Was the Wii U era that bad?
the problem with nintendo land was the Mii's those fuckers are so off-putting
it was hard carried by the 3DS which was miles better than it and even the Switch in terms of output and quality
>>739034928Nobody thinks this but you, and you're wrong.
>>739034470Nintendo literally repackaged all of their wii u games as switch titles to great success. If anything they were just ahead of their time.
>>739034470yes. Much worse of a drought with nothing special on launch of the console - Mario U is one of the blandest Mario games ever.
>>739035031ok retard
>>739034470no. its only problem was the small library3D world is the 2nd best 3D mario game ever made, and the 3rd best in the whole seriesWooly world is the best YI gameTP HD is the definitive verison of the gameMetroid blast SINGLEHANDEDLY made nintendoland worth buyingNSMBU was fine, I definitely liked it better than WiiPokken was finetropical freeze was greatyou could play DS games on ittoad's treasure tracker is a masterpiecethe controller was bulky but light, and it felt snug and comfortable to handlezombieU was an admirable attempt to shake up the zombie era of vidya
>>739034470Yeah. The Wii U had no games and the gamepad was a pain in the ass. God bless your soul if you love the Wii U.
>>739034470Yes, the switch 2 is just shaping up to be worse.
Snoys pretend the Wii U was good in order to undermine the Switch. They do the same with GameCube shit.
>>739036234Annnnnd case in point. >>739036107
>>739035647Besides 3D world not counting as a real 3D Mario game and thinking U was better than Wii, your on point.
>>739034470>all those ports, remasters and multiplats>tendies will buy star fox 64 for third timeWhat went so wrong?
>>739036272reading comprehension
>>739034470Yes and don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
>>739034470>Was the Wii U era that bad?The fact that basically all Wii U titles were ported to the Switch and saw good sales should indicate that the Wii U was, overall, a system with good games. It failed in a dozen different ways, and nobody gives a shit about the New SMB titles, but the other games on the system were mostly good.
>>739035385It's nowhere near as shameless as the Switch 2 Edition situation and it was one way to make the best out of a shitty situation where these games underperformed on the Wii U. The worst year (2018) had 3 rereleases.Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Wii U port)Pokken Tournament DX (Wii U port)Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (Wii U port)Captain Toad Treasure Tracker (Wii U port)New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe (Wii U port)Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore (Wii U port)Pikmin 3 Deluxe (Wii U port)Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (Wii U port, though Bowser's Fury adds new content)Pikmin 1+2 (GameCube port, compiled into one)Super Mario 3D All-Stars (N64, GameCube, and Wii ports)Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition (Wii U / 3DS port)Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition (Originally for Wii)The Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword HD (Originally for Wii)Metroid Prime Remastered (Originally for GameCube)Kirby's Return To Dreamland Deluxe (Originally for Wii)Miitopia (Originally for 3DS)>>739035460>>739036006The Wii U was peak Nintendo hubris (until the Switch 2) and they expected western third-parties to carry their first year without securing any exclusivity. EA gave them late PS3 ports and then wanted to blackmail them so that they give them the keys to their entire online infrastructure (and enforce Origin on all users), then threw a tantrum when they didn't get their way and cancelled all future releases, including finished games.Ubisoft had Rayman Legends as a planned exclusive, but just one call from Microsoft convinced to make it multiplatform AND delay the game all the way to September, meanwhile the french devs invited journalists to cover a sit-in in front of Ubisoft's headquarters to convince them to allow the early Wii U release and "save Nintendo", and leaking every single info they had from Nintendo about the planned NFC support. French sites from then even leaked info about Zelda BoTW.>>739036234Wii U outsold PS4 in Japan to be fair
>>739036362>3D world not counting as a real 3D Mario gameretard alert
>>739036234I like my wiiu and my switch, you autistic fuck. kill yourself
>>739034470>Was the Wii U era that bad?That's still 500% more exclusives than the PS5 at the very least.
Not really but it wasn't better than what we have now.
>>739034470the comparison's actually even worse than this image considering it's counting stuff like sing party and wii party u for wii u but not welcome tour and drag x drive for switch 2but yeah the wii u droughts were unreal, and with such a large one early it basically killed any interest in the console among many, people just forget about it even if they owned one, I can probably count on one hand the amount of times my brother played ours and in many multi-month periods even I didn't pick it up despite really liking the system so it just gathered dustseeing the revisionism around the wii u has been insane having experienced it first hand, people looking back just condense all the best games in their head and act like that was always what the wii u was, if nintendo released a system with the 4th nsmb in recent years and then waited 7 months to release another game, and that game was game & wario today people would fucking go insane
>>739036234because they don't actually like the wii u era, they just liked when ziony wasn't getting anally gaped
>>739034470I liked the WiiU but nintendo and 3rd parties sure didn't so the only attempt we'll get at a dual screen console in our lifetimes died a horrible death, and with the switch killing the 3DS dual screen gaming is gone for good. damn shame I say, even if the WiiU gamepad just ended up being a glorified item swap menu for the Zeldas that is infinitely better than actually needing to scroll and navigate menus every time you want to heal or change armor.
The only Wii U title worth porting was Mario Kart.Everything else could have freely rotted on the system and the Switch 1 would have been fine. No one would have cared of 3D World, DKCTF, or Pikmin 3 were left behind
>>739038529yknow, except all the people that actually played those games and enjoyed them
>>739034470That’s an absolutely abysmal year one. It ended up having a decent library, but all Nintendo systems do. It’s still on the lower end, but a return to form after the Wii, which was kind of shit with the whole blue ocean thing. Switch 2 obliterates the Wii U’s first few years before even completing 1
>>739036957>The Wii U was peak Nintendo hubris (until the Switch 2) and they expected western third-parties to carry their first year without securing any exclusivityTo be honest, they all complained during the Wii/DS era they didn't sold games because Nintendo ones took all the attention. And when Nintendo made space for them, they released shit like Arkham City which was a year old or Mass Effect 3 alone when other consoles got the full trilogy for the same price.At least Nintendo learned their lesson.
>>739034470Man, all this wii u revisionism lately because a certain retarded grifter won't shut up about it on twitter
