Nintendo Wii BUYING GUIDE & Best Games - Collector Help

metal Jesus here and I am back again with Casey how's it going dude pretty good dude it's awesome having you here on the channel because we're doing a we buying guide and when I was thinking about the people who'd be perfect for this well there was only one name and that name was you because you own all of the Wii games yeah I do and today we're going to talk about all the console variations the accessories that you can pick up for the Wii some of the rare titles and a handful of games that we selected for day one purchases there's gonna be an awesome video you guys gonna love it let's take a look all right this is the original wheat and this is my personal original way that's why it's all beat up but it's got a lot of gameplay in it and when it first came out it was 2006 during the holiday season and it was so popular that people were waiting in line remember that yeah right yeah people were going crazy trying to resell them and I am for like a thousand dollars or something the thing is it was 250 bucks when it first came out and before selling it for 500 hundred dollars it was crazy cuz Nintendo's plan was make something that was family-oriented right something that your grandma can pick up and play right right so eventually people started getting these and they were like wow this is amazing and there were shortages yeah I remember that actually that's funny on purpose who knows yeah well so the first model is one of my favorites because it is the one that will play GameCube games right yeah exactly um so you had an instant library of 500 games because it played all the GameCube titles and the cool thing is has all four GameCube ports two memory card slots yeah so it's perfect yeah definitely huh that's cool now how does this hold up though I mean is it that's your original business to play yeah it does it still reads disks doesn't have any problems with that it came bundled with the Wii Sports right still one of the best games for the system because everybody can just pick up and play yeah yeah definitely a perfect packing right just yeah anybody can played have a lot of fun now how about as far as connecting it to like your television like what are the the video houses like that um it came with composite cables so get RCA cables so that that's the that's just a yellow right yeah just the yellow red and white but you can upgrade to component round so you can have I believe 480p on this yeah which looks pretty decent on a modern HD television so yeah but you can actually upgrade to the Wii to HDMI and this is a third party adapter essentially yeah after that you can just plug in the back and then you plug in your HDMI cable in here you showed me this and I immediately wanted one I had no idea something like that existed it's so cheap it's like five to ten but oh I'm so buying one now that is awesome so okay so the original model had obviously full game key support did it always have that or what the other models have well the other model let's talk about that so this is the blue it we and this got released in 2011 okay and it was titled the family edition oh I've seen that name okay and it was released during the holiday season again and I think they did that so that they can have a cheaper week because this did not come with a stand so they saved it like a dollar yeah and it didn't have GameCube compatibility oh so you can't open this this flip-top no ports and another thing is all the labels they're horizontal so it's meant to stand like this I play it that's a good point actually is that the we originally would would be either-or right like vertical which seemed like almost the way to do it like when ad would show it on camera the wheat would be vertical exactly and that's why it came with a stand yeah the original we came out okay interesting and so okay so the family Edition they got rid of all the GameCube stuff to save money but as far as everything else it still works and plays the same yeah it still has the SD card slot still has Internet connectivity okay just no GameCube compatibility and then a couple years later they surprised everyone and released this movie Mini yeah and it's not that much smaller than the we've I mean if you compare the two the same height the same width yeah it's just an inch shorter in length why do you think they did this on what was changed about it the thing is it has that retro factor it does I don't really think I'm from the 70s or early 80s isn't it yeah and it has a top loader which a lot of companies do I mean we're at the end of a consoles life maybe to save money maybe to cut it on a wear and tear I don't know exactly it's a little bit lighter and it's missing a lot of features one of them being the ability to connect to the internet but okay so that's really weird because obviously Nintendo had a ton of success with the Wii Virtual Console right I mean why would they do that to save like a dollar now this is my guess this was a Canadian exclusive Oh in 2012 it was released in Canada for like $100 I remember that because I couldn't buy it here right yeah and I was bummed out because I really wanted this but little did I know it was missing a lot of features okay and I believe the reason is they have some cottages in Canada where there's no internet connection I see so it's best to just buy one of these leave it there yeah so it's a vacation home yes is it almost like for hope well not hotels but yeah like little vacation things interesting huh yeah and there's other features missing