when the wii came out people only really have like 1 television in their houses. The wii really hit the mark for being the go to console for home entertainment that the entire family could get used to

This dude has evolved so much. He used to make shitposts about how to be a weeb and now this! Good job Aztroman, keep it up!

I got an ad before the video for cordless power tools that had a guy saying “It felt comfortable in my hand, light weight and durable. I don’t have to drag any tubes around” and I was fully convinced it was just part of the video until the tubes part

The interesting thing about the Wii is it seems like something you would try with your family once then put it away and never try it again like most products that attempt something like that but my family used WiiSports all the time which just doesnt seem like it shouldve happened

It's simplicity was it's biggest achivement, every console, even freaking tv-remotes are way too hard to figure out for average old people at the time. The wii was literally just a tv remote and you only had to use one button, point and press. No switching source on the tv-remote bullshit. Or fingering some foreign analog stick. Granma just wants to fucking bowl, click on the bowl

I remember the first time I played the Wii was at a Six Flags park where they had a full demo area since it just came out. After playing a demo of Twilight Princess on it I instantly fell in love with the console. My family friends had one and for a while that was the only way I could play it. It wasn't until Wii Resort came out when we got the black edition Wii. Good times.

Great video! I have so much nostalgia for the Wii and DS Lite as they were my first console and handheld. The Wii had such a great library along with the virtual console and channels. It really was the best console Nintendo ever made.

Cannot believe you didn't mention Skylanders Spyro's adventure or Pokepark 1/2. The memories I made from those along with all the other games you mentioned is just truly amazing. Awesome vid man. Just went through a huge nostalgia ride.

Donkey Country Return for the Wii was the highest dopamine I’ve ever received for a Christmas gift. I didn’t even ask for it or really even want it at the time but it made me so excited. I have fond memories beating all the bosses and a lot of the games you showed were stuff I remember. This was super nostalgic and I loved remembering this stuff. Brawl is my favorite Smash 🔪

Aztrosist has been on a roll making these video essays. They're awesome! Keep it up!

when i was young, all my friends and neighbours owned a wii, now i haven't seen a single person in my country own a switch even, so it hits me kind of in a weird way that it passed wii in sales

Im so glad you brought up how it could run previous gen games, I almost finished Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time when I was like 9 or 10, shit was the best.

To this day, the Wii is still my favorite console of all time, I had so much great memories on that white box that reminds me of better days when life was good

As someone born in 2007, I grew up in the 3DS/Wii U era. I'm glad I experienced those games however I kinda wish I knew what it was like to grow up on the Wii, it was like a huge craze I was born just slightly too late to experience.

I remember I had this for my entire childhood until 2014 when it became very obvious to my parents that I never play it anymore (due to the Xbox being better). So then they gave it away to my older sister and her child, I was fine with it at first because I didn’t care about it at the time and I thought I could just ask her if I wanted it again for some reason. So then in 2017 I wanted it again, mainly because at the time I was obsessed with nostalgia and nostalgia culture. So I asked my parents if I could have it back, but when they asked my sister she said that they sold it off 2 years before then. I was so mad you have no idea, funny considering I didn’t care at all about it when I gave it away.

I remember, when my home life got flipped and my brother and I moved in with my dad, he bought a huge 73 inch TV, which back then was fucking insane. And he got a wii and a bunch of games. And my brother and I finally settled into our new home, playing Mario party 8 with the entire family. I remember feeling like a cool kid letting my brother win. The wii was the first true successful family friendly console.

Seeing the safety warning when you first start the console in color is always really cursed for me. I never connected my Wii to the internet as a kid so I never got any system updates, so it always stayed black and white

Wii era was and still is so good, the catalogue of games are amazing, the community still stay's strong, Wiimifi exists to continue the legacy, the wii has just been tinkered to hell so anything is possible with it, it was and still is the perfect console for quality games to share with friends.

I love the direction this channel is taking, it's so refreshing seeing you talk about stuff you're passionate about without sacrificing the humor that brought me here in the first place, I'm honestly excited to see whatever it is you make next.

My mother won us one in a competition by complete chance. The Wii hype wasn’t so relevant where I live. But yeah that random event lead to hours and hours of fun and fond memories from my childhood. I was definitely lucky to have one. One downside with owning a wii was that every new game you bought was a gamble due to the over abundance of shovelware. When someone bought a wii game for you it was either going to be the funnest game you ever played or the worst. Back in the late 2000s there was this crappy jailbreak going around that you payed some teenager to do for you. It was fun for a week, until I started the boot menu with a disc in the tray, which apparently broke the jailbreak. The games I had the most fun with as I recall Mario galaxy 1 and 2 New super Mario bros Wii sports resort Smash bros brawl Mysims racing (yeah I know it was a stinker but as a kid…) Donkey Kong country returns Cars: Raceorama

i think the fact that i can watch the original commercials so long after they came out and still laugh pretty hard at them speaks to how well nintendo marketed this thing. great vid btw

I love being a 2000s kid man

Wii shop and the wii music will forever be the most chillax music ever.

