If the Wii U was good for anything, it would be the virtual console. It somehow became my gateway to the metroid series after I bought Super Metroid on sale for 30¢. I then transitioned to Zero Mission and Fusion. If not for the Wii U, then I'd probably not be a Metroid fan today.
This is why I have no Switch. A lot of shit that was great is now gone: - no free online - no old games to buy (you can only 'rent' them and only the ones they feel like at the moment) - They are just porting shit lately having hardly any original titles - drifting
Hypercharge you’re one of my favorite channels, which is surprising to me bc you came out of absolutely NOWHERE when TH-cam recommended your Wonderful 101 video to me... And I’m grateful every day... and I’m sappy bc you UPLOADED something, I’ve been blessed
I was searching for videos explaining "why the zelda timeline sucks" and found his 45 minute explanation of exactly that. That's how I discovered Hypercharge.
When the wonderful 101 is ported over to the switch, please record yourself throwing out the wii u!! Love this video, by far the best wii u critique/ripping I've ever seen
@Walther Penne The switch has twice as much RAM, and a MUCH better octacore CPU compared to the anemic trash that was in the Wii u, so i don't know how the switch wouldn't be capable of "hardware acceleration". Nearly every single game on the Wii uwas ported over just fine and improved upon, so I don't see why they couldn't port over the wonderful 101.
I will say the off TV play was hugely appealing to me as a kid due to the fact that growing up I basically only had access to one TV in my household because my family were... Not exactly super wealthy. Off TV play has its uses
@SuperNobody64 You look it up at Google, and it is described as a "tabletop system." Oh, and guess what a portable game system actually is. Try to connect two and two together.
It’s a nice thought to think Nintendo stuck with the Wii U to not piss off their loyal fans. But in truth, the Switch just wasn’t ready yet. If they could have bailed in 2015, they would have.
You know, you see all these people on the internet talk about underrated games, and not a single soul will tell you about the Wonderful 101. It's literally the most underrated hidden gem in probably the past 10 years and it's a shame.
Novembermann first off its *youre Secondly, I knew someone like you would have replied saying some dumb shit like that. Idk what it is with that video and dickheads like you shitting on it. It an entire trolljob from him. His entire channel has been this way for years. Idk maybe theres a lot of left wing SJW’s or right wing snowflakes who play smash cuz you guys seriously have a problem.
The advertising for the Wii U was also horrible, not just because they had cringy adds for it, but mostly because they also made it seem like the console was for kids, by having little tiny ass midget 7 year olds Star in the commercials. While the switch’s advertising was much better, because they actually had some older adults on there commercials. Because of that, it makes adults feel comfortable with buying the console, and it makes children want it more because supposedly “it’s what big kids have.” You get my point here
You can like whatever you want, but from what I have seen The WiiU is just flypaper for resentful hipsters that love to be into a non mainstream console, the switch is better on every metric
Hey man, just wanted to say your channel is one of the best gaming channels on youtube without a doubt. I always look forward to your content. I hope you are never discouraged just because you aren't huge.
Just once I'd love a video game retrospective video on TH-cam that wasn't mostly exaggerated yelling about why it sucks, but besides that this was pretty enjoyable.
