Is it still worth it to buy a Wii U?
>>340066071
It hasn't been worth it for months man.
They announced the descontinuation of production like 4 months ago plus the upcoming NX has catered all of the games.
There's a reason 3DS keeps getting price cuts.
NX is a handheld, not a console.
I ADORE my Wii U, but I wouldn't recommend anyone buy one at this point in time unless they're desperate for MK8, Splatoon and Smash.
Wait until March my man.
What if nintendo goes in and makes a powerful as fuck handheld
There is a half working emulator right now, just wait until it works and just download the emulator on your PC

I've been a Nintendo fan since the NES era. I have to say, the Wii U is the best console since the NES and SNES. I play Splatoon every single day. It also has Mario Maker, Bayonetta 2, Pokken Tournament, the definitive version of Smash 4, Mario 3D World, DK: Tropical Freeze, Zelda remakes (the best versions of WW and TP available right now), and many more.
>$299, the same price as an Xbone and PS4
This means absolutely nothing to me. Sony and Microsoft have never, and will never be able to compete with the quality of Nintendo's exclusives, and besides, most of their games are multiplats now. I don't want the shitty $60 versions, I want the better looking, cheaper versions that are available on PC.
>>340067042
Least the wii u lasted a good amount of time before it was replaced sonycuck
The funnier thing is that you just got your ps4 this christmas
>>340067027
Can't wait. The only game I want to play is Mario World 3D but I cant justify a console for 1 game like consolefags
>>340067090
Just like the GBA.
The last game for that came out in 2008.
>>340066071
I say wait to see if the NX is backwards compatible. If it is skip it and wait for the next console.
>>340067042

i'm not going to say shit because you've been dealt a rough fucking hand here
>>340067141
Jesus Christ the fucking delusion
>>340067226
Good idea. Mario 3D world isn't worth buying the console for in any way.
>>340067323
What game was that?
>>340067090
Mobile SOCs are more powerful than the wii u dude
>>340067141
Granted, it has good 1st party titles, but the hardware is underpowered and overpriced. And let's not forget the oversized gimmicky controller that even Nintendo has failed to find a good use for.
>>340067547
Not him, but a handheld that can handle a comparable port of a wii u game at this point would be grossly expensive, have garbage battery life, and likely heating issues.
It's not a handheld.
>>340066071
The Wii U is fucking garbage
But /v/ is NintendoGAF so everyone constantly defends it
>>340066071
Yes. You still have like 20 fantastic games to play in it. Buying consoles when they're already dead is totally worth it because of that.
>>340066609
Actually, someone else reporter the end of production, and Nintendo denied it.
>>340067042
>>340067989
Buying consoles AFTER they are dead and replaced is worth it. That's when they are cheapest.
People still shouldn't buy a wii u yet.
Certainly not for that price. It was nice to have two years ago at this time when you never had trouble convincing anyone to play MK8 or Smash, but at this point I would wait until I can get one for 150 dollars.
i got mine in 2014 for $200.
been pirating the shit out of games since 2015
>>340066071
I got more mileage out of it than my ps4. Though I own a decent PC. If you're a poorfag get a budget pc or ps4 or just kill yourself for being a waste of space
WiiU has given me the biggest buyers remorse in a long time.
>>340067090
>releasing another handheld when your current handheld is selling more than your console, and has new games coming out for it
You mean like they done with NDS when GBA was outselling the GC?
>>340067770
No it wouldn't you retard. Wii U is insanely weak by today's standards, an affordable mass market portable can easily plqy games on the level of PS3/Wii U
Nintendo's own words point to it not just being the successor to Wii U.
>>340066071
Yea.
>>340068521
Ps3 maybe. It'll still have heat and battery issues as well as be a little bit on the larger side. Wii u and up, say hello to your $450 plus handheld with issues.
>>340068521
Nintendo can't say it's replacing the wiiu because that'll kill what little sales momentum that system has.
The same way they lied through their teeth about the any new 3ds hardware just two weeks before announcing it.
I got mine for $365because third worldwhen Mario Maker came out but I still don't regret it.
Even though the games base price is now $80 so I have to get them at a games plaza that sells them for $60 instead of the usual game store.
I just checked the price now and it's$450HOLY FUCK. THE PS4 IS $400 HERE.
>>340067090
>and next year
Which games?
>>340069709
Shut up
>>340067441
>no argument
Proving me right.
>>340067730
>but the hardware is underpowered
This doesn't really mean anything. This is for the developers to worry about, because they have to find ways to program their game according to a console's power, but it doesn't really affect the consumer. If I want good looking games I'll just play on my PC. This won't be an issue until I put a disc in my Wii U and get a message saying "Sorry, the Wii U isn't strong enough to play this game. You should have bought a PS4." Also, let's not forget that Wii U games actually run at 60 FPS and have timeless art styles, where PS4 and Xbox One games have tryhard faux-realistic graphics and run at a choppy unstable 30 FPS.
>And let's not forget the oversized gimmicky controller that even Nintendo has failed to find a good use for.
It works well in Mario Maker and Splatoon, and Zelda games. It can be used for maps, equipment selection, menus, etc. It has been used well in many games, and I think it is one of the most comfortable controllers ever.
>>340067730

