I always kind of cringe at these Wii U vs Switch videos (but I still watch them for some reason). Personally, I enjoyed the Wii U much more than the Switch, but that's probably mostly because of what was going on in my life at the time. So I don't really consider my own experience as "proof" that the Wii U was better.

As strange as this sounds, I actually prefer the wii u over the switch because it feels more like a nintendo console. When I boot up the wii u, it's instantly welcoming. The soft menu theme, the mii's all gathering around on the main screen, and the way it presents the games. It just has a more nintendo feel. The switch has no theme, and it's looks are pretty sterile. There's only two themes, and both are bland. Nothing going on in the background. Even the eshop doesn't have a theme. It just just feels lifeless. It may be a small thing, but it means the world to me. I love it when other consoles do this, like the ps4 and 5. It just adds so much personality to a console. Without it, there's just a lack of charm that's missing to me

If you're going to give the games scores atleast use a site like metacritic for all the game ratings or use the mean of multiple sites to score the total. Just scoring the games yourself in rapid succession, and not using the common opinions most of the populous have on these games makes this come across as a very biased take. I have problems with both consoles and I can't say I prefer one over the other, but I will say this feels more like a rant than a comparison.
@penguinjay4 ай бұрын
why trust metacritic when those scores are cast by people with current day bias that think every new shiny thing is the best thing ever. That's exactly why you shouldn't trust metacritic, YOU NEED TO THINK FOR YOURSELF instead of forming your opinion around what is portrayed as the popular consensus. Metacritic is tainted by people who love the shiny new thing, intensely, for a couple of weeks, until they put it down forever. I wouldn't trust those scores at all, most the people casting scores on metacritic didn't even play to the halfway point, they opened the sandbox and said, "oooh, this is cool, must be a 10, all the other people say it's a 10, the part of the game I didn't play must be great! 10!" Metacritic is totally flawed by shillery and current day bias. I trust people who don't care about common opinion way more than I trust people like you that do care about it, your opinions aren't even your own.

The Wii U will always be my favorite Nintendo console! The Switch isn't bad by any means, but there's something about going back to the Wii U that I will never get tired of. However, after watching this video, I do feel that you were a little harsh on the Switch in some areas: 1. "The Wii U had better hardware than the Switch." - Okay, now if you're talking about controllers in this case (coughJoyConDriftcough), yeah, controllers for the Wii U are hands down much better in terms of build quality with their analog sticks. However, when it comes to the Switch's hardware from a game developer's standpoint, it actually is better than the Wii U. Some actual game devs said in the past that it was actually harder to either port or make games on the Wii U because of its hardware while in comparison to the Switch and while some games on Wii U sold well, it was mainly just the Nintendo games that did that (with some exceptions here and there) unlike the Switch where it feels like everything sells well on the system. 2. When you talked about the concept of the Switch being flawed because of its size when you play it as a handheld. Yeah, it's clearly not meant for your pockets (like at all), but the Wii U GamePad isn't much smaller either. I like the Wii U GamePad as a controller and especially how nice and comfortable it feels to hold, but the fact remains that as a controller, it's big. The Switch (in Handheld Mode) is basically a slimmer Wii U GamePad, if you look at side-by-side comparisons and while you can't put a Switch or even a Switch Lite in your pocket with ease, you can buy cases for either and put them in your backpack or something like a normal tablet, which is something that the original Switch and Switch OLED represent.

1:00 You say all of this is objective but you reveal that this entire argument is biased when you say that you simply don’t value the handheld capabilities of the switch. Statements like this 1:41 are all just based on the fact that you don’t seem to enjoy handheld gameplay. That’s totally fine, but you shouldn’t act like this opinion is objective. Personally, I play handheld most of the time, and it greatly enhances my experience. It is very valuable to me to be able to play everything from NES games to Animal Crossimg to Terraria to Dark Souls anywhere in my house. You’re right that the switch is too big to be pocketable like the DS, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t sufficiently portable. It’s still very cool to play all your switch games on the couch, on the bus, on your front porch, on a walk, in your bed, etc. And this isn’t just a shallow gimmick, either. For many people, holding the console in your hands and playing it wherever they please allows them to connect with their games in a deeper, mor intimate way. There is just something more personal and special about handheld, portable gaming than playing from the same spot every day on a giant screen that is 5-10 feet away from you. I still love my Wii U, but you’re just writing off the value of the switch.