In 2020 the Wonderful 101 got a remastered edition on the Nintendo Switch. Now we just wait for Windwaker HD and Twilight Princess HD and maybe Xenoblade Chroniclex X
You are one of the only people who can just drop a 45-60 minute video and I'll just watch all of it. It's always a treat to see a new video from you on my feed. I think it's refreshing to see someone with similar thoughts to me on these games. I hate the fanboys who justify Nintendo's stupid actions. At the end of the day it comes down to good games and you understand that. You know, the Wii U era kinda sucked, but with the complete lack of new games it gave me so much time to actually play some retro games that I never got around to in the past. It's inexcusable on Nintendos part for this situation even happening to begin with, but at least the Wii U had some great VC titles especially when it extends to the Wii Mode. In the last few years with the Wii U I got to play the Metroid Prime series for the first time which was amazing, as well as stuff like Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6, Super Metroid, Kirby Nightmare in Dream Land, and Ocarina of TIme. I even got to actually play DK64 and realize how disappointing it actually was. It was kind of a nice system to pick up some old games that I couldn't really have easy access to otherwise as well anymore. I liked this aspect to it (despite the choice to not have Gamecube titles being stupid). Like how are you going to sell Wii Games on VC when they're already backwards compatible, but pass up on Gamecube titles? The Switch had a really strong start but in honesty this last year has been a bit disappointing to me, and it's only been amplified with the online bullshit. I feel like they've been using Smash Bros all year as a way to justify literally nothing else worthwhile coming out and people just eat it up because its Smash Bros. Yeah, it's great, but its felt like as far as first party goes, it's been just that. The port spam has almost been insulting too as a Wii U owner, it feels like half their new games are just games I've already played and they just ignore making actual new titles. Then to top it all off, no VC is kind of a middle finger to me. They've recently added NES games to justify purchasing Switch Online, but honestly? Who cares about NES games. Maybe I'd feel different for SNES/GCN titles, even 64 games, but really, NES games is it? The marketting of the Switch and actually getting 3rd party support is refreshing at least. The gimmick is cool too, and I'm glad there seems to at least be a future for it because of 2017. But in honesty, I feel like this last year has also been pretty lacking on first party games also. btw, I agree with you on The Wonderful 101. I don't like it as much as you it seems, but it was a really enjoyable experience that I've even recommended to other people. Baffling how it didn't sell more, it even got cut to $30. I'd probably buy it again if it were ported to Switch, and I haven't even been buying the ports outside of Mario Kart because I really love that series and wanted the new content. Splat2 and Smash aren't really ports, but I do get what you mean that they don't feel super super different. They are definitive versions though.
I've been really enjoying the Switch so far, but the whole online situation is definitely a huge blunder. If they don't introduce some more interesting titles for their online service, I think I'm just going to not pay for it. I don't mind Wii U ports that much, but that's mostly because the Switch has a lot of support from other companies this time around, so I've been pretty happy with the games so far. I think the whole "port/not port" discussion doesn't really matter that much, because really, Splatoon 2 and Smash Ultimate were designed to be the definitive versions of their respective Wii U titles. I mean, obviously, their both technically new games, but they also borrowed A LOT from their Wii U counterparts. They were all built up with the previous games as a foundation, so it sort of falls within this weird grey area depending on how much "new" stuff there is. I mean, the first Smash Bros direct just straight-up confirmed the entire roster of Smash 4 within the first five minutes, and besides Link and Zelda, the rest of the cast has some pretty minor tweaks and changes (in comparison to the changes between Smash 64>Melee>Brawl>Smash 4). It's definitely has a lot of new content, but it also more of the same.
You know, im happy that you Hypercharge chose to make something original insted of becoming like another one of those cookie cutter vloging channels. (with there doofy looking hair cuts.) sure you might have more subscribers but you would have just but you would have just blended in with the crowd. So what im trying to say is thanks for being original.
The Wii U was a pretty dark time to be a Nintendo fan despite having stuff like Mario Kart, Splatoon, Smash 4 and a few other games. 2016 was the worst of it because at that point Nintendo had given up on it and the only game I got that year was Paper Mario Color Splash. Which was a game that I used to be angry about because of all the bad things I've heard about Sticker Star but I ended up liking.
I'm so fucking glad Nintendo changed back to the good red and white logo which actually is nice to look at, rather than the white and grey "Who the fuck messed with the colour choice of this design? Because I can't see shit" logo during the Wii and Wii U era.
I clicked on this video as a Wii U fan thinking it was going to say proper things about it. I was just met with some troll in the corner of the Internet unappreciative of great consoles.
While I love dragging the Wii U nowadays, it's scary to remember how depressing it was to be a Nintendo fan back then. I'm glad the Wii U's failure gave them a kick in the ass to make the Switch, which is fucking awesome.
WHAT!!! But the problem is the Wii U is Wayyyy better than the atrocity that is the Switch! Don't get me wrong,I LOVE the portability of the Switch and it's hybrid nature but it's game library is awful with lackluster sequels like Splatoon 2 and Yoshi's Crafted World and an over saturation of ports that add virtually nothing and feel soulless.
On one point you seem a little out of touch. The "I'll just move it to my bedroom TV" was not an option for a good majority of people. The scenario you described as completely unlikely of a family having one TV is really not as unlikely as you seem to think it is.
What was funny in hindsight is while they made garbage for the Wii U the 3ds was doing circles around the park. Like everyone I knew had a 3ds. I literally never bougut a Wii U because Smash 4 came out on 3ds first so then I went "Why would I buy it again when I can just go to someone's house to play that version?"
The funny thing is the 3DS was very much in the same position the Wii U was in when it launched, but Nintendo was able to throw enough games at it to make it successful.
