This is a strawman. Nintendo sold us a bunch of games that rely on online to be good and now they're just killing the communities not even 2 years later.
>>379306895

Its all on Switch. That's the problem. It won't get to keep any of its exclusives.

I enjoyed playing Mario Kart 8 for 4 years before Switch came out. Not to mention a host of other games not coming to Switch yet.

At the very least, the system was better than the Wii. The games and hardware wasn't a problem. Just Nintendo's lack of marketing.

>>379307440
>I enjoyed playing Mario Kart 8 for 4 years
It came out 3 years ago.
>>379307440
>the system was better than the Wii.
Not even close.
Galaxy 1 and 2 > 3D World
Sin and Punishment 2 > Star Fox Zero
Mad World > Devil's Third
And that's not even counting games that have no counter part on Wii U like the Trauma Center and Team games.

>>379306895
this, desu
you can play GC, wii and wiiu games natively and even go online with pirated copy of a game.

>>379307582
Wii U is better than the Wii since you can play the entire Wii library on it, making the Wii redundant.

A used Wii costs like $40 and actually has games. A used Wii U costs $300 and has no games.
Why would I spend an extra $260 on a no games machine?

>>379308281
If I had known back in 2014 that the Switch would exist, I would've never wasted money on a Wii U or any of its games.

>>379308451
>A used Wii U costs $300
maybe where you live, but not for me. Got mine for £120 brand new with MK8 and Splatoon.

>>379308451

Except you can buy a brand new one for $200 and it does have games.

>>379308849
>Except you can buy a brand new one for $200
Refurbished ones. Not new ones.
>it does have games.
And they're all on Switch so they aren't worth playing now.

>>379309093

>And they're all on Switch
No, they aren't. Wii U had more than just Zelda and Mario Kart 8. You're just proving how little you even know about the Wii U.

>>379309093
only like 4 games got switch ports, it's still worth having a wii u for exclusives like XCX, Mario Maker, 3D World, Cpt. Toad, Splatoon, Bayo 2, W101, etc.

Maybe some of those will have ports in future (I could see them porting Bayo 2 if/when Bayo 3 is revealed), but I highly doubt every one of those will be ported.

>>379309368
I own one faggot
>>379309428
Most people are begging for them to be ported. There's another thread right now where people are saying XCX will 100% be ported to Switch.

Keep those enlightened posts coming.

I own every worthwhile Wii U game, even the niche ones like TMS, Xenoblade and W101
>>379310001

They will. If they've ported pokken there's no way in hell they aren't porting Smash

>>379310371

>They will.
WHich is very different from your original claim that Switch already has every good game. And they probably won't port games like Xenoblade X, Mario Maker or Splatoon 1 as they're all getting sequels on Switch.

>>379310713
Xenoblade X will ported for sure. People are begging for it.

Hold on to it.

In 10 years, dumb fucks will pay like $1000 for them because they will be rare.

But yeah, total waste of money.

>>379310850
Speaking of that.
I have a sealed copy of BOTW on Wii U. I pre-ordered it but I started playing when it leaked and forgot to cancel my pre-order.
I'm considering opening it, because my leaked version of BOTW has fucked sound files. Some dont play at all, and some of the memories just play really loud static.
What should I do? Keep it sealed or open it?

>>379311027
buy it again on e-shop because the disc version has long load times

>>379311316
I don't want to buy it. I played the pirated EUR version because that was the one that leaked.
Tried re-downloading it from utik, didn't help

>>379311027

The game is getting update patches that fix things like sound files (and an option to turn off the god awful British Zelda voice). So if you want those patches, you need to use the real game.

>>379311647
No, you can download the updates and DLC from Wii U USB helper. In fact I already download the voice update, and I have the items from the season pass (had them since the game launched). I don't think you know what you're talking about

>>379311820

>I don't think you know what you're talking about
Since you seem to know so much, why are you asking others what you should do with your game you stupidly forgot to cancel a pre order on?

>>379312420
I'm asking if you guys think it will be worth a lot if I keep it sealed. I dont have experience selling stuff like that

>>379312608

They made millions of them. It might sell for around its initial sales price, but it won't be worth a ton of money. It's not going to be like a Pokemon game.

