We've just updated the Evolution of Nintendo video, now featuring all the most epic Nintendo franchises like Mario and Pokemon! Click here to watch the new version: th-cam.com/video/tcksOBOwf38/w-d-xo.htmlsi=arOZbR9CDkyvCG7q
Let's not deny this, guys: Despite the Wii U being a huge commercial failure, it had a great library of games. It's a huge shame the console itself didn't do very well.
I honestly feel like a big reason was their decision to name it the Wii U. I had no idea the Wii U was a separate console, I just thought it was like a pro version of the Wii
One day, we will look at super smash bros ultimate and say "those were the days." Hard to imagine video games being more advanced and detailed than they are today
Fun fact: Mario was formerly named Mr. Video, as he was a video game character. Miyamoto renamed Mr. Video, Jumpman, due to the fact that he jumps a lot. While shipping Donkey Kong to a ware house in America, the landlord is named Mario Segale. Miyamoto named Jumpman Mario, saying: “I thought that Mario is a good name.”
The fact that Nintendo is over 100 years old is amazing, from simple playing cards to the most nostolgic games. Only 1880s kids remember the playing cards
Glad Nintendo is still fighting in the console bussiness despite their ups and downs over the years! The gaming world is benefited so much with Nintendo in than without.
Nintendo has had so many downs because they are not afraid to experiment, unlike Xbox and Playstation. Xbox and Playstation are popular consoles because they stick with what they know has worked before and heavily improve on it more and more. Nintendo just takes a different approach than them where they constantly try new things they've never tried before, no matter the risk of it completely failing, out of curiosity. I say go for Xbox or Playstation if you want a console that is a good console by purely objective standards, and go for Nintendo if you want a console that is unique and has ups and downs to it that no other console has. I trust Xbox and Playstation if I want the best when it comes to measurable standards (frame rate, memory, graphics, security, etc.) and I trust Nintendo if I want a unique and innovative experience other consoles cannot give me, like handheld consoles.
The D-pad, motion control, wireless controllers, detachable joycons... Its very clear that Nintendo is not afraid to push the limits of gaming... Can't wait to see what the come up with next, flop or not
@@jakobwedel3168 Nintendo does try to improve consoles, they improved the game boy, Nintendo ds etc. and they also improved the Nintendo switch with an oled model.
The GameCube is still my favorite console of all time,Luigi’s mansion,double dash,Super Mario Sunshine are classics,and they have such a nostalgic feel to them.The 3DS is my favorite handheld console,the 3D effects add so much detail and has so much fun games on it.Also the Wii-U is really good,with games like Nintendo land,Splatoon and New super Mario bros U,and the graphics were a major improvement.
@@Lucas-mi2tt What are you five? TH-cam says you have to be 16 to be on TH-cam and you can go on TH-cam in 13 with the request of your parents so unless your dumb I have no idea what your talking about.
No matter how things turn out in the gaming industry and even if Nintendo Flops here and there, it will still always be my favorite video game company. While the rest of the gaming world worries about super realistic graphics and everything Nintendo is still at the root of what made it great to begin with and I will take that over the rest any day.
The Wii U may have done poorly but it had some great features. The gamepad allowed you to still continue your game even if someone else is using the TV, and that was enough of a selling point for little me
@Carver Ze Derp I had assumed that there would be a DS/3DS slot on the system or add on like the Super Gameboy but they never took advantage of both their products that dual screens. Meanwhile, homebrew hacks make that possible. Marketing for the Wii U was horrible, but Im one to believe that if the Wii U had DS functionality, the Wii U would have sold many being that the DS/3DS had such a high install base. Even with some households having 2 or more DS/3DS handhelds. Definitely wasted potential, though I loved the system. Though I like my Switch as well, it came out way to early.
I never ask my dad for buying WiiU. Because Mobile Game dominating Gaming. Until I'm buying Switch with my effort at least 2-3 month (I buying Animal Crossings edition because prefer to Pastel Mint & Pastel Blue JoyCon, I never buy Tsum Tsum Party Edition because "Too Bright" JoyCon color than Pastel like Lavender & Pastel Pink)
I’m pretty sure, since it’s a hand held device. It may have sparked or inspired the hand held model of the Nintendo switch. This is just a theory of mine. I don’t know if it’s true.
