The Wii’s *Awful* Prototypes

Wii are so thankful for this wonderful console being Wii-leased!

you meen nes dum ass

I like how when the Wii came out.

Xbox created a Wireless Steering wheel that uses Motion Control.

And Sony, making their DualShock 3 with Gyroscopes.

did u know that the nun-chuck has motion control too?

I have one once before but unfortunately it was broken

after this dropped, playstation tried to backtrack and copied the wii lol

“Are wii gonna have a problem?”

Very british voice

Revolution is also codename for wii

nontondo

I have two Wii Pro controllers, except one is a third party knock off. A lot of early shooters were controlled with airplane style controls, pressing down to look up etc, and the people who made the knock off thought users would have an improved experience if they rewired the controller itself to behave the way we would expect today. This means that my two controllers are really hard to use together at once, because multiplayer is never fair!

But seriously. If they didn’t decide to have older games on the console. A lot of accessories for the wii wouldn’t even exist!

Wii is just a repacked Gamecube😗

The Wii sold a lot of hardware, but consoles mostly sat and collected dust, because 99% of the library was shovelware. It did not have anywhere near the software sales of most consoles.

I love seeing how dumb stuff looks like in the brain storming stages. It's good to keep in mind when working on your own stuff to not get discouraged.

If it wasn't for the Wii and resident evil 4 I wouldn't be a gamer today

Type Wii if you're still playing the Wii

pre wiis 😆

I feel like this host is a videogame historian

Nintendo were not the first to adopt motion controls. Microsoft released the sidewinder freestyle pro gamepad in 1998.

it is unfortunate to see where nintendo is at at this very moment of April 2023... the Wii and the DSi were really... and not exaggeratively, consoles that gave me hope... but now, here they are f--king over the consumers they always tried to appeal to... big sad.

NEW Nintendo Landmine KIT :D

Do they all share the same building, office, and executive team?

A video about Nintendo prototypes, I saw the first prototype after 7 minutes of introduction and history...

You don't have to point out the Wii's prototypes were awful. Anything leading up to such a trash console is going to be awful.

One more comment ,what type of person will play on cheddar cheese

by the way I don't have a Wii but I have a Wii u

just when I thought Sony's PS3 controller the boomerang was hilarious, now I learned about the cheddar cheese controller from Nintendo🤣

I do adore game history videos 😊

i got a working wii that worked and wasnt broken for 50 bucks

I have 3 will,s and they all work still with super Mario bros and more.

"The console would have to be small" considering you can fit a Wii inside a game boy we can confidently say that they nailed that part

There was one that was just a hammer and sickle called “We”

Is it true that the wii is easy as all hell to mod

steve baller 😁🤜🔴

much love to the 1 xbox team worker who apologised for the teams rudeness

I actually really enjoyed this video, fantastic work!

Fun fact, Microsoft debuted the Sidewinder Freestyle Pro motion control in 1998. It was mainly targeted to be used in Microsoft flight simulator for flight controls.

Ahhh Pre Gamergate Gaming

I literally love the wii fight me on it i will win

Ye but why did they choose discs, was that part of the whole family thing

I truly respect and appreciate N pursuing the masses, and simplifying to appeal to everyone. BUT. I reeeeally prefer a normal controller to a TV remote. And I hate motion controls.

I just got off the wii 😂

The history of the ancestors of Nintendo switch

Xbox laughed him out. Sony fell asleep. Wii green lit his idea and became the highest selling console of all time selling more than ps2. At that moment they knew they f'ed up so they scrambled around like chickens with there heads cut off and did there very beat to do what they already did best. Copy Nintendo

I cant believe I’ve held off this video for 3 years and just git it back in my recommendations. Good thing cuz now im watching it
