I hated the Wii and I consider that their worst effort because it relied on gimmicks.

The Wii U just had no support, but the hardware was solid. I like the controller as well.
The hardware was solid?? I'm praying you're merely talking about the Laptop controller.

The whole package was solid. Yeah it lacked internal storage and not the most powerful, but the thing worked well.

Donkey Kong, Smash Bros and the other first party Nintendo stuff looks great on it. Companies could have done the same if people who bought Nintendo consoles would buy 3rd party games.

It will get looked upon as a failure and justified for the most part, but it was a better system than the Wii IMO :manny:

Oh and the Wii U has arguably a top 3 compilation package ever released in Mario Maker...so there is that.

Nintendo has had one failure in recent memory (the Wii U) and everyones jumping up and down celebrating that shyt. How can you call yourselves real gamers when you want them to fail so badly? It some times feels like you guys want Sony to have a monopoly on consoles and for everyone else to drop out.

Yes, yes and YES!

I know many will clown me, but I think the GameCube lowkey was their GOAT console. Its just that people didn't give it a chance including developers... I think due to the small disc. But at least the GameCube had many hardcore games unlike the Wii U, their first party games like Wind Waker and Mario Sunshine were>>>compared to Wii U games. Its controller while not the best was still much better than the Wii U. And overall its gaming experience was much more "magical" than found on the Wii U.

Mario Sunshine was probably the most boring Mario game ever released. I enjoyed Mario Land on the OG Game Boy more than that trash. Wind Waker was great though.

lol ok.

The hardware was wack.

I'm surprised you're saying this.

The hardware.. mind you didn't have an ethernet port and had no optical out. This is a console released in 2012, not 2005.

I had to get a whole new receiver just to get 5.1 audio. T
he Nintendo games looked "good" due to them just having decent to good art style but on a more powerful system they'd look much better overall. I'd love to see what Nintendo could do with a PS4 or even XB1 like hardware.

The Wii U was terrible hardware wise.