@@HyperCharge That is also why I think Nintendo misunderstood how to blue ocean properly. You NEED big gamer titles to make positive word of mouth then sneak in the lazy shit in between to make money. You can't just ignore the big games because they don't make the money they give you a good rep.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker was ported to the Switch and had the same graphics engine as Super Mario 3D World. TT on Wii u had Wiiu exclusive features that the Switch doesn't have. They made the controls work on the Switch.
Good news Wonderful 101 is coming to PC, PS4 and Switch thanks to a successful kickstarter Platinum created. So happy that this game is finally getting a second chance
This is probably the last comment here. Here we are years later and people still continue to love and enjoy the Wii U. Switch is also a great console and it’s ok to hate the Wii U, but it’s not ok to say that no one loves the console. You 90s & 2000s kids can never bring down the Wii U fanbase but we’re ok with you hating it, as long as you don’t say we can’t have our own opinions.
Back in like 2013, this system may not have had a ton of mainstream games that justified the purchase, but it was worth buying for Pikmin 3 and The Wonderful 101 alone. Also, is it a coincidence that the two best games on the system both revolve around controlling a ton of characters? Now that it’s 2021... just get a switch, W101 Remastered and Pikmin 3 Deluxe are there for you alongside the games everyone actually cares about
Yeah I recently found your channel and pretty much binged all of your videos I love them so much, I really hope you're making a retrospective on the switch because I would love watching that!
I remember that initial reveal day and remember being like WTF Reggie. I figured it was a new peripheral at first until my head scratching made me go deep dive to discover it was in fact a new console. Didn't get one.
Sure, technically it's a new game with how much Sakurai and his team are putting into it, but it's pretty clear that Smash Bros for Wii U was heavily used as a foundation for Ultimate. It's sort of in line with all of the other ports (ie. bunching all the DLC together + some new content), but their definitely putting in a bunch of brand new stuff as well, so I think it falls in a sort of grey area. Really, the point I was trying to make was that Smash Bros for Wii U is completely irrelevant now, along with all of the other Wii U games that have been moved over to the switch.
"I've never seen a console get shafted as hard as the Wii U" Ahem Vita and DreamCast and possibly the GameCube got shafted just as much because they did half-assed ports just to be anti consumer and screw off customers with lack of new games. All of those consoles are underrated and great.
The DreamCast and GameCube weren’t anti-consumer. Mainly because the Saturn and N64 didn’t do too hot. They got blown the fuck out of the water by the PlayStation.
The main difference is that the DreamCast and GameCube got fucked by the PS2, which was a monster, not even the DS could outsell it, and that thing had like 3 revisions. Those were completely different situation, both DreamCast and GameCube had good games, some of which were only playable in said consoles, for YEARS. IIRC, not even the vita was treated as badly as the Wii U, at least the vita had its share of games appealing to the japanese market
@@DocTime56 The GameCube is unfortunately so shafted they won’t even rerelease it’s games on the Virtual Console or Switch Online. The DreamCast had its games ported pretty much right when the Xbox & GCN came out. But that doesn’t stop the Dreamcast from being great. The Vita was also shafted because its games were ported to PS3 and PS4 as Sony dropped the handheld market. But once again the Vita is also underrated. All 4 (Wii U, Vita, GameCube, Dreamcast) of these consoles are extremely underrated.
I've only seen Wonderful 101 gameplay once in my life. My ex-Wife was in a Discord call and one of her friends was streaming it. I watched it because I've always been curious, but not enough to look it up, and I never owner a Wii U. What I saw was absolutely breathtaking. And I don't think I'll ever get a chance to play it. 2022. Recession. No Wii U. No good Emulators. Not a very strong computer even if there were. Goddamn...feels bad man.
This was really good Sam! And I know I’m a few months late to this but it was really good and the part where you were talking about the gimmick about dad wanting to watch the big game, that part was really funny! The only thing I think you could have done better with this is when you were talking about Game and Wario, I think you should have shown some gameplay and show what the game is about, but other than that, great video!