Imagine buying a Nintendo package of instant rice, riding in a Nintendo taxi to a Nintendo love hotel, where your wife becomes pregnant and you child gets the first Nintendo electronic toy
What a nice travel down memory road this was for me. Super Mario World was the 1st game I played at my cousin's house and then the following year I got a N64 the Christmas year it came out and omfg that was amazing.
forgot to mention that a US soldier's GameBoy was damaged when their barracks were bombed during the Gulf War and still works.i think its displayed at a Nintendo museum or store in new york .
@@alucardofthe9thcircle792 yep; I live in NY and in the NYC Nintendo store they have a few displays of rare consoles/every console ever made and they have that original gameboy on display as well.
@@OfficialJJMechanics no it has a dc input on the side for hooking up to that external battery/plug in adapter. Thats whats plugged into it keeping it on.
Fun fact: A medic from a war carried a gameboy inside hes pocket. It was bombed many times but surprisingly the gameboy was still ok and playable. Showing how strong nintendo consoles were. Edit: fixed a grammar mistake
Fun fact: the ds lite has a brightness toggle so you can change the brightness unlike the ds. Edit: thanks for the likes Edit 2: whoever liked thanks I never had this many
I truly believe that the NES is the most important gaming system in history. It single handedly revived the ENTIRE gaming market after it was dead. Without it, who knows where the whole gaming ecosystem would be. I'll tell you we wouldn't be THIS far with graphics and just awesome games in general without Nintendo. And it's not even a debate to me
Well like many other consoles at the time, it really wasn’t a necessity. Future consoles will probably scrap the idea all together as it takes up for hardware which could be used for other things.
Nintendo invented so many things that are considered a staple in the gaming industry, handheld consoles, wireless controller, motion controls, rumble and even virtual reality.
I’ve had the Wii, Wii U, and now the switch, it’s cool to see how far Nintendo has come, and to see how the graphics and gameplay have improved over the years.
ive been thinking of getting the Oled Switch, im just scared that Nintendo will be putting out a new console right after comparing the the PS5 and XboxX that just came out...450$ is a pretty hefty price
I will continue to stan and support Nintendo to the last of my days. They aren't afraid to stand out or try something new, and I have to respect that. I've had a N64, GameBoy Color, SP, DS, GC, Wii, Switch... They just do it for me. 💕
I grew up playing GameBoy and I still think Nintendo is unrivaled when it comes to fun and shared experiences. Sure there’s good games among the competitors, but no one does shared gameplay quite like Nintendo. I enjoy many titles by myself on other consoles, but when I wanna play with friends I pick the switch every single time. I also like that Nintendo keeps their games animated. Personally I think that style is more appealing than hyper realistic titles
Seeing that clip of Mario Kart on the Wii brought back so many memories of me and my dad racing across those mushrooms. They’ve had their highs and lows, but whatever you think about them, Nintendo was huge for the game community.
seeing how successful Nintendo is. its really surprising to find out that the company was founded in the late 1800's, is almost 150 years old, and started out as a small company that makes playing cards.
The Wii mini was not exclusively released in Canada. About 6 months after being released in Canada it briefly was available in the US as well for around $100
I didn't realise how much the ps1 oversold the n64...Nintendo really created a monster 😂 I'd still love to see the alternate timeline where Nintendo sticks with Sony and the CDi never gets made. I wonder what the video game market would look like today
Brings back so many memories of my early childhood to now. I remember when I was very little, I had the N64 where I first played MARIOKART. Then I was later given as a present the Game Boy. And then I remember later on I wanted the GameCube which I got I think either for my birthday or for Christmas. And that’s where I first played Animal Crossing. I played the other versions on the other systems as well. I then asked about a year or two later Santa for a blue DS Lite, and a few years later I got the DS i XL which was a surprise present from my grandma. And when I graduated from middle school, my grandma got me the Wii as a graduation present. I eventually also got the 2DS only because it was slightly cheaper and now I have the Nintendo Switch. I still love them all and Nintendo to this day! Animal Crossing, Super Mario Bros., MARIOKART, MARIO PARTY, and all the other classics are still my favorite to this day. And I can’t wait to see Super Nintendo World when it opens at Universal Studios!
