I swear Scott the Woz episodes are the most rewatchable thing on Earth
Fr tho lol
Except the Nintendo Switch "X" years in, because they age like fish dookie. You hear him say how in the Direct, Paper Mario Origami looks like it was a return to the original with also fresh new mechanics, but then it actually turned out to have the most lifeless bosses, generic NPCs and the new mechanic is weird and pointless. I'm not saying Scatt is to be blamed, I'm saying it's sad to know what future Scatt will be hit with. On that subject, I met 2035 Scatt in a dream, and he told me Nintendo finally got around to 60fps and 4k in 2032. Also, future Scatt is married to a hamster who is the first female president of Nintendo. Reggie Fils-Aime having been killed in-office by a rampaging mob of Pokemon fans who were fed up when, in 2025, EA released FIFA '21, after modding the players to look like Pokemons, and saying it was a brand new, non-soccer Pokemon AAA title.
Also, 2035 Scatt is WAY into RPGs, especially anime RPGs. They're practically all he plays.
After watching this video for the 9th time I realized that the reason my girlfriend left me is that I used the Gamecube controller in Dance Revolution unlike this dude named James who used the dance pad.
Damn...
maybe it’s cus you watch scott the woz videos 9 times.
@@stankinmybank I wouldn't marry a woman who hadn't watched any Scott the Woz videos at least 8 times.
@@ninjabluefyre3815 if you can't memorise his videos in one watch and watch them in your head then you're not a real virgin and should be ashamed
Mario's jump was a gimmick, one that went as far as to create an undying genre of games
You’re a gimmick!!
@@Link-ek3iw life is a gimmick. I mean if it weren't for that Big Bang Update we wouldnt have generations of gimmicks that MAKE more gimmicks.
this video (th-cam.com/video/jvGlA6B_OYc/w-d-xo.html) is a gimmick
@referral madness Pitfall invented the sidescroller in 1982, where the player is given a choice to move forward or backward and progress to the next screen at will. Donkey Kong came out in 1981, and involved platforming on the elevator stage.
@referral madness Yeah, pick axe pete was pretty cool. Space Panic was kinda like load runner.
I am the leader of the blowing into the mic club and I am very offended.
We don't have to listen to this bully, blowing into the mic will always be the best addition in games!!
Also my lungs hurt
@Just "funny joke"
Haha I bet I gotcha there
Should we stop at the Pitchfork Emporium??
I, for one, think that blowing into my 3ds is reminiscent of blowing into my SNES cartridges and it makes me happy 😊
Same
My 3ds mic broke
Man, that intro was incredible haha
Oh hey TetraBit.
Hello there
OMG TERRA BIT
The penis spaceship gets me every time XD
Why do you watch this shit
That Toys R Us joke was too soon Scott, too soon
Adamk Kampen RIP Toys R Us
RIP Jeffrey we’ll never forget you
Well... it turns out it certainly was a gimmick alright.
Degrox10 o wait they’re going back in business
You mean Toys Were Us?
i actually legitimately forgot that the 3DS had the whole 3D thing
onlyribbit The Nintendo S now without 3D
I forgot about the 3ds for like a year when I broke mine
It actually worked amazingly well in some games.
I've barely used the 3d on mine because I get headaches real easily and assumed that looking at 3d would just kill me.
@@KeybladeMasterAndy yeah but when your screen gets all smudged n shit after 20 minutes of owning it it sucks
"Remember, it's not a phase, it's a lifestyle"
"It was a phase"
This perfectly captures my emo/goth phase in early high school circa 2004. What can I say, it was popular at the time.
Hmm I'd be curious to know what music you were listening to at that time.
@@nickgarcia1292 My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, Simple Plan, Evanescence, Seether, New Found Glory, Jack Off Jill, Staind, all the angsty teenage bands of the early 00s.