But unlike Wii Sports Club, Clubhouse Games lacks personality, namely the personality of a playable avatar. I would at least give Wii Sports Club a 6.5 or a 7 at the most just for the use of a certain playable avatar alone. I would also give Clubhouse Games a 7 as well for the lack of *ANY* playable avatar.

had the wii u been successful we wouldn't have seen a switch,but a wii u 2 perhaps,maybe this was going to be a wii u 2 but they dropped the name due to its controversial confusion from the original wii name. in my opinion the switch was meant to be the wii u 2 its very similar in design and shape,although it has less features than the wii u,that is a fact people. what made the switch more successful is 3rd party titles not 1st party, wii u wins 1st party games by a mile, even breath of the wild is a better fun experience on the wii u because it was originally built for the wii u before the switch in mind, having the wii u pad as an inventory/map screen is way better to i have than on the switch having to exit the game to look at the inventory. its more a war of accessibility than performance. take for instance twilight princess on the wii,the GameCube had much better control system than the motion controller which was janky as hell. to summarise, a newer system doesn't always mean a better one,the wii u and switch portray this in every way. its not about what's newer or older its about what is better.

The fact that the switch was gonna have 2 gb of ram meant it would have the same performance as the Wii u. Wow Nintendo is very low performing on graphics

I wish somebody would make an external tablet similar to the Wii U's gamepad that would hook up to your PS4/5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or Windows PC and allow you to play games from up to 100 feet away. It would probably be cheaper than the PlayStation Portal and could even be used as a second screen for DS/3DS/Wii U emulators on the PC.

Wii U kills lame switch by 100%.... with wii u chat, way better controllers than horrible joy cons & pro controller, better game play (literally no joke), better damn eshop, FREE ONLINE GAMING, the wii u system menu damn obliterates the switch dead ass menu, has background music, hell even many of the games was better on wii u in a way, you can play every nintendo game that existed on the Wii u by hacking the wii u & play whatever you want on it, & the most best thing of all.......Wii U has MII VERSE & plays GAMECUBE GAMES!!!!!!!.......wii u kills damn gimmick switch which is not even a console just a gimmick handheld omfg. long live GAMECUBE, GAMEBOY ADVANCE & WII U MY BOYZ!!!!

How is Mario party 10 better than super Mario party? Like browser is overpowered and there’s still cars in Mario party 10. Yes the boards can get boring in super Mario party but the mini games are funner and it plays like the original

I still have a Wii u it's not hooked up at the moment but it did have some good games, I wanted to play Xenoblade chronicles never did. dkc tropical freeze is amazing, Mario 3d world was amazing, I'm now wondering how it would have been if the Wii u succeeded more and Mario Odyssey came out on Wii u lol

8:28 First of all, how is fanservice a critique? One is a Breath of the Wild warriors, and one represents the rest of the series. Both don't really fail in their "jobs". AOC has a lacking story, but we are using marketing and fan reaction against a game then we both know TMS would be much lower. 9:26 OK... I get this is opinion, but are we just going to pretend that super didn't revive traditional Mario Party (which people had been begging for since 9), have all around great mini games, add a influx of new and interesting features, and introduced online play (albeit limited) to the series? Both deserve low scores, but 2? Are you joking? 6:13 Minor problem. I do agree this game should have represented it's series better, but I think the edition of better AI commanding, actually allows the game, and developer to make the game strategic in harder missions, which I personally believes should push it up to 7.5 7:04 I get this is based on opinion, but I defineatly think this game should be a 5 minimum. My experience the game is a bit different, but the combat system is alot better than your giving it credit for imo, and generally is really great with encouraging replayability. My personal score would be like a 8-7 but I get you didn't like it, but since this video is at least trying to be objective, this shouldn't be under 5. 13:28 *Deep Breath*. Even if the switch has alot of older, last gen games, does not mean it should should get swept under the rug that it has 3rd party support. This was a HUMONGOUS complaint with the wii u, and the switch, like it or not, the switch simply has a larger library with more options.

I wish Nintendo made a Switch controller that was basically an improved Wii U Gamepad. It would look and act like a Nintendo Switch Lite, but have the following differences: 1. no detachable joycons 2. no way to play it without Nintendo Switch 3. stylus 4. no cartridge slot 5. Gamecube shoulder buttons (analog press work as ZL and ZR, and digital press work as L and R) 6. Gamecube controller ports Similarities: 1. 720p screen (Wii U gamepad has 480p) 2. between 5.5 and 7 inch screen 3. Switch Pro Controller sized buttons

I got to dislike this video as it was hating on the Switch, the Switch isn’t the Wii U, get over it, it’s a great system and has made me fall in love with gaming again, there is a tone of reasons why the Wii U failed. The Switch is the only system I need and I had a PS4 and didn’t like it, I’ve had more fun with my switch than I ever did with my PS4 and getting rid of my PS4 for a Switch is the best decision I ever make. You’re a hater of the Switch and 130 million users says it all, it easily surpassed the Wii U’s pathetic 13 million units sold and is the Switch being truly portable is another advantage the Switch has over the Wii U and playing both portable and handheld is better and I personally prefer handheld mode over docked mode as I’m more of a portable gamer.