Most beautiful game of this generation is on Wii U:

WHY
>>340067090
>FFXIV port?
>>340067090
>>3ds confirmed still getting games this year and next year
What? 3ds is not confirmed for a single game in 2017.
NOT A SINGLE GAME.
>>340066071
I suggest wait for more info on nx. It might be backwards compatible like the wii and wii u. If it is, it's not worth buying wii u anymore.
>>340070149
This game had like one town. The enemies respawn after you walk a couple of feet away from them. And the gameplay is mostly fetch quests.
It's also underwhelming compared to the first game.
>>340070816
This does not disprove my words.
>>340068745
And if you didn't own a Wii, you can still easily hack the vWii on the Wii U and play anything Nintendo on it, except 3DS games.
>>340066071
I don't regret buying mine, but if I hadn't bought it I wouldn't do it now.
>>340071023
>Most beautiful game of this generation is on the Wii-U
I'm not trying to disprove your fanboy opinion since there are obviously better looking games.
>>340066719
NX is a product family that will include both a console and a handheld. They will play the same library of games
>>340066071
Without a price drop, it isn't worth it at this point.
Wait on the NX first, then if the games don't get ported over, then you can get a Wii U on the cheap later.
>>340067042
Ruggarell is actually a cool weeb/guy if you guys actually cared enough to know him
>>340071469
Fuck off Ruggarell

>there are obviously better looking games
>>340067141
Do you play solo or with rl friends?
I don't know what pisses me off more. The Wii U getting abandoned for NX or the PS4 neo shit. Bought a Wii U last Nov I believe and recently got a ps4 this year only to be hit with this shit. So fucking scummy.
>>340071583
I'll admit it's the best looking game on the Wii-U. But this entire generation? No, just no.
>>340066815
Maybe NX?
The nx was already stated to be coming by last nov
that's on you
the ps4 was just stated to be replaced by the neo this may so yea you got fucked
>>340071791
PS4 Neo will only be a bad thing if all support goes to Neo.
>>340067840
>Le does it for free meme
8ch wants you back, faggot.
>>340066071
At this point? No. You had your chance in 2014.
>>340067141
Been a Nintendo fan from the day I could hold an nes controller. Got a Super NES for Christmas when I was 6 and had every system since. Wii U is hands down the worst system they have made. If you think the library is good then you never played anything other than Nintendo. I would even say the GC has a better library and it is blown away by the Ps2/PS3 and 360 game libraries. It is time to let go. Nintendo needs to stick to handhelds and give up on home consoles.
>>340072147
which, lets face it, is the only thing thats going to happen
console gaming is dead my friend
>>340072147
>implying it's not going to happen
Why would devs work on outdated hardware when something better is available? Nobody is going to want to make 2 versions of each game.
>>340068745
I always like seeing TW101 when people recommend the console
Well it does have a lot of exclusives...
>>340071747
I play about 50/50, single player games and multiplayer games. I play both online and with IRL friends.
>>340072837
>Wii U is hands down the worst system they have made.
The N64 only has like 5 good games, and the Wii has maybe 1 or 2.
>I would even say the GC has a better library
The GC had a great library so I don't know why you say "even" like the GC is bad or something.
>Nintendo needs to stick to handhelds and give up on home consoles.
I would have agreed with this during the DS era because the DS was so much better than the Wii, but the 3DS kind of sucks.
>>340066071
it never was
3ds is the only one
>>340066071
I can't even figure out what to pirate for the damn thing. I've only bought a handful of games for it. The only two games I was interested in pirating were Xenoblade X and Fatal Frame V, and I've heard that both are pretty mediocre, so I don't know. I even have more games on my list to buy for my Vita than the Wii U.
>>340066071
Second hand, if your going to homebrew and ram it full of nes through to wii titles.
As a pal user being able to force gamecube games into 480p through hdmi is a fucking god send.
Blew my mind when it worked with the gamecube controller adapter aswell
No reason not to. Buy it, homebrew it, disable updates. Free games.
