Probably quadruple at minimum, Switch has 70 million sales in 3 years, Wii U had 18 million is 5 years. All they had to do was name it Wii 2. I had the Wii U since 2015, and I didn't know it wasn't a regular Wii until a year ago. I also don't like how some games force you to use the touchpad. Dr Luigi forces you to use touchpad for player 1 for no reason, as a Dr. Mario junkie this is annoying. Star Fox is awesome on Wii U, but an option to play without motion aiming would have been nice. Wii U is my favorite and I would love a touchpad for Switch, I love having inventory on the tablet.

@@spellchanger1169 Yeah, I found out it was a separate console around when the Switch was launching, because I wanted a Guitar Hero game for Wii, and on Ebay, one of them said it only worked for Wii U, not Wii. I got angry, but ended up getting a Wii U cheap (when everyone else was getting the Switch) and loving it. So much that I got a backup console and gamepad (plus I have one for my room, and one for the living room)! 😆

@@scramblesthedeathdealer Wow nice, I think they will hold their value. I feel like console will hold or go up in value, and games will stay cheap. Because slowly the consoles will die as touchpads die.

For sure. Nintendo didn't do the console any favors from a marketing stand point. Our guess is it's going to be highly collectable at some point. The low install base......ya things could get crazy. Cheers!

@@spellchanger1169 I gotta agree with you on most of that. I got my daughter a Wii U about 6 months ago (for her mother's house), and I told her to take good care of it, *especially* the gamepad, because they will probably become scarce one day, and thus, more valuable. She's only 10, but totally understood the concept (so much so that she isn't even upset about not having a Switch, because her Wii U is way more rare 🤣).

Agree. Honestly my favorite gaming channel. 👏

Dang guys, thank you so much. We really appreciate it. It's a damn grind on this platform for small creators. Always good to hear when folks enjoy the vids. Cheers!

Just like the Wii U itself

@@GamingOffTheGrid You both are doing something right. Great content, production quality is great and improving, good length, topics and so on. Just a suggestion, have you guys ever considered doing retrospective videos on your favorite games or series of all time?

Agree

Underrated for sure! Cheers to the Wii U!

@@GamingOffTheGrid I still have my wiiu system hooked up to my tv

Interesting. Never gave Wii Fit U a look. Had the first one but that sounds very unique. If I see it out and about I'll snag it. Cheers!

The "cake cafe" minigame is amazing!

It's epic for sure. Love that damn game. Cheers!

Very cool! Glad you are enjoying those. The good ol' Wii is a light gun monster for sure. Cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid Do you know if the light gun needs the motion plus controller? I can't find any info on this. I have the original controllers with the motion plus extensions but looking at the pics, it looks like the extended controllers won't fit. Thanks in advance!

Ya a lot of folks know the spike is coming. That game will be worth a shit load some day. Sealed especially. We have another copy sealed. I'm tempted to get it graded. Not to sell but just for a cool display piece as it's one of our favorite games. Thanks a ton for watching and cheers to the Wii U!

Damn straight it is. So unique. Honestly never have played a game like it which is saying a lot. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!

Don't ask how we forgot to mention that game. We've talked about it alot on the channel and for this episode we just spaced it. No physical release over here be we got it from the eShop. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!

Awesome to hear! Glad you found us. Cheers to the Wii U!

@@GamingOffTheGrid I own Wiiu since 2014. Best console.

Very cool. Glad you are liking the vids. Always good to hear that type of feedback. Much appreciated. Cheers!

Great info. Kirby is one of the last games on our list of wants for the system. Still gotta track that one down. Cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid wouldn't recommend it as a multiplayer game. It's all structured over the limited Kirby movement and multiplayer kinda ruins it. In singleplayer it's a great Kirby game with a beatiful artstyle! Sadly that artstyle is overshadowrd by the fact yoy play at the Gamepad entirely. Great video btw

Thanks man! We really appreciate the support. It's a grind as a small channel let me tell ya. Cheers!

Thanks man! Such a fun time to collect for this system. We are thoroughly enjoying it.

LOL! Might be the first time we've been called classy in our lives but damn it feels nice :). Cheers!

