“The only limit is the creativity of the developers” -Nintendo, 2012
Lmao that stupid they are
Turns out, the Wii U was just the friends we made along the way
@@greenkoopa yes yes indeed
@@jimfancy-pants6221 holy crap was this really a year ago 😟
@@greenkoopa yup
I remember my Dad looking at this, and deciding not to get me it because he thought it was a portable version of the Wii.
I dont want to be mean but if your dad listened the first words and he said that it was a portable wii he is dumb no offense the guy in the ad said a new whole console
Wii U isn’t portable at all
Dying Meme This is a great example of why it failed
Wiki
Super Yeah Looks like Wii U Owners Are In Pain xD!!!!!!
I don't even own a Wii U, and yet I still get nostalgia from watching this.
Same I never owned one as well
I own one so I get even more nostalgia
Facts bro, old Nintendo ads hit different
@@_YouKnow-THATdude old Nintendo everything was better, they tried more, because they were failing. I was never round in the wii u era but I got one a couple months back and I love it. There was personality going thru menus, now on the switch it is pure silence
same I don't have 3ds or Wii u but this feels nostalgic for some reason Maybe because I used to watch the 3ds ads
Wii U= forever fun
Comedy Tube how bout the nintendo switch

SuperLuigiPlays yup
@@samtherandomguy5385 7 years now....where did time go...?
@@PhoenixWrightAceAttorney Ha. It seems, someone got a Wii U!
Interestingly enough, the Gamepad is really comfortable in the hands. I think that Nintendo pretty much made sure that you could actually hold the thing.
And much lighter than it looks
Yeah! I freaking love the Wii U and the gamepad!
switch is great, but i very much do perfer the feel of the gamepad better
And to think the Switch has already been announced....
Wii U and Nintendo switch teamed up along with the other consoles for a special with cars 3 driven to win while the Wii U doing it’s final game of it
Oh the innocent past of the switch when it just got announced before switch online... Haha. HahahahahaahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
No
And to think about the switch oled model has already been announced
And now the new system is confirmed to be announced this fiscal year
"Headphone Jack" They took a stab at Apple 4 years early without even realizing it lol
I mean the iPhone 5 had a headphone jack, so I don't see your point.
It's a joke, now take it
@@darkfire2937 it's called the iphone 7
Well, jokes on everyone now. The switch has a headphone jack yet even Samsungs latest flagships don’t have one. R.i.p. headphone Jack.
@@_stealth_y hello? Who would use headphones jacks on a s20, when that has wireless earbuds included?
I love the GamePad, I love the Wii U, and I will love the Switch like the Wii U
Toy Bonnie 71 Maybe people hate it because it's not portable,I love the Wii u
PR Smasher the switch is gonna be way better because you can take games on the go.
jordan rausch Your damn right bruh! And also when they confirm the Virtual Console of Gamecube I will play it on "non-stop" mode!
PR Smasher cool
i dont have eather of thoes
Hey, anyone else remember that "Accessory Connector" they mentioned at 2:46? Me neither.
JoCoBrony lol true
Was that thing ever actually used for anything? I don't remember hearing about any accessories that attached to the GamePad.
@@blueblur98 I think it was used just for battery packs to increase the battery life.
@@blueblur98 it was used also for kiosks to hardwire the gamepad to the unit
It was never used for anything
This console has to be the most underrated consoles ever. This console was a great emulator for past games, had great graphics ( since some people only look at graphics first), has some amazing First Party Games, and was really creative. Too bad it sold poorly this console had some more potential but at least the Switch has extremely helped Nintendo through the WiiU's rough years.
If only Nintendo gave it a different name at first, it probably would've sold better......
I think they should make a gamepad switch. Like put a whole switch into the gamepad shell. That would be amazing to hold
I really hate when people criticize my favorite machines
@UltimatePikachu2022 Hello!
By the way, the name is Toodles
Ah. I miss 2012. I remember when I told my friend, "Everytime I watch 3DS XL or Wii U videos, I feel like it's the future." I wish 2012 was back.
PICT[/.\]CHAT same
Me too. 2012 was PERFECT
THIS is what a Nintendo commercial should look like. This makes me want to go out and buy a WiiU! Great presentation.
Nope. Just saying the obvious, but giving it a boring tone... And developers, in case we didn't remember that.
