[@GloriousGandalf]

People act like it was some sort of console from hell but the Wii U was a super fun time. It's seriously one of my favourite consoles of all time, I don't really care if it didn't stand up to its competitors or if it had a bad release schedule. It was fun and at the end of the day, that's _really_ what makes a video game console good.

[@ianeons9278]

True. Wii U will always personally be in my top 3.

[@svr5423]

To me, it's simply the best console of this millennium. Bought it originally for Zelda (yes, because FU money - why would I need a console anyway?) then I discovered all the fun local multiplayer titles. It's just something different having friends over for smash or mario kart than playing online on the PC. Then I discovered all the other fun Wii u titles (there weren't many, but things like Fatal Frame stand out). And then all the Wii and GCN titles I missed out on since I never had those consoles. And then Nintendo brought PC Engine titles to the Virtual Console. Gameplay on the pad reminds me of the Atari Lynx I once had.

[@svr5423]

There was a hype around the PS4? When it was released I saw that it was just a PC. No "other OS" like the PS3. I immediately dismissed it. (not that I dislike sony, I still have my PSP Slim, which is great)

[@minecrafter3448]

There was less hype around the ps4 than the switch, and the switch has had only a decent amount of it. This is when the “sweaty virgin gamer” stereotype that emerged in the 7th gen was solidified, gaming was still quite unpopular

Being a huge Nintendo fan during the Wii U era was traumatic. Constantly anticipating something incredible to be announced and being disappointed with nothing or delays. I was sold on it with the announcement of Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon, plus the reveal of "Zelda Wii U". After Splatoon came out, I was waiting for the console to either die and also for Breath of the wild to come out. 2016 was probably the worst yet. It's crazy how all that made the Wii U community feel more personal and passionate, and has maintained that long after it's death.

[@younsmal4873]

Vita fans and WiiU fans felt the same thing that generation. Lol

[@okagron]

They announced the next Zelda game at the start of the Wii U and it only came out towards the end. Just absolutely brutal for you to take that long to release a game in one of your biggest franchises when your newly release console is struggling. And really, it was a Switch release title, Nintendo putting it on the Wii U was more out of obligation than anything because it's clear Breath of the World was made for the Switch.

Plus, exclusive game series you won't find on other systems, like Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehod and Legend of Zelda. The controller has a screen on it so you can play your game while your parents watch TV. Still wanna play your old Wii games? No problem. The Wii U can play all Wii games too. Wii U from Nintendo. Available now. Games sold seperately." I wrote that in 5 minutes; imagine how much better the Wii U would have done if it had even one commercial like that.

[@JohnSmith-fq3rg]

It plays next gen multiplats at a lower quality than the last gen, only costs $100 less than the next gen consoles but still more than three times the used cost of last gen console, which were very popular, well proven platforms with thriving multiplayer game communities, and the controllers weren't a massive gay slab that demands you crane your neck up and down as you play and costs most the price of the console to replace when your kids break it, and was sold on thw idea that ypur kids could play games on it while you use the tv so it was only geared at those same kids you couldn't trust not to break it. Who the fuck did this console appeal to? And what exclusives did it have? A lame smash brothers that was just "smash brothers wii u" no animal crossing, no new zelda and no zelda remakes at launch, no cutting edge 3d marios, just the same generic "new" 2d mario from the wii and ds, no new metroid, a slmewhat boring mario kart later in it's life, and the demo disc cost $50 fucking dollars and wasn't as fun as wii sports. It never made any sense. There was never a reason for anyone to want this at any point in it's lifespan that wasn't offset by a more glaring oversight or failure or ass backward decision from a company that was openly antagonistic to fans at the time. The only lasting worthwhile new ip they released at the time, and not at launch mind you, was Splatoon, a simple multiplayer game with a boring tutorial campaign and no multiplayer voicechat. People try to blame the initial marketing for it's failure but that's not the case since it would have picked up sales later on, instead it lost interest anytime someone looked into it seriously. It didn't deserve to sell even 10 million units, it deserved to fail harder.

