Is the Wii U the worst Nintendo console?
No it's switch 2
>>737330349I used it to play pirated Wii and Gamecube games so it was pretty cool.
>redditbobDisgusting black creature, get out of my sight.
yeah, I'd say so. That's fair. Then the Wii.
>>737330349It had its momentsLiked it more than the gamecube though
>>737330349No that's still the virtual boy simply because it's hard to top the eye cancer machine.
We were getting quality Nintendo directs every 2 months. A large chunk of the Switch's first party library were Wii U ports, with new Switch games on top of that. Which is why normalfags who hadn't touched a Nintendo in years, or ever, thought the Switch was so great.
>>737330349No one cares about the worstThe 3ds is the best Nintendo console
>>737330349it's the coolest on paper but very few games actually took advantage of the hardware, which is a massive bummer. a fucking ubisoft game in ZombiU probably did the best job of doing dual screen stuff, actually needing to take your eyes off the game to loot was great and tense.
>>737330349The droughts were fucking horrid because Nintendo was late to the party when it came down to learning how HD development worked
>free online>miiverse>dozens of switch gamesnah it was pretty cool
Faggots don't remember when we got Mario Kart 8, Smash, DK Tropical Freeze, and Super Mario 3D World revealed all in one E3. That was probably the best Nintendo E3 ever.
the average wii u game was rated at 92% on metacritic so no it was actually really good

The 3Ds is not really a "console" because it's so different from the others, and the Virtual Boy is also not really a console lol.
>>737330349Virtual boy and famicom disc
the best nintendo console is the newest oneevery prior one is only loved by snoys/v/ taught me that
A Wii U is more worthwhile than a Switch 2
>>737330665I fucking loved Miiverse and hate how Nintendo shut that shit down. I was hoping they would bring it back with Switch 2 but nope.
i'm still not convinced the Wii U actually existed
>>737330349this pic is quickly becoming the new version of pic related
>>737330891for homebrewing absolutely, but otherwise they're about the same vanilla.
>>737330712>DS>one gorillion sold>never make anything good ever againwhat did nintendo mean by this
>>737330891So far, so far...but just you wait.I'm not buying a switch 2 yet until they announce a few good games, right now all the good games they have is air riders and all the just ok games they have is just bananza. I'm waiting until they release more games worth playing, lol.
>>737330349Objectively it was the Virtual Boy, personally it was the Wii U
>>737330553Fuck off the Wii U was GARBAGE and YES I have one, bought in April 2013. Fucking zoomer history revisionism>>737330891No fuck off
>>737331041Yamauchi was called by Amaterasu back into Shinto heaven and Nintendo has lacked quality leadership ever since
The Gamecube was the last good Nintendo home console
>>737330349What if they miss the Wii U era but specifically not for the Wii U?
>>737330349>Wii u was bad>ps4 was bad>xbone whatever was badEverything was bad at the time. No exceptions. It was a dark time for vidya and I have no idea how nintendo managed to drop the ball so hard after the wii's success.
The only part of Wii U era Nintendo that I miss is the user interface.>your mii in the middle of a plaza waving hi>your friends' miis walking around>ambient music while miiverse posts and artwork cycle on tv>eshop, settings, mii maker, etc. all had their own music>splash screen when loading up games>happy birthday jingleSwitch interface feels lifeless.
>>737331292PS4 was alright, though no backwards compatibility blew ass but I guess that was the lesson Sony took from the PS3's launch
>>737330408This, followed by Wii and switch "1"I had a lot more fun with smash Wii U and 3DS than ultimate, and the upgrade sail in ww hd made revisiting that gem a more fun pace
>>737331154>2013You're not a real Wii U owner, you're a late adopter. Sorry, you had to be there. I don't make the rules.
>>737331532>I was even dumber than you and bought the system way earlier when it had literally nothing!not much of a flex not gonna lie, only reasonable window to buy the WiiU was later once hacks became peepants easy
I think I genuinely got more use out of the WiiU than any other console. But that's because at the time, it was easily the best Internet browser. And I did get a lot of use from it's games.
