Wii U is the most innovative of all the Nintendo's home consoles. The system allows players to have access to the entire catalog from the NES to the Wii. The uniqueness of its controller and what it brings in terms of gameplay... it's just awesome.
@JudgeMethos said : "The minimum memory for Skyrim is 4 gb. The Wii U only had 2 gb. I don't think it would have worked like you think it would have. The Switch has 4 gb of system memory which is why it's easier to port some games. 2 gb was a joke."
1Gb available for games because an entire one has to be used for the system.(1/2 one for the Switch).
Now, Zelda BOTW and Xenoblade Chronicles X run on a Wii U with 1Gb of RAM. Don't know you but when I see how Xenoblade 2 runs poorly on a Switch with 3.5Gb RAM, I ask myself if the homogeneity of the system wouldn't be more important than the RAM size itself... ? ^^
Breath Of The Wild is the pinnacle of Nintendo. A game that burns all the others without any doubt... So, I'm not surprised, even myself, I have 3 Breath of the Wild at home...
You know what ? The Treehouse destroyed my hype for Yoshi Crafted World...
They skined Yoshi's Woolly World... I launched again WW just to compare and it's insane how Crafted World is based on Wooly world in terms of engine, menus and physics...
It's almost like a "transformed port", a port that keeps a skeleton and replaces the skin...
And the worst thing I saw during the video : the difficulty level is around 0 on a scale of 10...
Woolly World was already easier than Yoshi's Island but kept a kind a difficulty level but Crafted World is a pure "game for casuals/non players".
And the last part, the global design is lower in quality than Woolly World and I don't get that... I was blown away when I relaunched WW to compare with CW... o_O
Like I said, I confirm that it works better for nintendo but what's the price ?
They just fade into the mass videogaming industry now, before they stood out... Good business or bad, they stood out by creating and bringing great exclusives.
Look, even if we take the Wii U which was a "bad business" for them... Who can complains about the quality of :
MarioKart 8 Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze Zelda Breath Of the Wild Bayonetta 2 SuperSmash 4 Captain Toad Super Mario 3D World Pikmin 3 Lego City undercover Yoshi's Wooly World Hyrule Warriors Super Mario Maker New super Mario Bros U Splatoon Toky Mirage Sessions The Wonderful 101 Project Zero V etc... etc...
Now the Switch is a mishmash of IOs/Android/PS360/WiiU/PS2/DS/blablabla ports machine... Nintendo is clearly loosing is soul... I think that they're gonna pay for that in the future and trust me, i don't want Nintendo to become a 3rd party developer like Sega is today... :/
You're absolutely right on that, even if the business is going down now... But you know, Justin Bieber is doing very well considering all the crap that he does too...
I think what the majority of my friends did could be an interesting thing to do... they hacked their systems and now they have plenty of games to play...
I'm not fan of hacking so that's why I never did it but it is true that the Switch is much more interesting when hacked... and it's sad... :/
What software ? I bought nothing since Octopath Traveler... o_O
On my PS4, it's like 4 big games per month :
God of War 4 Dragon Quest XI Red Dead Redemption 2 Shadows of the Tomb Raider Spiderman Assassin's Creed Odyssey Soulcalibur VI Fallout 76 Hitman 2 Spyro Trilogy Darksiders III etc..etc...
@oji And I personally talk even about 4 games because Splatoon 2 is really a 1.5 version of the Wii U one.
After 20 months of existence, I think its a really sad "TOP 10". Without the Wii U catalogue, the Switch librairy is really not great at all in terms of big hits !
@westman98 sais "The Wii U was a console that was struggling to sell 3 million units annually, while the Switch sold that much in the last quarter alone "
DISTRIBUTED not SOLD !
Thos numbers are ridiculous because I remember that I couldn't find a Switch easily in store the first year. Now the stores are full of Switches...
One of the best system ever !
And there is another thing that I have to say about the Megadrive, from my perspective, it the MOST BEAUTIFUL DESIGN a console ever got.
The shapes, the logos, the colours, everything is gorgeous.
Yep, in terms of design, the Megadrive is an absolute beauty. <3
The success is falling appart my friend... :/ How come a 5 years old system like the PS4 sells 2 times more than the new success Nintendo system in the US ?
It's insane in that case, because if the Switch is a success, what's the PS4 then ? lol
I have a mixed feeling I must say.
In one hand, this is a promotion of hyperconsumption at the max level possible and in the other one, this ensure the preservation of the history...
The owner seems to be a nice man and not that kind of collectors who just feel superior above the others because they own a lot of stuffs...
So, congrats to him because even if you need a lot of money to have that at your place, you need to dedicate a lot of time too for the management of this amazing museum !
This is the best proof of the awesome job they did. I even can visualize the map in real time in my head... o_O I mean, this is absolutely crazy because it's like I WAS THERE, ME ! o_O Zelda Breath of the Wild is not a game, I swear it goes beyond gaming.
Just watching the video, you understand instantly how this game is so special ! I have spent 400 hours in this game and I think I could still play it now... just incredible experience... even those sounds they used in the remix, they speak to you directly deep inside... Fabulous !