To be 100%, I genuinely loved my Wii U. I still had a big Wii backlog, and being able to play off the tablet was an absolute godsend.

Granted, the only Wii U games I gave a shit about were Smash Bros and Mario Maker, so I can completely understand the frustration

ITT: Wii U owner with shit taste and buyers remorse that's his own fault, trying desperately to blame it on the console.

No matter how many great games you post here and great reasons for having a Wii U this dumbass will invariably shoot it down because he's a spiteful person with such appauling taste that he can't find any good games to run on the machine he bought with at least 20 different High profile console exclusives, all of which can easily be pirated along with the rest of the library filled with hidden gems that he's too jaded and shit-gobbling to ever even bother giving a shot, assuming he's even being genuine.

There should be no mercy for consolewar babies mindlessly shitflinging. OP is probably falseflagging to start shit anyway so reminder to sage if you want to bother to join the shitflinging. Anyone with half a brain and an ounce of taste can easily make a Wii U a worthwhile purchase.

>>379314163
Anon I played DKTF 2 years ago. Its a good game but there's only so much mileage you can get out of a 2D platformer.

>>379314163
>at least 20 different High profile console exclusives
That's way too high of a number. Don't be disingenous.
The only way you can get to 20 games on Wii U if you're counting literal garbage like Color Splash, Star Fox and Devil's Third.

I bought a Wii U expecting Dragon Quest X to come to the west. And that one game alone would have made my purchase worth it. But of course Squeenix screwed the fanbase once again.

For a while, I felt like owning a Wii U was worthless. But by the end, I had 8 really good games. Mario Kart 8, Splatoon and Zelda made the system worth it easily. And Captain Toad was my surprise game of last gen. I don't feel mad that games like MK8 and Zelda are on Switch. I feel happy that they will be enjoyed by more people.

>>379307582
MK8 > MKWii
Sm4sh > Brawl
Bayonetta 2 > Mad World
Tropical Dong > DKCR
WWHD, TPHD, and BOTW > TPWii and SS
Splatoon > ...The Conduit, I guess?

>>379315609
WWHD is complete garbage, just like the original.
TPHD isn't that much of an improvement over TP. Certainly not worth paying $60 for
And BOTW is better on Switch

I just wish there were some hidden gems and weird shit like there was on the Wii. Everything worth owning has Nintendo's fingerprints on it, even stuff like Bayo 2 and Fatal Frame which they paid for or own part of.

as for the console itself, yeah it's kinda shit. Give it another year or two and even the hardest of hardcore Nintendogs won't defend that tablet idiocy they went for.

>>379316159

Well, step one, buy Mario Kart 8 and Captain Toad.

Step two, actually play the games instead of bitching on 4chan.

Is there an uncensor patch for Fatal Frame like there is for Wii U?
Fuck NoA and their garbage changes.

>>379316962

Anyone who lists good games gets faggy shitposting as a response anyway so it's not worth it.

The point still stands. A very small number of games is being ported. Granted, with Pokken being added it kind of makes you think that number will increase, but it's just shitposting until it does.

Its just hard to find clean Wii rips. I'm in the same boat, the only clean ISO I've found is one for Muramasa. I know I didn't install anything wrong either, because I ripped my own digital copies of Galaxy and No More Heroes and I can run both fine.

I'd make the claim that xbox one is hands down the most pointless console of that gen considering ps4 and pc put it to shame and the wii u actually has good exclusives, but you would just say that wii u wasn't in the same gen.

>>379317848
just look up "homebrew vwii" or "vwii hacking"
You might need a copy of Brawl.

>>379306586

>>379317967
I don't know dude, I think if they're going to go as far as to port stuff like Pokken then they're probably going to port everything.
>>379318032
>you would just say that wii u wasn't in the same gen.
Why would I say that?
Also, its pretty disingenuous to count TPHD and WWHD as Wii U games and then turn around and ignore ports on PS4 and XB1

I don't even like Star Fox games, but come on, my dude.

Also, if you're desperate you can sign up for romulation or search emudesc for Wii ISO flies. Hispanic sites have a decent number of games, or if you prefer to torrent there's always DarkUmbra.

cfgUSBLoader MOD is the best choice of a backup launcher. I got sick and tired of Neogamma not being able to load some games so I just switched and most games work now

>>379306586

Nah, that's the Xbone. WiiU had a handful of great exclusives. Easily Nintendo's worst console and one of the worst in that specified timeframe, but it's still not as profoundly pointless as a Xbone.

