4
00:00:18,439 --> 00:00:23,359
interested in what's in the box and you're not really that interested in FAQ

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:27,800
there'll be a time stamp in below in the description just to jump you towards

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,720
more thoughts and conclusions about Wii U if you are interested in the other

7
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:36,280
stuff stay tuned we'll jump into that right away one extremely common misconception is that this is the Wii U

8
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:41,559
this is a Wii U gam pad and is one of the big very unique things about the Wii

9
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:46,320
U but it is not the Wii U another thing is that people think this is the Wii U

10
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:52,600
this is the Wii Wii U isn't just like a big Wii or small Wii or anything it is

11
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:55,680
actually not a Wii it is a Wii U this is

12
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,520
a Wii U it is different it looks quite

13
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:01,920
similar but it is not the same and while it's not the Wii a lot of accessories

14
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:05,920
and cables will actually work from a Wii to a Wii U so the Wii U sensor bar is

15
00:01:04,559 --> 00:01:09,720
the same as the Wii sensor bar so they're interchangeable the component

16
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:14,360
cable from your Wii will work on your Wii U although I do recommend using the

17
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:18,240
HDMI cable in the Box many Wii games as long as you have the disc will work on

18
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:21,439
your Wii U and Wii controllers will work on the Wii U as well you can technically

19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,240
play up to six players in different games but finding games that support that is going to be a little bit of a

20
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:30,600
pain my favorite over four player game that I've played so far is Super Mario

21
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:34,600
Bros U or might have got that name slightly wrong but whatever and what it

22
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:37,520
is is four people will be on screen playing and then you can have a fifth

23
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,479
player in a sort of they call it boost mode but it's like a a god mode which

24
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,520
interacts with the environment in different ways so you can put blocks down if someone like if it's it's four

25
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:49,479
players so it actually increases difficulty because you bump into each other so much so if someone jumps and

26
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:53,280
someone jumps on their head and it throws them down you can kind of catch them with a block and there's a few

27
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:58,360
other ways you can interact with the environment as well which is actually a pretty cool way of doing it so if you

28
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:03,000
say you have a bunch of kids and there's a dad he can kind of play with the Wii U

29
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,520
gam pad and interact with them while they're playing but he doesn't have to

30
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:11,239
actually jump in and take over one of their spots which is actually kind of cool I like that a lot uh it also

31
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,480
supports many games will also support off TV play so say your mom is watching

32
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,560
her favorite TV show you can still play your Wii U wherever the heck you want

33
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:23,120
because you can just play it on the game pad as long as you're within vicinity

34
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,120
which is again very cool there was some foresight into that and there's some

35
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:30,319
good ideas in the Wii U there's also some terrible ones another good idea is

36
00:02:28,519 --> 00:02:34,840
that you can actually expand the storage via USB so external flash drive or hard

37
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:39,560
drive will work fine you can transfer things like downloaded games save data

38
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:43,599
and Miis and more from your old Wii to your new Wii U although this is a

39
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,159
one-way Street it can't be transferred back just don't forget that now for some

40
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:52,040
things it can't really do it will not upscale Wii games they will be showed in

41
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:56,120
standard definition uh you cannot use your gam pad for Wii games you have to

42
00:02:54,519 --> 00:03:01,360
use Wii Moes which is probably fine because if you have Wii games you probably had a Wii and you probably have

43
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:06,640
wies but still you cannot watch like Netflix or do anything like that on your

44
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:10,159
gam pad while you're playing games um because it's not separated like that it

45
00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:13,640
has to be used for one thing although if the TV is being used for something else

46
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:17,239
like I said before you can still play games or watch Netflix on it somewhere

47
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:21,200
else in the house many games are going to be 720p upscale to 1080p although

48
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:25,760
there will definitely be some games at 1080p it's not always at 1080p but we've

49
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,560
seen that with NextGen Hardware from other brands as well so this isn't too

50
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:35,080
surprising now as PC enthusiasts you guys not buying this for it's crazy

51
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:36,920
blazing fast Hardware that's not what's

52
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:42,439
happening here this thing's Hardware is not specifically impressive at

53
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,000
all even a little bit so why would you

54
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:49,439
possibly be interested in this and why am I interested in this because I have a fairly high powerered computer myself

55
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:54,040
I'm interested in this because of what it can do not what it is I'm not

56
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:58,040
interested in the hardware power of a Wii U at all I'm interested in it

57
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:03,840
because it can play Nintendo games it can play stuff like Zelda win HD Pikmin

58
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:07,280
3 Wonderful 101 Super Mario 3D World and in the future it'll be able to play

59
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,799
stuff like Mario Kart 8 Hyrule Warriors if you haven't heard of Hyrule Warriors

60
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:14,560
look it up it looks really interesting Super Smash Bros and like where the hell

61
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:18,799
is Mario Party 10 there's no news about it at all but hopefully that in the

62
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:23,120
future um what I'm not interested for Wii U is stuff like Watchdogs and Call

63
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:26,840
of Duty and Assassin's Creed and much heavier stuff because I'm just going to

64
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:31,360
go play that on my computer especially big multiplayer games the Wii U online

65
00:04:29,039 --> 00:04:34,680
support is very weak so if I'm going to play something online with all my

66
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:39,880
friends I see myself doing that on a computer not a console um the console

67
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:44,919
Wii U console I expect to play when kind of more friends come over and don't feel

68
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:46,479
like hauling their PCS that time so it's

69
00:04:44,919 --> 00:04:50,320
it's an interesting position there is stuff to be interested about and there's

70
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,960
a lot more exclusives than other consoles like Xbox One or PlayStation 4

71
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:57,680
there's a bunch of other stuff that's kind of really confusing as well in

72
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,960
terms of what the heck is going on Nintendo's an interesting company

73
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:05,120
because they're locked within their own ecosystem but like why aren't they more

74
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,120
locked within their own ecosystem in my mind other people are like no open up

75
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,960
Nintendo's never going to open up they're never going to release a game on mobile they've said that more than once

76
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:17,360
uh what I don't understand is like why doesn't the 3DS or 2DS work with your

77
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:22,199
Wii U like why can't I use one of those as a game pad that's what they essentially are anyways they're just

78
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:27,080
much smaller why isn't that a thing why can't I play Pokemon X and Y on my Wii U

79
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:31,520
why isn't there a Mainline Pokemon game like Pokemon X and Y on my Wii U that

80
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:35,680
doesn't make a ton of sense what will hopefully make sense is

81
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:40,880
a price point at some point in time we saw a surge in popularity with 3ds and

82
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:45,919
2ds when the price took a drop now the Wii U has fairly recently had a price

83
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:50,240
drop down to $300 you can get a $300 one with Super Mario rosu and Luigi U that

84
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:53,880
price is subjective to 10 billion things that's usually why we don't say prices

85
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:59,400
in videos but still but I see it being a lot more attractive at say like a $ 200

86
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:01,639
or $250 range with those games in it as

87
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:06,120
well I hope these kind of things happen because I do want Nintendo to exceed I'm

88
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:09,720
sorry succeed I grew up on Nintendo and I do still really enjoy these games I

89
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:13,120
wish there on other platforms but they never will be so there's a lot to think

90
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:17,360
about Nintendo's stock keeps kind of going like this lately I know a few days

91
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:21,680
ago it tanked really hard but then I think last night it skyrocketed again up

92
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:24,560
like two bucks or something which is actually a huge movement the whole

93
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:27,960
industry doesn't really seem to be decided on the whole Nintendo thing so

94
00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:32,000
what is your thoughts what do you think about Nintendo post on the Forum post in
