Dos_Box Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Well done Nintendo - Nintendo Switch overtakes the Wii U - BBC News Although looking at Ebay Wii U prices you wouldn't think that it was not in demand.
sted Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 its a shame what happened to the wi-u there were some good potential uses for the 2 screens being different (starfox zero was executed poorly but the idea was good),tokyo mirage sessions turning the pad into a phone/map the zelda remakes using it to manage inventory etc without having to pause. but they just never had any enough big games for people to buy it and if nintendo diddnt draw people to it why would anyone else. On the plus side nintendo seem to of learned a lot from it and hopefully wont repeat the same mistakes. the best thing they did last year was a big game every month or so i hope they manage to keep that up but apart from fire emblem which has no release date switch releases im interested in this year look much more sparce than last. Tbh next game im likely to play much on it is new game plus mode for xenoblade 2 when that comes out sometime next month but even that will wait till ive finished with secret of mana on ps4
Mr_Jiminy Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Having not owned a console for the last 18+ years, I have to confess I'm seriously tempted by the Nintendo Switch.
Dos_Box Posted January 31, 2018 Author Posted January 31, 2018 I think one of the worst things they did was to treat third party developers/houses very poorly - A Third-Party "Secret Developer" Gives an Inside Story of Working on Wii U - Nintendo Life And that the Wii U controller was very underutilised and, TBH, a bit poorly thought out (a resistive screen? C'mon!) They do seem to have learnt from this lesson with the Switch and the games are coming thick and fast now. The Switch has saved the mighty Nin Lord knows what it would have been like had they had to start making software for other platforms and the PC had it failed... ...sweet, it would have been sweet.
CAM Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I should probably trade my Wii U in (along with the old Wii). Any idea what prices you get for it now? Switch really needs Mario Maker though! But preferably with less janky online content systems (level moderation and deletion was a joke). And bring on a full Pokemon title.

Looking at Ebay, people are asking £110 approx for the 32Gb console without games and upwards from there depending on the games bundled. The menu systems are a joy compared to the Wii U. No double-didgit waits to change system settings! They just need to get the virtual console worked out now.
DalekSec Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 As a PC Gamer, i love my Switch. To the amount where i packed away my Xbox One (which was only being used for blu-rays) and replaces it with my switch, that goes everywhere with me! I love me some Mario Kart

They just need to get the virtual console worked out now. i suspect virtual console as we knew it is gone. my guess is either a subscription service like game pass or just sell em in the e-store as nintendo classics or some such. I also suspect it wont happen until they have milked the nes/snes mins (and rumored game boy mini) for all they are worth

I also suspect it wont happen until they have milked the nes/snes mins (and rumored game boy mini) for all they are worth I sort of suspected as much really. It sort of grates that the amount I had spent on there on the Wii U will not transfer to the Switch. It wasn't a lot, but when Microsoft and Sony allow this it does lessen the value-add.
sted Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 dosent help that the wii-u virtual console was missing a fair bit of stuff from the wii virtual console (secret of mana and chrono trigger for example) so i have them on wii virtual console on my wii-u. I think i may have link to the past on snes mini/gameboy/wii vc/wii-u vc (did have on snes but that went a long time ago i now keep all my old consoles (bar ps1/2)

I only have the low-capacity white version.
sted Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 I like the fact mario oddesey just on switch has outsold star wars lootbox 2 on all platforms 1