This. If you only consider the things that each console can do the the other consoles can't do the the xbone loses. I don't even like sony, in fact, I fucking hate them and their fans, but ps4 is great and the wii u is a great companion.

Not that guy, but there's a massive difference betwen a game like BotW and Last of Us. BotW did have too much focus on story, but it was 99% free roaming exploration. Games like MGS IV, Final Fantasy XIII and Last of Us was made specifically to be a 'cinematic experience'.

Also, both Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword were far worse. Both in linearity and amount of cutscenes.

For starters, I'd say games that have more budget put into the gameplay than fancy CGI graphics, voice acting, or special effects.

>>379323586

>BotW did have too much focus on story, but it was 99% free roaming exploration. Games like MGS IV, Final Fantasy XIII and Last of Us was made specifically to be a 'cinematic experience'.
you could make the same argument with a game like Skyrim or Fallout or Star Wars: the Old Republic. "there's tons of free roaming exploration, it's open, it's depth!". But ultimately it's just filler until the game eventually nudges you into the next cutscene. With Zelda's case, there's nothing to do but kill ganon. everything is literally filler that's not necessary for the game, and that just makes the game aimless. Might as well play minecraft at that point.

>>379323363
Fine, on the offchance you're not baiting, and just retarded, I'll give you one legitimate reply of arguments.

1 hour and 40 minutes of cutscenes
I have 140 hours of gametime in BOTW
Breath of the Wild literally has a 100:1 gameplay to cutscene ratio. Even the lowest playtime are around 80-90 hours. That dwarfs the cutscene time by an unreal amount.

Platinum games are good for and intended for multiple playthroughs my playtime on Bayo2 is about 30 hours. You don't really rewatch all the cutscenes unless you're showing the game off to somebody so I have about 26-28 hours of gameplay in relation to roughly 2 hours of cutscenes. Seems more than acceptable. Especially when you consider that about half of those cutscenes are still images so as to spend as absolutely little of their budget as possible on it.

FUCK YOU, XENOBLADE IS THE SHIT

Vita has more games than Wii U, sold more, and is still getting new games

I have almost every Zelda game ever released on my wiiu, so no. This was not a waste of money

on what other system could you play meme run? That's what I thought.

I would make that case and that's why Skyrim sucked. Zelda BotW however wasn't about just going to the next cutscene. Which is why its commonly said to be what Skyrim should have been.

The Zelda cutscenes can be completely ignored. And even if you do seek them out, its just that, something you have to actually explore to find. Skyrim just puts an icon on the map and you run to it.

>With Zelda's case, there's nothing to do but kill ganon. everything is literally filler that's not necessary for the game, and that just makes the game aimless.

So in other words, you don't like the main focus of the game. Nothing wrong with that. You don't have to play BotW. But you also shouldn't be comparing it to other cinematic/story focused games. BotW is nothing like say Final Fantasy X, which does focus on story, but the story itself is shown to be filler after you learn about Yu Yevon and the church. BotW didn't base the entire game on its story. It focused on exploring with the story being a minor part of it.

>>379323927
This is such a stupid point.
It has the worst versions of OOT and MM.
Any old toaster can emulate SNES, NES, GB and GBA games
And it has the worst version of BOTW.
And literally no one likes the DS games.
I guess it has the best version of WW, the worst Zelda ever.

>1 hour and 40 minutes of cutscenes
>I have 140 hours of gametime in BOTW
So why not get rid of the cutscenes? If the gameplay was so good, then clearly they don't need such a crutch, do they? You shouldn't also "need a reason" since the game should be fun, right? Yet every time I suggest this, people often go "B-BUT THAT WOULD RUIN EVERY PART OF THE GAME, I NEED THE CINEMATICS EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE OPTIONAL!" Pretty funny actually. My argument is that, if they didn't have to waste money on those stupid cutscenes, perhaps we'd have a game that ran at something other than a vomit inducing 30 FPS.