[@JohnSmith-fq3rg]

You know what, it can't even play wii games like an hd wii, the console is slow as hell, needs to boot up into the wiiu first, then the wii mode, and the video output is scaled wrong so it's not an hd wii, it's actually a worse wii that looks wrong at all moments and you can't fix it. And if you have a wii you are better off just leaving it hooked up, especially since it used av cables freeing up an hdmi on your tv you probably were already using for your xbox and blueray player. So you wouldn't be gaining anything by removing your wii from your setup, especially since you can leave it plugged in and turning it on with the wiimote and just switching tv inputs on the remote is faster to get into a game already in the tray than having to pop out your wiiu game and put a wii disc in.

The Wii is upgraded GameCube hardware. It's something Nintendo picked up a bit of a habit of. The Game Boy Color is an upgraded Game Boy, the DSi is an upgraded DS, the New 3DS is an upgraded 3DS. I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch's successor follows that pattern.

[@svr5423]

@@SnakebitSTI Exactly. This is also why we know that the Switch is primarily a mobile console. It's based on the ARM architecture which has been introduced with the GBA and retained ever since. The Switch has technologically nothing in common with the GCN/Wii/Wii U.

[@SnakebitSTI]

@@svr5423 Honestly, given the state of console hardware, I wouldn't object to even non-mobile consoles focusing more on efficiency at this point. Generational improvements just aren't wowing me like they used to, while consoles are getting bigger and louder. As for mobile, well, messing about with old handhelds has reminded me how wonderful it is to not have to worry about remembering to plug in your handheld over night.

[@svr5423]

@@SnakebitSTI In my view, the generational improvements have been toned down because game developers are unable to keep up with Hardware development. It doesn't make much sense to release a new, costly and potent hardware when the games cannot make use of it. I'm not short of budget, but my PC, which is also used for 4k gaming, is now almost 9 years old. I've also noticed consoles getting bigger. The PS5 at my clients' is humongous. Louder is just a result of cooling. Consoles typically don't use maintenance-heavy and fragile watercooling like PCs do, and when they are small, they need to produce fast air flow. Fortunately, power requirements are coming down with more efficient hardware. I also agree with you, currently it is a goal to become more efficient, both for PCs and consoles.

[@medievalastronaut5605]

Super Mario 3D World definitely sold me on the Wii U. Seeing youtubers playing it together back in 2014 made it seem like so much fun and it didn't disappoint. Also I will forever defend the stick placement on the Wii U Pro Controller since it is the only time on modern Nintendo controllers I don't accidentally press the B button instead of the A button.

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

Scott is obviously a "naturally", awkward person. He even shows footage of himself gripping the controller and his thumbs perfectly lining up with the location of the sticks (as they do for all anatomically correct humans), while bemoaning it. Seriously grip anything (not that), and see where your thumbs go! For me a PlayStation dual controller always gives me hand aches (admittedly less so on the PS5 but I've only played it in short sessions), and I never realised why until I considered the WiiU stick configuration (I'm also aware that the ps controllers didn't have good ergonomics till at least the 4). edit* - the A button thing is actually quite a subtle benefit that I'd not considered

The ending of this video made me feel so hyped and nostalgic. I got my Wii U for my birthday, in December 2014. I didn't know anything about the console, I wasn't as invested in Nintendo news, so I went in blind. I've always found it so funny people calling the console a failure, because it is still to this day my most favorite of all time. I wouldn't say objectively it's better than the Switch or 3DS, but I got the console at the perfect time in my life, and now I can't help but look back on the whole era with happiness. I had the deluxe bundle which came with Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land, and it was one of the best birthday parties I'd ever had. A couple weeks later I got Smash Bros. and my friends and I would play it constantly. That's even without my finding out about Splatoon and becoming the most excited kid in 6th grade. I remember even before the game came out I would draw the characters in my notebooks during class. There'll never be another Wii U.

I bought mine in 2015. Also my favourite stationary console of all time and the only one I've ever bought in this millennium. It's still Mario World, Kart and Smash Bros time when I invite friends over.

A lot of the Lego City Undercover criticisms were actually fixed when it was remastered for other systems in 2017. Of course you have the fact it's multiplatform, but they also shortened the loading times and added co-op.

to be fair, consoles have always much longer loading times. But yeah, most of the loading times are caused by bad software. It boils my blood when I look at the IOPS when "loading" and NOTHING happens. CPU/GPU idling as well.
