click now to learn more hey guys welcome to my Wii U overview if you're not
interested in what's in the box and you're not really that interested in FAQ
there'll be a time stamp in below in the description just to jump you towards
more thoughts and conclusions about Wii U if you are interested in the other
stuff stay tuned we'll jump into that right away one extremely common misconception is that this is the Wii U
this is a Wii U gam pad and is one of the big very unique things about the Wii
U but it is not the Wii U another thing is that people think this is the Wii U
this is the Wii Wii U isn't just like a big Wii or small Wii or anything it is
actually not a Wii it is a Wii U this is
a Wii U it is different it looks quite
similar but it is not the same and while it's not the Wii a lot of accessories
and cables will actually work from a Wii to a Wii U so the Wii U sensor bar is
the same as the Wii sensor bar so they're interchangeable the component
cable from your Wii will work on your Wii U although I do recommend using the
HDMI cable in the Box many Wii games as long as you have the disc will work on
your Wii U and Wii controllers will work on the Wii U as well you can technically
play up to six players in different games but finding games that support that is going to be a little bit of a
pain my favorite over four player game that I've played so far is Super Mario
Bros U or might have got that name slightly wrong but whatever and what it
is is four people will be on screen playing and then you can have a fifth
player in a sort of they call it boost mode but it's like a a god mode which
interacts with the environment in different ways so you can put blocks down if someone like if it's it's four
players so it actually increases difficulty because you bump into each other so much so if someone jumps and
someone jumps on their head and it throws them down you can kind of catch them with a block and there's a few
other ways you can interact with the environment as well which is actually a pretty cool way of doing it so if you
say you have a bunch of kids and there's a dad he can kind of play with the Wii U
gam pad and interact with them while they're playing but he doesn't have to
actually jump in and take over one of their spots which is actually kind of cool I like that a lot uh it also
supports many games will also support off TV play so say your mom is watching
her favorite TV show you can still play your Wii U wherever the heck you want
because you can just play it on the game pad as long as you're within vicinity
which is again very cool there was some foresight into that and there's some
good ideas in the Wii U there's also some terrible ones another good idea is
that you can actually expand the storage via USB so external flash drive or hard
drive will work fine you can transfer things like downloaded games save data
and Miis and more from your old Wii to your new Wii U although this is a
one-way Street it can't be transferred back just don't forget that now for some
things it can't really do it will not upscale Wii games they will be showed in
standard definition uh you cannot use your gam pad for Wii games you have to
use Wii Moes which is probably fine because if you have Wii games you probably had a Wii and you probably have
wies but still you cannot watch like Netflix or do anything like that on your
gam pad while you're playing games um because it's not separated like that it
has to be used for one thing although if the TV is being used for something else
like I said before you can still play games or watch Netflix on it somewhere
else in the house many games are going to be 720p upscale to 1080p although
there will definitely be some games at 1080p it's not always at 1080p but we've
seen that with NextGen Hardware from other brands as well so this isn't too
surprising now as PC enthusiasts you guys not buying this for it's crazy
blazing fast Hardware that's not what's
happening here this thing's Hardware is not specifically impressive at
all even a little bit so why would you
possibly be interested in this and why am I interested in this because I have a fairly high powerered computer myself
I'm interested in this because of what it can do not what it is I'm not
interested in the hardware power of a Wii U at all I'm interested in it
because it can play Nintendo games it can play stuff like Zelda win HD Pikmin
3 Wonderful 101 Super Mario 3D World and in the future it'll be able to play
stuff like Mario Kart 8 Hyrule Warriors if you haven't heard of Hyrule Warriors
look it up it looks really interesting Super Smash Bros and like where the hell
is Mario Party 10 there's no news about it at all but hopefully that in the
future um what I'm not interested for Wii U is stuff like Watchdogs and Call
of Duty and Assassin's Creed and much heavier stuff because I'm just going to
go play that on my computer especially big multiplayer games the Wii U online
support is very weak so if I'm going to play something online with all my
friends I see myself doing that on a computer not a console um the console
Wii U console I expect to play when kind of more friends come over and don't feel
like hauling their PCS that time so it's
it's an interesting position there is stuff to be interested about and there's
a lot more exclusives than other consoles like Xbox One or PlayStation 4
there's a bunch of other stuff that's kind of really confusing as well in
terms of what the heck is going on Nintendo's an interesting company
because they're locked within their own ecosystem but like why aren't they more
locked within their own ecosystem in my mind other people are like no open up
Nintendo's never going to open up they're never going to release a game on mobile they've said that more than once
uh what I don't understand is like why doesn't the 3DS or 2DS work with your
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
much smaller why isn't that a thing why can't I play Pokemon X and Y on my Wii U
why isn't there a Mainline Pokemon game like Pokemon X and Y on my Wii U that
doesn't make a ton of sense what will hopefully make sense is
a price point at some point in time we saw a surge in popularity with 3ds and
2ds when the price took a drop now the Wii U has fairly recently had a price
drop down to $300 you can get a $300 one with Super Mario rosu and Luigi U that
price is subjective to 10 billion things that's usually why we don't say prices
in videos but still but I see it being a lot more attractive at say like a $ 200
or $250 range with those games in it as
well I hope these kind of things happen because I do want Nintendo to exceed I'm
sorry succeed I grew up on Nintendo and I do still really enjoy these games I
wish there on other platforms but they never will be so there's a lot to think
about Nintendo's stock keeps kind of going like this lately I know a few days
ago it tanked really hard but then I think last night it skyrocketed again up
like two bucks or something which is actually a huge movement the whole
industry doesn't really seem to be decided on the whole Nintendo thing so
what is your thoughts what do you think about Nintendo post on the Forum post in
the comments below either one also what do you think about these kind of format
videos I recently did an Oculus video that was somewhat like this one and now