>Platinum games are good for and intended for multiple playthroughs my playtime on Bayo2 is about 30 hours.
So again, why the cutscenes? And why are there constant quick time events during the gameplay? I don't like mashing a button mindlessly, or getting shoved into an instant death trap because I didn't press x during the epic cinematic movie moment.

>b-but it makes you stay awake during the cinematics

If I'm falling asleep during your game, you have alot of bigger issues to deal with.

Not that guy but have way over 2000 hours clocked into Splatoon alone. Another shitload consisting of several hundred hours on Smash, 140 hours of BotW, and around 100 hours each in MK8 & Hyrule Warriors.

I've got a lot of mileage out of the console and still have a huge stack of games for it that I've yet to get to.

>>379324205

>The Zelda cutscenes can be completely ignored.
So why are they there period? Optional story shouldn't exist ever. Optional gameplay I can see a valid defense for, but when you've studded the land with story-laden tripmines, you de-incentivize me from ever wanting to explore. And an open world game that punishes me for exploration is a terribly designed game.

>So in other words, you don't like the main focus of the game. Nothing wrong with that. You don't have to play BotW. But you also shouldn't be comparing it to other cinematic/story focused games.
The reason I compare them is because Zelda IS, ultimately, designed to be cinematic. Every shrine and boss you fight makes the game less videogamey, in particular by making the final boss weaker. Every powerup makes you overpowered and gives you too much storage space. The game never scales to your level. It's like an RPG where, even if you skip every non-mandatory boss battle, you're still over-leveled and you're basically hauling ass around the bad guy's lair without a trouble in the world. And if I want some kind of hard mode or challenge mode? Gotta skip everything and rush right to Ganon, which is 1 hour of gameplay tops. Or I have to shell out 20 bucks for a season pass.

I don't think they should be. Especially not the voice acting. Focusing on cutscenes was a mistake going all the way to the N64 days. But more than half the Zelda fanbase expects it now so they keep doing it. BotW and Link Betwen Worlds did it better since they weren't the focus of the game like the previous half dozen games.

>Optional story shouldn't exist ever.
Okay, can't take you seriously anymore.

>>379306586
Bought it last year with MM. Picked up about 12 titles so far.
Great games, really enjoyable, surprising amount of replayability/endgame content on many.
Overall fantastic value for money.
Would highly recommend to anyone who hasn't already picked one up yet.

>>379324817

>If it's made by japan it's weeb
Do you not know what the term weaboo is referring to or are you an idiot who thinks a game like Dark Souls is a WRPG?

Games like Xenoblade, Resident Evil and MGS are full of Shounen archetypes. Fucking Otakon blatantly points them out as a joke.

>>379324980
>surprising amount of replayability/endgame content on many.
Such as...?

>>379324916

In other words, they're catering to fans who want less videogamey stuff in their product. How is that not disastrous? Sure, they'll obviously make bank, but then they're no better than the competition.

>Okay, can't take you seriously anymore.
What about my statement is wrong? When I'm exploring in a game, nothing makes me groan loader than a cutscene popping out of nowhere. Compare that to me finding a cool optional boss or superboss or something vidoegamey.

>>379325098

>its less videogamey because I say so
>when I do [x] I hate it
This is your problem. You think your opinion is a truth. I dislike cutscenes in games as well, but I don't go around saying Final Fantasy is not a game because they have them. I just don't play Final Fantasy because it obviously doesn't cater to me.

>>379324871
Artstyle isn't weebshit
The dialogue, while cheesy, doesn't take it in a weeaboo direction at all.
Plot lacks any weeb elements to it, like idols being a focus in #FE or highschool life being a focus of Persona
No moeblobs
No waifupandering
No dating
No highschool setting
No fetish pandering
Exactly one, singular loli.

Xenoblade X is more akin to Cowboy Bebop than some moeshit. Now #FE? I love the gameplay. But THATS a fucking weeb game.

>>379324796
I hate it because its quickly losing every exclusive it has.
Like, I spent $60 on Pokken last year and now its getting ported to switch. So I'll have to buy a Switch AND the new Pokken if I want to keep playing online. They don't even give us a discount. Its basically just $60 gone for nothing.
The hacking shit is useless to me, I have my old consoles and PC for that

>>379306586
This has already been said but it's natively 3 gens in one + emulator stuff so it's pretty great even if the actual Wii U library is small. I skipped the Wii and my Gamecube's laser is dead so it's nice to just be able to play those off a USB stick.

