I don't understand that argument, the versions on Wii U don't suddenly vanish off the earth just because a port exists.
I guess it would suck for people that didn't already realise the Wii U was a flop, but when I got mine it was already failing; I still play the system regularly, though.

>>375672850
>I don't understand that argument, the versions on Wii U don't suddenly vanish off the earth just because a port exists.
They are inferior and therefore not worth playing

>>375672950
Nah, they're still worth playing. I'm not going to re-buy the game for about as much content as a DLC pack would yield.

>>375673137
>Nah, they're still worth playing
not when a better version exists
>I'm not going to re-buy the game
That's the point, you shouldn't have to face that dilemma at all

>>375673219
they release new graphics cards all the time, but I don't chuck mine every with each iteration since it's perfectly serviceable for my needs, I'd say the same applies to these games. There

>>375673428
the content isn't just better graphics though so not that's not really a good comparison

you don't own Woolly World or Hyrule Warriors?

>>375673652
no, Woolly World looked somewhat interesting but the lack of the discussion of the game meant I didn't bother (it's also apparently really easy, which puts me off), Hyrule Warriors doesn't interest me at all.

I know everyone hates the Wii U but I want one now. I have $100 on Amazon, how much could I get one for?

I stopped trusting Nintendo when they released the N64.

>>375672340

I didn't get one in the first place. Not getting a switch, either because it really just looks like a wiiU redux, and there are no games I want.

>>375675119
Probably like $130-150 or so for a used one.

what did he mean by this

>>375672340
I bought a Wii U relatively early on and I enjoyed the vast majority of exclusives on it. Until recently with the release of Puyo Tetris and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, I actually played my Wii U more than my Switch that I bought at launch.

It's the hourly 'shit on wii u' thread.

I'd ask why you're always making these threads, but its apparent you're a PS4 owner and have nothing else to do.

>>375676203
Actually I'm a Wii U owner and have nothing to else to do.

>>375672340
yup gonna go buy a switch as soon as they come back in stock near me. Its crazy how popular this thing is

>>375673219
>not when a better version exists

Damn, then my SoTN playthroughs are all crap since I played them in the PS1 instead of the Saturn amirite.

People who make this kind of threads are fags who regret about getting a wiiu because they expected multiplats and fags who never owned one.

>>375678320
I bought it in late 2014 for Bayo and Smash. It stopped getting good games in late 2015. Xenoblade X was the last good one.

>yfw when the wii had better 3rd party support than the wii u

The wii U had great games dont get me wrong but its the only nintendo system where every game I own is published by nintendo

IN the grand scheme of things thats not great and even when the Wii was ending nintendo still supported it till the very end

literally no. They fu ked up badly with wii u and abandoned it and cannot be trusted. Wii u was my last console. I'm sticking with 360 and wii u now

>>375679032
What was I lying about exactly?
>>375679012

>>375679174

There is no guarantee that a video game publisher won't port a game to increase sales horizontally. Your game playing value isn't diminished by someone else playing the game and your console isn't special because of exclusives. Where did you even get that idea? So you can sneer at people who own other consoles? Is that better than enjoying your games?

No seriously, where else in the world do you believe this dynamic applies?

Don't understand the Wii U hate. I'm disappointed since they easily could've made it a lot better, but it's not a bad console.

Main gripes:
Should've beaten the PS3 and 360 in performance in all regards.
No Ethernet port.
The gamepad integration was well done, but it shouldn't have required it. I mostly play Sm4sh on mine nowadays, and I don't want the gamepad still on when I'm not using it. Can't access a lot of the console without using it
And of course >no games

>>375672340
I wasn't scammed. It was my Mario, Smash, and Hyrule Warriors machine, and it did its job well.

>>375679349
>Your game playing value isn't diminished by someone else playing the game
When they can do it on a better console while never making the same investment I did? Yes it is.

>>375679041
By the literal legal definition it is not a scam
Stuff it kid

>>375679359
You know the console's library is complete shit when fucking Hyrule Warriors is widely considered a top 10 game.

They showed off all the 3rd party games that were coming to the WiiU. They said 3rd party games were back. They were back but only at launch... Nintendo didn't get the support of 3rd parties, like they said they would, so I feel betrayed.

>>375679174
You were lying about how the transition from the wii u to the switch went

>>375679559
No I wasn't
The Wii U only got trash games in 2016 because they moved everything to Switch

>>375679356
>Should've beaten the PS3 and 360 in performance in all regards.

