Was it really THAT bad?

No.

>>387004764
I skipped it for a reason

nah, mostly just poor marketing/branding. I like it.

No. It had a nice handful of good games on. The recent threads about the Wii U being the worst console ever are just made because faggots like to "troll".

Nah, lets have a WiiU thread

Not pictured in my collection: Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Bros U, Wind Waker HD, Monster Hunter 3U, Rayman Legends, Sonic Lost World (All downloaded) Hyrule Warriors and Lego City Undercover (Recently purchased)

Not recommended: Star Fox Zero, Mario Party, ZombiU, Lego The Hobbit (It's a shitty lego game) and I haven't played Ninja Gaiden yet.

I just started Lego City Undercover today. Have any of you played that fucking game? It's probably easily my favorite modern Lego game.
>Original setting
>Pretty good voice acting

Skipped the wii and bought it 3 years ago. It didn't lasted long but most of it's games were good. It's also the only way to play Wii games on hdmi without emulating.

>Wii U was ba-

>>387005275
Feels like you're missing something. Can't pinpoint what, though.

>>387004764

The Wii U is completely unattractive as a console. The only reason why people would buy it is because Nintendo holds their games hostage on the system. Otherwise its an underpowered piece of shit straight-up and not even a justified one like the Wii.

You can argue that all consoles are like that, but CEMU makes 20k a month for a reason.

>>387005963
One could skip the Wii U and still play most of those games since they'll come to Switch eventually

>>387005963
d. sorry had to clear my throat. yes the wii u was bad.

>>387005807
I know I still play 720p games on the 360 so it doesn't matter.

SNES > GC > N64 > NES > Wii > Wii U

Switch's library is already unironically stronger than the Wii U's lifetime library.

>>387005982
If you come up with it I'd love to hear, I wouldn't mind another game

I have Ducktales Remastered but otherwise I listed everything retail. I also have Fast Racing Neo, Affordable Space Adventures, Pushmo World, and Runbow (as far as eshop exclusives go)

>>387006403
90% of N64 games are fueled only by nostalgia. Early 3D games were the only ones that aged. And they aged BADLY.
Wii was a terrible console that was mostly ruined by waggle. Donkey Kong, Zelda, Wario, all ruined by waggle.

WiiU is easily better than both.

>>387004764
Name killed it. People thought it was just an add-on for the Wii. If they had called it something different it would have sold much better.

Yes. Yes, it truly was. Nintendo kills their brand for a generation: the console. I know a lot of people who literally DO NOT know what a Wii U is.

>>387005275
I love Lego City Undercover, the humor is fun and silly and there's so much shit to do it's insane
The only part I don't like about it is having to backtrack through the actual levels to get everything, but that's a Lego game for you
How far in are you?

>>387006403
Pretty good tier list. I would put Wii above GC simply because it is a GC + some cool Wii games.

>>387005982
>>387005275
He didn't mention Pikmin 3, Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Yoshi's Wooly World I like that game, fuck you, Wonderful 101. I've got more than those, too, but those are all solid games for the system

>>387008260
I've played a little bit past the first level on the skyscrapers

I love that you have to build in order to access some places like that big asian building. The worlds really great to navigate because theres a ton of distinct shit one after the other in the world and just a shitload going on.

>>387008324
I don't think that's entirely fair because you can technically get the entire Nintendo library on the Wii U too. I'm judging it based off of games that have the console name on the box.

I might be being a bit too hard on the Wii though, the only great games I remember were the two Galaxy games, Xenoblade and Donkey Kong. Skyward Sword and Prime 3 were alright but not as good as their predecessors. Although I feel I didn't really fully look into the more obscure games in its library, I hear Pandora's Tower mentioned a lot but know nothing about it.

>>387008373
They're all in my library and I fucking love Wooly World, it's up there with SNES Yoshi, I dont think anyone says it's bad.

>>387008496
The fact that you rate the N64 highly pretty much confirms you're retarded anon.

>>387004764
It had a good bunch of games, but the whole 3rd party and yearly droughts made it a grade A target for shitposting. Plus combined with it's poor sales made it the ultimate nintendo shitposting tool, you can still see the effects of the last 4 years of shitposting carry over to the switch, and that probably won't stop until it's 3rd year

>>387008020
I accidentally let mine update too but I already had haxchi so it didn't matter.

>>387008496
Well, Wii really was THE backwards compatibilty machine. Wii U only backwards to Wii, right? That's fucking lame. Wii gave life to GC library, for those people who skipped a GC. Everyone had a Wii. And GC games were cheap in Wii era. So, all in all, I just consider Wii to have the most SIGNIFICANT backwards compatibility. But yes, I do see what you're saying.

