Smokey Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Did you own a Wii U before the Switch launched? We picked one up years ago and it was fun for awhile but it was just a very underpowered system and the gamepad tablet was clunky and uncomfortable to play games with IMO. I feel like they should've just released the Switch instead of having the Wii U be a stop-gap between the Wii and Switch, personally. What do you think? Did you own an Wii U?

Kane99 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Nope, I never owned or even played a Wii U. I wanted one, but it wasn't a console I made much of a fuss over. I just remember it being kind of a let down among fans, and it's what pushed them to innovate even more with the Switch. If I ever find one at a thrift store or at a yard sale for cheap, I'll pick one up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I had one given to me but I never played it much if I'm being honest and I sold a year later. The concept itself was rather ambitious but the execution was extremely poor by Nintendo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Not at all. I got to experience those games earlier on, and now more people get to have fun playing those great games. Heck, I'd argue the Wii U is still a console worth owning in 2022 - it has a handful of great exclusives, and can be used as a device to play a strong backlog of Nintendo games.

Moonface Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I bought one with my wife and honestly besides the few gems still stuck on it like Wind Waker HD, it was an utter waste of money and I think it was a poorly executed idea that didn't get properly realized until the Switch. If anything I hope Nintendo just learned their lesson when it comes to naming console successors poorly because this plus the New Nintendo 3DS was a period of atrocious naming and marketing by Nintendo for their systems.

Shortie Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Yes, I did own a Wii U before the Switch was launched but to be honest, even though we owned one, it didn't get used as much as we thought it would and after a while of it not being use, we ended up selling it. I am so glad that the Nintendo Switch is a lot more powerful and enjoyable to be honest and we tend to play the Nintendo Switch way more than we ever did the Wii U.
