Pretty sure there was a positive link between the amount of people who thought the WiiU sucked, and it's failure. And that this number didn't decrease in the slightest after Nintendo showed off that they do not understand shooters, were planning to rip off Skylanders, and really didn't have anything else going for them at E3 2014.

Right, but you're quoting me saying the literal Wii U hate thread was killed off by E3 2014. That's completely unrelated to the performance of the Wii U. Also, if you're talking about amiibos and Splatoon, both were massive successes.

Among Nintendo fans with absolutely no penetration outside of this group. Nintendo are masters of marketing to their established audience, I won't dispute, but seem to know sweet gently caress all about expanding that audience lately (and it's looking more and more obvious that the Wii was just dumb luck). The aforementioned failure of the WiiU shows that this strategy cannot work with the audience they have today, and the Switch ain't looking better.

Also I might be misremembering but I thought there was no dedicated wiiu mockery thread, just a single wiiu thread and eventually fanboys got so fed up seeing criticism that they just made any non-hugbox discussion breaking the rules.

It doesn't really matter or diminish the fact that Splatoon had an attach rate of nearly half of all Wii Us, or that Amiibos outsold Skylanders and Infinity combined.

You are definitely gonna have to back that up, because Skylanders has sold 250 million figures as of last year and Amiibos were under 40 million in September. So unless 211 million amiibos got sold this Christmas and it didn't make the headlines, Sylanders is waaaay out in front.

Isn't it though? The multiplayer is great too, and for some reason tends to foster far less backstabing than the 2D Mario co-op. I'd be lying if I said I never deliberately through my partner off a cliff because he stole the cat suit from me, though.

A WiiU is still way too overpriced to consider buying one new for a handful of old games, half of which you mentioned would work on a Wii which is approximately free on craigslist.

The Galaxy games are prevented from being truly classic by being saddled with the awful waggle controls. If there was a way to play the whole game without waggle, it would be infinitely better.

But invariably on those levels where you have to do a waggle jump to make the platforms flip back and forth, I'll get halfway through the level, and the waggle won't work on one of the jumps, and I'll want to throw my controller through a wall. It's like trying to play through a classic SMB game where the B Button is jump, but it only works 80% of the time.

I think you can bind a button (e.g. stick press) to one of several standard types of waggle actions in Dolphin.

That and a patch for Skyward Sword would make the Wii catalog worth exploring again.

I've been replaying Skyward Sword lately, and I appreciate and enjoy the variety and overall quality of the included waggle actions. One or two of them just don't work very well. A lot of them are kind of badly explained. But largely fun. It does, however, make it the one Zelda game that can never be remade.
