justify buying this shit

if I wasn't stupid and lazy I could hack it and get free games.

It's got some decent games though but mostly a long list of disappointments.

It was fine a couple years ago if you really had an itch for Nintendo games. Now you need to be almost braindead as it seems they're porting its games to the Switch.

justify buying the most innovative console with by far the best games of its generation? well that's incredibly easy

Splatoon was a fuckton of fun. I don't think I've ever dumped as many hours into a multiplayer game before.

When it came out, I was all over that Mario Maker. Plus 2 exclusive Platinum Games titles. There were many problems with the system, but I don't regret it. Maybe it's cause I'm a Nintendo fanboy.

Hows the homebrew on this thing? Can I play emulators on the touch pad thing?

>>389159046

Which if you are trying to justify buying one TODAY is a pretty poor argument when splatoon 2 exists

It had games on it.

Oh yeah, I forgot that only having games on it no longer is a justification answer anymore because gaming consoles now also have to be a inferior PCs nowadays and do everything now for some reason, even though anyone and their grandma already has a PC, which is much more use friendly and has much more options than consoles ever will be.

Fuck off with your shitty console generation that tries to be inferior PCs. You faggots fucking ruined everything and the reason I stuck myself to the handhelds and actual PCs, because atleast they have games on them.

I hate all off you.

Pikmin 3

Xenoblade Chronicles X, Fatal Frame Five.
Since I already had it BotW.

>>389158540
Got mine at half price and I'm able to pirate games directly from Nintendo servers. GBAtemp also found a way to properly inject roms to VC titles and you can hack the vWii to play GC games. It's a pretty cool deal if you ask me.

>>389158540
I literally bought it solely for piracy purposes.

Bought a cheap used one to play BOTW
>inb4 Should have bought a switch to play new games coming out
Literally only Nintendo franchise I really care about is LOZ and yes I have played other Nintendo franchises and I dont care for most of them. Only thing i'm sort of regretting is the possibility of another LOZ game coming out near the end of the Switch's life cycle like TP and then Skyward Sword

>>389158540
Why? It's discontinued and you'll never enjoy it.

Nintendo's security team is ran by chimpanzees, runs on a modified 3DS firmware which was a modified Wii firmware which meant hacking it was already 80% complete.

Can hack it via the browser in 5 minutes to play the entire library for free as well as the entire Wii and Gamecube libraries.

Otherwise, it's shit. Very underwhelming library and no Gamecube backward compatibility = lol.

You can hack it and have the ultimate Nintendo machine

>wrong opinion
>i wank to my PC 'games'
>slightly disagree

>>389158540
Now? It might be worth getting one if you like to collect consoles. Most of its games will probably get ported to the Switch, so there's really no point otherwise.

Great for watching porn in bed.

>No threat of malware/viruses
>Most porn sites still work on the Wii U browser
>Keep your computer's browser history clean and untainted from the prying eyes of Microsoft and Google

There, enjoy your new pornbox.

>>389160398
>prying eyes
Sorry to burst your bubble but unless you use completely separate router from different ISP with other IP for your Wii U it's trivial to associate all of your search requests no matter how many different devices you use on your LAN.
>Keep your computer's browser history clean
You know you can just check some boxes and automatically clean at exit or not collect history at all if you allow family members to use the computer under same user (which is stupid if the machine is yours)
I get the comfy part but if you seriously cared about privacy and stuff like not getting traced using PC is a must.

I bought more Wii U games than I did PS3 games.

Giant robots are all the reason you need

We only have one sequel and it's already CoD. I wish they'd just ported it like MK8 if they had to.
and inevitably, Smash

It was better than PS4 and Xbox one
Also I use the gamepad as a TV remote since I lost my actual remote when I moved

It's cheap, it's got a decent library, it's easily hackable, video games are fun

>>389162196
You looking to get Xenoblade Chronicles X?
I'm looking to sell my LE

>>389159941
The Wii U version actually has a bunch of shit cut out from the Switch version, so yeah, you should have.

>Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
Might be the best game in the fucking genre
>Xenoblade Chronicles X
Extremely well made and unique JRPG
>Bayonetta 2
Sequel to one of the greatest action games of all time
>Super Mario 3D World
An extremely good Mario game
>The Wonderful 101
Cult hit that all action and platinum games fans should try.

>>389162452
I hear this a lot. What's been cut?

>>389162431
yeah, never played the original but it's cheap and good enough to try

>>389162452
There's literally no fucking difference in content between the Wii U and Switch versions of BotW you fucking retard. Only difference is that the Switch version runs at 900p docked and has a slightly improved framerate in SOME areas.

>>389162546
Nothing.

>>389162569
selling for $55 shipped, but I think it's an extra $10 or so for me to ship overseas. Interested?

>>389162782
I'll just buy the cheapest I can find on eBay and low-ball some clown, but thanks

>>389163092
alright alright

>>389162601
No. The Switch version runs fucking goddamn circles around the Wii U. Wii U can't even keep framerates steady when you're in towns. Not to mention Nintendo changes some shaders and lighting settings a few months ago so the Switch version literally just looks much prettier.

I pity people who suffered through BotW U. The Switch version is much superior.

>>389163246
But....content wise?

>>389163319
Content is irrelevant. He made some really fucking retarded claims about the performance.

Also I guess it DOES have more content if you look at one subtle angle: Nintendo is doing weird little promotional adverts on the Switch's newsfeed functions and if you launch BotW using these adverts, you get gifted items. The most recent one gives you some boomerangs to mess around with, another was some food to feed to a dog to show us the dog friendship mechanic. Another was some honey and a recipe for honey candies in-game.

>>389158540
wonderfull 101

>>389163246
I wouldn't say it runs fucking goddamn circles around it when neither of them can keep framerates steady all the time, or even as often as most other games are able to. It really is only slightly improved.

>>389162546
Mostly gamepad support among other things as they switch from the WiiU to the Switch which honestly made both suffer performance wise.

Trusting Nintendo is the main reason anyone had for buying it. That and playing the newest Smash.

>>389163981
>I wouldn't say it runs fucking goddamn circles around it
So how else would you characterize a complete inability to run smoothly when inside of towns?
> neither of them can keep framerates steady all the time
Several months of patching later, BotW Switch actually has lost most of it's performance drops.

One example is the Korok Village used to run at Blighttown levels of 20-22-ish FPS and now runs more like 27-30. another were the drops in the wooded area of the Great Plateau. Those are completely gone.


So yeah. It runs circle. Wii U can't handle ANY towns and Switch has had it's one weakspot town patched to be significantly improved.

>>389158540
All the nintendo games that might be good.
Also the older games nintendo games that are good and I haven't played yet.

>>389158540
Because it had good games?

When will this retarded meme die? Oh wait, I forgot where I was...

>>389158540
Nintendont.
With that comes Killer 7 and Suda's other games.

>>389158540

you can mod it and pirate botw for free, saving you money from buying the switch which is a ripoff.


it also had Monster Hunter 3.

>>389159941
>Bought a cheap used one to play BOTW
>only Nintendo franchise I really care about is LOZ
Same, i bought a second hand one of ebay for BotW, it came with all the good games too, smash, bayo, MK , TPHH and WWHD. I bought mario bros and will pick up W101 at some point.
really it is just a zelda machine for me. i even bought SS to play on it/

>>389165171
you could just hack it and play SS plus every other Wii and GC game for free

>>389165523
There are things you dont understand like that some of us dont "steal" for morality reasons, or that we are not poorfags too.

I used to do shit like that when i was a child, I had a modded PS1 with shit loads of chipped games.
right now I'm an adult and would rather support the industry I enjoy than cheat and steal from it.

>>389165824
> bought cheap used wiiu
> supporting the industry
Nice try

>convince me why I should buy this thing

Why should people on the internet tell you to buy a thing? If you dont want to buy a thing, dont buy the thing

>>389165943
>buy Wii U
>buy games and DLC
or
>buy Wii U
>steal entire library

>>389165824
first of all buying used isn't supporting the industry and second if Nintendo doesn't support Wii U why should anyone else?