Re: Nintendo Is Closing The Official Wii U Facebook Page This Friday
The spirit of Satoru Iwata...
Wii U is the most innovative of all the Nintendo's home consoles.
The system allows players to have access to the entire catalog from the NES to the Wii.
The uniqueness of its controller and what it brings in terms of gameplay... it's just awesome.
One of my favorite system of all times.

No, it doesn't look "great" on TV. It looks acceptable at best but not "great".

I've chosen Xenoblade 2 because I was talking about Xenoblade X on the Wii U !

Re: Video: Watch All Of The Nintendo Treehouse Footage Right Here

I'm not agree when you talk about "a major fecesstorm", this is too violent... but it's not that great compare to Woolly World.
The atmosphere and the textures quality are better on the Wii U's Yoshi.

Re: Nintendo Really Wants You To Use A Wired Connection For Smash Bros. Ultimate
@Blizzia
If I get Smash U L T I M A T E, it has to be ULTIMATE !
How can you play something technical like Smash without a TOPNOTCH connection, meaning WIRED ! ?
How can you play GOOD with the Joycons ? The NGC controller is the perfect match for SSMB...
How you can play and train to the best as you can if you don't have the FULL version of the game ? Meaning DLCs...
Re: Nintendo Really Wants You To Use A Wired Connection For Smash Bros. Ultimate
The today's Nintendo :
Pay to get your game
Pay to play online
Pay to get a LAN adapter
Pay to get a GameCube Controllers
Pay to get DLCs
Super Smash is not Ultimate at all !
YOU CAN MAKE THE ULTIMATE SSMB but it's not from the start. :/

1300 games - 800 Shovelwares - 300 ports - 175 inferior multiplats = 25 games left...

Re: Here Are The Top Ten Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games As Of September 2018

For me, it's a shame to have in your TOP 10 of best selling games, 4 ports that come from the "so bad previous system"... A real shame !
Re: Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa On Missing Analyst Estimates: “The Holiday Season Battle Begins Now”
""We must keep releasing new software""
What software ? I bought nothing since Octopath Traveler... o_O
On my PS4, it's like 4 big games per month :
God of War 4
Dragon Quest XI
Red Dead Redemption 2
Shadows of the Tomb Raider
Spiderman
Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Soulcalibur VI

Re: Video: Check Out Yooka-Laylee's Demastered Nintendo 64 Mode In Action

This is ridiculous because they made that 64bits version without really working on it.
I give a single image to show HOW N64 could look on HD screen and HOW Playtonics displays its game... :/
Basically, they just drop the resolution and put the textures on the lowest quality and DONE ! :/
And another stuff that shows how bad they did the "job", THE FREAKING HUD stays in HD above the CRT shader ! o_O Morons...
