Are there any Wii launch titles that stick out to you? We'll be tackling either the Sega Dreamcast next, with the PS1 ON THE HORIZON.
More of these videos, great to watch.
Review my Dragon Ball games lol
I never had a Wii - wasn't particularly sold on the motion controls thing. But a housemate got one and, yeah, Wii sports was awesome. I think I figured out that the golf was much easier sitting down waving your arm back and forth instead of pretending you're holding a golf club.. oh and I remember I somehow managed to screw up my elbow playing Wii tennis.
Also YAY Dreamcast! Got mine on launch day in the UK - don't think we got Soul Calibur as a launch title here IIRC?
That second sentence doesn't make much sense guys. You said either, but there was only one option. Is it definitely the Dreamcast, or are you saying either Dreamcast or Ps1? Still love you though!
This is such a good series. Thanks Ben.
Not just any sports time.
HERE WE GO, WII SPORTS TIME.
Here WII go, sports time. 🤔
@@russiangravy3870 I've read TH-cam comments before, but I've never written a TH-cam comment, so I'm going to give this EVERYTHING I've got.
@@russiangravy3870 again
Ben this is such an outstanding series. Iove the concept and presentation. On to a winner here lads.
We just need more consoles for him to cover!
Hunter Green for real. I am looking forward to every episode of this series
Same. Have always loved stuff like this, I'm not sure how to detail it but another thing that falls under the category is for example on a "whodunit"episode of a tv show where they go through and give each characters perspective. I'm not sure what it is about list/order based promises but I've always loved it.
Completely agree! I was won over from the opening joke. 😂
He’s gonna do it for next gen you heard it here first
As average as Red Steel ended up being, there was something magical about turning the Wiimote to the side and having you character in game turn his gun the same way. That was a ‘wow’ moment for me on launch day.
"Anything you want, birthday boy"
The wii is top 3 consoles ever man it was so good
I lost my mind when the Wiimote became a sword
It's a shame the first game got so much hate.
Not because it was secretly amazing or anything. Simply because- by all accounts- the sequel _was_ a lot better, and the devs really seemed to put in the effort for it, judging from all the previews/interviews.
As a concept, it's something that deserved to flourish into a genre. Hell, if things were different, VR may have evolved even faster.
i only got the sequel, but I remember red steel II being a lot of fun. i don't remember any major control issues, but it was like 10+ years ago for me.
OH YEAH HERE WE GO WII SPORTS TIME
I can't believe Ben had never heard of Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.
It’s an American cartoon
@@pistachiodisguisey911 okay and? I've heard of plenty of cartoons from other countries and I'm not from there.
@@Viper505repiV1 Was probably older than the target demographic when the show was popular too, gud show though
@@pistachiodisguisey911 actually I think. Ben is roughly the same age as me and I'm 28. But yeah it's a great show he should definitely give it a watch.
Oh Yeah Here We Go Wii Sports Time!!!
"Here Wii go...sports time!"
Genius.
“Oh yeah, here we go sports time” needs to be a t shirt
I need this in my life
An excellent sports attire for any game!
Would 200% buy this shirt (I'd buy two)
I've started to say this out loud when I have to do something physically demanding!
I'd probably buy that shirt and I don't usually buy shirts
I love that he called Raditz "Receding hairline Goku"
OH YEAH, HERE WE GO, SPORTS TIME!
How can you mess this meme up
The most underrated game on the Wii was Red Steel 2. Mannn with motion plus that was some amazing sword fighting game. Really wish it got more recognition.
I can’t imagine what it was like to get a new wii and the first game you play is Twilight princess, that game was absolutely epic
That was me. It was also my first zelda game....good times
I didn’t like twilight princess.
JB I’ve heard a couple people say they didn’t actually, was it because of the darker tone?
Shaun Kennedy No I don’t mind a darker tone. The game just bored the hell out of me and the pacing is god awful in my opinion. Zelda is one of my favorite game series and has been in my childhood and adulthood but twilight princess is the worst Zelda game I’ve played.
Twilight Princess was the only launch title that I picked up and I definitely wasn't disappointed. I'll always remember the novelty of aiming the bow for the first time. Great game.
Give me more of these friggin launch line up lists. I love them so much, I wet myself at night
...yeah that's the reason I do that too
Same
Twilight Princess was one of the best games ever made, incredible launch title
It really is
I play it on my wii U and gamecubd All the time, one of the best Zelda games!
it’s so good
Correction
Twilight princess IS one of the best games ever made
Lol
You had never heard of Billy & Mandy? I don't think I can trust you anymore..