there's no SD slot okay so you also it's and your memory but it has internal for probably the storage exactly okay and the other thing is there's only one USB port and back oh okay huh I didn't maybe that effects games likes a rock band or something like that right correct huh and if you want to connect on a hard drive to the back right I mean you're using up a slot huh okay so not a great console but it's out there if you run across it yeah and also there's no GameCube backwards compatibility that's another such a bummer I know okay well that is the console let's take a look at the accessories all right well let's start with the original controller well this is the original controller this is the Wii mote and the nunchuck and you would just connect the nunchuck to the bottom of the Wii mote and the cool thing about the Wii mote besides the fact that it's a motion sensor is there's a little little speaker here that's right so when you're swinging it you can have a little sound effect yeah some people don't like that but I think it's a little quirky I like it yeah we and that's the other thing that we should probably mention is that there is a Wii bar that attaches to the Wii that sits in front of your television so you will need that if you grab what we exactly if you buy one from the garage so make sure it does have that mini censor bar because you need it to use the Wiimote the other thing is interesting about that we from playing games is also that a lot of them were sort of these motion you know but a lot of them just simply said hey turn it sideways and it works as a pretty functional old-school controller yeah and that's the cool thing about it because um they really made it family-oriented so yeah there's all the old school players they want to play games like this they don't want to be swinging the Wiimote and hitting on a TV yeah exactly so this is the first version now what's really interesting about it though is that when the motion tracking came out it was it was good but it was limited for sure exactly and so what they released is the Wii MotionPlus adapter right so this thing's call correct yeah which is basically it gives more functionality to that controller yeah and it's an attachment that came out it was like 20 or 25 dollars but you would just attach it to the bottom mm-hmm and you could still having trouble attached but I think it's got little buttons on the side yeah once you attach it there you go you can also attach the nunchuck controller to the bottom yeah what it does is it makes it clunky it's yeah long and cubed it's not as elegant is it exact and they and I even have like these gel things that are extra long and so like that and it's like yeah but it does help with the the turn and the gyroscopic motion of the Wiimote because of this added catchment and there were some games that definitely take advantage of it the one that comes to my mind is real is it real steel or something like that yeah yours little too right and it's light years better than the original game it just seems much more sort of one-to-one movement correct same with a Skyward Sword right right but then later they of course integrated that yes and it is a much better design in a couple ways and so you don't have the extra attachment and also in the back there's a sync button that you can just press outside of the week oh that's right because when you're going to sync these controllers you have to it's in the battery compartment is yes you got to open the back got a press a button but this is so much better you just press it on the outside huh that's cool and there's several variations of this controller now this is a little rubber and attachment here though right correct is for grip what exactly and then most of it does come with these additional we covers especially when you get the Mario Luigi Princess Peach one icing okay and there's also a Zelda one that came with Skyward Sword okay I remember people freaking out about that yeah that was rare that's cool so that's the the normal controller but then Nintendo also released a bunch of controllers kind of I mean why do you think it did so what is that right there this is the Wii classic controller okay and the purpose of this is for games that you want to use for virtual consoles maybe some WiiWare games ends that don't use the motion control don't you think that Nintendo in some ways was perhaps surprised by the success of the Wii Virtual Console you know because I'm they put out hundreds if not thousands of games on that I mean it did really well it did and that's that's just so much money for them because they don't have to release physical cop right it's just straight downloads yeah and this is the perfect controller for it because it's kind of like a Super Nintendo controller so it has that old nostalgic feel to it it's very comfortable yeah huh but they improved upon it when they released the pro controller Pro in my opinion it's better because it's more ergonomic it looks like a an Xbox 360 controller almost yeah that or a ps2 but yeah those are excellent can twelve sure absolutely and one thing is it's the analog sticks are spread out a little bit further compared to the classical is it okay interesting so it has a really good feel to it even the top buttons does that have any motion built into it no okay so it's simply just for playing you know normal games I guess is what you'd say yeah and it came out with Monster Hunter Tri I believe ok bundled with that huh ok and then you mentioned earlier that there were these kind of snap-on