Eduar yes and most wii u games has been ported to the switch so yes it's been dead only games we have left is fire emblem game from Wii U super Mario maker and super smash bros that's it lol
Dom Tiberio t
@@Heira wii u doesn't have anything now
*Nintendo switch has joined the chat*
"When Dad wants to watch that baseball game on Wii U..." yeah they were definitely marketing towards a different demographic back then
This tour is misleading, it needs more fingerprints.
actually its correct ive never touched the damn thing after i bought it and played it once
Noblecheesehead lol
Noblecheesehead yep
Way more fingerprints if mine was on this tour
Noblecheesehead funny thing is Same here I've been playing the switch games and next month Im getting pokken deluxe version on the switch with dlc included and I havenr played my Wii u since after I unplugged it
This controller is a lot cleaner than mine at home!
👌
Hudson&Hayden Vlogs same
Hudson&Hayden Vlogs and Mario Sunshine For Wii U same here😂
Steven Quartz Universe Thank you all for responding and liking my comment!!
Hudson&Hayden Vlogs we do have fingerprints. A ghost is holding the gamepad.
Duuuddeee, I remember watching this over and over as a little kid 😂😂😭

Technically they had voice chat in Minecraft using the GamePad. Also Wii U Chat utilized those features well.
*hydro pump* NO WAY IT HAS STEREO SPEAKERS?!?!?!?!?!
The fact that this is was 10 years ago makes me feel old
We’ll now it’s 11 years ago so we all feel old now
I miss this controller, i actually liked it
Same.
The Wii U is still one of my favorite consoles
Same. It actually felt good to hold. If it's wrecked tho, good luck trying to play games with only the Wiimote or Pro Controller.
I do too. At least it doesn't drift after like 5 uses
Me too
This will always be my number 1 console in my heart, yea I got the switch and wii but the Wii U was the first ever console I ever had back in kindergarten, I still got the wii u and still play it.
I like it when he says "it's a entirely new console from nintendo that fundamentally changes the relationship between you and your tv,your high depth gaming console,the Internet, and how you your friends and family all connect"
To me, I don't think the Wii u gamepad is a gimmick. Plus, the Wii u is the most underrated console of this generation.
+Silver The "Psychic" Hedgehog shame on you :/
Bodie Ismay huh?
***** ok?
Exactly.
Exactly.
Switch reveal is killing this reveal. 250k likes vs. 5k likes...and this video is almost 5 years old. Switch also has more views in 11 hours vs. 5 years.
Ljink 96 this is not the announcement trailer for the Wii U. it was announced at e3 2011 and that vid has 11m views on IGN KZhead
***** Switch is now at 10.3 million, so it'll easily outdo that video too...
Ljink 96 a month later, and it did
video now has 30 million views.
Ljink I cant believe that you are actually judging how the console is by looking at its likes. Jesus, my friend was right. The society looks braindead nowadays.
This guy as the announcer for SSB5. Get on it sakurai.
It's sad they had to bring up the fact it's an "entirely new console" just to stop people thinking it's an add-on, great console with great games but has too many flaws to ignore
All they had to do was just name it the Wii 2, but they didn't
this is the 7th wii u video ive seen in my reccomended today
If anyone’s wondering, the background music is called "A Different View” by Art Phillips.
The best controller of all time next to the Gamecube controller and wii mote.
the wii mote? i have a wii but it's not the best thing ever.. xP
+Dr Plush Wii mote brought Nintendo back to the top in the 7th gen, and revolutionized gaming. It wasn't just for nerds anymore, grandpa and grandma could get into it, and I know mine did. But looking back on it, I think the gamecube controller is still the best, it feels natural and built for anyone's hands, plus it has all the buttons I need for more complex games. ~ VCSGaming (TheVCubeSolver's alt account)
VCSGaming your grandpa and grandma plays games?
Dr Plush Sometimes when they come over, my grandmother likes to play Wii Bowling.
VCSGaming ...
I don’t know why this this console failed, Nintendo. This was so cool! And my friend still has a Wii U! I sometimes visit him and we play games on it. It has a great library of games, and the best part of it is that you can play Wii games on it. Great job, Nintendo!
It failed because of the horrible advertising, and its name. The advertisements made people think it's just aimed at children, and the name made people confused as to what it actually is. Many people thought it was just an unnecessary add-on controller for the Wii.
Yeah, i love playing on it! And sorry for the English.
I bought a wii u in 2022 Didnt regret it :)
Agreed. If only the commercials actually treated it like a real device.
Caramba, nunca esperei vc aqui!@@jumentoqueanima
I love the Wii U
Omar Alghazal, me to.
Luis Miter same here but I think its time to forget it now since the switch is killing it this year woohoo
Omar Sousa and Owen Foster talking to an 4 year old comment.
PSI Blue lol yes
Is best than switch
3:54 Wii U just got triggered
Bruh
He yust whant to take a break
Underrated.
