Wii Sports Resort really is something special. Wuhu Island is one of the most fully realized locations Nintendo's ever had, which is crazy since it's so down to earth compared to their more wacky worlds. But I think that's the beauty of it, being so similar to our own world, and yet so inviting all the same. And all of the activities from bowling to basketball to swordplay to archery and especially the island flyover gave you tons of reasons to come back. It's genuinely one of my favorite games of all time.

@@kirbybieNintendo Switch Chess should be made and keep NS Sports's own take on the Mii, but keep the original Mii as an option. It could include Miis and Sport's Miis as pieces as an option too.
I thought I owned just Resort for the longest time (this was from 2011-2023 I owned a Wii since 2011) Earlier this year I found Open Season, COD3 and Wii Sports + Wii Sports Resort all on Wii. It was really cool and the game discs work too (I used a Wii U)
the wii series is the 8th best selling video game franchise of all time, surpassing franchises like final fantasy, sonic, and zelda, so i'm surprised it's not talked about more
Yeah, but mostly because they aren't available to play on new devices anymore. They're more of a nostalgic relic I guess, but I suppose it could still be surprising that they aren't talked about much.
@@v4n1ty92 While yes that is true, you have to remember that the reason the wii sold so well was because of the popularity of wii sports and wii sports resort. I'm not saying that's the only reason but it's certainly a big one.
The island fly over always made me wish it didnt have such a small time limit, there is another island if you go far enough (but it is a wayyy smaller island). It also came with morning, sunset and dusk mode. It was just a relaxing game mode that i wish got brought to the switch
Wii music actually taught me a lot about music arrangement and production to some degree. I thought was so magical to make different genres of well known songs
When I saw the title, I instantly felt nostalgia for a wii game where you ski down a mountain that used the balance board. I haven’t played it in a long time, and maybe it’s just my nostalgia talking, but I remember it having one of the best atmospheres I’ve ever experienced in a game. When Scott got to the end of the video and didn’t even mention it, I googled the game only to find out it was called We Ski instead of Wii Ski.
Called *Family Ski* in Japan, it was made by Bandai Namco’s Ridge Racer team, and would be followed by two sequels: *We Ski & Snowboard* then *Go Vacation* .
genuinely stoked that wii sports resort was yr #1 pick. that’s the first video game i ever played all the way back in christmas 2009 so it really holds a special place in my heart
Wii Party U was a drop of water in the desert for Mario Party fans at the time. It's not great, but it's a hell of a lot better than what Mario was offering. I remember being ecstatic to play on a board without piling into a car
Never realized until this just how many games in this “Wii” series there were. With that name they definitely standout in a Wii and Wii U game collection. Of the ones I played I’d say Wii Sports Resort is my personal favorite and best.
I definitely want to try out the "Wii" games that I never got around to having. And yes, Wii Sports Resort is also my favourite and it's definitely the best one.
I LOVED Wii Music when it came out. Maybe it’s because I was a die-hard band geek when I was in middle and high school, but I always got a kick out of creating music and variations on songs in the game 🎶
He only wanted to go over all of Nintendo's games that had "Wii" in the name, hence the Wii series name (And Nintendo Switch Sports because it's a spiritual successor to Wii Sports)
@@SuspiciousScoutNintendo Switch Sports is a direct successor to the Wii Sports games, so it is part of the Wii series (confusingly lol). It is also the only one to not include Wii in the name
@@carro179 Well I think it's just splitting hairs at that point. I only said "spiritual successor" because it's obviously succeeding the Wii Sports games in many ways, just it's transformed into a pretty different thing aesthetically with the sportsmates and new spocco square location,
Hey Scott! Been a fan for awhile and I love your videos, and I'm glad to see you talk about the Wii series, because it feels like most people forget about the Wii series aside from both Wii Sports games and Wii Play and that Mis are kind of forgotten now, which is a bit sad to me, because I grew up with the Wii and I'd love to see the Miis and the original Wii Sports games make a big comeback on Switch or the next console because I a soft spot and a ton of nostalgia and good memories with them.
Dude how the hell do you just keep landing hit after hit, legitimately one of the most talented people to ever do it right here. And this isn't even a main series video 😸
Wii Sports Resort is unironically one of the most pure fun games Nintendo has made. Yeah I wouldn't put it in my Top 100 due to barely revisiting it... but I just have a strong respect for how much soul is put into it despite what it is.
Scott makes a good point with locking customization for Nintendo Switch Sports. Imagine in order to get more hairstyles in Splatoon 3 you have to play through the catalog or randomly pull one from the Shell-Out machine.
the wii series was one of my first intros to gaming since wii sports automatically came with my wii. As a child growing up with this system, this series made it super easy to learn how to play video games. I learned controls and caught on quickly to the layout of the remote and the gimmicks that came with it. I genuinely view this series as the most widespread wii game series since the game can be enjoyed by any player, whether you had played video games or not.
