Is there any reason to own this console?

>>384791458

There's no reason to own any console.

>>384791458
if you like the absolutely tiny library, sure. Also if you can get it on sale you have a good 1080 HD emulator machine for cheap. I would sell mine if I didn't think I'd get gypped on the price and I want to play BotW one of these days so I'll keep it for now.

>>384791458
I'm literally in the process of selling mine.

>>384791458
If you want to replace your wii as an emulation machine that can easily play pirated wii U/wii/GC games, sure.

>>384792490
>>384792193
I already have one just wondering if there's any reason to keep it

You can play GC and Wii games

>>384791458
It has games

>>384792554
not really, no. I was gonna use it as a dedicated netflix machine but my friend gave me a blu-ray player with internet connectivity. I'm just gonna buy a roku/firestick. Like I said, the ONLY thing I'm holding out for is BoTW

>>384792557
OP might as well pick up a Wii for cheap and spend an hour putting mods and roms on it. it already has native GC support

>>384792554
well if it's still on 5.5.1 then you may be able to sell it for a bit more in the future as the latest update fucked entry points.

W101 and Bayo are strongly being hinted to get have some sort of presence on the Switch by Platinum Games.

If Tropical Freeze gets ported to either the Switch or even the fucking New 3DS, then no, there's no reason to own it.

There never was, and now that some nerds created the Wii U USB Helper there is literally no reason to and you'd be stupid if you still keep yours.

No.

Bayo 2 and W101 for now.
W101 alone made the purchase worth it for me.

>>384791458
its has a couple of gems that still aren't ported to switch yet
im kinda getting buyers remorse on switch though

>>384791458
MH3U
That's it.

I really like Tropical Freeze and Smash, but I don't want to rebuy them either unless Smash adds a ton of content. MK8's port isn't enough for me to buy a Switch. Waiting for Metroid Prime 4 until further notice.

I got mine for Xenoblade, Smash, Bayo 2, and MH3U. I'm happy with it.

>>384794908
>>384795123
Only subhumans play monster hunter

Exclusives and backwards compatibility

I soft modded mine and hooked it up to a 500gb HDD. It has a decent library and you can't go wrong with all the free virtual console and eshop games after soft modding it.

>>384791458

15-20 great games plus Wii back compat

>>384795254
>15-20
Not even close, dude. Only way you can get a number that high is if you count literal garbage like Color Splash and Star Fox.

>>384791458
I use mine to browse the internet in bed. It's got a much better browser than pretty much any phone I've ever used, somehow. I watch a lot of shit on youtube, and also stream anime since the small screen means 720 is as good as I'll get anyway.

>>384795208
Who the hell wants to play fucking Wii games in 2017?

>>384795416
Me
Next question?

>>384795414
>since the small screen means 720 is as good as I'll get anyway.
The Wii U pad is 480p, not 720

>>384791458
What the hell is up with the Wii U hate?
There's loads of reasons to own it:
>Native support for Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U games
>Free online
>Best library this gen
>Great miscellaneous features (miiverse, superb browser for a console)
The ONLY reason to hate this console is its specs, which makes no sense on /v/ because /v/ loves the PS2.

>>384795510
well there you go, then. Of course I'll download my animu if I'm watching it on an actual screen, but for comfy bed time shit I don't really notice the quality drop.

>>384795517
>What the hell is up with the Wii U hate
People are feeling some serious buyers remorse since the entire library is being ported to Switch. Seems Nintendo decided to take the PS4 route and just have a whole gen of remasters.

>>384795625
>the entire library is being ported to Switch
lol

It makes a good Nintendo piracy machine. Can play Wii, Gamecube, WiiU games, virtual console games, eshop games, etc

Super easy to mod too. It's basically the 3DS of consoles with an admittedly weaker library but still free games nerds

>>384795517
>gamecube
no

>>384795517
Miiverse is being shut down and the browser honestly isn't even that good. If I post on 4chan with it, it doesn't even remember to keep legacy captcha once I close out even if I re-open it in just a few minutes.

>>384791458

As someone who hasn't had a Nintendo console since 64 it gives me free Wii U/ Wii and GameCube games so it's pretty amazing so far.

>>384795669
It is
>Pokken and MK8 already ported
>Bayo 2 and W101 heavily hinted to be ported
What does Wii U get to keep? Fucking Star Fox Zero? lol

>>384792490
Wii U can play GameCube games? How's the emulation? Is it true 1080p?

>>384795329
Mario Maker
Bayo
Bayo 2
Pikman 3
TW101
WWHD
TPHD
BotW
NSMBU
Mario 3D World
Captain Toad
Wooly World
Pokken
Smash 4
Mario Kart 8
Rayman Legends
Lego City Undercover
Darksiders II
Minecraft
DKC Tropical Freeze
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Nintendoland
Splatoon

Just off the top of my head. Not all of them are all-timers, but a majority of games aren't.

me. still working through this lot.

>>384795686
Yes it plays gamecube games. Look up nintendont, it's a gamecube loader. You can put all your WiiU games on an external HDD and run gamecube games from SD. High capacity SD cards are dirt cheap now and nintendont has support for the gamecube controller adapter if you want to be a nostalgiafag

>>384795178
Yet people here have been begging for PS4 and PC ports of it for years.

>>384795856
>counts the Zelda remasters
>counts shit like Darksiders which runs objectively worse on Wii U
>counts BOTW which runs like dogshit on Wii U
Opinion discarded

>>384795827
> 2 games is the entire library
lol

>>384795856
>Minecraft
Are you fucking kidding me? Why would you even include that?
It's like putting Bethesda games on consoles

>>384795985
4 games actually.
And those are the only ones that matter. No one likes shit like NSMBU or Captain Toad

>>384795945
BotW runs like crap on any system you play it on.

