What are your final thoughts on the nintendo wii u game console?
Nintendo wii u
It had potential, but calling it a Wii was a mistake
it was a really good console but its marketing was really garbage
I could have burned $200 for the same level of enjoyment
Shit console with bad marketing.
It had some good games, the E-Shop was decent, folders where neat, tv remote functionality was nice
Worst Nintendo console since GameCube. Devoid of soul in favor of gimmicky, shit
>eshop was decent
But they even ruined that. Virtual consoles are a nice idea, but Super Mario 64 is not worth $10 on any day of the week.
I had fun with it
Yeah, it's worth more than double
With obvious shit out of the way, I think its demise is really due to Nintendo's issue as a whole these days with relying on its own IPs to sell consoles. AA devs don't really exist anymore so now can't have another console like the Wii with a huge library of games to take advantage of the console's gimmick. That time is over and even though a lot of third-party Wii games were trash, the console still has a better library than the Wii U and Switch combined. Instead, you just have indieshit that's available on every system and some ports. Also, the Wii U never had a strong launch title like the Wii and Switch did.
I like it and I think it has quite an underrated library. Especially in JRPGs front, why the fuck wouldn't Nintendo port (uncensored) Tokyo Mirage Sessions and Xenoblade Chronicles X is beyond any reason.
I am also totally ok with tablet's range, I wouldn't feel secure with carrying Switch, I am generally figgety when it comes to having tech outside my house bigger than my pocket (that's why I don't buy phones with particularly big screens, 5 inches is more than enough to satisfy anyone)
Indieshit is the new AA
I like mine better than my Switch. Great, soulful console.
>$14.11 is more than double of $10
Right. Keep up your support for Nintendo. Be sure to pick up a few $5 copies of Super Mario Bros Lost Levels to really show your support.
Piece of shit that I regret getting. Not that the Switch is much better, but at least it has games. The only games I enjoyed on Wii U were W101 and Bayo 2.
Yeah, but any monkey with a decent enough PC can play indieshit.
Bad console. Will have a terrible legacy since all it's good games are getting ported to the switch. No one will have a reason to play it. The tablet will make emulation a fucking bitch too.
Just like the shitch. It's trash. Only difference is they are lying about shitch sales.
I got my money's worth with XBX and Splatoon alone, and played a few other things too. It's a crummy bit of hardware, but whatever.
Ive never owned one, I never played one either but from a spectator's point of view Ninty really screwed the pooch with this one, The fact that it was just called Wii U made it seem like and add-on for the Wii and not a new console not only that but half the fucking console is the controller which you NEED to have in order for it to even boot up a game, switch is a step in the right direction I feel but it could use some refining
It still has the best and most exclusives of the 8th gen. Which is pretty fuckin sad.