adapter things for for the Wii mote right yeah and this is this is the Wii wheel and you would simply take the Wiimote and just insert it and it becomes a totally new controller yeah it it's fun for racing games because you could just hold it and like mario turn yeah exactly yeah and then also there was like say the Wii zapper because like in games are awesome on the Wii by the way yeah they are and so that was kind of similar thing where you snap it in there and we don't have the Wii zapper here but you've got something I think it's even cooler yeah this is cool this is the Cabela's a big-game hunter shotgun it's awesome just like you know Oh hold your shoulder that's killer any other accessories out there I mean we mentioned sort of like the third-party ones but yeah there's a bunch of nerf accessories where you could attach a tennis racket or a baseball bat okay or boxing gloves to your rhinos alright and we have the Wii Fit which came packaged with the Wii Balance Board this was huge right yeah it was a huge success yeah in the Guinness Book of World Records it was like the number one selling scale Oh oh really yeah but it's a game peripheral not really a scale but this game that came packaged with it it came with 30 different fun activities it would test your strength your balance your flexibility yeah things like that and it would calculate your BMI index your body mass index now and I haven't played this clearly much when you have you done this before yeah and so do you use the remote or the Wii mode as well with it or yes you can there's actually a weak Fit Plus version where you really use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk along with the balance board okay huh that's cool and you also find those all the time like in your store person yeah and you can find them for two to five dollars yeah I mean ten dollars at the most yeah but there's other games that the balance board uses one of them which is a really good title is punch-out it uses it how does it do that well you could use it with just the Wii mote and Russia okay or just the Wii mote itself but you could integrate the Wii Balance Board and use it to duck to dodge left and right Oh interests out its measuring like your movement exactly cool huh and there are some bad examples including Super Monkey Ball step and roll it's on fat yep and roll it is so hard to control it with the we balanced board by that tight oh okay so you're you're like moving the plane essentially the the environment exactly your track you're trying to move the the monkey ball but if you're using the balance board it's just too tight for terms huh so it's hard to collect all the bananas it's hard to progress through the levels yeah now when I showed up here in our in the spot you had a bike yeah and that is the we cyber bike cyber bike hmm it came packaged with cyber bike cycle sports and the cool thing about this is when it first came out it was only sold on the QVC Shopping Network so it's really hard fine okay I didn't get it right away I searched for a couple years and eventually I got one via trade okay yeah um it's an amazing piece but it's only meant for this game yeah I mean it takes up so much room yeah so you go around the world collecting trash in this game but there's also an exercise mode so you could just cycle see having to store that as punishment for trying to go for a complete collection isn't it yeah that was too funny alright well that is some of the accessories let's check out some of the more rare or collectible games all right let's talk about just a handful maybe three games that are pretty rare so if you go out garage saleing or at their stores and you find this for cheap like 5 10 bucks pick it up because it is hard to find games like xenoblade chronicles yeah this was a Game Stop exclusive which makes it tough to find right and it's a Japanese RPG game with 70 plus hours of gameplay so it's definitely worth it hmm another one another RPG strategy type game is Fire Emblem radiant dawn these games are really fun yeah they're really good quality even for all the previous Nintendo system yeah so there's a good following for that game and lastly you'll be surprised but my horse and me riding for gold yeah you mentioned it something like what yeah it's made by Atari and I don't know why but it is a really rare inexpensive title huh well it's crazy yeah all right and then now at the end here let's get into some games that we recommend you pick up the day one yeah all right first one is called spyborgs it's made by capcom and it's a beat'em up game yeah the cool thing about this is there's massive bosses and there's two-player co-op options at all yeah so it's a really cheap game 5 to $10 so definitely pick it up if you find it now does this support the classic controller or seems like it would no and unfortunately it doesn't ok so maybe now is a good time to point out that on these games over and you know on the back somewhere and it'll tell you what controller supports yes including GameCube controllers if it does support that yeah that's that's cool hmm all right love the cover next one is excite box trick racing which is the sequel to excite trucks yeah so when we are picking out games is like ooh we've got it we got to put this one in there because this is so much fun yeah it's a really good racing game and you get to play as a an animal robot or insect and there's like 25 different levels and their actual locations on earth that's another cool part I didn't know that I think for me the thing that surprised me