Nintendo was enslaved to using a CPU that every other console developer and PC maker ditched after one iteration. The POWER platform is power-hungry, runs hot and its claim of performance based on RISC instead of CISC instruction sets proved false once Intel optimized their architecture.

Nintendo made the mistake of making another console with the same name and architecture instead of reading the writing on the wall and moving to Intel or similar CISC and most importantly not promising backwards compatibility. The company wasn't solvent enough to do it and they went incremental believing a secondary appliance would boost sales.

As the Switch shows, they did eventually learn from this mistake.

>>375679591
And that's fine.
No one lied about it though.
The wii u was clearly dead at thst point

>>375678365

The Wii u was made specifically to exploit the out of control hype train for smash. It had a fraction of the number of first party releases that past consoles had. The technology wasn't a huge step up from the Wii and the game pad gimmick was so crappy, developers rarely even implemented in their games. 90% of the people that bought it only did so to play smash which was being hyped as the game of the century at the time and started Nintendo's current trend of making games with loads of DLC.

Classic cash grab.

An investment is something that appreciates in value over time. A $500 stripped down PC isn't an investment.

>>375679962
And you're a shill

>>375679592
Figured I'd get chewed out over this point. I'm ignorant about the topic, so I guess it's bad that I'm making an argument about it.

More simply put, I think they should've waited another year and focused on improving the power of the Wii U. The load times still suck going between things, but it was trash when it first came out.

>Just download more RAM Nintendo

>>375678912

Expecting a precedent of quality set by a provider of a product or service is not unreasonable

>>375678390
> It's a bad platform because I don't like the choices of games available for it
Build a gaming PC if you insist on platform RoI. Consoles get replaced far too often these days to believe in long-term publishing for them. I don't like it either but I don't run the industry.

>>375680078
>Figured I'd get chewed out over this point.
I''m not chewing you out, I'm blaming Nintendo for doing something they should have avoided but the company felt the pressure and didn't have R&D working on a better full-size console. This is a company that until the Switch would routinely put the guts of the previous console into a new one just to sell backwards compatibility and it would have been far too expensive even through emulation to do so with non-PPC CPU hardware. They were stuck between a rock and a hard place and hoped the WiiU would save them briefly.
>>375680132
>Expecting a precedent of quality set by a provider of a product or service is not unreasonable

Quality has in some areas a very defined legal definition. It refers to durability, performance advertised, not being hazardous to use, but what it doesn't imply in any regard is the console maker's ability to entice or force publishers to support the platform indefinitely or exclusively.

>>375672340
No.

I'm waiting for a Switch revision.

>>375679356
>Should've beaten the PS3 and 360 in performance in all regards.
It did.

>>375679592
>The POWER platform is power-hungry, runs hot and its claim of performance based on RISC instead of CISC instruction sets proved false once Intel optimized their architecture.
The POWER architecture is not a monolithic architecture. Your comments about power hunger and heat really only refers to those few POWER processors which have ridiculously long pipelines like Pentium 4.

Older designs like the PowerPC 750, which the Wii U used, still have extremely competitive integer performance per transistor, because of its very classical RISC design with a very short-pipeline.

>>375675678
>will never get a sequel
>sequel is already announced

what did he mean by this?

>>375679756
Oh yeah some thing to exploit smash and smash comes 2 years into its life sure buddy.
The tech did not need to be a huge step up look at how the switch is going.
The gamepad was great the devs are just uncreative lazy faggots. Asymmetrical gameplay is the shit.

Smash dlc was perfectly fine

>>375680549
>>Should've beaten the PS3 and 360 in performance in all regards.

Not him but no it did not

>>375680618
>Asymmetrical gameplay is the shit.
name one game that used it well

>>375672340
No.

>>375680498
Ah, thought you were correcting me on that idea, not supporting it with more info. Sorry.

But yeah, it's nice to let the Wii U have the option to play Wii games, but I still have my Wii for that. Would've preferred a more powerful and thought out Wii U over keeping in the backwards compatibility.

>>375680619
It absolutely did. Its CPU had 50% higher general performance than 360's Xenon, and 300% higher general performance than PS3's Cell.

Not only does its GPU have more shader units than the 360 and PS3 GPUs, but it also uses a newer much more efficient architecture (particularly in comparison to the PS3's GPU which was outdated even at release). This will give it big wins at pixel fill and vertex SIMD. Maybe PS3 can win at pure SIMD performance, but it's useless unless you're running a supercomputer array since it'll get bottlenecked elsewhere.