31:20 "you don't have to explain any of them", tell that to every kid outside of north america and japan that had basically never heard of baseball lol
The best way to describe Switch Sports in my opinion is that it tries to appeal to those who have nostalgia for Wii Sports, but it scrubs away everything that would invoke nostalgia. Moving away from Miis, different styled music, the game being entirely indoors, (in what feels like the ship from Wall-E might I add) it all feels like it's trying to piggyback off of the legacy of Wii Sports without understanding why it's looked at so fondly now. So many TikToks use music or elements, or outright base themselves on the Wii's aesthetic that for Nintendo to only bring over the *gameplay* shows they don't know why those of us in our early-to-mid 20s still feel something in our hearts for the Wii series.
I think what scatt was trying to say about the simplicity of these games is the simpler the game the more room there is for fun. And not complicating it with like Wii motion plus or whatever. Also Wii play and Wii fit plus over Motion is crazy.
@@luigitime202That’s the thing tho, we don’t know. Nintendo switch sports was deliberately said by Nintendo to be a part of the wii series. I don’t think they’ve mentioned anything about nintendo land being a part of the same series
@@gbx4858 I mean, it’s a game about Miis, and it introduces you to what the console is capable of. You know what other game does that? Wii Play. It hasn’t been deconfirmed so I’m just kinda set in my ways lol
It makes me so happy to see praise for Wii Fit U :') I LOVE the new minigames it added. I was sad at the removal of the penguin minigame but the new ones were so good that I don't mind. The ocean exploration one is genuinely one of my favorite experiences of the Wii series. Super underrated and another awesome game tragically stuck on the Wii U forever.
No surprises about Wii Sports Resort there. I have dozens of amazing memories with it. My favorite thing to do was 100% island flyover. I loved to have little internal monologues about where I was flying and why 😭 the only game that could’ve topped it for me was 51 Clubhouse Games, but I understand why it wasn’t included
Thank you so much for this video, Scott. There's a lot of games in here that I didn't even know existed, haha. I'll definitely pick up a copy of Wii fit U next time I'm in my retro shop... maybe even a board.
Kind of surprised Ring Fit Adventure wasn't included. I think it definitely fits the general "vibe" of a Wii series game, but maybe it's just a bit too different to really put it in the same category as Wii Fit despite both being fitness-centered games.
Nintendo Switch Sports is here because it's banking on the Wii Sports formula through and through, and Wii Chess is just here because it wrote Wii on its nametag. Ring Fit Adventure doesn't really have either of those, even with Wii Fit in mind because they are fundamentally and structurely completely different, not to mention it doesn't even acknowledge Miis at all.
@@MizunoKetsuban That's a good point. Actually kind of surprises me that there's no presence of Miis at all in Ring Fit Adventure. Not even as some sort of profile picture for a leaderboard or tracking your progress. Then again, ever since the Switch entered the scene, Miis have been less emphasized and present in Nintendo's games and marketing. Even the Mii Maker is hidden in the profile settings of the Switch as opposed to being up front in one of the game-card slots as it's own separate application like before. But circling back to your point, you're right. Ring Fit Adventure is ultimately it's own separate thing detached from Wii Fit and the greater Wii series of games and is structually a lot diffeent gameplay-wise despite aiming for a similar audience. It's not a direct sequel or remake. You could see it as a spiritual successor, as many see it as "the Switch's Wii Fit", but it's still its own thing. It's like if someone compared 1-2 Switch to Wii Play/Motion as the Switch's equivalent to that, but it has no ties to it really, and again, has no Miis present.
I would have made Wii Chess to be something like "Wii Board" in which you have other board games apart of chess, like ludo, jenga, "beer pong", card house, etc. Some of them would have been interesting just because you have to keep your pulse while using the Wii remote in order to play them, and others would let you to customize you pieces in the board (based on a comment done before this one). Anyway, this chess or board game mode had much more potential but it was critically wasted. P.D. great work doing this ranking! It gave me some nostalgia vibes, thank you for that!
My family and I ADORED Wii Party (the original) we played it every weekend and got so worked up over this silly little mii game. It was our wonderful tradition and I will always be nostalgic for it
every shot with the game boxes on the carpet and scott’s arms make me imagine that he’s just filming these while laying face down on the ground swinging his legs in the air
I play the shit out of Nintendo Switch Sports , I got it like a year and a half ago and still boot it up semi-regularly. Its awesome. I think it got placed too low. I dont have friends who would ever want to play wii sports so the online-centric design really bumps it up for me. It also gets me up and moving which is a big reason I play it.
