Haven’t watched the whole video, but I could just answer:
It’s the one that can natively run GCN, Wii and Wii U games, with a whole ton of virtual console games too

[@evilkittyofdoom195]

Got one at a pawn shop the other day cheap , put a couple thousand games on it to play at work ...

[@stephensearles673]

Ive recently got a wii u off ebay with cfw and aroma so my wii u got all the games from the original nes right through to the wii u, with the master system and mega drive , game gear over 1000 games

[@carlgreene538]

Yes even though mine isn't modded it is still great!

[@Nava9380]

The WiiU is amazing . You can play Gamecube , Wii and all the VC games all on a single machine.

[@GeekBattleGaming]

You can play GameCube games on Wii U? I’m guessing that’s a jail broken one right? Or is there a workaround to get them playable in Wii Mode?

[@Nava9380]

@GeekBattleGaming "Nintendont is a Wii mode homebrew to play Gamecube games on WiiU vWii. Nintendont is not a modification or emulator. It's more like a bridge between an emulator and a virtual machine which runs Gamecube games natively."
And yes, you have to softmod your WiiU. I would recommend it, you can do much more with a modded WiiU.

Was worth it until they ported 3d world, although if you want to play Kirby rainbow curse go ahead that game is fun

[@ExtremeImprov]

The Wii U was my favourite console over the PS4 and Xbox One. Easily

[@GeekBattleGaming]

The Xbox One just kinda blurred into the Series X.

[@ClassicBee17]

Same here!

[@ultimate_pleb]

Interesting choice

[@davidpicard5376]

Yes it is. I'm lucky to have it with the vast amount of remarkable games.

Most 1st party nintendo wiiu games are not on the switch. The wiiu can play all wii games. But will spit out gamecube discs even after being modded.
The wiiu is essentially 4-5 gamecubes or 2 wiis power wise. Held back by nintendo.

[@premier1975]

The greatest game on the Wii U is Xenoblade Chronicles X.

[@GeekBattleGaming]

It’s one I haven’t finished, but I plan to get back into. For me it’s between Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart

[@ClassicBee17]

Such a great console imo

[@netweed09]

Modded its great but sadly stock marketing never let it acheive its full potential. And it lacked power. How can you let a Handheld like the Switch have even more power than you? A measly 0.5Tflops output and the Wii u could not even manage that. Sad ,, but I feel the Public got this call Correct the Switch overall was by miles the better console.

[@GeekBattleGaming]

Yeah this was a lot of ill advised choices by Nintendo that didn’t help their chances. Good games but also the third parties all abandoned them