Speaking of CN shows he forgot Ben 10 too
Ben 10 is a classic! Love the original show
@@littlegloom hell yes I prefer the original and omniverse
he is probably same age as me (38) i assume we didn't watched those things when they aired
@@Zontar82 I realized he said launch titles meaning when the Wii first came out. So that's probably why he didnt say anything about them
Twilight Princess was my first Zelda game, and still the only one I've played aside from Breath of the wild. I miss Midna.
Literally bought a wii for skyward sword and twilight princess lol
Get on Zelda Link to the Past. Its available for "free" on your SNES App for Switch if you're subscribed to their $20 a-year online service. It's so worth it and the game every Zelda game before BotW was based on.
@matt fahringer Link to the past is poop? I’m afraid your tastebuds are poop. If you’ve ever liked a Zelda game post-1992 you have LttP to thank for.
I hate to admit it...hearing the Wii Sports nearly had me in tears.
Every episode you can make a drinking game out of how many times he says "oh yeah here we go sports time!"
8:20 I died laughing lmfao the way it's presented makes it look like someone's trying to mug those penguins at gunpoint 🤣
lol i thought the same thing
I live for the Simon Miller impersonations
And that's ok 👌
Read this comment in a simon miller voice for full effect
It gets an up!
Why?
*bashes own head in*
Here’s why.
Twilight Princess is best played on GameCube for sure! Although I didn't mind the Wii controls too much. Probably quite well known but the Wii version's world is completely mirrored from the GameCube version. This is because more people are right handed whereas Link is usually left handed....so they mirrored the whole world!
Wii Sports is generally so much fun, I think the golf was my favourite.
@Guy Dude Lol, no not at all. Ha, I honestly never realised he was in those too. Skyward Sword makes sense I guess but I must have not paid enough attention in Breath of the Wild. I love them all!
@Guy Dude Oh no lol, I have no problem at all with it. Very weird thing to bash them for ha
I genuinely like Skyward Sword a bunch :) Actually been really wanting to play it again as it has been a while.
I loved the Wii, it really helped me and my sisters bond playing Wii sports, just dance, and Mario kart haha. I feel like consoles are now focused on just one person using them at a time
21:00
I think it's a great start. It's something really mundane but it clearly excites Link which sets the mood of how quint the village is. Many say it's aged poorly but I strongly disagree. A lot of the animations are still really great and the atmosphere is as powerful and eerie as it has ever been.
When I played TP as a teenager I actually liked how it started off so small. It made me feel so much more mature that the game trusted me to have it start out very natural. I felt a connection with Ordon village that I never felt for any location in OOT.
The last part of that Tony Hawks clip at 21:58 is a Simpsons reference, it's from when Homer sets up the vigilante group.
It's either a direct reference or complete plagiarism and I'm not sure which.
This really is the best video of Ben having a Wii!
Cars is actually pretty great, but I only used the nunchuck
Cars was a decent part of my childhood
It’s literally my favorite animated movie, alongside How To Train Your Dragon.
That joke in the Tony Hawk game is almost a word for word rip off from Homer the Vigilante.
Glad I wasn’t the only one to notice that.
Which one? Can I get a timestamp please?
Dude I literally found ur videos like 2 days ago and this series is so freaking good I can’t stop watching them haha keep it up man
With each new video intro you seem more and more deranged, Ben!
Love this series, very creative intros and it's fun to walk down memory lane again :D
This series is probably my favourite thing on youtube. I love you guys and girls at triple jump so much! Keep up the amazing work!
This series is so amazing it deserves so much more attention
This series is just too good, the quality is off the roof.
Your intros are awesome, this is quickly turning into one of my favorite channels
Really enjoying your launch line up videos! All your content is great, actually - only discovered your channel recently.
While I don't feel like emulation really does justice to how bad (or at least, jaggy) some of the games looked on the original hardware, I get that there are probably practical issues with actually capturing some of this stuff.
These games are definitely being emulated from a pc. No jagged edges at all. That's not how I remember the Wii. Lol
Really enjoy these videos guys. Appreciate the effort and time they must take.
Right now, Mr. Hawk is jammin' with Little Lungs.
"Aw...(pant, pant)...my little lungs! They can't keep up!"
Love this series. So glad I found your channel today! Cheers!
Wii Sports, CFTKK, and Cars were my childhood.
Red Steel 2 makes up for the first wonky one. RS 2 is actually pretty amazing.
Was gonna say, first time seeing RS1...what a departure with the second.
I thought the first one was on OK FPS with a sword gimmick that was cool for the first few times, but once the novelty wore off, yeah, the sword play in the first one was awful. I think RS2 was one of the best games on the system, and maybe the very best example of motion controls of any Wii game.