@Bigblujay 97 Okay, what? Firstly I’m allowed to enjoy it if I want to and secondly, it’s a well structured, well scripted and well edited video and not just some mindless unnecessary rant video. Edit: I also explain why it’s a good video so you don’t need to put: “How is this a good video to you”
I'm going to have to admit it I was begging my mom for the Wii U eventually got it in Christmas 2015 I was begging her all 2015 and I was kind of begging her 2014
A lot of Nintendo Land's games were actually pretty enjoyable. You could even unlock interactive statues and figures, which were placed in the central plaza area. But most of the fun comes from the multiplayer. Having to use the controller of another console in order to play with a friend was a little disappointing. Of course for people like me who already had a Wii, this wasn't too big of a deal. But if you didn't then you either had to go buy a Wii or be unable to play two player, which sort of kills about half the game. I list the Wii as a requirement because who the heck buys _one_ controller but not the console to go with it? Nintendo Land is the only game I've ever played that had two player functionality but only if you also owned the previous console. To be fair though, the chances of a person owning _two_ Wii U Gamepads just so they can play with a friend in a game that came out like the day before is pretty slim. It's more likely that they'd have a Wiimote.
0:18 "One of the weakest libraries I've ever seen" I feel bad for you,you must be smoking too much weed. If you go to the hospital and try to get better you'll see it's actually a great library of games.
I just recently discovered this channel, and you know why I like watching your videos (aside from the information you give, of course)? It's that a 45 minute video means a 45 minute video. Not 40 minutes of video, then 5 minutes of sell-out and/or begging bullshit.
Over the past year I have watched this at least 5 times. I laugh my ass off so hard, it never gets old.
"Mario & Sonic at the god damn fucking Sochi Olymics" gets me every time for some reason
Idk but I rewatch his retrospectives at least once a year😂
That Wii U game over bit fucking floored me.😂
I can't stop 😂
"Kirby city trial"
I mean you're not wrong lol
If the Wii U was good for anything, it would be the virtual console. It somehow became my gateway to the metroid series after I bought Super Metroid on sale for 30¢. I then transitioned to Zero Mission and Fusion. If not for the Wii U, then I'd probably not be a Metroid fan today.
Yeah I love the virtual console :)

This is why I have no Switch. A lot of shit that was great is now gone:

Which was a game that I used to be angry about because of all the bad things I've heard about Sticker Star but I ended up liking.
Fuck offs,Wii U is the best Nintendo console.
@@ianeons9278 I never said I disliked the Wii U but okay.
I'm so fucking glad Nintendo changed back to the good red and white logo which actually is nice to look at, rather than the white and grey "Who the fuck messed with the colour choice of this design? Because I can't see shit" logo during the Wii and Wii U era.
I actually had to edit the grey logo's to white in this video because you couldn't fucking see them
I honestly love the button and stick layout of the wiiU it just felt comfortable for no reason.
I clicked on this video as a Wii U fan thinking it was going to say proper things about it. I was just met with some troll in the corner of the Internet unappreciative of great consoles.
I WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS ONE
While I love dragging the Wii U nowadays, it's scary to remember how depressing it was to be a Nintendo fan back then. I'm glad the Wii U's failure gave them a kick in the ass to make the Switch, which is fucking awesome.
WHAT!!!
But the problem is the Wii U is Wayyyy better than the atrocity that is the Switch!
Don't get me wrong,I LOVE the portability of the Switch and it's hybrid nature but it's game library is awful with lackluster sequels like Splatoon 2 and Yoshi's Crafted World and an over saturation of ports that add virtually nothing and feel soulless.
@Walther Penne You’re an idiot if you don’t understand the Switch’s innovation
Considering your other comments though, can’t say its shocking
Best retrospective on the Wii U, right there.
Worst*
On one point you seem a little out of touch. The "I'll just move it to my bedroom TV" was not an option for a good majority of people. The scenario you described as completely unlikely of a family having one TV is really not as unlikely as you seem to think it is.
TVs were very cheap around 2012. I'd argue the majority of Americans had more than one by then.
What was funny in hindsight is while they made garbage for the Wii U the 3ds was doing circles around the park. Like everyone I knew had a 3ds. I literally never bougut a Wii U because Smash 4 came out on 3ds first so then I went "Why would I buy it again when I can just go to someone's house to play that version?"
The funny thing is the 3DS was very much in the same position the Wii U was in when it launched, but Nintendo was able to throw enough games at it to make it successful.
@@HyperCharge That is also why I think Nintendo misunderstood how to blue ocean properly. You NEED big gamer titles to make positive word of mouth then sneak in the lazy shit in between to make money. You can't just ignore the big games because they don't make the money they give you a good rep.
Wii U Haters = Fat
Wii U has better games than the 3DS and half of the people I knew in 2nd grade had a Wii U. U just never gave it a chance because u ignorant.