The switch sports avatars look like uncanny valley for animal crossing player characters. They have a similar vibe, same face shape, even the little red-orange triangle nose, but theyre just. Too detailed.
I always loved the concept of Wuhu Island. I always wanted a free roam mode in Wii Sports Resort outside of only flying around the island. After watching this video, I see that Wii Fit U has some kind of Wuhu Island biking, which is great, but. I didnt have Fit U nor a Fit Board.
Really wished nintendo would make a game where it's nothing but their past minigames. Really wanted to see the tableboard games from party u come to clubhouse games
I know these are supposed to be somewhat simple somewhat dumb fun for the most part… but these games were genuinely such a great entry point for many of my non-gaming friends or relatives I wanted to play games with. I feel like there’s a bit of a missed opportunity with ideas like these on the switch. I think I also just feel like my switch mii’s are too forgotten and never included in my switch fun
Yeah, they want us to forget about the Miis, so they try to hide them in settings. Since a lot of us had childhood memories of the Miis no matter how hard they try the Miis will refuse to die out.
I’m glad the original Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, and Wii Fit U count as 3 different types of Wii Fit games since there are different activities on all 3 of them.
Tbh I actually really loved wii music as a kid. I remember my dad bought it for me after I found it in the $5 bin, and while it was never as good as the other wii games, I had a lot of fun just messing around and making the worst sounding performances with my friends
Here’s the rankings for anyone trying to keep track: 1. Wii Sports Resort 2. Wii Fit U 3. Wii Sports 4. Wii Fit Plus 5. Wii Play 6. Wii Play Motion 7. Wii Fit 8. Wii Party 9. Wii Party U 10. Nintendo Switch Sports 11. Wii Sports Club 12. Wii Music 13. Wii Chess
It's wild to me how Scott doesn't remember that Wii Chess doesn't use Miis. I think he mixed up his criticism that it didn't use Miis with the game not using Miis to create a false memory. The game is just that boring.
33:06 THERE'S SNOW ON WUHU ISLAND NOW?!?! Okay now I wanna play Wii Fit U, Island Cycling on Wuhu Island in Wii Fit Plus was my childhood but if Wii Fit U added SNOW to it then now I really want to play it. I had no desire to 5 seconds ago but that snowy Wuhu Island has me sold now and I don't even have a Wii U. 🤣
Crazy to say I almost completely agree ur ranking! Although I never play Wii U before (I just skip it and play wii when I was young) And I love ur content Wii is my best childhood memory So keep it up I looking forward to ur new content 🫡

I would have made Wii Chess to be something like "Wii Board" in which you have other board games apart of chess, like ludo, jenga, "beer pong", card house, etc. Some of them would have been interesting just because you have to keep your pulse while using the Wii remote in order to play them, and others would let you to customize you pieces in the board (based on a comment done before this one). Anyway, this chess or board game mode had much more potential but it was critically wasted.
P.D. great work doing this ranking! It gave me some nostalgia vibes, thank you for that!
Wii Sports Resort is probably within the top 5 first-party Wii games, it's an incredible experience
My family and I ADORED Wii Party (the original) we played it every weekend and got so worked up over this silly little mii game. It was our wonderful tradition and I will always be nostalgic for it
every shot with the game boxes on the carpet and scott’s arms make me imagine that he’s just filming these while laying face down on the ground swinging his legs in the air
I love wii party so much it's just so nostalgic to me 😭 wii sports resort, wii sports, and wii fit are also all amazing
I play the shit out of Nintendo Switch Sports , I got it like a year and a half ago and still boot it up semi-regularly.
Its awesome. I think it got placed too low. I dont have friends who would ever want to play wii sports so the online-centric design really bumps it up for me.
It also gets me up and moving which is a big reason I play it.
i play wii party at least once a week, an absolute childhood staple of mine. i actually enjoyed wii music as well!
The switch sports avatars look like uncanny valley for animal crossing player characters. They have a similar vibe, same face shape, even the little red-orange triangle nose, but theyre just. Too detailed.
Forgetting about wii sports club is very fitting...
I wanna see theses on the main channel while we’re waiting for a main post this would be a nice sunrise
I genuinely loved Wii Music - I played it loads as a kid, and for some reason it was one of my go-to games when my friends came over
Weird to put Cooking Mama 3 as your #1 Wii Series game, but go off
I always loved the concept of Wuhu Island. I always wanted a free roam mode in Wii Sports Resort outside of only flying around the island.
After watching this video, I see that Wii Fit U has some kind of Wuhu Island biking, which is great, but. I didnt have Fit U nor a Fit Board.