>Splatoon 1>Xenoblade X>3D World>MK8>Smash 4>Mario Maker>Starfox Zero>DKCTF>Pikmin 3Wii U was only worth owning if you were a hardcore nintendo fan.
>>737331241>>737330349The era was good, fair bit of games coming out but desu most of the era was all about the 3DS. playing Sm4sh and MK8 and everything as it was coming out was all hype and it even had some other games going on but I wouldn't say it's a big library. Having access to everything Wii and DS on Wii U and 3DS was also huge in an era where backwards compatibility was dying on competitor platforms. DESU it's the "3DS era" that's missed. Wii U was like this half step concept that didn't really realize the ideal of a hybrid console the Switch was after. The Gamepad was honestly hot garbage that won't be missed, looking down from your TV feels awful and was never once a good experience and I'll never not laugh at that bob the tomato filename gif because it's simply the truth.>>737331348no it was shit, the whole OS of the console was bloated to hell and back and ran like trash. You can boot switch on and load in the game within 5 seconds. Powering on Wii U and getting into your game was like 50 seconds. Snappy home menu is easily one of the best features of the Switch ecosystem.
>>737330349I bought the Wii U in 2014, a year after it came out and I enjoyed the console immensely. I don't get why people are overly critical of the first year while ignoring the remaining ones. What gets me is when they bend over backwards to port beg, AND to top it off they forget how many Switch releases were padded out with ports too.
>>737331348It MIGHT be lifeless but I'd take actually having games, third party support and a fast boot-up over "le wiiU era soul".Late era DS and 3DS hard CARRIED Nintendo those years.
Switch>=SNES>DS>3DS>Wii>WiiU>GC>GBA>GB>NESToo early to say where the Switch 2 ranks
>>737332075I bought mine later but I think it's reasonable to think the console was kind of a dud, it had good games but very few of them made use of the dual screen shit. I had the notion that we'd be getting DS/3DS style games, just in a higher quality when what we got for the most part was a higher definition Wii with a big controller. Doesn't help that games that did use the gamepad like Star Fox Zero were mostly shit on.
I just miss free online and MiiverseI would have gotten a Switch 2 if they didn't take these away from me.
>>737332618I really like Starfox Zero, and I think it's lame that it gets port begging, when they should have supported the console and the game when it was relevant. We did get literal DS virtual console games. That is one of the greatest things about the Wii U was how it played all Nintendo games up to that point in time, outside 3DS. Even when games didn't make too much use of the gamepad screen, I play a lot of the games on the screen, which is a feature I believe every game supported. One of the main gimmicks wasn't that a game might use two screens, it was shown in the trailer to be easy as pressing a button to swap screens, and to allow family members to use the TV for shows/movies while continuing to game.It will always be odd to me the shade Wii U got and continues to get, when it kind of always was a goat. Sometimes I wonder what could have been with better marketing. I thought about a more seamless transisition to the next console, where the marketing was backwards, a new controller, for the Wii U, and how it then becomes the way people mostly play so Nintendo just updates the controller into a new console. I digress, I could talk for hours about the weeds.
>>737330553Lmao, right, that shitty E3 muppet direct was sooo good
>>737332150so your a zoomer whos too retarded to play games when they were actually good. how the fuck do niggers as dumb as you even figure out how to turn on a computer?
I used to love the wii as a kid but looking back damn that shit literally only had mario galaxy part 1 and 2, metroid prime 3 (a straight downgrade from 1 and 2 but still decent), and brawl which took a team of modders to make it playable.
>>737333586wii sports, bro.i had fun, my dad had fun. all i ask.