It's still the best game of 2017. It's still available on Wii U.

Stay mad.

>>384795924
ah, do you have to pirate/emulate, you can't just stick the disc in.

Then it's not a valid argument, otherwise the PSP is infinitely superior to the SNES because it can emulate all SNES games. Stick to the official stuff.

>>384795827

so it's Switch owners who should have buyers remorse then. literally a port machine without backwards compatibility.

>>384795625
But it's all games we played 3-to 2 years ago.
If people reasoned like that we would have no consoles at all because "we'll emulate it sooner or later".

>>384796131
Who cares about disc based media in 2017? My WiiU is all digital games I obtained for free.

>>384796112
Not an argument. Enjoy your nogaems tablet for now my early adopter friend

>>384796186
This.

Getting mad that last gen games get ported to current gen systems is silly. It's not like it somehow invalidates all the fun I had over the past four years.

This is a poor person's mentality IMO.

>>384796210
People who aren’t pecucks or pirates

>>384792898
>Have to plug your fucking phone into it to voice chat
Lmao, the Wii U is unironically superior.

>>384796210
Sure, and if I gave John Wall a gun and let him shoot other players the Wizards would win a championship.

Don't be a fuckhead and bring illegitimate, rule-breaking, illegal shit into this.

>>384796210
*stolen

>>384796432
But WiiU modding is literally the only reason to own one in 2017. Why wouldn't I talk up the best reason to own the console in a WiiU thread?

Are you one of those brainlets that's too stupid to follow a modding guide or something?

>>384796316
this guy gets it. I don't understand why people get butthurt when someone else gets something for cheaper than they got it first. It's pure salt. You decided the game was worth whatever price you paid for it, and presumably got to enjoy it before the other person did. Them getting it on sale doesn't negate your experience or retroactively cost you money.

And if you're seriously torn up about a 60 dollar luxury purchase from over a year ago, you clearly don't have the income to support this hobby anyway.

>>384796131
Emulation isn't native support. The Wii U plays every Gamecube game 1:1, even Dolphin has trouble with a significant amount of them. And most SNES emulators have trouble with a lot of SNES games.

>>384796316
Wii U games get ported after less than 2 years. If I had known that would happen I would've never bought them and just waited for Switch.

>>384791458
nope, never was.

i wanna play that fatal frame game

>>384796178
But those ports are new to them, and have much better performance than Wii U

>>384791458
If you can get it for cheap yes. But knowing Nintendo drones they'll want a fortune for one thinking it's a priceless treasure.

Mario Maker was pretty fun.

>>384796624
>presumably got to enjoy it before the other person did.
Oh my god, who gives a fuck?

>>384796801
Don't bother, it's censored

>>384797101
The samus costume is even lewder imo

>>384796116
>BotW runs like crap on any system you play it on.
Nice meme WiiUcuck

>>384797101
Just download the uncensored patch. There's one for Xenoblade X and Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE as well.

>>384797171
No it isn't
>>384797301
There isn't an uncensor patch

>>384796887
I don’t think that many people bought the Switch as their first ninty console

>>384797274
Dawg I played it on Switch. Texture filtering is bad here too. Frames drop in heavy areas here too.

Luckily I don't care b/c BotW is a once in a generation game. But I'm not going to pretend like my version is leaps and bounds above the Wii U version, because it's not. Not graphics/performance wise anyway. Portability is great though.

>>384797420
Lots of people skipped Wii U

>>384797383
Yes there is. Someone replaced the costumes with the uncensored ones and ripped the censored fmv from the jap version. It takes a bit more work to mod in than the other games but it's doable.

There should still be a guide up on gbatemp or wiiuiso

>>384797383
We agree to disagree then

hack it and play free games?

>>384797557
Its only on loadiine which doesn't work anymore on latest firmware. You can't uncensor a USB installed version

>>384797557
Sounds like a hassle if I can just look up pics of the costumes and fap
3 hours of tinkering for 10 minutes of fun

>>384797595
I already bought every game worth a shit long before it got hacked, and not a single good game came out after it was hacked

>>384797737
It's much better than having some out of place Nintendo shilling costumes.

>>384797754
you have i have not i have not even got to play BOTW yet

>>384797937
Why do you own a Nintendo console if you dislike their first party franchises?

>>384791458
No, Nintendo are going to port all of the games to the Switch because they can't be bothered to make anything new.

>>384798117
I like Nintendo but it bugs the fuck out of me that they removed costumes designed by the game makers themselves and replace them with costumes to shill other Nintendo games and look extremely out of place

>>384798084
Then do it?

Wonderfu- oh wait
Bayonet- nevermind
Mario kar- woops
Donkey Kong Jungle Freeze... Ok there's one reason

>>384798602
well i need 200 dollars first so i can buy one from nintendo refurbished but i likely will do that very soon if i still cant find a switch instock for its MSRP and not some inflated price

>>384798634
Tropical Freeze will probably get ported since it doesn't even use the second screen
I hope it doesn't though, Wii U needs to keep a few good games at least

>>384798986
If it's on the latest firmware you won't be able to hack it, you need on 5.5.1

>>384799185
>needs to keep
why? because a bunch of teenagers on /v/ will """""""banter"""""" your console with crying wojaks and hyperironic falseflags?
if anything needs anything, it's switch needing non-ported/"remastered" games
