What Happens When You Play the Wii U in 2021... Is it worth it??

I pulled my Wii U out of my closet today to play. To be honest, I forgot I still had a Wii U. It's been so long since I've played it that I didn't remember the features and things that it had. Check out the video to see my try out the Wii U in 2021 and make a determination if you should actually buy one now...

Would you still buy a Wii U in 2021?? No doubt it had some good games. But I have mixed feelings about it.

The Wii U was basically a big part of my late childhood. Its one of the reasons i love mario and nintendo games/consoles. That is the exact box I got mine in, and I immediately fell in love with it. My Wii U is in mexico at my grandma's house, and I am going there for vacation soon, so I would be able to play it again for the first time in years. Thank you for making a video on this as it bought back so many memories.

edit: i played with my wii u am happ.

This system is actually one of the systems that I wish they were successful but they aren't like the Dreamcast

Please get the Wii U! It has a built in Wii, it's easy as hell to mod, it has great titles, and it is compatible with all of your previous Wii games, unlike the Switch. If you mod it, you can play some Gamecube games as well.

It is not a glorified Wii. It has introduced a load of different gaming experiences that are specific to this console. The Switch can port its games but it cannot port its control system nor its charm.

6:28 The Wii U Game Pad could work as a TV remote because it has an infrared receiver to do so. Hitting the TV button will put up a num pad and volume and channel controls. You could even have it where it can control the cable box as well. There was also an app called Nintendo TVii where it was an extra layer to the TV experience, mostly for the audience interaction. The best example of the audience feedback would probably be live sports. On the Game Pad, it would ask users what would happen for the next play in real time. It was quite revolutionary, but Nintendo removed it before they even discontinued the Wii U anyway. This kind of audience interaction can still be seen today on Twitch since Amazon has some of the broadcasting rights for some Thursday Night Football games. During one of the games, it asked what was going to happen for the next play.

The Wii U is an amazing console and deserves more love!!! I still play mine everyday as it’s my main console!!!

Just bought one. One very obvious shortcoming of the original Wii is lack of hdmi out, but wiiu is absolutely a great buy in 2021. About to play a bunch of Switch games for a quarter of the price

Most game servers are still up and the games are good. Very underrated console. I got mine for 80-100 bucks on late 2018 btw. Worth it if you can find a deal

Saw your video where you put random discs into the Xbox Series X yesterday and you said you’d come up with an idea to make a video on the Wii U.. and here it is 😄😂

I love using the Wii U in 2021! I use it to play the Skylanders games.

The only reason I got a Wii U was to play Splatoon on it

I love the wii u and had it since 2012 and its great, i never wanna sell it, i just wanna keep playing it which i do

[jsportvideo]

Just got one from eBay in early January. Came as the splatoon and super smash bros edition box included for $197. Great condition works great. I also got mk8, super Mario world, breath of the wild, and nsmb u. I love this thing. I’m thinking of modding it idk yet. But I do recommend it it’s a emulation beast.