>>737330408WiiU took the whole gen to come out with games like the Switch 2 now hasalso muuuuuuch better portable screen
Day one Wii U owner here.Practically every port came out months to years later, ran worse than all other platforms, lacked any bonus features or most of the DLC, and cost more.NSMBU was the killer app at launch, a game most people cannot tell apart from NSMB WiiThere was a 7 month gap between that and Pikmin 3, maybe you got Game & Wario and Lego City Undercover in the meantime, but Rayman Legends got delayed months and went multiplat.Nintendo tried to partner with Pottery Barn Teen to make headlines.Nintendo's 3D Mario showstopper was "what if NSMB was in 3D... AGAIN?"Applications like Miiverse and Nintendo TVii were clusterfucks and discontinued.The only decent year for the Wii U was 2014.It used to take two full minutes to turn on the console and boot into a game.Nintendo revealed and talked about games that wouldn't come out for years, over 4 if we're counting BotW.Nintendo chose to release The Wonderful 101 on the same day as GTA V, something the director was horrified by. They also failed to give most games TV commercials, especially in North America where they ignored more niche games in favor of the stuff that the Wii casuals would care about like Wii Fit U, Wii Party U, and the like.The head of marketing for Nintendo at the time said his favorite Nintendo character was Mega Man.Practically every game ported to the Switch is BETTER on the Switch outside of some dual menu stuff.Nintendo was so desperate they blew their entire development load in January 2013 and revealed everything, including games that were just pitches. Imagine Metroid Prime 4 but several times.Nintendo was so desperate that they were relying on Devil's Third for a while.Star. Fox. Zero.Practically every Wii U commercial that exists is a cringe compilation.Rebuying your VC games to play with Wii U features.
>>737332150>Wii>WiiU
>>737333843>It used to take two full minutes to turn on the console and boot into a game.That's not true, the gamepad has quick start which skips the boot process and loads into a game.
>>737330880What's your opinion?
>>737330349Wii U is legitimately my favorite Nintendo console
>>737331348I like the sounds in the switch 2 ui
>>737331292You mean switch 1? That's when they started doing the paid online shit like the ps4 did. Wii u was a decent console, not as good as the wii but decent. Can't say the same about the switch 1, let alone the switch 2.
>>737334725>You mean switch 1?No he meant WiiU. Switch 1 was a return to glorym
>>737330349No lol, it's not even closeEvery nintendo console has gotten worse than the prior ones, because the games are just worse and fewer
>>737330424I was going to say it's the best emulation system, but even the Swtich 1 is better at that.
>>737334725>Wii u was a decent console, not as good as the wii but decentsee>>737334389
>>737330349I miss this era of SpongeBob. How about that?
>>737334460I said used to, because the GamePad absolutely did not have that in the beginning. You would have to load for a full minute to get to Wareware Plaza and have all the icons pop up and all the Miis run into place, and then another minute to load your game. And of course there was the 45 minute day one update, and the slowness of loading the original Wii Menu from Wareware Plaza.It was totally underbaked and if you've ever seen the story of the Wii U by those old Nintendo marketers and how many red flags were present in the years leading up to it, you'd realize what a bad idea it was from the start.
>>737331182since ammy's coming back to earth to star in the okami sequel, can we ask her to bring him back?
>>737330553>We were getting quality Nintendo directs every 2 monthswhy do you lie?That era had some real fucking horrid directs. Go back and actually watch them.>muh switch games r just wiiu portswrongNot reading more
>>737330349Best Switch games are Wii U ports.
>>737343067False.
>>737343160Sorry your attempt to fit in by parroting an npc opinion didnt work out
>>737331348>no more menu ambience>no more music in nintendo apps>miis are buried in a settings menu and aren't used in 99% of games, even first party titles>Nintendo OnlineTruly grim.
Yeah it had like 3 exclusives and they were ported over to switch with more content like hyrule warriors and dick freeze

>>737343990WiiU sucked my guy. Get over it already.
>>737330349I had more respect for nintendo during the wii u/3ds era than I did the switch era, and definitely way more than I do now. The real nintendo is dead.
>>737330349You've spammed this exactly thread template over three times now maybe even four times in the past week or two
Any games left that are stuck in Wii U hell aside from Wind Waker+Twilight Princess HD and Star Fox Zero?
>>737330712Switch is over 150 milly. Those are old numbers