Gosh, it's weird to imagine people being in high school 2004. That's the year I was born, and I know a lot of existentialism can come from the fact that older generations realize that time has passed, and I'm sure I'll get there eventually, but to me it feels so weird that there was a whole bunch of people here just living their lives before I was born.
@@tiktik-ks4pg yea for someone like you the 80s or 90s must seem ancient lol. The crazy thing is how little things change and how fast time goes. Like, when people say your a baby when your in hs are more spot on than you know. And it also makes just life seem rather short and fleeting. You go from a kid to an old person pretty quick so when people say enjoy your 20's they ain't messing around. I know personally that span of my life went by the fastest it felt
@@tiktik-ks4pg A lot of existentialism indeed my friend. If I think about it hard enough it feels like just yesterday I was 19ish like you. A lot of firsts were coming my way. Trying weed, drinking, getting laid, what a fun time the late teens/early twenties is.
You'll be 34 before you know it trust me. Then you get to enjoy the 20 year wave of nostalgia that comes around. MCR just released new music for the first time in ten years last month. Time to find the ol guy liner.
That intro was so well done, awesome work dude :)
I too love watching videos that open up to footage of an erect dick flying through space.
A+Start love your videos
What was he using for a screen and controller?
The controller is an NES arcade stick.
A+Start youre way better than Beta64
You don't even need to blow into the mic. You could scream and it would not know the difference.
Mario party ds was a nightmare with friends knowing this...
ok but I’m just imagining a bunch of children screaming directly into their ds’s mic’s and thats utterly hilarious
It's a mic after all.
I thought initially that the Wii U was literally a tablet add on to the Wii because I didn’t pay attention that much to the release of the console. Luckily I gave it a chance and it was one of the most fun and interesting consoles I’ve used. At least Nintendo is trying new things. And it brought about the Switch so I can’t be mad.
I loved my WiiU
The Wii U is an okay system with a great library of games.
It's too bad so few games used the second screen... at all, really, let alone effectively.
I liked the wiiu, too. I'm one of the only people who thinks so out of my friends. The only title everyone agrees on is really good and makes good use of the second screen is splatoon. I have the second one for the switch and I just feel like something is missing...
I agree with all of that, if only the gamepad was optional and it was marketed right
The dream of the Wii U is alive in the Switch. There's rumors of a docked only Switch Pro model and as the platform ages the number of multi-switch households will only grow. I could definitely see dual screen gaming being emphasized in the future of the switch.
I remember playing Donkey Kong Jungle Beat as a kid and my hands started to literally bleed. Good times.
Now this adds a whole new meaning to "What if you're playing Xbox 360, and your hands start to bleed"
You have the same thing Scott does!
Too much Donkey Kong will do that to a person
Did you use bongos that had spikes on top?
@@appleboy5878 What???
Tell Nathaniel Bandy that "blowing into the microphone isn't great" he'll come at you.
I will honestly never understand why he likes MKDS more than MK Wii, except for the Mission Mode, drifting mechanics, and Battle Mode.
I think I just listed the reasons why he likes MKDS more than MK Wii
every fucking time
**I lean away from the mic to breathe in
Scott might as well tell him that he likes Pink Gold Peach
IT'S NOT MELEE

