I miss party quests! they were so fun xD I remember a good ludi maze pq would get done in like less than a minute. Guild PQ was also great, I remember my guild used to do it all the time trying to make it to the top of the leader boards...we got really close too but I think people started quitting around then unfortanately. I still talk to a few of my old maplestory friends, I still miss some of my other ones though that I lost contact with over the many years. I was also lucky enough to get free bigfoot leech straight to 200 xD

Nah, haven't owned a Nintendo system since N64, and the Switch has a great library and isn't hampered by ham-fisted gimmicks.

32:50 I don't agree at all here. I don't think it was unbalanced at all, I think it was amazing! Every class had its place. Mages did most of the damage at low levels, before other classes started catching up and finally surpassing Mages at around lvl 60-70. Warriors had a lot of health and they didn't die from a single hit, Mages had low health but huge mana and they had Mage Guard (or whatever was its name) to neglect 80% of damage from HP to MP. Ranges and Thiefs could do damage from distance. My first account was a Cleric/Priest/Bishop which basicly did no damage before getting to 4th job as a Bishop and actually getting some skillpoints in Genesis. But I was always the most wanted account in a party because of my skills. As a Cleric, I, of course had Heal which was very important in a party as no one needed any health potions. And I could actually train solo, thanks to Heal actually doing damage to undead monsters. But I was even more wanted in a party after 3rd job, when Priest got Holy Symbol which was probably the most important skill in the game giving 150% xp boost to all party members. I would 100% start playing Old School Maplestory. I don't even think any xp rates should be changed at all. It would be grindy and time consuming to level up, but so what. I wouldn't need to get level 30 in a week or two. The early game was probably the best time on a new character. But good video otherwise and nice trip back to the golden age.

weird take to say that you feel “disrespected” for playing games on wii u and expecting to get them for free on switch 🤨🤨 that’s what you’re saying, right? or something similar to that, right? what’s that all about? lol

I genuinely thought my playthrough would end at the dark bramble, I was HORRIFIED. I felt like crying when i finally got to what I was trying to find. I discovered everything I could before I went into it... accidentally completed the ships log because of it haha So glad I went in now.

The irony of that loser constantly telling other leakers to delete their account like he’ll never get caught and u can bet a million its a white dude with a white friend working at nintendo. Wont take long to figure out who it is

Definitely not the only one who feels this way. I'm playing an older version of the game right now that's doing its best to emulate the game from back in the day. You nailed it on the head that modern MMOs have forgotten what makes these games so good. I wish I could do something about that and make an MMO that captures it all, but it's tough and there's no time to work on that for adults that need to make money to live. Maybe someday we'll get an MMO our kind can love again. For now, MapleStory private servers do the trick.

I miss the Wii U so much, I was about 11-12 when it’s came out and it was a revolution in my household, Nintendoland with my sisters was legendary “Play nice and take it easy on them” when playing Smash 4 is a core memory for me, Splatoon was awesome, MK 8 the list goes on

The social part hits so hard man, I really get what you said about that girl you played with, I had the same feeling with many people as well we played so much together exploring the world, we even took the ship from Ellinia to Orbis just to chill with new people and include those onto our journey too haha, good old times I wish I could go back. Also, your storytelling skills are insanely good, I was really hooked!

Sadly Old School Maplestory cannot return. Time is far removed and people have changed, it'll never be the same. I was a decently high level when potential dropped and from others even higher level than I had complaints because it meant their scrolled gear was worthless. The simplicty of scrolling gear was for the best, potential just made it a massive money sink. I dropped out before Big Bang. As you said about imbalances with HP, I was an archer and what was I grinding towards? I finally got the minimum HP to not get one shot by Skeles, but this was my final training spot and anything like Horntail wasn't a possibility because I'd need to be a very high level to live in Horntail with hyperbody. The game has a ton of charm, the simplicity helps the game, and all the people I met and talked to were great and what compelled me to continue playing. It's possibly the only MMO I'd ever get into. Grinding with people in Ant Tunnel, exploring Ludi with others, awaiting new areas in patches, it was a really great time. Helping others make their way out of Sleepywood, or getting them out of Omega Sector, there were just little things you can do for others, which made Maple special. There isn't a rush to max level, nor one to do a PQ. It's a grinding game, that at times takes ten hours to gain a level, but it was laid back.

