Topic: Upgrading from Wii with kids. Switch or WiiU?

Get the Switch. There will be more games coming to it and you can bring it on car trips and train rides. You will regret your WiiU purchase since like others said it is a dead console and soon you kids will start asking you for a Switch anyway since thats what their friends will have.

For many of the reasons mentioned here I am leaning towards the Switch however you will have to be careful with young children. Whilst the controllers will be fine (you can get some decent affordable 3rd party controllers that aren't too expensive) inloke the Gamepad which if broken will be a costly repair job or replacement; if they manage to take the Switch out and damage that then there is potential for trouble.

Whilst I do like my Wii U it is a "dead system" and its best days are behind us. There are several great games for kids but honestly, equivalent games are either already out for the Switch or on their way.

Plus you can always pick up Blazing Star and start "training them up".

IF ANYONE SAW IT... Just look at the last game of the list

@jeninejessica22 BEWARE the last game of the list of @SKTTR is a mature game lol.

@jeninejessica22 Doom is not a kid game.

I'm sure she's grateful for you pointing that out. She might have been confused. I suspect she's dealt with it though.

If ever there was a candidate for closing a thread, this is it.