Really superb stuff lads, from Melbourne! Hope you start getting the views and subscribers you deserve.
This is the one I've been waiting for...
I totally missed out in the wii era. I bought a wiiu recently with mario galaxy, LOZ twilight princess, kirby's epic yarn, punch out, and mad world. Great game.
Shouodve gotten a switch all of those games will be on the switch eventually
@@StevePlaysSteveplaysyotube I did
@@wackyjacky7259 Noice just got the wii as an extra might tdo the same:)
I love this series. Hilarious and fun to watch
i just found your channel and i genuinely love it! keep up the good work mate!
Let’s do a playing every 3ds or ds launch titles!
This is starting to become my favorite series on the channel
Great job! You made me want to play every game on my wii.
That's bad.
My collection includes Barbie Fashion World Tour and Disney Princess Adventures.
Excite Truck was one of the best arcade racers ever. Also the sequel Excite Bots kicked ass. Those were the days
I love this series and "Oh yeah! Here we go! Sports Time!" is my new favorite TH-cam quote.
I missed your voice overs on what culture, brilliant to see the content here. Very excited to watch the videos. Fair play mate.
Wii Sports: the highest selling game in history. Yes, even beating out another Nintendo legend: Super Mario Bros. for the NES.
I just realised the PS5 is releasing on the Wii’s 14th birthday (UK)
I LOVE this series. Thanks Ben!
Dude, Excite Truck is still one of my favorite games. I'll play that any day before TP or Wii Sports.
25:05 had me rolling! Nice videos, I love the launch title videos
This is the funniest one you've done so far, laughed out loud for most of it
*Notices midget club*
"Hang on, I don't think that's okay"
Man, I miss Wii Sports all of the sudden.
Who knew there were so many Wii launch titles?!
I loved the video game version of Cars.
I really like the series of launch titles in 2020 fun idea.
I love these videos. Thank you for making them
Oh man, I have such fun memories of playing Twilight Princess and just riding around Hyrule Field shooting random stuff with the bow and arrow
Dude, these videos are so good, you gotta do one on the 3DS!
You earned my sub on the last xbox360 video.This is content you need yet you didn't search for.
These videos are great. GameCube next?
Loving your content! Keep up the excellent work :)
Yessss the serie is backk
I didn't even watch the video yet, but I'm here for "here we go! Sports time!"
I actually really loved Red Steel. Once you had a handle on the controls, it was so cool!
Worth noting that the pixar cars game has two whole other sections of the map to unlock and has a lot of hidden platforming areas that make it a really strange game considering you can make the cars jump to collect hidden extra point things
That game and the avatar game were just remasters,but your better off playing the originals
Love this series guys!
7:14 Good BEST OF BEST Issue of Good improves a Lot The Wii & The Game.🎉
Loved the Wii! Mario Cart was almost as good as Wii Sports. I honestly can’t remember any of the other games I owned though...
21:56 “And as for your grandma, she shouldn’t have mouthed off like that”. Stealing jokes word for word from The Simpsons. Classy.
It'd be nice to see something like a Wii motion plus launch games!
Great work tho
that intro was amazing
Gt pro series was my very first console racing experience. I genuinely genuinely enjoyed that game a lot.
Haha I clicked my wrist around in Wii sports tennis cutscenes too, that was the best fun.
I wish it was played in the original hardware because those graphics are too nice for Wii. It was way worse especially if you still had a CRT like many in 2005.
Since Wii Sports and Zelda TP (and to a lesser extent Trauma Center) was all I ever cared about the Wii's launch lineup I'd completely forgotten how full of shovelware it was already! A perfect example of quantity over quality.
10:43 "I'm fairly sure they just killed a guy" 😂😂😂 best game intro ever
I think I’ve played 4 of those. Zelda, excite truck, racing rabbits and, of course, Wii Sports.
yall did the cars game dirty 😔
This channel needs more subs doe ngl
Subtitles.
Intro: The
This made me laugh much more than it had any right to
how DARE people give cars a 65, that game is fire
I wanna imagine his reaction to Disgaea 3 when he goes to play all Vita launch titles
Great game.
Not a US launch title but great game.
Receding Hairline Goku is the “why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?” Of this video
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (we had it on GameCube) was so fun to play with my brother when I was a kid, but you definitely need to like the show to enjoy it
Wii Sports and Twilight Princess were really carrying that launch lol
Still playing this beauty of a console , i love it , i modded it to use the full potential of this console
Love this series.
I got my Wii with Zelda und Red Steel at launch and loved both games.
Just bought it a few days ago and man I can't believe it's 14 years old already.
Wii sports was my childhood. Bloody hell.
Oh yeah another launch games epi!!
