The Wii's system clock only goes up to December 31st, 2035.

I wouldn't worry too much, knowing the Wii modding community they'll make a fix for this the milisecond 2035 hits.

even if they don't we can always just like... set the clock back,,

A weird looking render of Mario from some early Sunshine promo stuff.

It's so weird, it's like a crossbreed between the more polished Sunshine renders and the early CGI plasticy N64 renders

Some extremely whimsical promo art Nintendo put out in 2013 for Pikmin 3.

Wii Sports Club doesn't have the little blue banner thingy at the top of it's spine. As far as I know this is the only wii u game to be wretched like this

Moleville has a darker color palette in the Wii Virtual Console version Mario RPG.

I don't know why. I really, truly, honestly don't know why.

The Wii has full DVD playback, but it was disabled probably because Nintendo didn't want to pay licensing fees for every Wii sold. It can be restored by modding in earlier Wiis.

The disc channel also has an unused DVD icon!

Stage Debut was a cancelled Gamecube game which was planned to use the (also cancelled) GBA Game Eye camera to put real people in the game to just... interact. It also featured Mario, Pikmin, and Animal Crossing characters.

ok so am i going insane or does this kinda sound like prototype tomodachi

In 2017, the CIA released a bunch of hard drives that used to belong to Bin Laden. On it was, among a bunch of other weird stuff, a DS emulator and roms of New Super Mario Bros and Animal Crossing Wild World

The Cloacking Burrow-Nits appear in more Smash games than Pikmin games.

WAIT ARE THE RUNNING KOOPAS FROM ODYSSEY SUPPOSED TO BE A KOOPA THE QUICK REFERENCE

I NEVER NOTICED THAT

Porky's Brawl model has a little metal ring around his waist so he doesn't fall off and rattle around in there

Banjo Kazooie straight up namedrops Cranky Kong in Grunty's Furnace Fun. Weirdly this wasn't removed in the Xbox port.

Mizzo is a an enemy from Brawl's Subspace Emissary who only appears once as a display in the Halberd stage and as a trophy.
They were going to be a full-fledged enemy but were cut for some reason.

Toon Link's Outset Island outfit trophy in Smash Brawl says he has a shrimp pattern on his shirt, when it's actually a lobster. This was fixed in the PAL version.

It really gets weirder the more you think about it

Like, not only does the game have a tutorial, but manuals were still a thing in 2010, hell my copy has a little pamphlet type thing (i don't have the dvd😞) that also explains the controls

I gues they just really wanted you to know how to play

First print PAL copies of Mario Galaxy 2 came with a 24 minute long dvd explaining how to play the game.

I don't... I don't really get why this was necessary... the game has a tutorial,,

Luigi Road is a pretty unasuming road in Ontario, Canada, but what you may not know is that for a time in 2018, it was actually WALUIGI ROAD‼️‼️

The Wii's famous health and safety screen is extremely similar to the one from Metroid Prime 2.

also the Wii screen is just a clever way to get you to press A so the wiimote connects without outright telling you to press A to connect, cuz that'd confuse old people i guess

and both got really boring redesigns

(okayiknow baldy is a separate thing but like,,, functionally they're the same)

Wii Sports had a demo called "Airplane" at E3 2006 where you'd fly a plane around an island using the wii remote. This later became Island Flyover from Resort

also while were here im just gonna say it island flyover is the best thing in any of the wii something games and its not even a contest,,,

i love pikmin 3's graphics so much... it's like... i dunno how to explain this properly but i wanna lick this game (good thing)

Adam Sandler's critically acclaimed beloved 2013 epic "Grown Ups 2" has two guys dressed as Mario and Luigi in the background in a few scenes