Its effective main memory performance is similar. People point out that the 360 and PS3 have a higher memory bandwidth, but in practice their memory is extremely bottlenecked (literally half performance in practice) while Wii U's memory is not bottlenecked at all (runs at almost full speed all of the time). Furthermore, the Wii U has larger and faster eDRAM than the 360 (the PS3 doesn't have eDRAM at all).

>>375679801
Didn't we get star fox and a couple zelda gsmes

Just because you personally are not satisfies does not mean they lied you are not the world

>>375681109
Star Fox Zero is a trash game. Its like saying "oh we got Knack, that means they supported us you guys"
remasters don't count either. They don't count for other systems, not sure why you think they should count for Wii U.

>>375680695
Rayman legends, nintendo land, zombi u

>>375681045
Okay so if all that shit is true why do games on Wii U run worse than ones on 360 and PS3?

>>375681165
And that's the crux of your problem.
Just because you don't like something does not mean it's bad.
Sure they count they are decades old games.
Not something that came out the year before

>>375672652
But I bought it for Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 everything else was just a bonus.

I'm quite happy with the purchase.

>>375681248
Because most third-party games to the system were ported by third-world literally-who studios. Literally the only Wii U ports that were coded by the original company (Need for Speed Most Wanted U, Bayonetta 1) run better than the 360 and PS3 versions. Not a coincidence.

>>375679801
well that quote was from 2015 and they kept supporting the wii u after that so, yknow

>>375672340
They lost my trust after the initial reveal of Wii u. Seriously, it felt like the Wii was barely getting started, and boom! New console out of fuck nowhere!

>>375681408
>Just because you don't like something does not mean it's bad.
No one likes Star Fox Zero, and it is bad.

>>375681464
>Bayonetta 1) run better than the 360 and PS3 versions
Nope. Bayonetta 1 runs worse than the 360 version. Watch Digital Foundry.
>>375681473
>well that quote was from 2015 and they kept supporting the wii u after that
They released nothing but trash games in 2016. Its like saying the PS4 had support when it only had Knack and Infamous.

>>375680549
>Older designs like the PowerPC 750, which the Wii U used, still have extremely competitive integer performance per transistor, because of its very classical RISC design with a very short-pipeline.

As long as you stayed below a certain GHz you could avoid having the turbo fans my old dual-750 PowerMac did (which blew during something as simple as a video encode). Remember that Jobs initially promised 3GHz (back when Apple was a major player inside POWER) and had to retract it later on.

I'm not pissing on the chipset, but I am saying that IBM didn't show interest in making it competitive in any other regard than pure speed and the industry had additional priorities. Cell was a noble experiment but ended up frustrating game programmers who hated the completely stripped down instruction set. Had that generation of consoles shipped with one 750 and one Cell where the former ran the game code and the latter the graphics, it might have a harder decision to scrap the architecture. As you probably know, that dual/optimized architecture is how the DS platform's always run.

>>375681248
>3rd parties outsource a rushed port of 5 year old games that everyone who cares already played

>>375681619
Its does not matter if it's bad. It's a major first party game that's the entire point.

I didn't trust them after the Wii. Seeing what happened to the WiiU, anyone has some serious issues if they keep giving money to that company.

>>375681737
>Its does not matter if it's bad
What the fuck am I reading

>>375681715
Also this. Game programming is supposed to push the metal to the limit but many publishers would rather use crossplatform development suites which prefer a lowest-common-denominator result. You know, like Unity does.

>>375681523
Barely getting started after 5 years? To me, it felt like it took forever to get a new console.

Though I get what you mean. It still feels like the PS4 and XB1 are new consoles, and they are almost reaching 5 years old themselves.

>>375681797
A counter to your argument

And this is unfortunate because the hardware was inferior to most Best Buy desktops at the time. I'm not trying to be mustard race here, just pointing out how cheap these bastards have gotten in an industry where consoles ought to be loss leaders considering no game can be published without console maker tax.

>>375672340

>>375681619

I did. And it doesn't. The performance is equal or better overall (they drop in different places so
cherry pick all you want) despite the Wii U version using higher-resolution shadows.

>>375681627
>my old dual-750 PowerMac did
The PowerPC 750 is a G3. Apple did not produce any dual-G3s as the architecture does not support SMP.

What you're referring to is a PowerPC G4. Furthermore, did you really think a dual-CPU system wouldn't run hot? With the exception of the P3 Tualatin, P3s and particularly Athlons ran very hot. No different than the G4.