Wii U would have succeeded if it had been called Wii 2, and if the base specs had matched PS4/X1 to secure long term developer support.

The wiiu was horrible for me and I’m an Nintendo fan

New Zelda blows

Wii U was attempting a number of things for one they wanted to make a Nintendo console that appealed to the Xbox 360 PS3 hardcore gamer audience and I wish Nintendo wouldn’t have given up on that, the Wii U was powerful for its time more powerful than its competitors in 2012 and had good third party AAA support with the latest games. Another thing it was attempting was making a 3DS type experience for your TV which made sense

Amazing video, thanks for the memories, played since beta and stopped along the way since they added a lot of cutscenes and stopped the grinding.

Imagine a hack of SF64 with 2 player co-op missions 😱😍

Maplestory died in the west sometime after red and before reboot. Now all the NA population is in reboot, its there will youll see player interaction, maps with others and no paying advantages. If you want oldschool runescape private servers would probably be ur best shot that wont devolve into old pay to win bs

After the Wii U turned them into a laughingstock, Nintendo needed to win the masses back, and so it makes sense that they presented the Switch as a cool, streamlined tech product without all those fun, goofy flourishes Nintendo loves. I love the Switch because I just think it has a much better library than the Wii U (even disregarding that most of the Wii U's best games have been ported), and while I agree that it lacks a lot of the character of the prior systems, I think that's what Nintendo needed to turn the perception of them around. Now that they're back on top of the world, and they've given multiple interviews saying that they're not taking their success for granted, I'm fully expecting that the Switch's successor will bring a lot of that personality back, just in a more functional, considered way.

I remember being a low level bowman accidentally finding myself deep somewhere where there where Zombie mushrooms and not being able to get out. After a long while, a higher level player (maybe a thief? I dont remember) decided to make it his mission to help me get out. After he helped me out, I decided I wanted to follow him everywhere and I had some of the greatest adventures and memories with this guy for a long time afterwards. Whenever I think of my early memories in Maple, I think of him. I wish there was some way I could thank him for those awesome adventures and memories. It’s been so long I don’t remember what my character name was or what his character name was 😢

Gotta play FFIV, VI, Suikoden 1, Wild ARms 1, Alundra 1, Xenogears, Secret of mana and Crosscode

Love your video. I don't personally understand your fan hardon for Paper Mario as I hated it as it was too different from SMRPG. Star Fox is an example of a franchise totally abused - Starfox, Metroid and F Zero are some of nintendo's most neglected series

The music of the first game is timeless. They really drove this series into the ground - the gamecube games were fucking HORRIBLE.

I honestly loved my Wii U far more than my Switch or my PS5 i have right now. Felt like the Gamecube 2.0

33 years old today and 100% approve that video !