After all these years of owning a wii u (And hardly playing it) I've never seen the rumble feature this intense 3:54
LoL
The accessory connector was literally never used
...wow, I wasn't way too into this new console, but now looking at it in depth, it actually looks kinda cool! Cant wait to see what they do with this new gaming system! =-)
thank you for this virtual tour I am still playing this today
2:42 I can’t wait to go onto zoom on my Wii U gamepad.
'Bout that.
This is the wii u game pad, it's used to control the wii u. You don't say?
Max Tamir You can use a touchscreen with a finger. I didn't knew this!
2:47 R.I.P the Accessory Connector.
I have the wii u is awesome
Ikr!
Zazzel 95 it was but it failed badly what's the point with the Wii u now it's dead now all the ports are coming off the Wii U now
Jacob Lukac u
It will never die! We love it! We have four of them and play them frequently. WiiU forever! Also the Switch is expensive as heck. We get three to four or more WiiU games for the price of one switch game. That's just crazy.
Faustustopheles no, switch forever cause it’s home console and portable which is better than Wii U
I miss the Wii U :(
is it bad that I almost fell asleep over the sound of his voice?(he has a calm voice)
I own the wii u... It's awesome!
Same, and I agree.
will they sale game pad ever?
I agree!!!
Remember watching this nonstop and wanting it the month before christmas.
Quite possibly my favorite controller solely because of how comfortable it is to hold
i love how they always have to say "entirely new console" in every video about the wii u
When I first got the Wii U, I thought that you could take the Wii U Gamepad with you and disconnecting it from the TV, and I thought it was portable, but sadly that wasn't the case. The Switch is basically everything the Wii U SHOULD have been. The Gamepad is just a gimmicky controller. I do love the Wii U though, it's a brilliant console, but this has been one of the worst generations for me as a Nintendo supporter, because everyone cares about PS4 and Xbox One, and no one talks about the Wii U, even though it has just slightly surpassed the Xbox One in sales. The Switch is going to change this though, we will get revenge on Sony and Microsoft for ruining our dreams!
WHOA!! Calm down, bro. Microsoft makes Windows XP, Windows 7 (why Windows Vista is not on the list? Good thing. Because Windows Vista is one of the most hated operating system EVER.) and Windows 10. (Again, Windows 8 is not on the list because this is still worse too.)
Cian Davies Simple thing, the Wii U is the uncompleted Switch.
Cian Davies ok good statement but Xbox sales are double Wii U sales actually
same here dude
Same case bro but wii u have more abilities than switch like tv control and motion control (the gamepad), internet browser and youtube
thank you for using the wii u, having fun playing the switch, always directly to you
I can't wait till its release day. I already have mine preordered.
I love this thing
"This is Wii U, its a *entirely* new console'''
Oh man, I remember watching this all the time as a kid. I remember being so excited for that Zelda game that was shown, but was only a show demo
Am still using my Wii u in 2018 and love it
Fun Fact, this was Nintendo last ever E3 in person
This was actually a dope fun fact
Even though this was in 2012 (and as of this comment, it is September 2018) I forgot that I had this for a second and I thought to myself, "where can I buy this thing?"
I'm getting one next year for my birthday (sep 2.) I also love the second screen, i can sit in my bed whilst the tv is on and still play! Amazing Nintendo! You bring joy to my life.
+Bodie Ismay Isn't, srry.
Did you still get it? Cause i think the switch reveal cane out not too long after you made this comment
The Wii U is my FAVORITE Nintendo Home Console, so much awesome game's like Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Game's, NES Remix Pack and especially Super Smash bros. for Wii U!!!
Now imagine the second screen with 3D capabilities of the 3DS. AMAZING.
Wait till the 3dswitch to be announced
I'm still playing Splatoon
More like Splatoon 2
More like splatoon 4
More like splatoon 8
More like splatoon 16
More like splatoon 64
I came back here to see the marketing comparison. It's truly incredible to see how different it is.
I can't wait to get that Wii u for Christmas day
Nintendo: "The Accessory Connector allows new accessories that will be introduced by Nintendo and third parties to work with the GamePad." Nintendo and third parties: *proceeds to do absolutely nothing with it*
I hope the NX trailer has something like this tommorrow
Hopefully the NX won't just be a new controller like the wii u. Seriously though, the wii u was an under-appreciated console, and If you get the reference, good job.
PSYCHE! Its a new controller for the wii - Oh. Oh, its a hybrid? Never mind...
SUPPRISE!! it's the switch.
I'm glad it didn't. What they did with the Switch Trailer was 1000% better then this
Switch is super cool
I remember watching this while on vacation in Virginia summer 2012. Ahhh, the good times 😭
One of my favorite video games ever!