@Frinsky I mocked the PS4 more than the Wii U as I’m interested in getting a Wii if I can find one for a decent price, your comment says everything about you and vindicates my decision to dump PlayStation for Nintendo, who knows what’s important in games, fun and simplicity, I couldn’t care less about the latest 4K or even more useless 8K gimmick, games are meant to be fun and not live service and micro transactions crap, but you keep getting ripped off with those and having buggy games at launch, while I enjoy my bug and glitch free Super Mario Wonder and Super Mario RPG, Sony Pony and accept that PlayStation is dying and Nintendo is back.

Awesome video bro just watching today! Recently been following the Wii U to the point where I actually SOLD my Switch OLED in order to buy a Wii U in 2023! It was the only console I never owned. Same with my recently acquired New 2DS XL, 3DS and 3DS XL. Basically in my opinion they do way more than the Switch currently does aka themes to name a few. More importantly I smile more as a 42 year old man playing these older consoles than the next gen stuff and that's pretty sad to admit. My Nintendo Wii U Deluxe Black Edition plus Pro Controller and Cable with the 9 best games collection cost in total £191.39 all in for EVERYTHING!!! Sooooooooo cheap!! BARGAIN!! Only LEGIT console i've never owned before!!! Nintendo Wii U Deluxe Black Edition RRP when first released JUST for the console was £278.06!!! 😱😳 Even setting the Wii U up was more exciting than the Switch or any other Nintendo console and certainly my Series X and PS5!! The Wii U slating which CLEARLY turned out to be UTTER NONSENSE in my opinion having now got one myself. It's like the Rocky movies and more so an example of the current world problem of "The Matrix" as Andrew Tate would say and we are all TOLD WHAT TO LIKE AND NOT LIKE and also WHAT WE SHOULD FOLLOW just like sheep. I love a great underdog story. The Wii U is EXACTLY THAT! Go figure everyone 😱🤷🏻♂️Get one for YOURSELF and use YOUR OWN freedom of thoughts on it👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The only thing I don't like about the switch,is the fact thar games don't drop prices, for an American 60 is probably a good deal, but fir people that live in a underdeveloped country, 60 dollars is A LOT of money, so is pretty much impossible to keep buying games. Now, I know that's not Nintendo's fault, that's a problem with my country, but still, Nintendo could make some more frequent and good discounts, or even maybe include some free game every month on the online server pack, unfortunately that's not the case, I feel like the Wii U had better prices here, they also had the online totally free, with is also great. Another option is just emulate the game and pirate everything, I mean, why not? If I can't afford a game anyway, what harm piracy would do? So, a of people where I live just do that.

The only thing i think they did better with the wii u was free online play (but still terrible infrastructure so its kind of a non factor) VC and build quality joy con drift is just terrible and wide spread Other than that the switch is 1.portable mind you even if its not the most convenient size as an adult witha busy life being able to sit down play or easily go from that to playing while on a workout bike or in bed or traveling or just whenever someone else is using the tv is really convenient for me and many others im sure and that just goes a lot further than the wii u game which in contrast to what you said i believe was very under utilized and a compromise when it was except for a few games like pikmin for example 2. Better design the switch is just more appealing with a snappy ui and simple functionality and use the wii u is clunky awkward and slow 3. Both have great first party games but most of what was on the wii u is on the switch with some minor caveats at worst And the switches 3rd party support just makes the wii u want to drink alone at the bar 4. Freedom the fact that the switches gimmick isn’t as much of a gimmick as a convenience feature as opposed to the wii u’s game pad means we dont have to put up with as much tailored and forced utilization in games as weve had to in the past which is just a plus for devs who dont have to compromise their games to accommodate some thing that doesn’t really add value to their game not to say the gamepad was never utilized at all or in good ways just many times i would use it and think “oh they could have just mapped this to a button and made it more intuitive But still great video no shame in loving the wii u

2 screens is better than 1. Switch made it either or, and destroyed 2 screens, that had been a staple since DS. I don't like that they pull the in hand speaker, and pull the 2 screen experience, because it's amazing in games like Resident Evil Revelations, and it's amazing in the Zelda HD games, it's such a shame they pull great features and people don't mind, they call them gimicky as a cope so they can enjoy the new shiny thing and pretend it is better with 1 screen, and without features that have been staple Nintendo for a long time. The gyro is wonky as well, PS. You should stop giving your money to companies that treat you so poorly, having broken that many joycons, it feels like Nintendo knows people will just replace them and reward their scumbaggery, in fact, all the hardware is like that now for every console. Make better decisions as a consumer. This video is a great step, in that you're a Nintendo fan at least willing to admit there is a problem with the hardware. Lots of people go into denial mode when these companies treat them poorly, at least you aren't at that level. I hope they bring back less successful, friendlier Nintendo, they need humbled bc they treat consumers like garbage now.