Wii classics:- Super mario galaxy 1 and 2 Smash bros brawl Mario Kart Twilight princess Wii resort

Not to mention Super Mario Galaxy was revolutionary. Easily one of the best games of all time and set a new standard for what games could and should be. Love that franchise with all my heart

I love seeing an aztrosist video pop up in my feed. They remind me of NakeyJakey without the yoga ball. Can't wait for the next one!

i remember my first memory of the wii my mom coming home with it and immediately started playing yoga and talking about how cool it is while i just watched

Love the direction you’re taking the channel Aztro, keep it up.

glad to see views are up a bit, making quality videos pays off, good job astroneer

I got to play Wii Bowling with my mom, dad, and grandparents once. It was pretty neat to have a console where you didn't have to explain controls to everyone in order to use it.

I absolutely loved the virtual console on the wii, I remember being so excited to get Wii points and I'd spend hours browsing through old titles before I made a purchase! I credit the Wii for giving me an appreciation for classic games and it's a shame the virtual console has never been as good on any newer systems

There was also new super mario bros wii, we were four on our family so we all played together and we 100% completed the game. It was so much fun, I think it was the first mario where you could play with others at the same time. And you could grab people and kill them. Good times

Literally my second or first ever console was the Wii. I remember having so much fun playing Wipeout 3 and Wii Sports Resort on it (WSR was my favortie). I think I played hours upon that thing. Though it's getting old and might not even work anymore. But I love that thing so much; so many good memories.

That music nearly made me overdose on nostalgia. Wii sports and Wii play will forever be some of my favorite games ever. I still have my Wii console in good condition and hope to one day play it again. Teaching my little cousins how to play it is going to be fun.

This video made me dig up my old Wii, thank you so much.

why do i always feel such a big amount of joy when i see the old man smile in 9:16 like its just so wholesome seeing the big guy laughing at him with an afro

i am absolutely loving this new style of astrosist videos

Despite me mainly playing the 2 wii sports games and the wii party. This video connects with me so much, thank u for this nostalgic treat.

These videos always makes our days better

why are all of ur videos so good wtfff

Aztrosist you will always be one of my favorites.

on the picture with all the shovelware there was DeBlob which was my childhood, I beat that game probably 4 times, it was just so colorful and fun

6:26 de blob absolutely does not deserve so be called shovelware, that game was awesome

dude I actually got so excited when you started playing the menu songs

The part of the music from the games is pretty accurate. I love to listen to wii OSTs when im just online talking with friends and it always gives me a sense of comfort

Man Nintendo’s a chump for discontinuing this machine

The wii is legitimately in my opinion the best console to play with friends. Yeah cod and halo are fun to play on the ps and xbox, but if you want wacky fun, the wii has an uncountable number of games to choose and mess around with

I have thousands of memories playing Wii sports and the multiple lego games like the complete saga

I still remember getting this for Christmas years ago and playing tennis against my dad in Wii Sports. Good times

Thank you, just thank you for this video Aztrosist. I don't really know what to say, but thank you for reminding me of this past we all share.

I remember getting super smash brothers brawl for a birthday. My mom specifically told my aunt Lauren not to get it for me since it was “T for teen” but did my badass aunt listen?? No. Forever grateful for that

I love how you can hear the genuine passion for the wii in your voice

My jam was playing Pokemon Battle Revolution. Taking my favorites from Diamond, Platinum, Heartgold and putting them onto the big screen was awesome.

6:25 in disbelief that de blob is being counted as shovelware garbage

Go Vacation was my family’s favorite game on the Wii. It’s like a Wii Sports with more things you can do in the game world.

I love Mario Kart Wii so much that I still play it to this day, trying to do human ultra shortcuts and mostly failing but I love doing it because I know that I can get that satisfying feeling of completing an ultra shortcut without funky Kong. I hope in the next few years to get a pc with better specs than my one, get a better Av to hdmi converter with a good capture card, download Wiimfi and play Mario Kart Wii online like the good old days of 2012 - 2014

Man I wish I could go back and relive the 2000's, things were so much better!