seriously, you earned my respect
god has entered te live chat
It knows you're asserting dominance
I’ve literally just shown my leg and the same thing happened to me
same thing with: standing still, doing random crap and putting the box art for minecraft in front of the camera
sometimes if u do it in a large group, it'll somehow detect people that arent even moving and they end up getting better scores than people actually dancing
It still bums me out that the Wii U wasn’t as loved by others as I loved it. The Gamepad was great for when my dad didn’t want to give up the tv. I could still play my games via the Gamepad and a pair of headphones. I could also play it at the kitchen table when I was supposed to be doing homework lol
Same
Mine died after a week of not touching it so I don't really have an opinion anymore
Or you could get a 3ds which had more than 5 good games
Dude I did the same thing when I was younger XD
Though my gamepad's old and broken now and it barely lasts 10 minutes off a charge. Damn Nintendo for never reselling that thing.
I think the switch does that better

Unless you’re Nintendo.
Broshi lol
Nintendo do love gimmicks however with the switch i think they did really well,they got the right balance.
Also
Blowing on the ds was so annoying i felt werid in public m
sunsbookishgamesx well every ds before the 3ds has i guess a bug were if you hold your finger on the mic it reacts like you are blowing like a hurricane. I used that to beat everyone at mario party years ago
I already do it to blow off dust from the screen, so it wasn't too weird for me.
I rather blow a Nintendo cartridge than blowing a 3DS
I don't think that holding your finger on the DS mic is as much of a glitch as how it detects the sound.
I cut them a lot of shit cause that saved the industry but too much of something is as beneficial as it can be detrimental
5:40 It actually happened. Ring Fit Adventure.
haha fr
Toys R Us closed because it lost money
*When gimmicks go too far*
Simon Chuo WAIT WHAT I DIDNT KNOW THAT
@@hobeypeterson628 rly?
Alolan Pikachu no I’m joking haha
When even children took a look at 99% of toys, compared it to their computers, phones and tablet and thought: damn toys are lame, they just gimmicks. I don't blame kids either, most toys have a few minutes of novelty then they get boring. But in a world before the internet or even video games, that was pretty much the only thing that was fun for kids.
@@cattysplat *cough cough* reading. *cough cough*
HEY! As a representative of the prestigious Blowing Into the Mic Patrol™ community fan club, I have to say.....it was never a good idea. Kill it.
As a representative on a video that was published basically a year ago. Nintendo labo set 4 VR kit has a blow into the mic and a wind petal.
They didn't kill It I need your help.
Don’t care
@@benjamingoodman2775 got it.
Traitor
Actually, the Power Glove was supposed to be good! Prototype versions were better than the final product and used far more advanced technology, however it would’ve costed thousands of dollars. So they cheapened it down and used more primitive technology, which eventually led to the Power Glove we know and hate today.
Too bad they were just jerking off
No ur just wrong
The more advanced gloves u mention were out there, but Nintendo didn't plan to use them as a baseline, because the power glove wasn't made by Nintendo it was made by Mattel, who bought the writes to use the concept from the creator of the Z-Glove... neither Nintendo or Mattel had a plan to produce anything other than what they produced. And while it wasn't a critical success, it was definitely a commercial success. With e production cost of around $23 million, after a VERY successful launch, they made upwards of $60 million.
“Love”
@@noahramos1768 Well you're wrong four times. One, the designer had the only gloves - there weren't more "out there". Two. Rights, not writes. Three, Dataglove, not Z-Glove, which is a compression sports clothing company. Four, it grossed $90, not $60, nearly a 50% increase according to How Stuff Works. So in short, you unreliable and cannot be trusted to even double check Google before commenting.
No bad gimmicks for this guy, thank you very much
*distant e-reader noises*
*link cable intensifies*
*yoshi topsy turvy appears*
Let's be honest, the Link Cable was more of a solution to get around a technical limitation of the time to allow multiplayer, and usually not intrusive. (Unless it was needed for 100% completion)
Well, you kinda, maybe, possibly, started the Apple gimmick of not including headphone jacks...
+Rot Z
That’s not a gimmick tho
@@realvivifromloona no it's just plain awful.
@@realvivifromloona love me some anecdotal evidence to disprove my intellectually made statements founded on facts.

Scott predicted ring fit adventure with the Wii vitality sensor
Thank you for acknowledging that gimmicks can go good. The D-pad, the rumble pack, the touch screen can all be technically described as gimmicks.
What about the PS Vita's weird touch screen back?
Shhhh we don't acknowledge that
im pretty sure only 8 1/2 people bought the vita
I think the PS4 proves that a touchpad can be a valuable addition to a controller.
The vitas is okay, but feels weird when playing a game that's not Tearaway.
@@AJ_593 the PlayStation 4 touchpad is actually pretty nice sometimes.
The Vita is an amazing system and now that it's recently been fully cracked the homebrew scene is hot. If Sony won't support it then the fans will.
i saw the toys r us and i was like “wtf that looks familiar.” then i realized that you’re from toledo and i was like “ha, that’s pretty cool”
Do you know why the city is called Toledo? There's a city called just like that in my country, Spain. But as far as I know there weren't any Spanish colonies that up North in America
@@jmiquelmb Might be because of contact between settlers from different countries.
@Rebuild of Eva is shit watch the original instead basically someone called Santa Anna existed and... the rest is history
@@jmiquelmb bruh, there's a Paris, Texas. I don't think there's much of a reason
@@jaiye_ In Kentucky, we have Paris, Versailles, Glasgow, Le Grange, Lebanon and probably more. Most of them are fairly small but towns like Glasgow, Versailles, and Lebanon are fairly large compared to most of the towns they are around.
I remember having to blow into the mic to get more balloons in Mario Kart DS, whenever we'd have battles on the bus I didn't want to look stupid by blowing at my DS like the other kids so I just screamed at the top of my lungs and it inflated the balloons for everyone at once.
Dude I can’t fathom how you get sleep when you pump out one of these a week. The fantastic intros and outros, the excellent and funny writing, and the factual and opinionated meat of the video is just incredible.
Take a drink every time Scott says “GIMMICK”
You would be dead ☠
"FUCKBARN?" The hell...?

10:03, I love the work you put into making the abbreviation, "fuckbarfs"

But Scott, you are a gimmick that was taken too far.
Hey all, gimmick here
Chuy Lunatic cool pic! It's both a :) and a :( !
Isn't the human race just a gimmick of nature? Something new that adds to the gameplay but ultimately detracts, easy to get sick of and eventually dies out.
damn AzureRathalos got me depressed. And just as I was about to comment about how my favorite gimick was Scotts e3 leg slaps. I'll probably never be that same care free person ever again.

