With the onset of the Nintendo NX imminent, it's a good time to look back at what was great about the Wii U, particularly its controller, the Wii U gamepad.
Originally dubbed "hopeless", the Game Boy went on to have a lasting legacy, as well as hosting some of the most influential games of all time.
Lots of fond memories with the Gameboy. It was my first portable console. It's also the last system my parents played as games were getting too advanced for them outside of pinball, Mario and classic Donkey Kong games. 🤣
I never had one but some school friends did.
I still remember the magical feeling of playing motocross and mario bros 2 (i think).. gaming addiction since that very moment
I’ll never forget opening that Christmas gift. I was ill, had a fever, and was screaming with Joy :)
Streaming on the Steam Deck is even easier with a new beta installation method for GeForce NOW. Plus GeForce NOW brings 24 new games for May.
PS Remote Play on Android TV OS devices offers you more ways to play your favorite PS5® and PS4™ games.
i have a 4K chrome cast from some years ago, not this white one.
does it support remote play as well?
next question: does PS5 and the chromecast have to be connected to same network?
i will try later and update here if no one has an answer, so people benefit.
I have a wii u and I never use it unless it's required, like the bs is needed to view the eshop
The controller was a gimmick that was forced upon gamers and developers while not really adding much in terms of better gameplay, but it did add 100-150 bucks to the price of a new console. This meant the console was unnecessarily expensive, it meant it was less powerful than it could/should have been without the gimmick, it meant many 3rd party developers couldn't really be bothered with developing for the system, it meant 1st party games had the tablet-controls forced in, which in many cases actually detracted from the quality of the gameplay, instead of enhancing it, etc etc.
In short, the WiiU tablet-controller was, sadly, just a mistake.
I use the gamepad almost exclusively. I rarely use the pro controller. I like the size and offscreen play is well utilized.
I use it daily, both for games and web surfing/youtube now that my computer has crapped out on me.
The advantages it offers in games are great: inventory management, off-tv play, maps that are constantly displayed without pausing or taking up tv space, quick switching of gear, adding more powers/abilities than shortcuts on traditional controller buttons can hold, It's basically just better for gameplay because it has all the buttons plus the screen for additional options.
It's a shame that traditionalists hated change too much to give it fair credit and instead just looked at it as if it were a tablet.