I used my Wii to cast KZfaq to the TV until the DAY they shut off that capability. It sucked but we didn't have a smart TV and being able to watch youtube videos on the TV was crazy to me, even though it was 2016. I think a part of me died the day I opened the KZfaq Wii channel to see that Nintendo no longer supported the service.

bro went from shitpost to literally scott the woz

The wii was really simple and at the time I knew nothing better to play that allowed me to stand up or just shake my arms around. Then have sore arms the next day. We even still play it today at our college. The switch kind of gives that feeling back but not entirely. I also really want play mats to return though for adventure fitness games.

At its peak, I’m pretty sure every one I knew had a Wii in their house. I still go over to the houses of friends and family and see their Wii’s tucked deep into their entertainment system next to old vcr’s. Literally EVERYONE was playing the Wii

1:08 man.. holy crap just gotta slap my childhood in the balls like that

man this channel is so underated, only 48 likes !!!

Nostalgia aside, a lot of the wii games are still teally fun

I remember that Christmas too Parents had the “got one of the lady ones” at toys r us story We went on a little skiing and snowboarding trip and I just wanted to play Wii the whole time lol Also remember getting some death note manga… my parents were great

I still have my original wii and i love it . i only have two games tho but is enough

there was a certain look and feel to it that modern things can never do. that's why i respect it so much.

For me the Wii is kinda like when a small indie pop band starts making mainstream music to become more popular, however they lost all those casual fans real quick and there hardcore fans didn't like this new kind of music, so they left. However now people are looking back on those songs with nostalgia, yeah that's basically the Wii in a nutshell.

You just basically define my childhood. The Wii wasn't an xbox 360, but it was fun.

Pikmin 2 on the wii is one memories I had

Nintendo Wii: Popular console with wholesome games fun for the whole family. Also Nintendo Wii: Sells grisly, violent action cult classics like No More Heroes and MadWorld.

holy shit aztrosist got 450k+ subs now. congrats

I unfortunately never had a Wii growing up. But I did fortunately got to play with one whenever I visited a friend or relative that had one. I DID however had a WiiU, but that thing wasn’t as fun and I experienced why it flopped 😭

Epic Mickey is GOATED bro, don't forget that one

Thank you Aztrosist

Had a Wii gifted to me back in 2009ish by my uncle. First and last console I ever owned. (Unless you count Chinese consoles that played Nes/snes game cartridges) Still the best designed Console imo. Such a simple and compact design. My parents have always hated video games. So I had Crack and softmodded my wii to run games off a USB stick. My favorite Wii games would be RE4, Wii Sports, Twilight Princess, No more heroes, Madworld, Xenoblade. Also played COD games on it. Spent countless hours making Miis Yes it was much weaker than the Ps3/360 and the motion controls were janky it didn't bother me much. I still have my Wii and it works just fine.

The will was the very first game console i got and oh man do i have nostalgia for it, did i suck at it because i was very small, oh heck yeah, but i still loved it

I got pokemon battle revolution as a handmedown from a cousin. I got so into it my parents took it away from me for a year. Kind of a weird first pokemon game but i adore it to this day.

Video suggestion: If Aztrosist ran EA (and how he would fix them)

Whenever I went to my neighbor's house we'd play smash brawl and because we were both annoying 7 or 8 year olds we would just button mash as meta knight and scream at each other until one of us fell off the map. Some of my fondest memories were formed that way.

Aztro I need a list of the music you use in every video

This is the genre of video I want iv dripped into my veins

I played Meta Knight in Brawl, where do I redeem my meal?

when the brawl theme played i almost cried lmfao

the good old days

so sad to see your videos not doing numbers they deserve

Love this video but putting de blob on shovelware is insane

As a french, I laughed really hard at the wii oui 🤣

GOAT WIT THE LONG FORM CONTENT??

Bro I love smash bros brawl that campaign was amazing

watching him choke in mario kart at the beginning was painful

My horse and me sounds appealing to elementary school girls with horse obsessions . But after watching it be played it has the player going in circles and causing dizziness to watch .

Coconut mall was bumped in my house for too many hours man

banger video as per usual

I still use the Everybody Votes Channel so much thanks to RiiConnect24. It's great to have all those channels up and working again, since I grew up with them. Got my Wii for Christmas in 2007, and I still have the same one 15 years later. I love my Wii console so much, and I still get a lot of use out of it.

Why were my eyes immediately drawn to the homebrew channel

super paper mario was a masterpeice

Super Mario galaxy was and is one of my favorite games

Feels funny watching this with my Wii on rn

Nice Playdate reference.