Not that guy. But of the games I played.

Captain Toad has an entire extra chapter after the 'main' game ends. As well as incentives to replay the levels again.

Zelda: BotW is self explanatory.

Mario Kart 8, Mario Maker and Splatoon don't focus on a main story and you can play them as much as you want.

>>379325306
>The dialogue, while cheesy, doesn't take it in a weeaboo direction at all.
No, it does. It has very japanese feel to it. For example, why didn't they bring any psychologists or therapists on board to deal with all the mental trauma people went through? The answer is because japs wrote it and they think people who need therapy are weak.

What? I still have all my old consoles and games from when I was a kid, I don't throw them out.
And I can get them for free on PC and it will run them better than Wii U. Why would I play GC games on Wii U when I can play them with HD texture packs on PC?

>>379325261

I'm not trying to push my opinion as fact, but rather I'm trying to see it through a more objective lens. When I say Final Fantasy isn't a game, I bring up objective reasons like "they released an unfinished product that required no less than 10 patches to fix, including one patch that was put in to literally fix another patch that broke the game, and another patch to fix a section of the game that was unfinished and had textures that didn't even load in properly." That is an objective statement, as close to one as you can get at least.

Same with Zelda. They cry about how hard it is to make an open world game run at 60 FPS, but they have no problem shoving in voice acting and cutscenes and fancy CGI everywhere. So their priorities were screwed up from the get-go.

>>379325352
>being salty about ports
Did you also get mad when The Last of Us got ported to PS4?
I also got Pokken and it needs a Switch port. Online is dead anyways and there was no way to revive it, even the update wouldn't have helped. You will probably get as many players online right now as you would if the game never got ported to Switch.
Also, it has lost 3-4 exclusives (maybe 5 if Smash gets ported) out of around 18. Is that really that bad?

Once again, the issue is you think your idea of what they should be prioritizing is the only acceptable thing. When its an opinion based on your personal tastes. I also don't like the cutscenes, but from MY OPINION, BotW was better than the previous half dozen Zelda games because it had less of a focus on cutscenes and more on free roaming exploration. While you're argument is 'if it has any cutscenes at all, its shit and not a game.'

>>379326794

>Once again, the issue is you think your idea of what they should be prioritizing is the only acceptable thing.
Which I base on grounded reasonable facts. For example, it's my opinion that the artstyle looks muddy and ugly. but it's a fact that there's no excuse for the game to run at only 30 FPS, let alone the horrific dips to 10 FPS pre-patches. And that's even worse coming from Nintendo who's quoted as saying "we don't release unfinished games." yeah, those day1 patches really attest to that.

>While you're argument is 'if it has any cutscenes at all, its shit and not a game.'
I'm not trying to say that, however there's no reason for it to have cutscenes if they're optional. Story and cinematics are only for things you absolutely cannot leave out of a game, like maybe an intro scene that lasts 10 or so seconds. You know, stuff you couldn't put in the manual or something. But as someone who plays video games, I don't relish finding a cutscene in any capacity, and I don't know why anyone would. It's directly detrimental to the gameplay experience. It's making you WATCH the game instead of play it. Yes, I'm sure that's just "my opinion" but I don't very well see the validity of an opinion that says "I don't like PLAYING video games."

>>379327305

I like how you claim you're not shifting goalposts, then your entire response about Zelda is a complete deflection away from your previous arguments.

It's not that much of a disappointment. It did have some droughts, but it still had a few good ones. I've got about 17 or so. Not bad when my average is around 20 to 25 for each console I have (this includes PlayStation consoles by the way, in case someone decides to shitpost).

The thing that got me the most was Smash 4 being kind of lackluster in my opinion. I mean, I think all the content is great, but my interest fizzled out for that a lot quicker than the first three. Either that or I'm just getting bored of Smash.

>>379327736
>I've got about 17 or so.
What are they? And how many of them have been ported to Switch?

>>379327473

I'm remaining on point the whole time though. Your game should be focused on being a GAME, nothing more. Stop trying to make art and cinematics and "character development" in a medium where interaction and gameplay are more important, even more so when you're incapable of multitasking.