It's a shame that the Wii U never really took off. It had plenty of potential with the GamePad, but since it lacked 3rd party support, had lower specs compared to PS4 and Xbox One, and terrible marketing (no one knew if it was a new console or a Wii add on) it failed. Not to say that it sucks (I own one), but it could've done a lot better. It's not a bad console at all, but it just doesn't match up to its competitors. ☹️
Even do I think I would still want one just to try out some of the other games aside from the latest Smash Bros.
Tito Acevedo It's a new console.
Jack Sullivan no the Nintendo Switch is
I know this is old but >had lower specs compared to PS4 and Xbox One That means nothing the Wii had 58 MB RAM and it succeeded. >no one knew if it was a new console or a Wii add on They literally reannounced it and from that point called it a new console. >It's not a bad console at all, but it just doesn't match up to its competitors. It's not really supposed to match up to its competitors, Nintendo always likes to bring a unique and new experience to the TV, Nintendo does things differently when it comes to their hardware and [sometimes] their games.
XBox sets on fire PS4 calls the ambulance Wii U Wii U Wii U Wii U
It’s insane how much more popular video games are now than when this video was released. If you did a Switch Pro Virtual Tour video it would have tens of millions of views in the first few days.
wii u lower price go brrrr
My beautiful Wii U. :)
At least it actually has a headphone jack...
That is the cleanest Wii U Gamepad iv'e ever seen.
I really did like a lot of things from the Wii U such as the things you could do on the screen in games, the apps and expecially Miiverse I wish they would of incorporated more things from the wii u into the switch then it would of been such a perfect console.
you missed the microphone feature and the nfc thing that you use for amiibos
Well the nfc amiibo support wasnt a thing till last year
it was there thou, you didn't need to buy a new gamepad sure it wasn't used untill ruble but nintendo put it there before hand
He mentions the microphone at 2:36
Wii U is best console of this generation.
yep the Wii U system has had so many games they had released and increased the Wii U sales
eleventhowlgaming Logan Higgins They still sold less than the Dreamcast but yeah...
+jensssen dreamcast just sold 8 millions and wii u has sold 10 millions wtf are u talking
U rekt m9
***** good for you , no one cares dear pcnazi
i remember before christmas going like "i want this". now I barely have any time to use it than I thought i would
It's an NEC point. That's Near Field Communicator. It has the ability to read specialized items that are placed on the Gamepad and deliver information, or create an in game likeness. Like in Skylanders where you can take collectible monsters and place them on a port that creates them in the game to play as. But there are tons more uses...
The first opening line said entirely NEW CONSOLE idk how many people didn't pick it up from just looking at it
2:47 The Accessory connector was never used!
Yeah, sadly... :(
“ENTIRELY NEW CONSOLE FROM NINTENDO” 11 years later, people STILL perpetuate the idea that Nintendo wasn’t clear on whether Wii U was a console or not. Make it make sense.
I keep wathcing videos about the Wii U, I wish it was Christmas right now! D:
No dad, I can't walk the dog. I have to learn about the Nintendo Wii U gamepad!
If only this thing succeeded
Thanks for this video, Nintendo!
A truly revolutionary controller imo. it is a regular controller, with regular buttons. But now with extra options for devs to do stuff with extra virtual buttons and stuff on the GamePad Touchscreen
They spent 7 years on it. It's still a good game overall. I could say that the tutorial follows you forever throughout the game which was slightly annoying but not too bad. But overall the gameplay was fresh. It was innovating. It showed a different yet good nature that the Zelda series has now brought.
@@soan06 No lol
Although the Wii U was a colossal fail. I always admired the game pad
this was mesmerizing as a kid lol
i just realized... they had the nfc reader on the gamepad before amiibo.. so we had no idea why that was there
I iove Wii u
How It's made
I used to watch this everyday till i saved up enough money to purchase one myself. I felt so happy owning one. Sold it off after a year but when i owned it, i had lots of fun. Such nostalgia watching this video
I had this for 4 years, since December 2013, amd damn it still works good. Unlike the Switch some people had problems with.
And it felt like I had infinite storage space.
Jaime TheProGamer, watch it, the Switch is in the same generation of the WiiU.
That's normal in the launch day
Actually I press the ZL and ZR buttons with my middle finger.
Wow, you like to live dangerously...
+Krzysztof Kościuszko Well now i've tried the other way and now i use them with my index fingers
Such a disappointment, really :(
Krzysztof Kościuszko Oh crap i changed back. I DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH ME!!!

If you don't have an HD TV or whatever than you can use the cord from the wii that has the red, white, and yellow plugins, or buy the cord separately at a store so if you wanted to play your Wii still.
I don't have a Super Mario Maker Deluxe Set (which includes a Wii U console and Gamepad, Amiibo, Super Mario Maker Download code and more) yet, but don't worry, I'll have it for christmas.
