Here's what it's like to buy a used Wii U in 2023.
I'm tempted just because I missed out on xenoblade chronicles x. But it's a big waste for just one game
It's also a great system for backwards compatibility and emulation too, especially with the off TV play through the tablet.
I bought a Wii-U last year due to the fact that the Wii Punch-Out for some reason has not been ported to the Switch, which is odd since almost all of the Punch-Out games, arcade included are available for the Switch.
The Wii U was an abject failure, but sometimes even failures are worthwhile (if still expensive) learning experiences.
From giant crabs to surprise launches to weird-looking tablets, these console launches were...yeah.
Yet they all turned out to be great systems with lots of gems, except for Jaguar. Wii U was a criminally underrated system. The Gamepad implementation of Zelda Twilight Princess was incredible! I was so disappointed they removed it altogether for Breath of the Wild because they wanted "parity" with the Switch version. Its a shame and it was a lame excuse.
You can tell BotW was designed around the gamepad usage, with all that menu navigation. That item management and weapon switching would have been 100x better with the gamepad. The worst part was they never let the wii U players know they were removing it! I got the game for Wii U at launch and was disappointed it wasnt there.
PS3 was a mess at first but what a turnaround! That was a crazy generation. Uncharted 1,2,3, Infamous 1 & 2, God of War 3, Last of Us, MGS4, Ratchet and Clank series, Little Big Planet, Modnation Racers, Killzone, Resistance. My god they were so on point later in that generation it was crazy!
Nintendo Screwed themselves using the Wii name again. And the jaguar was straight doo doo; I still have it.
I had it too... Jag could have been something great considering how good the ST games were. And now many of those have been ported but it was too little too late. The CD was just plain unreliable (apart from being an obvious design flaw). The thing about the Jag was it was just too Euro. given that Atari was built initially a US brand and then it later became more European and you could tell from the games. There is just something that stands out with EU created games vs NA or JP ones. Alien vs Predator was cool but def needed a better frame rate. At least 30fps instead of the 15-20 it was.
Im actually surprised nobody has gone back and tried to remaster that one for other platforms. It was a pretty good game.

PS3 had a buggered up launch but Sony was able to turn things around with the PS3. I still say the XB360 had a terrible launch half the systems cooked themselves and the RROD would appear. Then the 3DO, CDI, Pippin, the Amiga, 32X the list can go on and on with systems with terrible launches.
i think that it was actually the comment made about the system only shipping with one controller got misinterpreted as the system only supporting one controller?
Supporting more controllers is great...except how much are these things going to cost. I find controllers at the minute quite expensive.
It doesn't need more than 2. And the Wii U supports all Wii controllers. And they will probably make a gamecube controller for the Wii U
I dont care how many Wii U pads it supports
That's good news. But what worries me is that the controllers will be very expensive. I can't imagine them selling them at the same price point ad regular controllers. I predict that they will cost around 80 euros a controller maybe less if Nintendo sells them at a loss.
Anyways what Nintendo should do is produce a core controller for the console. Because some people won't like the quirky controller with the screen.

If this is true then it's looking better and better. I'm looking for a MUCH better unveiling of the Wii U at E3 in 2012. It's obvious Nintendo jumped the gun a bit at this past E3. I'm really looking forward to seeing the console itself and hearing about launch games and more.
