The Wii U

Recommended Posts

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?

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. :)

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.

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.

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.