>Remember that Jobs initially promised 3GHz
But not on a G4. On a G5, which was a substantial reworking of the architecture.

>>375682197
>they pumped out some damn fine looking games
That's all that matters. Did you have fun, do you want to play it again, did it only have funny glitches.

That's it.

>>375682329
>The performance is equal or better overall
So I guess you missed (or skipped) the part where the Wii U shits itself in witch time where 360 doesn't

>>375682020
>just pointing out how cheap these bastards have gotten

what i think happened is the PS3/360 got buttfucked by the wii and they thought they had to go cheaper and low power to compete

we're getting the pro and scorpio because that didn't really fit the loss leader power first model and 3rd parties were getting antsy.

honestly i wouldn't mind if we stopped the graphics power arms race. games take too fucking long to make nowadays

>>375682329
>The PowerPC 750 is a G3. Apple did not produce any dual-G3s as the architecture does not support SMP.

This is going to sound like backtracking but it isn't and bear with me. I had a desktop PowerMac with a replaceable CPU and it got the 750 in the upgrade. It went from System 7 to OS X 10.1 and was the best investment in a desktop computer I ever expect to make. The dual CPU was the giant cheese-grater G5 (it has G5 in hueg letters on the side of the box) and that did run loud. I hadn't known that dual-CPU automatically meant airplane noises.

> substantial reworking of the architecture
Including ditching the endianness switch without warning anyone who was using emulators. No fucking reason for doing that I know of but it resulted in slower emulators.

>>375682338
Well, I never actually got either of those consoles. I had a Wii U and PC.

As a Wii U owner, I was envious because Nintendo was a generation behind again.

But I still enjoyed the games I had a Wii U,even now I still have several games to play through.

>>375682474
>honestly i wouldn't mind if we stopped the graphics power arms race
It hasn't given us better games OR better coders able to properly leverage the hardware. What it has done is made glitches look even more uncanny.

Focus on gameplay and bug reports.

>>375682646
>But I still enjoyed the games I had a Wii U,even now I still have several games to play through.
THAT'S ALL THAT FUCKING MATTERS.

>>375682394
>How does the Wii U stack up against Xbox 360 then? To put it simply: very favourably. In fact, while it's difficult to nail down a 1:1 comparison due to the game's chaotic nature, similar sequences actually suggest slightly faster overall performance on Wii U. Coupling a slightly higher frame-rate with the elimination of screen-tear results in a smoother experience overall.

This is a reasonable side by side comparison and as the VO suggests, the animation's challenging the hardware. Would have been smarter to either decimate the meshes, pick simpler shaders or both for the WiiU port and accept the problem instead of shipping as-is.

It's the opinion of the people that recorded the video that the Wii U version is slightly smoother overall. They actually have the average framerate data. They don't need to engage in cherry picking frames showing completely different things.

Deal with it.

>>375683627
The Wii U version has a worse framerate than the 360 version.

Deal with it.

Let's see a picture of op's dusty wiiu.

>inb4 I-I sold it!

charge your 3DS, anon

>>375672340
There's no scam. The only reason the wii u failed is consumers are too retarded to know what's good for them and too retarded to realize the wii u isn't part of the wii.

>The only reason the wii u failed is consumers are too retarded to know what's good for them
What the fuck did he mean by this?

>>375672340
Why would I ever trust Nintendo after the Wii U? I will hop on the Switch train once they've sold like 15 million units. If the Switch slows down like the Wii U did, then I just won't make the same mistake again.

I only bought a Wii U for competitive smash 4 and that's the way it will be used for years to come. Especially since it has melee, brawl and smash 64 after a little modding. The bonus games like BOTW and MOd and the Twilight Princess/Windwaker remakes, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Axiom Verge and Binding of Isaac make my purchase more than worth the money. Switch is a retarded console. Splatoon is still played. What scam again?

>>375685123
MK8* not mod

>>375685123
Still way less games worth playing than Gamecube or Wii and MK8 is obsolete now

>instead of just giving us battlemaps DLC for the Wii U they just make an enhanced port and charge $60

>Bayonetta 2 is trapped on the dying corpse of the Wii U

save her

>>375686101
more than likely ported or put on the shop

>>375684029
looks like you use it often, not dusty at all

>>375686902
or maybe I'm just not a filthy piece of shit

>>375687083
dude you're fooling nobody, you can see in the image that the gamepad is even turned on (battery indicator)

>>375685268
>obsolete

Yes, a port of the game with auto-steering is obviously superior.

