compare an emulator to the original console like it’s always going to be better on original hard (except resolution)
Fun fact: The Wii is older than me, but I am about to graduate high-school and become a legal adult.
Same thing here!
I am older than the wii.. I mean not by much (I aint telling you the exact amount) but I am older
That makes me feel old asf
Guys why are we pinning this (smh)?

Thank god I never threw away my Wii.
I think my Nintendo Wii will outlive me for sure
If the disc drive and hardware will stay together then for sure!!

what a cool guy Recommended showed me, subscribed!
Needed just three seconds to get convinced: I need to turn back again my wii.
You don’t know how much this means to me!
I haven't used my Wii for years, this video made me want to turn it on and play! All the memories I have of it are great, and so is this video!
I think the Wii U is better, it can play wii games, you can mod it (plays basically every Nintendo console besides the 3DS), and has more games. The Wii is great but I'd invest in a Wii U
I’m trying to save up lmao

its worth it!
Great video man, keep it up!
Better yet, a Wii U (imo)
Imma buy a Wii soon. Those memories are priceless.
Agree. This console is great. Loved playing games on the wii as a kid.
Man, I remember playing Wii bowling on a hardwood floor with my shoes on.. needless to say my father was not pleased… Some good old memories
You deserve a sub for this! Much appreciated. Take care.
Love your content im gonna follow! :3
Thank you!

You should buy a Wii U. Because it's compatible with Wii games, and the moding is awesome. It also mostly works with the homebrew within the wii.

Thank you!
I have the Wii U which is backwards compatible with every wii game
Thanks great video
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Still have my 1st gen wii, been hacked for years, just amazing how long it's been going for
real, i have had my wii since 2011 and only a week ago the disc drive broke so to think its held up for over a decade is amazing and with hacking it doesn't matter if it broke lmao
@togemet1 Mine is from launch day, somehow the disc drive still works
fun fact: Priiloader actually has a patch you can enable that lets you move the disc channel :)
??!!
This video was awesome! I will forever stick to the sentiment that the Wii is the BEST game console ever (totally not nostalgia biased) New sub
Thank you so much!!!
I would do anything to see the Wii release, such a monumental console.
If I’m not mistaken you’re the guy that collects items from that very rare Japanese mario movie from the 80’s
I have gotten messages about that a lot lmao, it’s because me and the other togemet (From “Forest of illusion” on Twitter) share a name, his name is “togemet2” if your wondering. :)
Fun fact!!!! I’m as old as the Wii (born in the same year) and I play it in college.

isnt it the best
I bought one yesterday
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)

i played games as:
mp8&9 smash & mkwii
NSMBwii
Amazing vid
I don't think you really need a Wii but some of the games are still fun. And lots of homebrew potential including making and playing homebrew games
you do need it.
@@doyoulikewaffles000 naw, other than the marios, zeldas but if you are emulating there are tons of options
I'm glad I have a Wii but.... I have issues with USB Loader GX though. So I bought discs instead. Other than that a great console.
Fair enough :)

Thanks boss
peak video
I’m getting a wii after watching this
best purchase hands down
@@togemet1 yes
Jokes on you, I already have one.
Nice!!
bro you really used comic sans in the outro xd
lmao
I hadn't had a wii since 2015, let's just say.
The Toilet hated me
How did it end up in the toilet 😭
only 92 subs? not possible
WHAAT I WENT TO BED WITH 82 subs?!!?
You actually don't even need a pc, just a usb stick you can insert in your phone or sn adapter.
I uses to have a Wii U but I broke it, I don’t remember how though.
@@EdiWolfOfficial :(
And If you have enough money: buy a Wii U!
Is it harder to mod the Wii side of the Wii u? I feel like it would since it’s running off of the Wii u but I might be wrong 😑
I wish I still had my wii :(
It’s really worth it to get a Wii! If you can’t get one i suggest getting dolphin to play Wii games on pc
This is why I’m saving up for a wii rn
Edit: I got a wii
Hope you get one!
I found one for $40. They're cheap
my wii is from 2008
I got a wii, don’t have many games yet but Atleast I have wii sports and Mario kart

Why you blurred about half of the video?
Sometimes when I’m making a point I put it in there so that the viewers listen more or just to keep people eyes busy

something to remember is that games from other regions can't play on the wii with another region so you can only play Japanese games unless you homebrew it, then i think on usb loader you can play whatever region you want.

I have 2, i got them for free the day i wrote this comment

How hard is 100% Mario kart Wii?
Nah be like me and get the Wii U
Great video but it’s just very disappointing to see the title is clickbait 😕
