Wii U was underrated and I'd recommend getting one if not for all its good games already being ported to and/or getting sequels on the Switch. Bring Back Miiverse.

Ehh I've definitely thought about getting one just to play with it and homebrew up but I always found the limitations on the handheld tablet to be a huge downer. If I'm going to get a tablet game thing it better act like a full on tablet game thing with a nice screen, more seamless gameplay or more options in not forcing me to use either/or for single screen games etc. If I recall correctly my friend was unable to launch Metroid prime at all without being hooked up to the TV so it wasn't truly a hybrid console yet OLED switch is where it's at baybeeee and it's going to be so much better once people start modding it

The game pad itself was quite well-made, and comfortable. The concept of playing on a second screen was the giant-killer, obviously, so when they refined the idea it was ripe to be a big hit.

That thing was DOA and you're in the minority here lol wtf lol it wasnt the N-Gage, pretty sure the average gamer knows what the Wii U was or can at least guess what it is from the name alone

I bought a Wii U day one. I've never bought a console or a game on launch since. It was a turd of a console but we did get the Switch out of it so that was cool.

That's a long time for people to remember a very niche unpopular console or its specific feature set. I was mostly responding to the "um you didn't KNOW the wiiU had a touch screen?" that someone replied with to another poster Of course not. Why would most people know that? Some people don't even know the switch has a touch screen and they own one lol.

The Wii U had a Wii inside it. It was still a really neat console and the "Fischer Price rear end" gamepad was actually one of its strong points. That thing was super comfortable to hold and oftentimes I found it preferable to have different information displayed on the gamepad screen than the TV! To this day I have trouble convincing my husband to play Mario Kart or Warriors games with me because he can no longer have his own screen.  He loved playing with me on the gamepad.

I think I would have warmed up to the tablet a lot more if the bezels weren't so thick and round, and if the screen was a bit better quality. I remember it having a pretty low resolution and not being especially vibrant kind of like the 3DS screens which are functional but pretty disappointing next to any contemporary screen of its time. I was relieved they opted to include a nice well-balanced screen with the very first switch revision, then OLED came around and holy sheeeeit what a thing of beauty Ergonomics wise I'll grant you that the tablet is much better than the switch joycons. I will never stop posting about how much I hate those things!

Did I hear they’re turning off the Splatoon 1 servers? May have to fire up the WiiU soon for old times sake.

I actually like the Wii U it turns out, and playing Twilight Princess HD, Wind Waker HD, Xenoblade X are still good reasons to keep it.

Yeah nobody in the loving Nintendo thread knows what a WiiU actually is. I'm sure that's correct

Morpheus posted:Detective Pikachu isn't a cop, cops and guards are beholden to a corporation or the state, and he doesn't get special privileges because of his position. He's more of a mercenary that solves crimes. Detectives are cops who focus on investigation work.

I said come in! posted:Yeah I was going to say, Pikachu is not a cop. I mean he literally is, he's Tim Goodman's dad Ryan Reynolds Goodman, a literal police officer who got transformed into a Pikachu. Spoilers for three year old movie. And while this wasn't explicitly said in the first game it was basically spelled out.

Pikachu has always been a little poo poo. The Maroon Hawk posted:The Wii U is the only Nintendo home console I never owned lol Same.  I've spent more hours getting migraines playing Virtual Boy than I did even touching a Wii U.

In my heart Detective Pikachu will always be Danny Devito, and if I don't play the games or watch the movie I don't have to be disappointed.

Though the DP movie trailer where Reynolds was getting so into the role that it was causing him marital troubles was amusing.