>>375687236
Its not turned on dumbo, its charging.

>>375687296
You can turn off the smart steering off retard

>>375687535
and why would you recharge a device you claim not to use?

>>375687665
to watch netflix

>>375687678
you could just watch it on your PC

>>375687791
My PC isn't hooked up to my TV

>>375672340
I actually got my Wii U a year and a half ago for 200 bucks, and I didn't feel burned, because I already had a bunch of compatible controllers for party games, and liked BotW, Xenoblade X, MK8, Bayo 2, and Smash.

That said, I see no reason to make the jump to the Switch. There's literally nothing exclusive announced that excites me even a little.

>>375687820
hook it up then, lazy faggot

>>375688007
no

>>375688000
this
nice trips btw

>>375688007
Why? How is he lazy? He already has a device hooked up for Netflix.

It pretty much ensured I won't buy a nintendo system until that systems lifespan has ended.

It's the only way to come out decently with them.

Amiibos also kinda pushed me away hard.

>>375672652
Go away retarded 15 year old. I got plenty of mileage out of the Wii U.

>>375675183
Impossible you were born after it.

>>375688391
I don't care what you got.

>>375688263
that device has to recharge, his PC doesn't

>>375688347
I fucking hate those things. I didn't mind it when it was shit like those gay mii costumes in MK8, but when you lock game content behind them, like AI difficulty in Smash and costumes/horses in BotW, it just rubs me the wrong way. Makes me not want to pick up the games that require them.

>>375688583
All I gotta do is set the pad in the charging port ya dummy.

I'm one of the faggots that paid $350 for this piece of shit. The damage control for Nintendo fanboy community on yt and reggie's bullshit unlogical comments has pretty much killed any interest I have with nintendo consoles or ninty games ever since 2014 till now.

>>375672340
The Wii U was no scam. It was the only true gaming console of the gen. No normalfag bullshit. Just games.

>Just games.
Yeah well when your games consist of this garbage, don't expect people to be happy about it

>>375688658
>>375688583
Yeah, all that has to charge is the gamepad. That's assuming he can't use another controller if he has it.

I wouldn't know, I don't use Netflix on my Wii u

>>375688659
>bought a wii u to play blops
the fuck?
Also, you're clearly not the same guy as the anon that initially posted that image praised the wii u iirc.

>>375688636
I've avoided most games that have amiibo locked content. It's not right and it will never be alright.

It's the worst and most anti consumer handling of disc locked content I've seen.

>>375688660
As someone who owns and enjoys his Wii U on occasion, you are flat-out wrong. I've gotten far more enjoyment out of my PS4, and for much less money (which is really saying something, considering I already had 4 wii motes and 4 classic pro controllers, and I wound up buying 2 additional DS4s at full price).

>>375688737
MH3U, Splatoon, Tropical Freeze, Bayonettas and Pikmin 3 are all great games. No bullshit. Just great fun games.

>>375688952
Thanks for reminding me about that. I'll need to keep that in mind when considering the switch (which will be a LONG time from now, I have the feeling).

>>375689102
monster hunter is grindy unfun bullshit for subhumans

Yeah, no, anyone who says this is just a fanboy.

I spent a whole year, from E3 2015 to 2016, asking Nintendo to announce one single new game for Wii U at E3.

One guess what resulted from that.

>>375689029
PS4 has Bloodborne and that's it. Wii U has a bunch of great games and all for free with the help of /hbg/.

>>375689314
I should really get homebrew running on my Wii U. I didn't do it to my Wii and that was always a mistake.

>>375689314
>PS4 has Bloodborne and that's it.
Oh but the fucking Zelda remasters count on Wii U right
Go fuck yourself, fanboy

>>375689314
I've enjoyed playing Horizon, Nioh, BB, NieR Automata, and Persona 5. I've got more games to get, as my PC is a fucking toaster that runs Linux Mint.

>>375689178
The greatest platformer ever made

>>375676203
It can't be a Sony poster because OP implied there was trust in Nintendo in the first place. So most likely it's a Nintendo owner who legitimately felt like they got ripped off.

>>375688441
I was born in '86.

N64 was a complete betrayal of everything Nintendo had built with the NES and SNES. Gamecube followed the same path the N64 did and it flopped even harder.

The N64 fucked everything up.

>>375691334
I was born the same year, and liked the N64 (although I hated the controller). All my friends had the N64, too.

Everyone jumped ship for the PS2, though.
