00:00:18.439 --> 00:00:23.359
interested in what's in the box and you're not really that interested in FAQ

00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:27.800
there'll be a time stamp in below in the description just to jump you towards

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.720
more thoughts and conclusions about Wii U if you are interested in the other

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

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

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

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

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:55.680
actually not a Wii it is a Wii U this is

00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:57.520
a Wii U it is different it looks quite

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

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

00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:09.720
the same as the Wii sensor bar so they're interchangeable the component

00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:14.360
cable from your Wii will work on your Wii U although I do recommend using the

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

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

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

00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:30.600
pain my favorite over four player game that I've played so far is Super Mario

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:34.600
Bros U or might have got that name slightly wrong but whatever and what it

00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:37.520
is is four people will be on screen playing and then you can have a fifth

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:05.520
gam pad and interact with them while they're playing but he doesn't have to

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

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:15.480
supports many games will also support off TV play so say your mom is watching

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:18.560
her favorite TV show you can still play your Wii U wherever the heck you want

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

00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:26.120
which is again very cool there was some foresight into that and there's some

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.319
good ideas in the Wii U there's also some terrible ones another good idea is

00:02:28.519 --> 00:02:34.840
that you can actually expand the storage via USB so external flash drive or hard

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:39.560
drive will work fine you can transfer things like downloaded games save data

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

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

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

00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:56.120
standard definition uh you cannot use your gam pad for Wii games you have to

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

00:02:58.760 --> 00:03:06.640
wies but still you cannot watch like Netflix or do anything like that on your

00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:10.159
gam pad while you're playing games um because it's not separated like that it

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

00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:17.239
like I said before you can still play games or watch Netflix on it somewhere

00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:21.200
else in the house many games are going to be 720p upscale to 1080p although

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

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:29.560
seen that with NextGen Hardware from other brands as well so this isn't too

00:03:27.519 --> 00:03:35.080
surprising now as PC enthusiasts you guys not buying this for it's crazy

00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:36.920
blazing fast Hardware that's not what's

00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:42.439
happening here this thing's Hardware is not specifically impressive at

00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:44.000
all even a little bit so why would you

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

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

00:03:52.239 --> 00:03:58.040
interested in the hardware power of a Wii U at all I'm interested in it

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:03.840
because it can play Nintendo games it can play stuff like Zelda win HD Pikmin

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

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:10.799
stuff like Mario Kart 8 Hyrule Warriors if you haven't heard of Hyrule Warriors

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:14.560
look it up it looks really interesting Super Smash Bros and like where the hell

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

00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:23.120
future um what I'm not interested for Wii U is stuff like Watchdogs and Call

00:04:20.840 --> 00:04:26.840
of Duty and Assassin's Creed and much heavier stuff because I'm just going to

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:31.360
go play that on my computer especially big multiplayer games the Wii U online

00:04:29.039 --> 00:04:34.680
support is very weak so if I'm going to play something online with all my

00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:39.880
friends I see myself doing that on a computer not a console um the console

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

00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:46.479
like hauling their PCS that time so it's

00:04:44.919 --> 00:04:50.320
it's an interesting position there is stuff to be interested about and there's

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:53.960
a lot more exclusives than other consoles like Xbox One or PlayStation 4

00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:57.680
there's a bunch of other stuff that's kind of really confusing as well in

00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.960
terms of what the heck is going on Nintendo's an interesting company

00:04:59.080 --> 00:05:05.120
because they're locked within their own ecosystem but like why aren't they more

00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:08.120
locked within their own ecosystem in my mind other people are like no open up

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

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

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

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

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

00:05:29.400 --> 00:05:35.680
doesn't make a ton of sense what will hopefully make sense is

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

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

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

00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:53.880
price is subjective to 10 billion things that's usually why we don't say prices

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

00:05:55.960 --> 00:06:01.639
or $250 range with those games in it as

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

00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:09.720
sorry succeed I grew up on Nintendo and I do still really enjoy these games I

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

00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:17.360
about Nintendo's stock keeps kind of going like this lately I know a few days

00:06:15.400 --> 00:06:21.680
ago it tanked really hard but then I think last night it skyrocketed again up

00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:24.560
like two bucks or something which is actually a huge movement the whole

00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:27.960
industry doesn't really seem to be decided on the whole Nintendo thing so

00:06:26.479 --> 00:06:32.000