It's our favorite console to collect for right now by far. We pretty much have every game that we want for it so gonna have to shift our focus soon. But we put a lot of miles on our Wii U. Such an underrated machine. Cheers!

Very cool! Glad you are enjoying it. Such an underrated console. Glad you are enjoying the content. Stay warm up there. We are in the heart of Winter in Iowa as well. Probably doesn't compare to Alaska though. Cheers!

Thanks a ton for checking out the channel. It was a great opportunity to work with MJR. He's always been really good to us. Glad you're enjoying the vids. Cheers!

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks a ton for watching and cheers to the Wii U!

Thanks a ton man! We really appreciate it. Cheers!

Thanks! We really enjoy the Wii U alot! Cheers!

We completely agree! Such an underrated console in the grand scheme! Cheers!

If you could use the Switch Lite in the same way as the Wii U Gamepad that would be a gamechanger.

Glad you enjoyed! Cheers to the Wii U 🍻

Thanks a ton! Hit it this afternoon. Pretty remarkable. Crazy that there are that many folks who care about our craziness lol. Cheers!

Hell ya it is. So much damn fun to play multiplayer. Very underrated. Store were damn near giving it away a while back.

Damn it! How the hell did we forget that???? We kept thinking of games as we were filming but some how that didn't pop into our mind. Probably because it's on our external and wasn't in front of our face lol. Cheers!

Thanks for your love and support!

Glad you enjoyed! Gotta love the Wii U :). We are big fans. Cheers!

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed. Cheers to the good ol' Wii U!

Definitely an awesome feature man. It's like drawing plays up in the dirt :). Cheers!

So damn glad you introduced us to that game. Forever grateful :). Cheers!

Dang man......idk about that. Long road ahead lol. Greatly appreciate the vote of confidence though. We shall see how things play out. Cheers!

Have played the game.....but not on the Wii U. Gonna have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation. Cheers!

Awesome! Thanks for stopping by. Much appreciated. You are spot on with the Wii U. In the not so distant future this thing will be highly collectable for sure and the market for it we'll get crazy. That's our prediction. Cheers!

Gaming Off The Grid I just added Rayman Legends, Batman Armored, and Affordable Space Adventures to my library. I always appreciate guys like you who point out ones I missed even if I have it on another system. I’ve been seriously collecting for it the last few years and with the mods and Nintendont I got all the hits fir the Wii and GameCube backed up on hard drives, SD cards and USB drives plus one has all the handhelds and old school stuff through retroarch. This thing really does all things past from Nintendo and much of it isn’t emulation at least for the GameCube and up. Plus with the Smash Bros adapter I can use all GameCube controllers like my wavebirds and bongos without a hitch. Tech support across KZfaq is solid and helpful.

Hot take but we like it! It's our favorite console to collect for right now and we've been playing the hell out of it. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!

2nd for me

The thing for me is that it is such a unique experience that cannot be replicate by anyother console and you can still play wii games that has some unique experience by its own. So for me it is the perfection of gaming and fun.

Very true! Actually forgot about that one! Cheers!

It does indeed. TP uses it about the same. You'll enjoy for sure. Thanks for watching and cheers to the Wii U!

Love this version. The tablet takes the experience to the next level. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

Yesir! Cheers to the Wii U!

LOL! Nice. Cheers to that!

Definitely. 5-10 years out the Wii U will be highly collectable we believe. Time will tell. Glad we have most of what we want already :). Cheers!

Thank you taking the time to reply to my comment. You two are some awesome dudes and love what you upload. I don't know if you have it already, but RUNBOW is one of my fav party wii u games. It's pretty awesome that you can have 9 different people in one room all playing at once with some fun characters from other indie games. Also cars 3 is actaully kinda fun and I'm not even a fan of the movie it's based on.

Thanks for the info. We weren't sure on that one. Still need to play it at some point. Cheers!

Yeah it’s a good game ain’t as good as city tho

Lmfao!!!! Yesir!!!

@@GamingOffTheGrid I fn knew I loved you guys for a reason, actually many! You guys should have so many more subs. Gaming, comedy, great advice....and ya drink a beer at the end...fn genius! Keep 'em coming please!

