Why did /v/ start calling it the Pii U? Did it smell like piss out of the box? I never understood this.

Because it did not had Super Mario Sunshine 2, I'm not even shitposting, that's the reason why I didn't bought one.

Nintendo really needed this wake-up call. Here's hoping they don't fuck up NX.
>>
>>344433829
Oh, that's fine. You can prefer it over the Galaxy games all you want.

Because honestly the Galaxy games suck too.

Really Mario in general sucks in 3D with the sole exception of 3D World.

Nintendo was stupid for ever thinking people would 1:1 upgrade from the Wii to Wii U, especially given the demographic of owners.

Also confusing the fuck out of everyone when the console was announced didn't really help things along.

Exactly. A 3D game that plays like the old Mario games is a 3D Mario game, in every meaning.

I have one but I regret it. It sits around collecting dust for the most part unless I have my nephews over and they want to play MK8 or Smash.

My 3DS gets far more play.

The Wii U never had any masterpieces I guess.
There's still hope for BotW though.

>>344432184
Should've just made a light simple console that used solid state storage to store games to cut down on shipping/shelf space costs and improve load times and user experience and redirected all that extra cash into first party titles instead of trying to play off the apple iPad craze.
>>
>>344436089

At least 1/3 of the 'exclusives' can be found in other platforms like 3DS.
>>
>>344436312
Which will be better on NX. Seriously, the Wii U version of the game is just a formality at this point, being released as to not piss people off for constantly promising it on the Wii U.
>>
>>344436089
>90
>80% are retro, mobile, indie trash, or available on pc
Less than 10 games I'd want to play on that console.

I have a PS4 and a Wii U

I have 10 games for my Wii U that I've played and enjoyed.

I have 2 for my PS4, 1 being TLoU which I already played on PS3.

My third game for PS4 will be FFXV, and only because It won't be on PC for release.

Even though the Wii U is weaker, It has better games.

It's the exact same story for 3DS and Vita.

That's sad. You compare a shitty console to an arguably shittier console.

It's big to brag about your 10 game library when 6th gen consoles had 10 must-own games before its third year.

I got what I wanted out of the console but it really just does not have a whole lot to offer. Quite frankly I think they've given up on it.

You Wii U owners keep sperging movie games, but you wouldn't even know what games are since the Wii U never gets any.
>>
>>344436089

I already have all those Virtual Console games on their original systems.

For most of the multiplats, the Wii U has the worst version.

Most of the e-shop games are in my Steam library.

I do have most of the exclusives you listed, but Starfox sucked.

I just use my Wii U to play MK8 and Smash with my wife and friends. My real gaming is on PC and PS4.

Why did everybody except Sony partake in the squid ink and consumer nightmares this generation?

More importantly, how did Sony escape? Was it because the PS3 had cost them so much money that they couldn't afford any squid ink? Even Valve went all in on the stupidity with their steam machines.