27:29 I remember playing this game for the first time on my Wii U back in December 2017. I also remember grinding the hell outta it and getting all shrines and almost 1/3 of the korok seeds. Magical times…. 6 years later and here I am today, continuing my fun with BotW and playing TotK for the first time on my Switch. That opening cutscene makes me feel a wide variety of emotions…
i didn't thought, Nintendo has gone through alot. from selling products to gaming, i see why it makes Nintendo a little special to the gaming community. despite the ups and downs this company having, they still continue to be creative. things like this, should be featured on to Nintendo, to show the journey this company have.
I was skeptical to watch this since it is around 30mins, but after I finished it I felt like only 5 minutes has gone by. A very good explanation, keep it up!
can we just appreciate how much effort Nintendo put into their Nintendo cards? I remember being a young kid in the 1880's, having so much fun playing that card game!
I agree mate! In fact, I can’t wait to play my Nintendo Wii on my Samsung 6 Series 75 inch TV via my AV to HDMI converter that’s coming in the mail soon.
For me it all started with the SNES when I was 9. I still remember having to choose between Sega and Nintendo... then had a Game Boy (like everyone else), a N64 and a GC. When the Wii came around I stopped playing console games and focused on the PC. Two weeks ago I finally decided to get a Switch, and even though I was hesitant at first because I'm spoiled by super high framerates / resolutions / quality, I have to say the polish of Nintendo games (and hardware) has always been something else. I kinda regret I missed the 3DS and I might pick up a used one...
@@unused7629 i just bought a second one as back-up. I suspect China will not be producing or cloning the 3D factor anytime soon so unless something new comes out, this is all the handheld 3D we're going to get for a while. And prices are going up.
Long live Nintendo which revived the gaming industry with gaming ‘s most important console, the NES. Your animation and transitions is amazing and some of the best I’ve seen.
A technical curiosity: A nes controller it's a mere generic 4021 chip that converts parallel inputs (the buttons) into a serial output, which makes easy to use them in electronics, the Super NES controller is made with two 4021 for extra buttons :D
Game genie was the thing you put on the game an then put the game in your console an you could enter cheat codes out the game genie book for the nes..super ninetendo an some other consoles I thought
FWIW Famicom is technically an abbreviation since the original product was branded as "Family Computer". And the NES is actually the "Nintendo Entertainment System". Naturally both of those names are a bit cumbersome, so of course people chose to abbreviate them. -- Probably explains why the original system actually had a keyboard, disk drive, and modem as optional accessories, even if they never saw a US release. Also offers some logic for why their was an SNES Mouse.
My family has had ALL gaming systems yet Nintendo has always proven itself to be my favorite one & watching all of this evolution I guess i understand why. They are so creative and innovative! Just wow! This video was so interesting!
Just watched this today, amazing how about 50% of all Switches sold were just in the past 2.5 years. It was already out for almost 4 years at the making of this video, interesting to see how it wasn't as popular at launch as it was in the long run
Same, the first game console I ever owned was a 3ds XL back in 2013, back when TH-cam wasn’t full of cringy clout-chasers, Tik Tok didn’t exist, and you could say something mildly insensitive on TH-cam without the entire internet showing up at your door to cancel you. Good times…

I didn't realise how much the ps1 oversold the n64...Nintendo really created a monster 😂 I'd still love to see the alternate timeline where Nintendo sticks with Sony and the CDi never gets made. I wonder what the video game market would look like today
Nintendo PlayStation will releases prob.........
Nitendo 64 was the best ever
4:20 ah yes! The inspiration for the best switch game; calculator!
¡WE ALREADY HAVE CALCULATOR ON OUR PHONES AND GOOGLE AND PC!