We have multiple videos up about the Wii U E shop closing and what games to snag! Hope you check them out! Cheers!

We actually havent played that but you are right it does look good! We need to fire it up! Cheers!

Hell ya! Cheers to that! Tons of fun to be had with that console. So underrated in our opinion. Cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid absolutely! WiiU+New3dsXL and you have 25+years of Nintendo's library. I just ordered a New3dsXL from ebay. Prior to gamecube Ive all the roms, for the gamecube Ive 200gb of games. Wii 1.5extrrnal HD full. WiiU 1.5 TB not full yet. And soon will star the DS+3ds collection. My GF says that I spend more time looking for games to play than actually playing them xD. Sad but true !

Oh yes! That is a good one. We knew we didn't think of all of them :). Cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid you got most of them lol I’m sure there’s some I’m forgetting 🤷🏻‍♂️

We frickin forgot Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water. How? No clue. We love that game. Idiots I tell ya lol

@@GamingOffTheGrid Wii Sports Club and Wii Fit U also were quite good. Lego City another fun one!

Pad doesn't work as well with Origins as it does in City. City f'n nailed it for sure. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

Never experienced Legends on another console. Definitely can imagine it being way different. Love the 2 screen mechanic. Would have been nice if the Switch could do that even for some games. Cheers!

It's pretty badass man. Not the best version but the hot route feature makes it super fun. Cheers!

Thanks a ton! Glad you enjoyed. Cheers!

Dang, not sure how that one slipped my mind. We knew we forgot Fatal Frame but totally spaced Xenoblade. Awesome game. Still have yet to finish. Have about 100 hours in and then put it down. At this point I'd probably have to start over to know what the hell I was doing lol. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid I’m close to 100 hours myself. I’ve barely scratched the surface.

Interesting! Never got the chance to play it! 🍻

Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed. Cheers to the Wii U!

Hell of a deal. They were damn near giving the combo pack away at one point. It will be funny to see the prices climb some day. Cheers!

That is a great idea. It would take some research on our end as we haven't played a ton of games that use it but it can be done :)

That would be interesting. To me it's always a mystery if a game will use the Touchpad, Mic or the Gyro and many times I'm just using the Touchpad to skip intros/outros when watching DVDs/Blu-Rays instead of using the D-Pad/Analog stick or the menu to skip because I find it fun to use and to remind myself it's there and not just a big Select button like 90% of games it seems as Share takes it's place. That or using the Touchpad for the PSTV with certain Vita games. Games like Last of Us 2 used the Touchpad for Guitar which was interesting, and Killzone Shadowfall had interesting uses of the Touchpad with the Robot companion in some levels, no clue if either those or Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy use Gyro aim as Uncharted Golden Abyss on the Vita uses Gyro aiming so I assume the same idea carried over? I've never noticed it so maybe not. I'd have to look that up. Infamous using the gyro for the spray can was really creative, I don't know about the Touchpad as I never played them I just know from a friend. Nier Automata I think used both halves of the Touchpad for your inventory/some other quick menu access which I've not seen any game do otherwise and I always remember as I know the touchpad as the same quadrant uses as the Vita even if not for L2/L3/R2/R3 on the PS4 compared to the Vita or whatever a Developer set as an input. Wonderful101 Remastered uses the Touchpad to move the inventory screen which was originally on the Wii U Gamepad, now on TV around or toggling it the second screen on and off, while there is Gyro that appears in the inside building areas of the game. While originally a Wii U game they really made good use of the Dualshock 4's features and I think the Switch version probably does as well and is besides the audience I think is why the game isn't on the Xbox One is because it doesn't have those features and they didn't want to remap inputs to menus and many buttons. I don't own Wonderful101 on Wii U but I can tell how they made it work on PS4, which even Zombi on other platforms just looks off without the Wii U Gamepad moving the HUD elements off the TV and the tension of the game not pausing when looking in your inventory is so great, I don't know if it pauses on PS4/Xbox One but if it does I think that would ruin the atmosphere. Either way any footage would be fine. I'd want to see a video on Touchpad/Gyro/Mic features of the Dualshock 4. I'd have to look at a few lists myself just to see what's listed by articles as I'm curious now what few games actually use the Dualshock 4's features that I may have forgotten/overlooked and with the Wii U and Wii I remember easy which support it, the PS3 only launch titles and certain later ones I remember like LittleBIgPlanet's movement of the hands, but for PS4 I barely remember many at all other than launch titles and the later ones I own that made me remember the features exist, and besides swiping when watching a DVD/Blu-Ray of course.

