I want to get Zelda BOTW. Should I get it for Wii U or for Switch?

Cemuposting aside, the Wii U is all but dead at this point, but the modding scene will no doubt start up once Nintendo finally drops it once and for all. The Switch on the other hand is a long term investment, but with a bright future ahead of it, if Nintendo can keep their promise on delivering the long line of first party exclusives they have planned.

Switch if you want new games
Wii U will have no notable new gaes, but can play any wii and gc game and has many virtual console games

>>384803137

I kind of want to say Wii U. Those game prices are going to rise in price soon, I'm betting.

>>384803137
Wii U by far.

>Mods
>emulators
>cheaper
>BOTW on average loads faster, thats why many speedrunners prefer wii u over switch

>>384803137
Wii U version as an investment.
Switch version is objectively better.

The Wii U can be had for around £90-£110.
The Switch is still £279.

If you have neither console, get the switch. Better future prospect and better performances.

>>384803749
They count loading times for speedruns? That's dumb

wiiu imo.
unless you already have a wii you can get a boot loader for the virtual wii easy and get access to both wiiu and wii libraries

>mfw I bought the wiiu mario maker bundle that was even more expensive than a switch

lock me up m8s

>>384803957
Depend on the category and the games. Since consoles are identical, this mean that loading time should be identical. This is also why people speedrun on PC if they can.

>>384803749
Many Speedrunners also are students with almost no money who cant afford the Switch.

>bought wii u version because i didnt have a switch
>feel left out because the switch guys have a better framerate

>>384803137
OP here. seems still pretty split down the middle. Doesn't Wii U have slightly better loading times?

I don't know, I just don't know what the heck is coming out for switch and I hate the controller.

The Switch has a ton of games coming for it, and the Wii U games will mostly be ported too.

The controller is fine really, But I would recommend getting the Pro Controller.

This is a good point and has made me think twice about trading in my WiiU now. You know if the scene has been gaining any traction as of late?

Here the switch games exclusives

>>384803137
Get it for the Switch. There's no point investing in a dead console. Especially since the Switch is getting ports of Wii U games and new games of its own.

>>384803137
Homebrew your Wii U and you can get access to the entirety of Nintendo's library, sans 3DS/Switch, for free.
So far all the Switch has is a handful of Wii U ports and games that might as well be Wii U ports like Splatoon 2, now with paid online

>>384806092
>for free
Stealing is not getting stuff for free.

>>384805803

Nigga I can play Monopoly RIGHT NOW without even turning on any game console

>>384806271
>Getting stuff for free illegally is not getting stuff for free
What did he mean by this?

>>384806271
Stealing is very much free, by definition.
You should have pointed out that stealing is not an argument because you could steal ANYTHING and claim that it's free.

>>384806332
You didnt obtain it for free. You stole it. Big legal difference. Getting a free balloon and stealing one is not the same thing

>>384806278
No other consoles will have that version of monopoly.

>>384806515
> being this much of a shill
just kys

>>384806634
>being against theft is shilling.
No it's not. Support your hobby or let it die.

>>384803137
I'd say since you don't already own a Wii U, to just get a switch.

I'm a psycho who has both versions on wii u and switch and played them both.
They both play pretty much the same so if you already had a wii u I'd be telling you to just get that.

>>384806683
>shilling for monopoly switch is now no longer shilling of the lowest possible order

And it's not a problem to steal software. The internet has brought us free replication of software code, you should cast off the old economic model and embrace the gift of immense knowledge is now freely available to all across mankind. But you keep shilling for your toy factory because of branding you've unwittingly suffered as an ignorant child, hilarious.

>>384806931
Nothing is free, kiddo. Electricity, hard drives, software etc. etc. that is, stuff needed for your pirate communist utopia isn’t free

>>384805606
I'd hang onto your Wii U. My theory is that it'll end up like the Saturn and Dreamcast where the games become hard to get or at least retain their pricey value.

>>384803352
wiiu games -> splatton, mario kart8, mash, pokken, mario 3d, zelda
switch new games -> splatton, mario kart8, mash, pokken mario 3d, zelda

>>384806931
How am I shilling. Shilling is promoting a company. I'm not. I'm saying that you are stealing and stealing is not getting something for free.

If you have a problem getting called a theft, then it's your problem.

>>384807123
> being this much of a retard
You still dont understand what the information age means. Your words are meaningless because you can't really stop free replication of information. Your cries against my pirating amuse me at best, like someone claiming analogue records produce superior sound, when that's objectively untrue:)

>>384807350
Information needs to be created first before it can be replicated, kid.

>>384806092
>Sequals are "basically ports" now

Is that the hip new way retards say they hate a game now?

>>384807278
I dont mind it being called a theft, becuase in a way it is a theft. I just dont think it's a theft that's problematic. Information should be shared freely for the furtherment of mankind. Holding back progress is cancerous.

But yeah you are shilling for nintendo, trying to pretend monopoly switch is something fresh is just rancid.

>>384807504
I honestly dont care if nintendo goes bankrupt, other things will take its place. Nintendo are a bunch of lowballing thugs anyway, milking their retarded fanbase with last gen hardware for premium pricing, literally worse than apple as they don't innovate at all.

No I'm fine with them going bankrupt and I will not pay a single cent to them.