Honestly Mario does kinda look like a plumber from the 19th century in a way, he got that hat, the mustache and overalls.
Because he *_IS_* a plumber
It's awesome to see the evolution my first console was the N64. I was like 5 when I started playing it. My love of gaming grew from there
Brings back so many memories of my early childhood to now. I remember when I was very little, I had the N64 where I first played MARIOKART. Then I was later given as a present the Game Boy. And then I remember later on I wanted the GameCube which I got I think either for my birthday or for Christmas. And that’s where I first played Animal Crossing. I played the other versions on the other systems as well. I then asked about a year or two later Santa for a blue DS Lite, and a few years later I got the DS i XL which was a surprise present from my grandma. And when I graduated from middle school, my grandma got me the Wii as a graduation present. I eventually also got the 2DS only because it was slightly cheaper and now I have the Nintendo Switch. I still love them all and Nintendo to this day! Animal Crossing, Super Mario Bros., MARIOKART, MARIO PARTY, and all the other classics are still my favorite to this day. And I can’t wait to see Super Nintendo World when it opens at Universal Studios!

I remember playing this game for the first time on my Wii U back in December 2017.
I also remember grinding the hell outta it and getting all shrines and almost 1/3 of the korok seeds.
Magical times….
6 years later and here I am today, continuing my fun with BotW and playing TotK for the first time on my Switch.
That opening cutscene makes me feel a wide variety of emotions…

Thanks man
i didn't thought, Nintendo has gone through alot. from selling products to gaming, i see why it makes Nintendo a little special to the gaming community. despite the ups and downs this company having, they still continue to be creative.
things like this, should be featured on to Nintendo, to show the journey this company have.
I was skeptical to watch this since it is around 30mins, but after I finished it I felt like only 5 minutes has gone by. A very good explanation, keep it up!
can we just appreciate how much effort Nintendo put into their Nintendo cards? I remember being a young kid in the 1880's, having so much fun playing that card game!
lol
You should aged 50+ years old by now
This is an amazing piece of history. Shout-out to Nintendo and its greatness. It is the best plethora of systems in the world ✨
They are not the best.

I agree mate! In fact, I can’t wait to play my Nintendo Wii on my Samsung 6 Series 75 inch TV via my AV to HDMI converter that’s coming in the mail soon.
This is probably my favorite game company thank you for making this.
For me it all started with the SNES when I was 9. I still remember having to choose between Sega and Nintendo... then had a Game Boy (like everyone else), a N64 and a GC. When the Wii came around I stopped playing console games and focused on the PC. Two weeks ago I finally decided to get a Switch, and even though I was hesitant at first because I'm spoiled by super high framerates / resolutions / quality, I have to say the polish of Nintendo games (and hardware) has always been something else. I kinda regret I missed the 3DS and I might pick up a used one...
better hurry picking up the 3DS, the nice ones in good condition are getting expensive fast
@@LEGOpachinko i own a 3ds that i bought unused, i bought it when it first came out, and i love the thing
@@unused7629 i just bought a second one as back-up. I suspect China will not be producing or cloning the 3D factor anytime soon so unless something new comes out, this is all the handheld 3D we're going to get for a while. And prices are going up.
love how everyone else in this thread is talking ab 3DSs but I asked and got a gameboy advance sp for my birthday lmao
@@okwhat3236 I don't know if that is by choice or because of budget but if by choice; a jail broken 3DS can run GBA games
Long live Nintendo which revived the gaming industry with gaming ‘s most important console, the NES. Your animation and transitions is amazing and some of the best I’ve seen.
I’ve been excited for this ever since you announced it!
Yeah
Awesome video about Nintendo's history. They have entertained many generations of both children and adults, that's for sure.
A technical curiosity:
A nes controller it's a mere generic 4021 chip that converts parallel inputs (the buttons) into a serial output, which makes easy to use them in electronics, the Super NES controller is made with two 4021 for extra buttons :D
I can't get enough of your content, so I subscribed!