Scott: "The Wii versions of Pikmin 1 and 2 play better"
Pikmin elitists: "It's true but he shouldn't say it!"
this is literally the "He's out of line, but he's right" meme from falcon & the winter soldier but before the show even came out
@@Neobot21 well I was quoting The Simpsons. The "he's out of line, but he's right" meme has existed just in several variations. Some other examples would be "how could you say something so controversial yet so brave?" or "Well yes, but actually no" or "Why are you booing me? I'm right."
pikmin elitists exist?

Star Fox Zero immediately came to mind.
NumberOne#1 That game could've been just if they used gyro assisted aiming as a option only
I played it and I couldn't get into it. I moved my room around and started using a computer chair to play. I had more room and be able to rotate because of the chair, made it easier to play. I didn't mind the motion controls. I still wish they gave you the option, though.
NumberOne#1 and don't forget 1-2-Switch
Super fun in co-op / Unplayable in singleplayer.
Big Z the gyro aiming wasn’t the issue with StarFox Zero, it was the lame dual screen gameplay that really complicated things just make an excuse to use the Wii U pad. I’m still hoping they port it to the switch with “normal” controls, the option for gyro aiming, vs mode, more unlockables, remove that other pack-in game and sell it for $39
4:28
Scott: I like the Wii!
Subtitles: Yeah that was definitely weed
Donkey Konga was the OG guitar hero, I loved it on the game cube and it made me so happy
About the whole Wii Wheel thing, I admit that it’s extremely hard to play without it personally, not because of immersion or anything, it’s mainly because the B button was WAY easier to press because it was huge, not to mention the wheel kind of made it easier to hold, but that’s probably just because I have bigger hands.
I think the gimmick that most surprised me was the wii's motion tracking. As a 12 year old kid, I was shocked by how much fun the bundled wii sports game was with a new way to interact with a console. I remember my dad playing the bowling game with me, and even seeing grown businessmen go out an buy a wii just to have a little fun with those games. Nintendo takes a lot of risks, and some of them aren't really ready given the technology available at the time, but it also means that I've never felt like I've outgrown their games despite over 15 years flying by from my first gameboy. Keep it up, Nintendo!
The working nerf gun for the Wii nerf game was an incredible gimmick tbh. I loved it when I was younger
Me: has wii in room 2019, oh crap.
...
They removed Netflix
My Wii has been demoted to "skinny gamecube". Mostly because my wiimotes are going bad.

@@calambres6614 no they're not
Luis Rodriguez found the Sony Son.
I have a Wii and a WiiU right next to each other, and would sync a wiimote between them multiple times. It basically destroyed it from the inside out.
The opening is X-rated. Watch out kids.

I watched it **evil laugh**
I just realized the beginning of the video was a gimmik😮
because of the jackass game wii music
Mobula 282 lol!
2:56 To be fair, the original famicom had a microphone in the controller. They took it out when they made it the NES for America. You could kill Pol's Voice in Zelda 1 by yelling (or blowing) into the microphone. So, this particular gimmick was more or less a classic thing.
I really like the old sci-fi opening really creative and fun. Just shows how Scott puts in the extra effort to make his videos unique and stylized.
Your videos have always been great but the production is getting better and better in editing and everything. So happy to see this channel grow. Keep it up, Scott!

The Wii U gamepad is actually really cool for Call of Duty games because you can play local multiplayer with one person on the tv and one person with their own screen it's sooo nice tbh

5:42 words marked, ring fit adventure has this. Good shit Mr wozstradamus
I loved blowing the clouds away in Yoshi Touch and Go.
Anyone who isn't Nintendo better not touch gimmicks
_Sixaxis_
Pretty much
Nintendo made the Virtual Boy
Generic Random Guy on the Internet And the Wii U Ggamepad.
They aren't perfect, sure, but they're certainly better than the other companies.
I actually quite liked the second screen in Star Fox Zero. Or at least, I liked the game in multiplayer. In multiplayer one player control the TV and flies the Arwing, and player 2 uses the gamepad to aim and fire. It was great fun to play with my brother that way.
Just Another TH-cam Channel the multiplayer is good because of that, but imagine having to do both jobs simultaneously, and you get the single player experience. It’s annoying to constantly have to look down at the screen and not be able to see incoming attacks, which is why the 2 player is so much better
Sajan Patel Honestly I played in 1 player as well, but I don’t really remember it. I don’t remember it being bad, but I don’t remember it being as good as the 2 player. The thing is though, I played far more multiplayer with my brother which is probably why I remembered it more. I can easily see why both jobs at once would be awful though.
How many times are you going to comment on the same video?
1:04 “they should do these sales more often”