Having said that, you are thinking in old economic terms, the information age has just begun, and there are different economic models in the works for when you can't really sell your software anymore in the traditional sense (take a look at kickstarter, patreon etc)

>>384803137
Get a Switch OP. It's inevitable the system will be supporting many gems in the foreseeable future. Releasing within six months you've got Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, and a mainline Fire Emblem game. Three excellent games that will no doubt be discussed on /v/ for years to come.

>>384803137
I say get the Switch. It already has better versions of the good Wii U games plus portability and even more games are still coming out.

>>384806931
>And it's not a problem to steal software.

Why was the Wii U so good for Zelda? It had

>Wind Waker HD
>Twilight Princess HD
>Hyrule Warriors
>Breath of the Wild
>Nearly every other Zelda game ever made on eshop

>>384807851
Those simply supplement normal economy, kid.

>>384803137

Get a Switch. 720p on WiiU, 900p on Switch. The WiiU version looks like shit on my 60 inch TV. Insane amount of aliasing.

BOTW also dips down to 20 FPS on the WiiU ....often.

BOTW looks amazing on the Switch-screen. Running at a native 720p and a stable framerate.

>>384805606
Last I checked, you could pirate all sort of stuff on it, even DLC and eShop titles.

>>384808279
> hurr muh racisms durrr

>>384808541
Normal economy is becoming a moot point soon with the further automatisation and robotisation. There is literally no reason to buy games when you can just replicate them for free. Game developers will have to rethink their economic models as you can't really stop progress.

Bought any cd's lately? Or are you one of those saps that like to purchase music through the istore, hahahaha!

>>384807851
>they don't innovate at all

Nintendo's pricing and hardware are both shit but this right here is ultra-false. Microsoft and Sony have spent the past 3 generations refining what is essentially the same formula for consoles and controllers, while Nintendo has thrown out something radically different each time. They pushed motion controls with the Wii, and MS and Sony shortly followed. They put dual screens on a handheld, and then a home console, which was unfortunately under-utilized given how much it could improve the QoL in so many games. Now they've got gyro controls in every controller, one-handed controllers, and a console that you can play as a mobile device.

Nintendo's entire fucking selling point is that they shake up the conventional formula just because they fucking can. How do you not recognize this?

>>384807646
>anti capitalist anarchist
Bro. People need to eat.

>>384808401
The Switch will have Skyward Sword HD though.

Wii-U is hacked.
Wii-U = entire Wii-U/Wii/Gamecube library. Just need a decent sized hard drive, and an SD card.

>>384803137
Wii U obviously.
Switch version runs at a way lower resolution and has way lower fps.
Don't believe anyone that tells you that the switch version runs and/or looks better. They're just trying to justify their shitty purchase by telling lies on the internet.

CEMU -> Wii U -> Not playing it at all -> Switch

>>384803137

Also its not your TV its your parents.

I see you've been listening to marketers telling you lies.
Switch isn't even half as powerful as a Wii U which is obvious since it's a handheld.

>>384808048
>Games where the previous releases were dogshit will be "Gems" because ...
Considder suicide

>>384803137
Why would you buy a dead console?

Buy a Switch. There are several great games coming out for it just in the next few months, on top of everything that's already been released.

Switch has legit been my best purchase in years.

>>384810624

>>384810769
I like when people talk about the switch frame they always think of that digital foundry image comparison but never acknowledges the new performance videos and even the patches. The only area dips below 30 consistently is lost woods.

>>384807183
wtf is mash
Splatoon 2 is basically Splatoon 1 + 50% more DLC stuff, the new Mario 3D is completely different too
But I'll admit Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Pokken are rehashes. BotW isn't though, since it came out on both systems at the same time

>>384809334
You know all those ''innovations'' you mentioned where implemented earlier, right?

I'll grant you that the switch brought waggle to the casual market but I'm not entirely sure if that should be considered a feat in gaming.

I'd purchase a Switch over the Wii U for several reasons:

1. Nintendo seems more than willing in porting over Wii U titles in between their Switch titles. There's also been hints of other exclusives like Wonderful 101 making its way to the console.

2. The Switch is just a far better platform. I briefly owned a Wii U but hated how cheap it felt. It's probably the first time a console got in the way of my enjoyment of its games. The UI felt like it was designed for children, too, though it isn't as if the Switch is perfect either. There's also the fact that the Switch is a portable console. I expected it to be a gimmick but I love being able to take it with me wherever I go and even just around the house outside of my office.

3. Switch games. I feel like I'm stating the obvious here, but there's actually a fairly compelling lineup this year. Xenoblade 2, Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2; there's a wide variety of titles that I personally wouldn't want to miss. But if all you're looking for is BotW, I don't think the Switch is the superior version to the degree in which you have to play it there rather than the Wii U.

The prospect of modding a Wii U sound pretty good, too. You're also going to be spending half the money it'd cost for a Switch. If none of these factors matter and it's strictly a matter of BotW, get a Wii U or emulate.

>>384813920
Never go full /pol/. You know they are ironic, right?

>>384810962
You're one autistic fuck, I believe you'd be doing the gene pool a favor if you went first.

>>384808401
If you count all the remakes and both versions of Hyrule Warriors, that brings us to a total of 9 Zelda games released last generation.