Wii Sports Resort is such a banger. Wuhu Island is easily one of my favorite worlds in all of gaming
The golfing in Wii Sports Club is amazing. Genuinely one of the best golfing games on a home console... The Gamepad implementation is cool as hell
Wii Music was wildly fun and enjoyable when I was a kid and I will defend it with my life
Imagine Wii Chess like this: Miis in costumes and fighting in a cool fashion with additional mission modes
Or the pieces had the heads of miis on your system
Really wished nintendo would make a game where it's nothing but their past minigames. Really wanted to see the tableboard games from party u come to clubhouse games
I know these are supposed to be somewhat simple somewhat dumb fun for the most part… but these games were genuinely such a great entry point for many of my non-gaming friends or relatives I wanted to play games with. I feel like there’s a bit of a missed opportunity with ideas like these on the switch.
I think I also just feel like my switch mii’s are too forgotten and never included in my switch fun
Yeah, they want us to forget about the Miis, so they try to hide them in settings. Since a lot of us had childhood memories of the Miis no matter how hard they try the Miis will refuse to die out.
@@therealzhenplaz200I'm just glad that the 2 games I play the most on switch, miitopia and smash ultimate, utilize the miis pretty heavily.
That chess gameplay is so attrocious😭 losing against a rook and queen on lv2 is wild
Sports , play , and resort are all masterpieces .. yes play in it’s own right is a masterpiece lol
Party Too IMO
Ah, Wii Chess… Chess you can’t feel
i much prefer the format of the videos on this channel. the casualness makes it feel much more personal
I’m glad the original Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, and Wii Fit U count as 3 different types of Wii Fit games since there are different activities on all 3 of them.
I love the original Wii Sports, but it would not be fondly remembered if it wasn't a Wii pack-in.
My favorite Wii Games:
Wii Sports Resort
Wii Fit Plus
Wii Sports
Wii Party
Miitomo
...quietly in the back... I loved wii music🙊 awesome video again Scott :)
Tbh I actually really loved wii music as a kid. I remember my dad bought it for me after I found it in the $5 bin, and while it was never as good as the other wii games, I had a lot of fun just messing around and making the worst sounding performances with my friends
Always amazed by how much Scott's hands emote.
Wii Fit U changed lives
Wii Play Tanks didn’t have to be such an S-Tier mini game
I kinda want Nintendo’s next console to be another adaptation of the Wii, just so that they can make another “Wii” game without ruining the branding.
One of the biggest reasons that I don’t like NS sports is because they ruined the branding (imo) by renaming it to Nintendo Switch Sports instead
The original Wii Party is honestly amazing, The soundtrack is so good too
Some of my favorite memories with my Grandpa were when we were playing bowling together on the Wii.
Here’s the rankings for anyone trying to keep track:
1. Wii Sports Resort
2. Wii Fit U
3. Wii Sports
4. Wii Fit Plus
5. Wii Play
6. Wii Play Motion
7. Wii Fit
8. Wii Party
9. Wii Party U
10. Nintendo Switch Sports
11. Wii Sports Club
12. Wii Music
13. Wii Chess
Big fan of the "carpet-tier-lists" lmao
I'd consider Pilotwings Resort to be part of the Wii series as well.
It's wild to me how Scott doesn't remember that Wii Chess doesn't use Miis. I think he mixed up his criticism that it didn't use Miis with the game not using Miis to create a false memory.
The game is just that boring.
partially related but i feel that 1-2 switch or everybody 1-2 switch would make for great scott the woz episodes
Say what you will, but that physical copy of Wii Sports Club will be the most valuable one in the future.
Oh god I hope he reviews the entire Wii Series
Muy top three would be
1.wii sports
2.wii sports resort
3.wii fit
I'm convinced people who hate Wii Music never discovered the music sheets
"You just mash buttons!" THERE IS A GUIDE. THE RANDOM BUTTON MASHING IS THERE FOR *BABIES*
Miiverse Forever, I'll be waiting Everlasting like the sun...
33:06 THERE'S SNOW ON WUHU ISLAND NOW?!?! Okay now I wanna play Wii Fit U, Island Cycling on Wuhu Island in Wii Fit Plus was my childhood but if Wii Fit U added SNOW to it then now I really want to play it. I had no desire to 5 seconds ago but that snowy Wuhu Island has me sold now and I don't even have a Wii U. 🤣
If you ever think you're useless, just remember that Wii Chess exists.
wii party being so low PAINS ME but wii sports resort really deserved the first place .. i LOVED the sword minigame as a kid
even if wii play fishing is supposedly the worst of the bunch it helped me recover (played it in the psych ward)
I appreciate this video as someone trying to collect all of these
I love Wii music
Crazy to say I almost completely agree ur ranking! Although I never play Wii U before (I just skip it and play wii when I was young)
And I love ur content Wii is my best childhood memory
So keep it up I looking forward to ur new content 🫡
I am a proud Wii Chess and Wii Music owner and you cant take that away from me