what this game was how well it uses the motion controls yes you know yes some people complain about it but you just got to take five minutes and get used to it yeah yeah and once you get used to it all the tricks and all the jumps it becomes second nature oh yeah such a fun game next is another racing game that's a must have which is Mario Kart for week and the reason why I like this is because the battle arena is for the battle mode is way better compared to the youth Wii U version which uses just the normal tracks so this takes it back to the old Super Nintendo and at n64 days oh cool next one is boom blox bash party which is an awesome 4 player party game it's a combination of Jenga and Angry Birds it just uses the we motion controllers really well for this game now I notice that you picked the second one which I haven't played this one there's two of them actually is it was a big difference between Mary had just more party modes oh I see oh yeah so it's more fun yeah okay Donkey Kong Country Returns now this one can be challenging but it just brings you back to the old Super Nintendo days of Donkey Kong Country that's why it was one of my picks actually yeah I've heard it's tough yes you'll get frustrated but it's well worth it that's cool another one that that's good is warioware smooth moves so if you're familiar with the series and for GBA for DS GameCube this is another one and there's tons of micro games in here they're just weird and quirky instant gratification games and those are type of games I like just pick up and play yeah I'm surprised how much I enjoy this series and it's occasionally so bizarre like when the nose and it's like got the drip coming out of it I was like what what is what's going on yeah that's what makes it fun I know it is a super fun and I had to include these these are the Mario Party galaxy games one into Super Mario Galaxy Super Mario Galaxy and if you're still in party mode yeah oh this Mario Party yeah Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 and these are just amazing the level designs in these are just really great soundtracks awesome I've been trying to find a copy of two but it's still really expensive all not expensive but yet I mean it holds its value yeah it's still in the twenty thirty dollar range yeah I mean but it's a good game so it's only worth it yeah definitely another cool one is Resident Evil we edition this is the fourth installment so Resident Evil 4 and this is a port of the GameCube version and the ps2 version but this is the better version this has HD graphics hmm and using the Wii motion controllers it's really good because you can point and shoot and you can move with them a bit a little bit easier I mean one game I beat it but it you know you're always kind of struggling to get light on the head right yeah and that's perfect for the Wii because a lot of kids play it and people that want to experience using the Wii motion controllers this is a really good game to use at that this is a game I own and I love this game yes and in punishment that the n64 version was great and this star successor is also good it's a really good rail shooter yes yes s yeah so much fun and what I like about this game too is that it's a rail shooter but it really uses the nunchuck in interesting ways because you're you're constantly bouncing around and dodging and it's just it's it's way more in depth than the typical kind of rail shooter which is what I like so yeah and there's two players I haven't had a chance to try two player mode yet but I was wondering if it got tougher we should do that after this video yeah and I had to include a Kirby game Kirby's Return to Dreamland and as all kirby games are you have all the special powers this one has 25 including some of the old retro super power-ups and you can have up to 4 players in co-op mode wow that's cool yeah and the thing I like about this is at the very end once you be it there's a boss rush mode so you can go through all the bosses okay that's cool i played kirbys epic yarn on the Wii and I really liked that one too yeah it's a little bit on the easy side but I just enjoy that so much and this one you could play as Meta Knight that's cool and lastly we have the Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword which was released 25 years after the original Zelda on the Nintendo hmm yeah and this is great because it came with a soundtrack 25th anniversary Symphony soundtrack if you got the big box version you also got the Zelda Wii mote that's all right so they gave you lots of cool extras for this we exclusive and there's like 40 plus hours a game play and it really utilizes the wii motion controller which I like well again it's Nintendo's console they know how to do it right you know yeah and there's you could even fly in this one but the swimming part is kind of tough with the Wii Motion okay huh well dude that's that's an awesome buying guide there at the end though I want to mention that while we covered kind of the more popular games I do have a series of we hidden gems or I dig way deeper into it and cover some of the other games that are on the weed that are actually really fun cuz there are some yeah there's a lot of hidden gems so I yeah that's the thing about the Wii is that once you kind of dive into it it's a really fun console to collect for I love it I mean I was really surprised I didn't expect to yeah I mean I was there from day one and I'll be there until the last game gets true that's very cool dude thanks very much for coming on and doing this buying guys