I think it's important to acknowledge the context behind the lack of PS5 exclusives. The fact that Covid absolutely wrecked the global supply chain. Making it nearly impossible for most cobsumers to get one for the first 2 years. The Switch luckily launched well beforehand, so it already had a massive install base to sell games to. To be clear, my point isn't to detract from what Nintendo has accomplished, just to provide some context. Had Sony abandoned the PS4 as early as we would typically expect it would have been a bad move. They have abysmal sales numbers on some wildly expensive games, a financial nightmare. And, more importantly, it would've been bad for their image in the eyes of their users. Can you imagine if the biggest titles coming from Sony over the course of 3 years was impossible to access for no other reason than hardware shortages? Something consumers were already pissed about and (unfairly imo) blaming Sony for, along with scalping. Like it or not, prioritizing a massively extended crossgen period was the best move for Sony AND the vast majority of PS users. I do think Sony and Xbox both have a ton of stuff they need to work on, and they could absolutely take a few notes from Nintendo. But holding the first half of the generation against them over a lack of exclusives isnt one of them. Besides, not only did Nintendo completely avoid the Covid nightmare for years after launch, but the first several years of the Switch's biggest exclusives were also just ports from the Wii U. Something that wasn't held against them only because the Wii U was an extraordinary flop (It deserved better, though. It's a great system). Their putput was super high because they had 5 years of major releases that nobody played they could rush out the door. That is a hige deal and should be acknowledged when you're making a comparison like this. You have 2 console that released during a global pandemic that nobody could buy, forcing their manufacturers to majorly extend their crossgen period, facing off against a console that released years before that same pandemic and also had a full library of mostly unknown major releases to supplement it with for years? Seems to be just as much about circumstance as it does about business decisions. One big thing I DO think Sony and MS should take away from Nintendo's playbook is supplementing their major AAA releases with smaller AA projects using their IPs on a more frequent basis. It has proven to be massively beneficial for Nintendo and their players. Another thing suspect will continue to be the norm for Nintendo, and something that will continue to help drive unit sales is console releases midway through Xbox and Playstation generations. It has helped them blur the lines between what generation the Switch even falls into, the 8th or 9th, do take away some credibility over performance complaints. But it means Nintendo isnt competing with them during peak hype for their competitors. They get their own "new console hype" cycle with zero competition.

you don’t miss the old nintendo, you just don’t like the new one.

I like where your head is at… how ever. I think that Nintendo should re-release the Wii. With more power and a fleshed out Wii sports games’z, make ever game it’s own game. As Wii sports golf is goat’d !!!🐐

you did not mention the 3ds

The Bible says, the love of money is the root of all evil. True that! And the Bible shows God is not a God of convenience. But a God of compassion.

The switch never wished me an happy birthday

I hope you continue this series

I hope that Aero GPX does well cause I am a backer for it lol

wii u was hype

Star fox assault is the best the series has to offer, maybe if you took the time to understand the controls you'd see that. Instead you rushed through it waiting to be over to put in this bloated video

It's fascinating to see you also thought you need to ditch your ship in dark bramble. I was lucky, I figured the fish out in my 2nd visit to the planet, so finding the fossil was underwhelming to say the least, lol.

i was downloading this while i was watching, always wondered what it turnd out like. 45 min in ive pressed space bar like 1000000 times ot skip BS cut scenes and held down cast for 5 seconds. i dont know what theyve made but they really missed the mark on the new game. i cant even just mindless grind for nostalgia, even if ti would be OP for an hour the main thing actual old school failed on was single party quest rooms, thats where ppl would actually stick around. what you do to min max is up to you, if ppl want to whale it then let them, the appeal was always just pressing the button yourself

I agree that the Switch's UI leaves a lot to be desired, and the Eshop lost all of its personality. The loss of Miiverse also sucks, but something I heavily disagree with in this video is you act like 3rd party games are no big deal. We have gotten some of the best games of all time in portable form on the Switch, like Skyrim, Diablo 3, No Man's Sky, Borderlands 1-3, Persona 5, Nier Automata, Warframe, Minecraft, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Dark Souls Remastered, Both Ori games, Valkyria Chronicles 1 and 3, etc....On top of that, more 3rd party collaborations like you praised with Hyrule Warriors have happened, even with indie developers. The lifeblood of a great platform is its 3rd party support. Nintendo can't keep a platform up by itself, and that's been proven with the Gamecube, and Wii U both. While those two systems have some great games, most of those great games are 1st party, that's not a good thing. Also, most of Wii U's games have been ported to Switch, and nearly all of those ports have more content. So to me, someone who still owns his Wii U, the system is almost irrelevant at this point outside of Xenoblade Chronicles X, the only reason I still own mine. Also, I own a Steam Deck, and am even currently typing this on mine while it's in its $80 dock I bought from Steam (Ridiculous price BTW), and I still buy 3rd party games on Switch, wanna know why? Physical copies. I will never pay full price for a digital Steam game outside of an indie I want to support. With Switch, I'll buy a well made port if it's available physically in a heart beat. I have owned, and still own more games on Switch than any platform I have ever bought games for. There's so many games to play that I seriously can't keep up with them. The system is JRPG heaven for example, and while I love the genre, I can't put 50+ hours into all these games, but I love owning them, and will eventually get to most of them.

