Midas is one of the 9 Wii U lovers world wide :D
The Wii U is one of Nintendo’s most infamous consoles, remembered as both a commercial failure and the foundation for the Switch’s success. But how did a system with great exclusives, unique hardware, and major Nintendo franchises struggle so much? In this video, we take a deep dive into the rise, fall, and legacy of the Wii U, covering its launch struggles, best and worst games, marketing missteps, and how it set the stage for the Nintendo Switch. From Super Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8 to Splatoon and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, we explore everything that made the Wii U a console ahead of its time—just with the wrong execution.
Whether you owned a Wii U or just watched from the sidelines, this video gives a full retrospective on the console’s history. We break down what went right, what went wrong, and why so many of its best games ended up being ported to the Switch. If you love Nintendo history, underrated consoles, or deep gaming analysis, this is a must-watch.
