Intro music is extremely low, I'm a dummy, do not adjust your volume. When I re-rendered the video to remove Epic Mickey's game audio, I added in background music and dropped the level of that audio down so it wasn't too loud... forgetting that it was on the same channel as the intro/exit music.

Music replacing the Epic Mickey game audio is Adam Warrock: The Kid EP, you can get the album here: http://www.adamwarrock.com/bastion/Adam_WarRock_-_The_Kid_EP_inspired_by_Bastion.html

I've been thinking about some Let's Play ideas, and some of them involve Wii games. Now, I could simply just play them on the Wii U and record through the Elgato like I've been doing for Hyrule Warriors, but I'm disappointed that Nintendo didn't take the opportunity to have the Wii U not just upscale the 480p Wii games, but rather natively render them at 1080p.

So I wanted to see what the state of Wii emulation is like. Honestly? I'm damned impressed. There are glitches, and crashes, but man... when everything comes together, it's a beautiful sight to behold.

All my Wii games, including the ones featured here, were ripped from their original retail discs with a softmodded Wii.