@@ianeons9278😂 the WiiU is trash, you can love it if you want I am glad Nintendo will never revisit that dead end.
When Super Mario 3D World gets ported, there will be no point of the Wii U besides the streaming apps that the Switch don't have.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker was ported to the Switch and had the same graphics engine as Super Mario 3D World. TT on Wii u had Wiiu exclusive features that the Switch doesn't have. They made the controls work on the Switch.
Walther Penne The Wii u is 30fps.
@Walther Penne just commenting to give you a heads up that you might want to delete these comments while you still have the chance...
Good news Wonderful 101 is coming to PC, PS4 and Switch thanks to a successful kickstarter Platinum created. So happy that this game is finally getting a second chance
And now there really is no reason to play the Wii U. The only game left that I want to see ported is Xenoblade Chronicles X.
@MrSupersonic2012
Wii U is best Nintendo console.
Just because you hate Wii U doesn't mean that everyone does.
This is probably the last comment here. Here we are years later and people still continue to love and enjoy the Wii U. Switch is also a great console and it’s ok to hate the Wii U, but it’s not ok to say that no one loves the console. You 90s & 2000s kids can never bring down the Wii U fanbase but we’re ok with you hating it, as long as you don’t say we can’t have our own opinions.
I bought a Wii U in 2019....Love it, ha!
Back in like 2013, this system may not have had a ton of mainstream games that justified the purchase, but it was worth buying for Pikmin 3 and The Wonderful 101 alone.
Also, is it a coincidence that the two best games on the system both revolve around controlling a ton of characters?
Now that it’s 2021... just get a switch, W101 Remastered and Pikmin 3 Deluxe are there for you alongside the games everyone actually cares about

2 Underrated games on a underrated console
There is plenty of reason to get a Wii U. Just look at Modding, virtual console, and dual screens. Plus ports are irrelevant.
Ok Nazi
This makes me hope for a w101 sequel on switch
Atleast you got it ported
I loved my Smash 4 machine!
It had way more games than that bro.
Yeah umm what’s your Wii U user name I want to play with you when I get one
I was legit about to get mad when you mentioned The Wonderful 101.
Great video.
I can't wait for the Switch Nintendrone.
Wii U never failed,WE failed the Wii U.
Not “we” it was Nintendo who failed it
Great video as always. I Look forward to all your new shit.
No
Alternative title:
Hypercharge VS. Wii U fans
You know it's good day when there's a Hyper Charge upload
Wonderful 101 is on switch & PS4 now
Time to throw that Wii U in the trash then
I like your channel. 🐾
I was literally looking at your videos yesterday wonderwing when you would post again.
I haven't even watched the entire video yet, but thank you for making videos
How can you possibly have not enjoyed Wii U,It had so many amazing games!
It's not hard when it's a shit console
Yeah I recently found your channel and pretty much binged all of your videos I love them so much, I really hope you're making a retrospective on the switch because I would love watching that!
YES HYPERCHARGE UPLOADED
Yay you uploaded
This video is so underrated.
No, the Wii U is so underrated, not this video.
Love your channel man. Keep it up been sick. Been binge watching your videos getting me through the days lol
I was just waiting for this i love you!!!!
i think he threw his wii u in the trash
No
Tbh Mario Maker should have been a launch title.
Along with Splatoon
Great video! I bought a Wii U a year after it came out. I had most of the games you went over.
I remember that initial reveal day and remember being like WTF Reggie. I figured it was a new peripheral at first until my head scratching made me go deep dive to discover it was in fact a new console. Didn't get one.
You missed out on your childhood. Never became a true gamer.
@@ianeons9278 I was 23 when the Wii U was released. My childhood was well provided for by the N64!
@@JoelJoel321 same for me and the GameCube
How the hell is Ultimate a port when they straight up changed some characters and there's new and different gameplay mechanics?
I will still use my Wii u
Amazing content dude keep it up.
This video was mostly trash
Seems like in the mario maker section you forgot most people got it to make levels as well as playing it. that was the best part for me by far
“Super Smash Bros is being ported over to the switch.”
Ultimate isn’t a port though...
Sure, technically it's a new game with how much Sakurai and his team are putting into it, but it's pretty clear that Smash Bros for Wii U was heavily used as a foundation for Ultimate. It's sort of in line with all of the other ports (ie. bunching all the DLC together + some new content), but their definitely putting in a bunch of brand new stuff as well, so I think it falls in a sort of grey area. Really, the point I was trying to make was that Smash Bros for Wii U is completely irrelevant now, along with all of the other Wii U games that have been moved over to the switch.
