Do you miss the Wii U era?
>Region Locked Games>Region Locked Controllers>Region Locked Online
>$50 games that went down to $20 in a year>free online service and the miiverse network>backwards compatibility with Wii and all previous consoles on virtual console>could play on handheld and lend the TV for a movie>multiple special deals such as a whole free game if you bought a different one>actual good third party support with call of duty, assassin creed, and deux ex*sip*
I'm glad it happened, but I don't miss it.
>>737655817Yes. Nobody was buying Nintendo shit so they were desperate. Yeah, there was a drought but there's still one now and Nintendo are 10x as greedy as they were a decade ago.
90% of the Wii U's worthwhile games came out on the switch, how could you possibly miss it?
>>737655817No and I had one. The only games I can think of that haven't been re-released are the Twilight Princess and Windwaker remasters. Once Xenoblade X got ported it became worthless.
Epic epic epic
>>737655817The Wii U wasn't bad, it was just mediocre.

>>737657154It's not projecting to call you a retard. You don't know how to read.
>giving children unfettered access to a largely unmoderarwd social media platformIt was kino.
>>737657246I can guarantee that I read at a higher reading level than you. I can't read above a 3rd grade level.
>>737655817I lived through it, it wasn't perfect, but it had it's good moments that I remember fondly. Now the 3DS era? I'm going to miss that forever.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate ultimately made that console worth buying for me.I don't like playing MH on handhelds.
>>737655817Yes. I never owned a Wii U, but it was a very fun period of time if you aren't Anthony Burch
>>737656483SOVLFULslop
>>737655817Pikmin 3 was on it and that game rules
>>737655817I got the wii u pretty much only for BoTW. BoTW was extremely disappointing. But had some fun with mario kart 8 and windwaker I guess.
>>737655817Why do you keep making this thread
>>737655817I miss when one massive faggot autist didn’t make this thread every day
>>737655817Imagine being a Wii U snoy
The Wii U was released in 2012, am I really this old that there are people on Earth who weren't around for the Wii U era?My first console was the N64, I missed the NES and SNES era. When I started gaming, you connected your console via AV cables to a 3:4 CRT screen, and people were still buying CD video games for their PC and when you dragged the windows in Windows it would leave behind an after image. Lol.

Nobody bought the Wii U it was one of Nintendo's worst selling consoles, so they released it AGAIN but this time called it the "Switch" and made it look more similar to a toy, and they made a game where Mario goes to New York and a new smash bros for hype, and then everyone bought that, lol.
>>737659446The whole site has underage retards, so you'd definitely have those. And also people acting in very bad faith, thinking the Wii U was anything but a piece of shit and that the era was a lost cause in general.
>>737655817Honestly I enjoyed it more than the Switch era, especially when you take into account that the Wii U era overlapped with the peak 3DS years, so being a Nintendo fan during that time you weren't limited to *just* the Wii U. Anyway the Wii U probably had just as many if not more games I liked than the Switch did (even if 90% of them ended up getting ported to the Switch), and the 3DS was a juggernaut once it picked up momentum. They were good years, yeah. The Wii U itself was a very flawed piece of hardware, and of course the system basically got abandoned by devs. But I did enjoy it.
>>737655817No but I do miss the 3DS era.
>1 game a year at best>never forgot Nintendo faggots hyping it up like its the second coming of christ and it was just average>no exclusives>m-m-muh backwards compatibleYou had almost 10 years of Wii era and you didn't play every wii game worth your time that came out since 2006? pathetic
why does he keep making these threads
>>737655817Switch library was all Wii U ports and Switch 2 is all Switch ports so it couldn't have been too bad.I don't remember anyone really talking about Wii U, I feel like it flopped so hard it was only the cultists in their own little bubble
>>737655817Nah. It was kinda cool to hack it and play gamecube games on the gamepad though, sort of like a proto-steam deck experience except it's native via Nintendont instead of emulated through Dolphin.
I do think that was a special moment of time for me, Miiverse integration in games was fun to experience. And the Wii U was the last nintendo feeling console before they went into android mode for the switch.
>>737655817>i miss the Wii U eraNobody says this
The Wii U walked so that the Switch could run.
>>737655817I only had like 5 games for the wii u. Are the people making these threads the kids on Miiverse who'd have to make a new account every time they'd draw a cock or say nigger?
>wii u disc are so cheap they already have disc rot>wii u is so cheap it can break on its own if you don't turn it off oftenNo
>>737655817Splatoon 1 was a banger. I still remember me and my fellow Mariebros fighting and winning the final splatfest. Calliefags were super cocky about how they were going to win too.
>>737655817It was actually pretty fun hunting down all the Smash amiibo even with all the artificial scarcity. I need up collecting every last one and sold them unopened as a set. Console and games were fine, most Switch ports/sequels were objectively better except Mario Maker, the first one mogs 2 violently
I guess OP is technically right because nobody who misses the Wii U era was actually alive for it. Lol.
>>737668605They tried to latch onto Chaos for Splatoon 2, just because Callie was on that team.
Soon we'll start seeing early gen alphas posting about coronastalgia and how amazing it was to live through the pandemic
>>737670179It was cool to be able to pirate HD versions of movies on day 1.
>>737655817Nintendo's desperation arc was pretty good in terms of value.We've gone from full price first party games getting permanent discounts at the end of the generation via Nintendo Selects to Switch 2 Editions re-selling old games for $65-$80 with an hour or two of extra content to keep them evergreen.
>>737669235this the only people worshipping this piece of shit are the fucking frutiger aero zoomers that also weren't even around for miiverse claiming they've been robbed and how they need to go back to the fucking Wii U era of all things
>>737655817Wii U was a shit generation in hindsight, but it had its moments.>the genius that was Xenoblade X>a Nintendo DS virtual console with some actual bangers>GBA virtual console with a lot more bangers>DK64 actually rereleased and not ignored for once>Mario Kart 8 with a promo that got you a free game, everyone chose Pikmin 3 because it was impossible to find>two great Zelda games given full HD remasters with QoL additions>first appearance of Hyrule Warriors, only got better over time>Nintendoland was good fun at parties>Smash 4 bought a hype cycle back for a time with Mewtwo back, the whole ballot, and Cloud getting added>a UI that actually tried to add some color and life compared to SwitchIt wasn't perfect, and it's easy to miss the days of the Wii U because everything with Switch 2 right now is an incredibly gay drip-feed of mid content, I think we are overall better now with Switch 2 than we were with Wii U at peak, but fuck, waiting for games to come licks right now.
>>737655817Yeah, I do. I have many good memories of playing Splation, Mario Maker, WWHD, MK8, 3D World, and many more. As a console it it got better as it aged too thanks to hacks. By the time the Switch came around I had been using it to emulate everything from NES all the way to DS. And my family loved it, probably won't ever forget everyone gathering in my room to play with me. It was a fine console. One of my favorites, despite what people say. I still boot it up from time.
The Wii and WiiU were both awful same with the 3ds and Switch 1 and 2. The Gamecube and DS were the last time Nintendo had machines with games worth playing.
>>737655817i vaguely remember playing like, mario kart, splatoon, monster hunter 4, and pikmin, so i really have no complaints considering my expectations for a console are low
