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.

[eeeeewewew]

Ben this is such an outstanding series. Iove the concept and presentation. On to a winner here lads.

[TheMTwinny]

Not just any sports time.

HERE WE GO, WII SPORTS TIME.

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.

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 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.

“Oh yeah, here we go sports time” needs to be a t shirt

[ljubgucci]

I love that he called Raditz "Receding hairline Goku"

[mnky]

This really is the best video of Ben having a Wii!

[Failure]

Twilight Princess was one of the best games ever made, incredible launch title

[nemo]

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

[shaunkennedy]

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

[RandyTandy]

Give me more of these friggin launch line up lists. I love them so much, I wet myself at night

[TelQuelMusic]

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

[kintypoo]

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

[HowDoGame]

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.

[doomiag]

8:20 I died laughing lmfao the way it's presented makes it look like someone's trying to mug those penguins at gunpoint 🤣

[elijahgalvan]

Every episode you can make a drinking game out of how many times he says "oh yeah here we go sports time!"

[RichardLarge]

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.

[Redovan]

This series is so amazing it deserves so much more attention
