Looking back, was it really that bad?
Yes. People pretend to like it to shit on the Switch.
>>745182414I thought it was just a controller addon for the Wii.
Kinda. That timeframe was so shitty in general that somehow WiiU had more games than early PS4/Xbone, but having 5 games instead of 2 doesn't exactly absolve it of its other problems.
>>745182414No, it was the last good console ever made.
Please keep posting it again everyday.
Nintendo's used up the last of their soul reserves on the Wii U
>>745182414Yes, it was such a useless piece of crap with no games.
>>745182414Yes but it was still worth buying.
>>745182414Nah, I still use it, it's Nintendo's penultimate console it plays everything in their history.
>Shitty launch lineup>Zelda games were just HD demakes that made the games brighter in an annoying way (wind waker is a fucking flashbang, god damn) and by the time BotW came out, so did the switch so there's zero reason to touch the piiu version>Smash bros took its fat time to come out, and the game came out as just pvp only, with a worse single player content than brawl, worse stages across the board and the game was later made worse by DLC (forget bayonetta pegging this game 4 inches wide, shit like cloud was so braindead it made the game miserable)>The whole year of luigi shitshow that just amounted to an average new super mario bros rehash>Miiverse being such a shitshow, Nintendo quickly put it out of its misery once the wii u was on its way out>THE game to showcase the wii u's hardware, Star Fox Zero, is a putrid piece of shit.>Sega whoring out sonic in that nintendo exclusie deal with Nintendo that resulted in shitty games like sonic boom and sonic lost world>Bayonetta 2 being a downgrade sequel and TW101 being just a gimmicky game (platinum really did not improve after getting bankrolled by nintendo)>All of those fucking delays (Raymand Legends was peak ubisoft fuckery, i tell you what)Legit name a good thing about the WiiU other than Mario Maker, Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon. Xenoblade X? Please do not make me laugh, i remember XCX coming out and get flamed across the board, from reviewers not liking the mmo-ish combat to /v/ hating on how utterly censored the game. It hardly made the outstanding feature from XBX being a game bigger than skyrim (on the fucking wii u) matter because nobody liked this game.
>>745182414It had no where to go after 2015, pc/ps4 was the future and people were happy enough with their 3DS for Nintendo stuff2013-2015 everyone was playing GTA V
>>745182414yeah it's only halfway decent NOW thanks to homebrew and emulation stuff. gamepad is cozy as hell though shame Nintendo screwed the pooch so bad I will never get another dual screen console
>>745185218>shitting on MiiverseRETARD
>>745185218Also you forgot about ZombiU MORON
Setting aside that Valve half made it redundant by offer its full spectrum of inputs on one device (the steam deck) and the fact that needing a gamepad makes the aftermarket for these things horrendous it is probably the last meaningful console to release since it offered both a full standard controller, dual screen features and touch input.It's the last thing that isn't explicitly just>A computer but worse/portable
>>745182414I didn't have to pay to subscribe.You kids are losers.
by the end of its life the wii u was fine i guess, but you had no real reason to buy it if you didnt already own it. all the common criticisms are validt. launch day owner
>>745185218>Legit name a good thing about the WiiU other than Mario Maker, Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon. Xenoblade X?Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
>>745185593I'm not shitting on the Miiverse, on the contrary i miss it dearly but Nintendo found out kids are cruel, and do not want to be in touch with them.>>745185629ZombiU is just mediocre trash, sure it had some funky mechanics with the wiiupad but let's keep it real, once ZombiU got ported elsewhere, it showed its true mediocrity.
>>745182414the controller was that bad and it ruined so many games designed around it
>>745182414Yes and no. As someone who bought one years later, there were some genuinely good games on the Wii U. Most of the best ones were ported to Switch already.The Wii U's gimmick tablet was honestly really neat, but I don't think a single game REALLY took full advantage of it in a cool or unique way.
>>745185852The port is not the same game and you know it
>>745185715But seriously though these days I wouldn't remotely suggest getting one the homebrew scene is ass because>Nobody owned one>Gamepad being lost basically makes the console a brick
>>745185807also the nx hype cycle was spinning up by the time the wii u was in a good state, a year later the switch was in peoples hands
>>745182414I bought it for Xenoblade X everything after that was just a bonus
>>745185916>Gamepad being lost basically makes the console a brickwrongYou just couldn't enter the settings, but could launch games using the pro controller.
>>745182520Fpbp
>>745182414it got heavily kneecapped by the lack of third party supportit was only really worth it if you were a diehard nintendo fan