Too bad Sony didn't do more integration w/the Vita as a controller. It was so cool with Little Big Planet 2 on the PS3 and Vita. Had so much potential. Guess the Vita being a failure (in Sony's eyes) didn't help)

@@tsunamirider9895 It is sad. Having the Remote Play with actual controls besides Touch or the Phone and Controller is great, crosssave/crossbuy/crossplay with mostly Indies I think was cool and Second Screen but not much else I think. I don't have many examples but Outrun 2006 for PSP&PS2 with cross save, Resistance 2 on PS3 with a PSP playing Resistance Retribution can apply an Infection mode that makes the game harder I think (only tested not replayed the game this way and the feature turns off after you quit the game/battery needs charging I think), Wip3out Pulse on PSP and Wip3out HD on PS3 there is a Game Share feature (never used but its on the box/in the Pulse game's manual,) and the few games that offered Remote Play for it were fewer but still a start. Never tried LBP2 and Move/Vita, might have to try that sometime. The PSP got some really cool uses like I said so its sad the Vita didn't as much besides furthering a few features due to more power the system had and whatever they wanted to market on a wider scale that they kind of tried. The Vita just ended up a Second Screen (like the PSP did for general PS3 menu access) and Remote Play but no HDMI out (besides the PSTV of course) it seems (as far as I know at least). I get the lack of sales and they tried many times but customers were over it due to its obvious flaws or they didn't have any ideas/money/time worth wasting potential (they could have just remarketed either their big games like Nintendo does, casual ones in 2014 or AA Japanese games or the few AAA ports that were the hits on the system and target that audience even if small they still are a sizeable one) on it for developing cool concepts other than Remote Play in almost every PS4 game I assume. At least it has its own good library and some features rather than nothing though (silverlining). But still sad. I hope the rumoured/plans of the PSP5G (a patent and brief info, no concrete name of course) turns out better but who knows. I wish it to be Vita backwards compatible but I doubt it (would make more sense then UMD to add support for and I assume would be easy to add).

Very cool and great info. We picked that one up recently but have yet to play it. Really looking forward to it though. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid I'll warn you now, it's weird. It could just as easily be called "Japanese Pop-Culture: The Video Game" because it's the most Japan thing I've seen.

Holy shit!!! Caught them slipping hard. Well done. Cheers!

Found it on con actually! Not sure what site id recommend to find one! Cheers!

Epic for sure. Best version of the game. Always have loved the art style of that game. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!

It is great for local multiplayer which is becoming a dying breed these days sadly. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!

LOL! Thanks for watching and cheers to the Wii U!

Love lego city. I've been playing it recently. Wiiu is super under appreciated. It has great games. And I have a Switch system.

@@jaguar4120 it's still the best version of that game. The switch version doesn't even come close

@@cecilsgames845 Yeah. Plus the Switch version seems like a downgrade in graphics.

@@jaguar4120 yep. I'm a gamer and I agree with that they are saying about the console I had one when they came out got broke got a second one and it's gone so this my third Wii u and it's not going anywhere. And I enjoy all consoles all the way to ps5 back to nes . Just Xbox is my least fav

Lmfao 😂

@@GamingOffTheGrid I've been playing my Wii U a lot lately, such a fun console.

Fun as hell for sure. We love the hoard mode! Good times. Cheers!

And the multiplayer is so cool

Oh I've heard it a few times. Better than Ricky Gervais which I get a lot lol! Cheers!

Love us some Wii U man! So underappreciated. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!

Boom! Thanks a ton for watching!

Hell ya it is. Such a fun pick up and play party style game. We love it. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

Hell ya! I need to jump on there again one of these days. Cheers!