What does take time to appreciate how much Nintendo put into the conslas and still makes it family friendly
Once it went from the GameCube through the 3DS section I got so much nostalgia lol
the animation and especially the transitions between different scenes are outstanding! great video🙏
@Timon Di Mare Whoah , Whoah, Whoah, Are you serious?
I mean... Great!
I work at Nintendo when i was 23 and im now 31 today so thx for talking about Nintendo❤️
23:01 when I tell you I smiled when New Leaf came up, I mean it. THIS GAME WAS LIKE BEING PLAYED 95% OF THE TIME.
Finally, someone talks about Animal Crossing in a Nintendo video. Saaaaame, New Leaf was a big part of my childhood
@@nintenblink7560 yess finally
really emotional watching this, i miss all those games
My family has a Nintendo Entertainment System. We call it the Game Genie, though we never use it. 😅
dose it still work?
@@chetansai9400 We think so, but we never use it.
@@lunalgaleo1991 is it like a tv or a console
Game genie was the thing you put on the game an then put the game in your console an you could enter cheat codes out the game genie book for the nes..super ninetendo an some other consoles I thought
I have one
Generation these days wil never understand how amazing the old games were.
And I am here smiling because of the Nostalgia that you brought to us. ❤️
16:25 1 like = 1 prayer for donkey kong
Ooooh thats what she does
I like all the systems but Nintendo is my true love. Amazing compilation
Nintendo done so many things and failed so many times before find a success in video games industry. Hard work paying off 🧡
Q: What's the difference about Famicom and NES?
A: Same console, Famicom was released in the US as NES.
Yeah, they just have different designs.
Ah yes, my favourite place, nes
FWIW Famicom is technically an abbreviation since the original product was branded as "Family Computer". And the NES is actually the "Nintendo Entertainment System". Naturally both of those names are a bit cumbersome, so of course people chose to abbreviate them. -- Probably explains why the original system actually had a keyboard, disk drive, and modem as optional accessories, even if they never saw a US release. Also offers some logic for why their was an SNES Mouse.
Different shells. In the UK we got the Famicom as the SNES
15:30 this Pikachu gave happiness just so cute!
@Jahsay The Mii Pikachu: PEEEE?
Pikachu surprised face
8:20 this man is a legend, literally took his gameboy and played tetris in SPACE lmao
The evolution of nintendo is so fantastic and great video man :]
My family has had ALL gaming systems yet Nintendo has always proven itself to be my favorite one & watching all of this evolution I guess i understand why. They are so creative and innovative! Just wow! This video was so interesting!
Beautiful flat graphics and illustration! Highly appreciated!
“Three years older than planned” yeah… that’s nintendo.
Its so amazing how Nintendo went changing over the years.🥳
I hope they make a N64 Classic Edition, and GameCube Classic Edition
Or just bring back the old classic games, and make them more updated.

Just watched this today, amazing how about 50% of all Switches sold were just in the past 2.5 years. It was already out for almost 4 years at the making of this video, interesting to see how it wasn't as popular at launch as it was in the long run
1:50 fun fact: there’s a weapon in Splatoon based off this, it’s called the N Zap.
Splatoon what numb- you know what it exists in every splatoon game.

I like the way he does evil like music in console wars scenes
22:00 hearing that sound effect just took me back to Christmas morning, starting up my 2ds for the first time.
Cool
Same, the first game console I ever owned was a 3ds XL back in 2013, back when TH-cam wasn’t full of cringy clout-chasers, Tik Tok didn’t exist, and you could say something mildly insensitive on TH-cam without the entire internet showing up at your door to cancel you. Good times…
I was a Nintendo kid growing up. I had a NES & SNES. I have both Classic NES & SNES Mini systems. Love them both.
Nintendo is THE premier video game company!
Their dedication to quality really shows in every console and game they make!
Excluding a few mobile games … (I’m talking about Mario Kart Tour and Dr. Mario World)
Would be cool if their 400 dollars console holded mode than 32gb when you bought it and could handle big games
1985 was one of the best years for computers, supermario came out and windows 1.0 came out
So cool that you called USA "Outside of Japan". Of course there is no: Europe, Africa, Antarctica, Australia. Very cool