I see
@@HyperCharge No, actually, I heard it was actually made from scratch.
HyperCharge You were quite wrongn
@@hisuianpitch - It wasn't, like, it just wasn't, even if they said they did.
People may not care about the Wii U now, but give it 5-10 years and people will be desperate to collect for it.
Exactly
When Sam slammed the table ranting about Super Smash Bros I fucking lost it
Just admit it nintendo likes November
Poor Wii U, I love my Wii U! While I do have a switch, my Wii U is still great and relaxant for virtual console, netflix, and other great games guys!
"I've never seen a console get shafted as hard as the Wii U"
Ahem Vita and DreamCast and possibly the GameCube got shafted just as much because they did half-assed ports just to be anti consumer and screw off customers with lack of new games. All of those consoles are underrated and great.
The DreamCast and GameCube weren’t anti-consumer. Mainly because the Saturn and N64 didn’t do too hot. They got blown the fuck out of the water by the PlayStation.
The main difference is that the DreamCast and GameCube got fucked by the PS2, which was a monster, not even the DS could outsell it, and that thing had like 3 revisions. Those were completely different situation, both DreamCast and GameCube had good games, some of which were only playable in said consoles, for YEARS.
IIRC, not even the vita was treated as badly as the Wii U, at least the vita had its share of games appealing to the japanese market
@@DocTime56
The GameCube is unfortunately so shafted they won’t even rerelease it’s games on the Virtual Console or Switch Online. The DreamCast had its games ported pretty much right when the Xbox & GCN came out. But that doesn’t stop the Dreamcast from being great. The Vita was also shafted because its games were ported to PS3 and PS4 as Sony dropped the handheld market. But once again the Vita is also underrated. All 4 (Wii U, Vita, GameCube, Dreamcast) of these consoles are extremely underrated.
I've only seen Wonderful 101 gameplay once in my life.
My ex-Wife was in a Discord call and one of her friends was streaming it. I watched it because I've always been curious, but not enough to look it up, and I never owner a Wii U.
What I saw was absolutely breathtaking.
And I don't think I'll ever get a chance to play it.
2022. Recession. No Wii U. No good Emulators. Not a very strong computer even if there were.
Goddamn...feels bad man.
Cemu isn't a good emulator? Huh?
This was really good Sam! And I know I’m a few months late to this but it was really good and the part where you were talking about the gimmick about dad wanting to watch the big game, that part was really funny! The only thing I think you could have done better with this is when you were talking about Game and Wario, I think you should have shown some gameplay and show what the game is about, but other than that, great video!
How's is a good video to you? It's just a rant on an underrated console.
@Bigblujay 97
Okay, what? Firstly I’m allowed to enjoy it if I want to and secondly, it’s a well structured, well scripted and well edited video and not just some mindless unnecessary rant video.
Edit: I also explain why it’s a good video so you don’t need to put: “How is this a good video to you”
@JamesVersusEverything Nah! It's more of a rant than a good video. It's fine If you love it tho.

Okay

10:07 is so hilariously true lmao
The Switch’s release basically banked on Breath of the Wild being successful
Wii U is still better
I'm going to have to admit it I was begging my mom for the Wii U eventually got it in Christmas 2015 I was begging her all 2015 and I was kind of begging her 2014
A lot of Nintendo Land's games were actually pretty enjoyable. You could even unlock interactive statues and figures, which were placed in the central plaza area. But most of the fun comes from the multiplayer. Having to use the controller of another console in order to play with a friend was a little disappointing. Of course for people like me who already had a Wii, this wasn't too big of a deal. But if you didn't then you either had to go buy a Wii or be unable to play two player, which sort of kills about half the game. I list the Wii as a requirement because who the heck buys _one_ controller but not the console to go with it?
Nintendo Land is the only game I've ever played that had two player functionality but only if you also owned the previous console. To be fair though, the chances of a person owning _two_ Wii U Gamepads just so they can play with a friend in a game that came out like the day before is pretty slim. It's more likely that they'd have a Wiimote.

For a second I thought that you have reuploaded your wii video :P
The name stands for Wii as in us and U meaning its also an experience of you. According to Reggie
I just recently discovered this channel, and you know why I like watching your videos (aside from the information you give, of course)? It's that a 45 minute video means a 45 minute video. Not 40 minutes of video, then 5 minutes of sell-out and/or begging bullshit.
