I hate when people say the Wii U sold poorly because of power. The Wii and Switch are both underpowered as well and look at how well they sold. Also claiming the Wii U was overpriced doesn't make sense either because the Switch is literally the exact same price.

Also the wiiu is super easy to mod, and once the store shuts down i dont feel bad installing any game i want

Zombie U and Devils Third are TWO reasons to get a Wii U! 👍🏼

[Sone]

Hey now. Zombi U’s multiplayer is one of my favorites of all time. The gamepad player places zombies in a simple RTS while the controller player plays an FPS. It’s great fun! Definitely don’t skip it if you see it cheap.

I'm happy this video popped up in my feed, nicely done! Mostly just a nostalgia hit for me, I really did love my wii u (that continues to collect dust...)

[troyfirme]

I would have mentioned Pikmin 3, which was phenomenal on the Wii U.

[Usagizaka]

Didn’t realize that about Captain Toad. Thanks!

[its_eli]

Great vid. I had two Wii Us and enjoyed them. There would probably be no Switch without Wii U, so I'm grateful. Switch is my favorite console ever 😎.

[snurly]

I don't think ZombiU is something to avoid desu, apart from the fact everyone I know who has played it had it crash repeatedly at the same place. I think it is a pretty decent game nothing incredibly special but still fun nonetheless

[ant-fan]

ZombiU is so good on Wii U! Surprised you said to avoid it!

Otherwise, great video!

[coryvb]

Love the Wii U and agree the battery for the gamepad is terrible! Nice video, thank you!

The top reason for the failure of the WiiU: people didn’t understand what it was. People thought it was an tablet add-on to the Wii. Nintendo didn’t even decently show the console during the first reveal and focused on the tablet.

The marketing team that were on the WiiU deserves to never find work again for the rest of their lives.

Great video. I'm checking all these videos out to see if I need to grab anything WiiU or 3DS related before the online goes down. I especially like the section on games which play better on WiiU. One reason I never picked up Toad for the Switch is it didn't seem to make sense without the gamepad so I downloaded the trial and sure enough it sucks on Switch. Don't downplay Chronicles X, great game and one I'd love to see get a sequel. Another one that will miss the gamepad though.

Wii Sports Club had a physical release, and it is pricey nowadays. But as you well said, is just hd of what we have gotten before, and for some reason not too good. Very nice video, thanks. I like my Wii U a lot (the tablet is my favorite controller as of today). Btw, I recommend Affordable Space Adventures. Best Regards.

Devils Third and Zombie U arent games to avoid on the Wii U - they are both decent original games for the console

[ianeons]

The Switch's battery life is the same as the Wii U

[tiagofernandes]

Zombie u is a great game meant to be played on the wii u. It's the best version of a great game.

[ianeons]

Unfortunately DS games will never come to the Switch

[Great-Documentaries]

12:40: "The Wii U is Nintendo's biggest failure in recent memory."
No. The Wii U is Nintendo's biggest failure, period. It was a failed mainline console that was so bad that Nintendo exited the console business completely and now only makes handhelds, like the Switch and "Switch 2." The Virtual Boy was not meant to be their next mainline console and was trying to quickly cash in on the VR fad of the mid 90s.

[Great-Documentaries]

2:20: "These factors led to the Wii U not getting 3rd party support."
WRONG! That isn't even CLOSE to the reason why.
3:20: "I know I've just gone through the reasons the Wii U was a failure."
No. Actually you didn't. None of those are the reason why it failed. You gamers just don't get it.
