PLEASE reset your Wii before selling it...

In this video, I test and explore 10 more of the consoles from The Hampton Haul lot to see what we find! I can't believe this was left on that Wii console 😬 does nobody factory reset their consoles anymore?

People leave the wildest things on (and in) their Wii consoles 😂

The original Wii (any Wii with Gamecube compatibility) actually had the capability to play DVDs, it was just disabled in the firmware so Nintendo didn't have to pay a commission per console. That could be remedied by modding the console to re-enable that functionality.

[AlexParr]

The guy who bought Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People _definitely_ had their priorities straight.

[RisingRevengeance]

"Gamecube compatible, you don't see those often"
What? It's the most common model by far, in fact its rare to come across anything else.

17:20 I feel aged when I realize that Homestar Runner isnt as recognizable as it once was.

[ENNEN]

I'm not surprised at all that a lot of these Wiis dont have much in terms of saves on them. The console was really inexpensive, but the games were really expensive. I remember growing up with a small library because we couldn't afford $50 for a game that came out 5 years prior. The prices of nintendo games have always been incredible ludicrous.

I love seeing consoles from the 2000s - early 2010s still selling smoothly on the internet. And I hope its legacy lasts long!

[theshadowman]

Somehow this has become one of my favourite things on YouTube. Probably because it's nice and simple like in the good old days.

[DevilzFan]

You know Jacob is a pretty young lad if he doesn't know Strong Bad haha. Classic from the early 2000's internet.

[vbing]

Seeing all these old consoles probably used to death being booted up and still working gives such a nice vibe to it.

[woffyreal]

whats with this crazy title? there was nothing even remotely interesting besides a single questionable mii on one of the wiis near the end. skimmed through this video for nothing

[Lachlant]

What is with the video title? Which Wii should have been banned? You say people should reset their Wiis, I assume you mean they should clear all their user data before transferring ownership of them, they should do that with any device they get rid of.

[SimonStrange]

You know you're old when you noticed the Homestar Runner game and Jacob didn't know what it was.

[Notpoop]

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is actually pretty good if you're into medieval settings and light RPG elements. The combat can be challenging at first as it's directional based and requires some timing but it gets easier as you progress and level up more. I really like that style of combat though but I did see people complain about it. It's worth a shot if you like that style / setting. If you don't care for knights and shit though I wouldn't bother.

[AuroraNemoia]

more amazed that none of the wiis were homebrewed than anything else.

[JordanHafford]

Watching these videos brings me back to when I was Maybe 14-15 years old, getting the YLOD on my first ever fat ps3 after talking so much shit about the 360 getting the Red rings, after watching many OG videos on YouTube I found it was just a thermal paste issue, took it apart myself, cleaned the old thermal paste off, applied new paste with an old blockbuster card and then it worked no problem. My parents were in disbelief

[Raphael]

14:00 And this is why the superslim PS3 was my favourite.

The fact that any of those Wiis had a working disc drive is amazing to me. 4/5 Wiis that my immediate family owns have had their disc drives fail, and they were all bought new over the course of a few years back in the day. And the last one that hasn't had a failed disc drive I simply don't believe my sister has used it in years and so I suspect it'll turn out to have failed next time she uses it.

I should also mention that we aren't terribly hard on our stuff. Our Wiis are in very good condition, nothing broken off, no gross stuff stuck to them or anything. Just, eventually they stopped being able to read discs.

[Doodle]

You've made me realise how good care my family and I take care of our old consoles.

Your content is fine, but people are clearly frustrated with your titles and thumbnails. The title implies that on your journey of repairing old consoles you stumbled across some sensitive information. I think you could alleviate this frustration by simply making your metadata more accurate to the content of the videos, or vice versa. A less misleading title for this video or others like it would be something like "People don't reset their consoles | Hampton Haul Part X" You can still be vague about it so long as it directly addresses the implication of the title within the first minute of the video. Otherwise people feel a little lost or misled within the first minute. I'd recommend looking at @GregSalazar 's channel for reference. Or you could continue engaging the algorithm by frustrating people enough to leave comments or suggestions. Might get you more views in the end though? Your choice if you want to sacrifice your integrity and subscriber trust for that. You decide how you make and present the content and the viewers decide if they'll stick around. I'm just saying, there are ways to keep their trust and gain their respect. Good luck to you in your console repairing journey!