I still remember opening and booting up my WiiU on Christmas 2012. From there I created my Mii and enjoyed one of the best launch titles of all time: Nintendo Land. They really need something like this for the switch, I still have that same WiiU from over 11 years ago. Sure its battery sucks, but if you get a battery replacement (which there are tons on ebay) It can easily last for over 3 hours.

No idea if you'll read this as I'm very late to this video, but I lost my mom in April. I played Outer Wilds earlier in the year. I find myself coming back to this game again and again. I just keep thinking about it. How it's terrifying and frustrating and satisfying and beautiful all at once. Your video was so cathartic, and I thank you for making it.

The old Nintendo held back its consoles features so freaking much.

I do not miss old Nintendo. The Switch is easily my favorite system and it's not even close. The amount of high quality games I have on my system is more than what I owned between the SNES, Gameboy, Gamecube, Gameboy Advanced, DS, Wii, 3DS, and Wii U combined. Old Nintendo wishes it had this many amazing titles on on system alone. Even the SNES gets a run for it's money when it comes to the sheer quality and quantity on the Switch. Old Nintendo is long gone and thank goodness for that. I'm quite content with modern Nintendo.

Arg.. made me think ... All my guild members either died or unfriended me... kinna sad [victory]

your name seems familiar mappling

I agree 100% I feel the Wii u is the best console and switch is one of the worst in my opinion thought I was the only one thanks for relating

Nintendo now are doing great in areas that they were weak back then, but they’ve also taken a bunch of steps back. Unless the next Nintendo system fixes EVERYTHING wrong with Nintendo (hardware power, online service, online connection, third party support) then I’m probably fully done with Nintendo consoles. I’ll just pirate the games and I don’t care if people cry “wahhh emulation bad stahp it”. Don’t blame me because Nintendo decided to make terrible consoles but great games.

Thank you for this video, not only was it exceptionally well made- it was also incredibly kindhearted and genuine.

Back when I first got my Wii U, it was crazy, I got the 32gb black version with New Super Mario Bros U + Luigi U and the music was a bop, it left more of a lasting impact because of its personality. The switch is fun and all but it really lacks the special charm that Nintendo put into their older consoles. I believe that the reason why the switch is so lifeless is because of the Wii U being a flop and Nintendo thinking that they can’t do anything similar because it might end up being a flop too which is really sad because that stuff made the Wii U special.

also I never liked how they messed with the shadow partner, flash jump AND (only for NL) how the stars get thrown.... idk the original looked better or is it just me?

thanks to maplestory I learned english lol I cant imagine another reason to learn it I could have had back then lol especially with how bad school english is in austria... well helped me keep a #1 in school when it came to english D: Idk why but it was easier to talk to people online and make friends then try to talk to people at school xD

I feel exactly the same. Playing wiiu was a whole magic experience, fun, complete, from the moment you turned on the console until you turned it off. The truth is that the Nintendo experience has been downgraded with the Switch. Nintendo's magic was at its peak with the wii/wiiu, ds/3ds. I grew up with NES and SNES and at some extent they're my favorite consoles so this has nothing to do with nostalgia. Thank you Iwata-san!
