I bought a Wii U in 2018 and why maybe you should too

"In my the latest video on the Nintendo Enthusiast YouTube channel, I chat about why I decided to pick up a Wii U recently." -- Nintendo Enthusiast

I did just to replace my Wii

[playnice]

Good point! Isn't it also compatible with gamecube games?

[Kosic]

Think you can mod it to run GC games. I sold my Wii U ages ago, but remember something about enabling gc games via a hack.

[playnice]

Why didn't Nintendo build tge feature in from the get go... The hardware is obviously capable... Totally worth the mod though.

[PhoenixUp]

No only Wii & VC games

[Kokyu]

No thanks if I was going to play Wii U games Id just use the emulator.

[ptownjbo]

I prefer to support creators. :)
Trying to say that in the least ‘high horsey’ way.

[TheEnigma313]

It still costs too much.

[uth11]

cost more than they did before!

[TheEnigma313]

Might as well get the switch since it has the ports.

[monochromer]

Stupid.

[Jinger]

I sold that shit the second my Switch pre-order went in.

[franwex]

In 2018? Kinda like 5 years late

[chris235]

why would i support an incompetent and very, very hostile company? it‘s beyond me.

[AuraAbjure]

I'll never forget calling them up when I was six back in '96 all by myself and speaking to one of their reps. I was like "So the red cord goes into the red port? And the yellow in the yellow? Okay that makes sense :)" She was very nice and didn't get frustrated with me.

[King_Noctis]

We all know you hate Nintendo, bro.

[Kornholic]

Nah, I like to play games.

[lellkay]

Absolutely no.

[Iltapalanyymi]

idiot

cemu and switch are a thing, why would you do this?
switch has gotten a port of nearly every worthwhile game the wii u had

[AuraAbjure]

Wii U can't stream 1080p YouTube videos without stuttering. Feels mad lame in 2018.

[BlaqMagiq1]

When the Switch already has most of its exclusives? Well that's a dumb thing to do, but okay.

[ptownjbo]

tokyo mirage sessions
Yoshi’s wooly world
xenoblade chronicles X
Pikmin 3
Wonderful 101
Wind Waker HD
Twilight Princess HD
Super Mario maker
New super Mario bros
Super Mario 3D world

but the most important thing of them all, Virtual Console! :)

[Venoxn4g]

and kirby paintbrush..love that game

[BlaqMagiq1]

All these came to Switch from the Wii U:

Mario Kart 8
Fast RMX
Super Smash Bros Ultimate
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze
Bayonetta 2
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
Hyrule Warriors
Pokken Tournament

Super Mario Maker and Yoshi's Wooly World are on 3DS. And Wind Waker and Twilight Princess being in HD doesn't make it exclusive.

So my original statement is correct.

[ptownjbo]

Agree to disagree

[MAULxx]

Neh. I'll pass.

[Knightofelemia]

I would only want Mario Maker and Twilight Princess for Wii-U I am not going to pay $250 Canadian for a console for two games every other game I wanted to play on Wii-U has been ported to Switch.