WiiU has Smash 4 and BOTW (Also MM is great but it's not in the same tier as those two.)

It also has Mario Maker, Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, Dong Freeze, Wooly World, Fast Racing NEO, Luigi U, Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, and Pikmin 3

The N64 has the 3 games you mentioned, Smash 64.and a bunch of Rare shit some of which like Goldeneye and Perfect dark you need to play on a modern system to use a decent control scheme. And some like Jet Force Gemini aged badly.

N64 is the home of the only bad kirby game for shit sake.

>>387008991
Bought it on switch because I can take it on the go. I didn't play Mario Kart 8 much because I rarely had enough people over for it to be worth playing, (kind of regret the purchase for this reason) but with 8D I can take it with the Switch to parties and stuff so there's a ton of people playing it.

Shitposterkun pls.

It was developed entirely for the WiiU and ported (as evidence by the fact that it can't even run more than 25 fps in TV mode, and the devs specifically said it was because they ported it from WiiU)

I dont have to pay 360 dollars (430 if you wanted a real controller) to play one game (and only one game)

Mario U isn't up there. You can count both as one. But Luigi U is the length of a standalone game (That's why they sold it in a case)

>>387009693
>>387009709
It runs like crap on Wii U and no one uses TP to argue that Gamecube was good

>>387009653
It can be purchased separately.
It has the same number of courses as NSMBU.
Excusing that you can download it as an attachment to NSMBU, it is basically its own game.

>>387009739
Rainbow Curse didn't suck you little faggot.

And even if it did, it's a spinoff, and Crystal Sharts is the only bad game in the mainline and it's a fucking abomination

>>387009819
Yes they do. They do it all the time. It ran smoother iirc and had zero waggle. Also the Wii rush was insane and nobody could get their hands on it.

Gamecube Twilight Pincess was the smart move you underaged faggot.

>>387009831

This is NEW Super Mario Bros we're talking about here. Half of the base game was probably re-used assets. If you want to make this argument against Luigi U, you might as well go back to the tried and true le rehash bros xD about the whole "New" series.

It runs like shit on both. There's no reason for a game that looks like BOTW to not run 60 fps 1080p in the year 2017.

It's not a bad game. It has some flaws, but nothing that makes it terrible.

>>387004764
It wasnt at all. Set the stage for the successful Switch.

In time, it will regain a good reputation. People just dont understand a good thing when it hits them.

It had flaws, and Nintendo goofed a few things up, but the concept and games on it were still very good.

>>387004764
No, It honestly isnt the worst device in the world.
It has a lot of really great games actually. The problem with it was that its over priced, ill marketed, the game-pad does actually suck and cost way too much to replace.

But, if you can pick one up for cheap, there's a lot on it worth playing. Not to mention the ability to play Wii games over HDMI is amazing too actually. The Wii probably has more hidden gems than any other console ever.

>>387011196
The framerate tanks hard in co-op

>>387011163
If you played a platformer that slow and stiff that was made in 2017 anyone would rightly call that game shit.
The platforming and mechanics were piss easy by kirby standards. The whole game is braindead easy, coupled with the fact that it's molasses slow.
I assume by the context youre emulating it? The dpad it was intended to be played with was the worst fucking thing ever, the N64 has an awful dpad and there's a reason almost no games besides Crystal shards have you using it for movement.

>>387009429

The music, aesthetics, characters, abilities, levels, bosses. Its a fun game to breeze through.

Why the hate? Its seriously not a bad game.

on this, I find that the gamepad has an incredibly short range. I live in a very small apartment, my TV is in the combo living room/kitchen, but if I try taking it even to the tiny hallway leading to my bedroom, which is only about 10 feet away from the screen, it doesn't work. Also, if there's any major pieces of furniture between the gamepad and the console, it doesn't work. And I take good care of my stuff, it's not malfunctioning.

Wii was bad enough and already the butt of many penis jokes. Wii 2 would've been better if they were gonna go down that right.
It's such a shame because I remember the hype before the E3 before Nintendo revealed their new console. All that hype instantly died when they said Wii U. I thought Reggie was joking.
I'd like to see a list of prototype names, because anything could've been better than that.

The entire premise behind the console is dumb. A second screen on the controller is of no use, because you have to keep looking down at it.

The DS worked because it was right next to the other screen. They clearly didn't think it through at all.

>>387005275
>90% of Wii-U exclusives with like the exception of Bayonetta 2 are all first-party

The WiiU needed a new name, better marketing, and hardware that was actually competed with the other consoles alongside it.
The games were good, but normies wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole and it ran like shit.
