Update: To those asking: Why 2025? This video is just a *joke skit* about what would happen if you’d play DVD’s on your Wii in the future (Yes, this video will age like milk) While I have no idea how this video is doing so well, thank you all for 60K+ views!
Its actually possible to play dvds with a wii on older disc drives (well you cant watch them.). However, on newer ones its rendered impossible to play without homebrew tools.
Hit era Thomas and Wii were both HUGE parts of my childhood seeing both of them in this video is like nostalgic bread and butter (VERY 2000's I love it)
It's one thing to go after someone for unethical use of your characters in their works. It's another to go after someone for using a modded discontinued console to watch DVDs of their favorite show.
PLEASE NOTE: If you want to do this, your Wii must be a early launch model, any model after launch (Black wiis + new white wiis, Wii family edition, wii mini and Wii U.) will not work.
I reckon a few Thomas fans might have had their attention grabbed by that DVD. I know I was, otherwise I wouldn’t have posted this comment. 😂 Edit: Jesus how did my comment explode
I will mention that it isn't recommended to do this because the disc drive wasn't designed with this in mind, and it will make it wear out a lot faster. It's also only possible on disc drives made before 2008.
"and if there's a way, heavy consequences will be met" nintendo is fully aware of how much the homebrew community has done to the wii and they don't seem happy for it 😂
How I LL get my Wii done to play dvd I have homebrew Channel > from there I installed the homebrew browser > and from there I installed the same player as in the video but it did not play the DVD's
Gotta love Thomas The Tank Engine! It was one of my childhood favorites as a kid. 😍 But, gotta admit, the show did start to go downhill when they stopped using scale models.
you probably havent joined the fandom so... season 9 was the real downfall of ttte because of the childish writing that wouldn't be fixed until season 17. then there was another downfall after the great race.
To be perfectly honest, this is actually probably one of the better uses of the Nintendo. We know I think the console has lost its charm as a console a long time ago and a lot of the good games for this is available on the Nintendo switch and Work better on the switch.
I never knew this was ACTUALLY possible for the Wii to do lol I always thought it was a hoax when people told me they can get DVD working on Wii. Gonna have to put this on my Wii now
Funny video, but for anyone trying to replicate this video keep this in mind: The only Wii models that can handle DVD and CD playback are any Wii that has gamecube ports. The Wii Mini, for example, cannot play optical media besides Wii discs. This is because Nintendo didn't want anyone to make copies or use copies of pirated Wii games. If you do try to use a DVD and it doesn't work on your Wii, DONT KEEP TRYING TO PLAY A DVD! Continuing to play optical media on the Wii could damage the disc drive, since traditional optical media is read a lot faster than typical Wii games. In all seriousness, I do wish Nintendo kept the ability to play movies and CD media on the Wii. It's very convenient to use, especially if you're an 90s - 00s guy like me who still has stacks upon stacks of old movies in DVD.
I may wanna try this out but I wonder if the Wii is region locked, like if my one is only PAL. There could be a chance it's like an external disc drive where it can play any disc from any region.

You 're an absolute chad for using a Thomas dvd.
Especially one with the models.

Dvd playback not supported on this wii
I never knew this was ACTUALLY possible for the Wii to do lol I always thought it was a hoax when people told me they can get DVD working on Wii. Gonna have to put this on my Wii now
In 2025? Lets goo.
The Wii and Thomas were two huge parts of my childhood
the wii was originally meant too play dvds but that feature went unused it can be reactivated by hacking though
I miss the Wii
Me too (༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ)
He's from the future
This is not 2025 when this was uploaded, but he makes it seem funny..
He only wanted to watch the greatest stories
You can actually play DVDs on a Wii via a home brew application, and the best part, you don’t even have to open up your system for it to work!
0:33 I hate that the Wii is set to 4:3 and it’s stretched on that TV
Well It’s 2025 now.
NOW THAT DVD GRABBED MY ATTENTION ALRIGHT!
Don't worry about the ningas, they're having just as much fun too

And if they kept the ability for physical media to be played on the Wii, they might have also added Blu-ray playback on the Wii U
@@carloso5910official Yes! Imagine an alternate timeline where we could watch Oppenheimer on Wii U?
0:15, well its time to speedrun modding a wii.
When i saw homebrew channel, I knew it was all over.
Epic
I remember watching that same exact dvd when I was 4 at my grandmas house
Wii is Upgraded to dvd homebrew Is the wallpaper Turn on blue player The dvds At home?
Sorry to disappoint, but the years now 2025. You posted this two years ago and it would've been 2023
Thomas the Tank Engine was my childhood so you persuaded me with that thumbnail 👍
I think playing DVDs on wii isn’t true anymore just use dvd player
THIS IS NOT A JOKE ANYMORE
My man time traveled
one time, i put the Polar Express in my Wii by mistake. 🤣
We got Wii disc predictions before G-
its 2025, im going to test if this works, i dont want to buy a dvd player
Thomas & Friends is my serie favorite and i have WII
bro chill with that dvd insertion 😭😭
How about you do can you play DVDs for PS5
He only wanted to watch engine friends
Nice video
Friendly fire will not be tolerated.
1 year ahead
Ese sonido de la wii cuando la prendes me da memorias :(
2025 is a future year
2025 in 2022 ?

The Wii is region locked
@@carloso5910official aww phooey
It's 2024 yet. 2025 doesn't start until next year.
Caught by the Nintendo Ninjas.
It’s all fun and games until you see “The system files are corrupted”
I didn't know you could do that. I would try it since my wii is already hacked, but I don't own any dvds
now its new years eve in 2024, wow time flies fast... like milk
what is that sleeve with the nintendo logo holding a gun?
Yoshi's island vs beauty and the beast
Dude, it’s so cool
Is this a video from the future?!
Well duh
I tried it once, it didn’t break my movie, but it didn’t play it either.
side note this can and will ruin your wii's disc drive so don't actually do this
As a linux user who can't get the damn cd drive to work, I'm just gonna use my wii, from now on.
I swear I remember watching DVDs on Wii as a kid. False memory I guess.
Maybe you watched Netflix on the Wii and got confused?
Homebrew😓 I thought this was gonna be real
Nintendo is gonna be at your doorstep
Ok Nintendo We Want A New Console That Plays Full Scale Games On Disc Again and It Plays DVD and Blu Ray Disc
I can already smell the Thomas fans coming.
Doing anything right now on 2025 is amazing 👏
Ah yes it is 2025
Not Yet!
