Personally I have not get the update yet on the EU version of the console. A few notes from me regarding the system: I play everyday on the Wii U. I still have some titles to enjoy on it like the 3D World, Yoshi's Wolly World, Watchdogs, Zombie U, Mass Effect III and the BOW. Calculating quickly all the aforementioned games will give me about 500 hours of gaming. I do not see any reason at all to move on to the Switch, perhaps some third party games and the upcoming Pokemon Eevve but seriously I am totally satisfied with the U and I bought it quite late in September 2015. Lately I enjoyed Bayonetta 2, the Wind Waker HD, the Twillight Princess HD, Xenoblades Chronicles X, Darksiders Warmastered Edition, Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush. Too much quality for such an underated console. Probably I will not even buy the Switch but the next console after it. On a last note I have not try also the Skyward Sword on the Wii so add this too on my Wii U-to-play list!
Great news. However I will be very interesting to see if in near future some Chinese electronics company like Xiaomi delve into the gaming console market. So far they have released extremely decent phones so maybe they decide to invest in gaming consoles as well. Then the shape of the Asian market will really change!
We have to have a proper Wario game since 2001 in the GBA. The fact that it managed to get to the top of the sales chart even for just two days it's complete success.
I really miss SEGA being a strong game developer. They can produce so many good titles: from Daytona USA to some new version of the Altered Beast. It seems like either they don't have the energy anymore to delve into serious game developing or they're at the brisk of financial corruption so they rely only on Sonic IP to bring funds in.
@Heavyarms55 I know and I agree. But still I've met a lot of Turkish while in the UK a few years back and they're very fond of their leaders. The thing with all of these Balkan countries (including Greece & maybe Cyprus to an extend) is that the locals are extremely close minded and resist to any change whatsoever.
Don't be fanboys. We are blessed to get this on a Nintendo console. One of the finest platformers of all time and definitely on par with N64 platformers if not better than most of them. A PS classic!
@LegendOfPokemon That's the point. The Wii U didn't get any 3rd party titles but the Switch gets mostly everything. That's the big difference. That's why I'm happy.
No I disagree. The Wii U lost the console war because at that time everyone was going crazed about graphics power and honestly the Wii U couldn't handle the hype surrounding PS4 and XBOX One. Add to that that third party companies were complaining about the difficulty of writing code and developing Wii U games and then you'll understand why eventually the successor of the Wii failed. However to my eyes it didn't fail but it could do so much more. It did get amazing first and third party titles: Super Mario 3D World, Xenoblades Chronicles X, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Watchdogs, Zombie U, COD Ghosts, LOZ Breath of The Wild. Not to mention you get all the library of the Wii!
This had so potential. It's a bad title but alas it could have been way more polished. However it's quite enjoyable and I recommend it to every puzzle enthousiast.
Having 100% Xenoblades Chronicles X on the Wii U, I'm now focusing on the Super Mario Run Remix and new Star world. After, I will try to play the Soul Axiom on the Wii U that I've downloaded but never bothered to play before. Then, I may proceed and buy the Super Mario 3D World & Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze. After summer I will start the new the Legend of Zelda on the Wii U and hopefully next year I will finally move on to the Nintendo Switch console.
Dreamcast 2 or SEGA 32X2 .... Most probably they will announce that some new Sonic the Hedgehog or that they're absorbed completely by some gaming company.
@HappyMaskedGuy The BOTW you can have it on the Wii U as well, not reason to upgrade. Never interested in the Splatoon and Mario Kart series. As for the Mario Odyssey, I can still see myself enjoying Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario Galaxy. But the Crash Bandicoot series, oh my sweet Mother of God. Now we're talking. It has been one of the most well-made platformers of all time and a dear favorite of mine along the Jack and Daxter series. Now that I'm thinking about it, I would upgrade to the Switch for the Skyrim & Dark Souls.
Didn't know that the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy will come to the Switch! OMG I'm so excited! No joking now! Finally 1 reason to buy the system. Hope Spyro comes too and I do hope the remastered edition of FF7 comes to us as well.
@DK-Fan Correct but in China the salary is too low (being married to wife from Southeast Asia) as in most of Asia except Japan so prospective customers cannot afford to buy gaming consoles and will settle down to spend their savings on widespread recognised products instead such as expensive mobile phones and tablets; for prestige. Also many Chinese actually make money from mobile games (like a dollar or two per day).
@Crono1973 I meant Nintendo should've followed the example that Sony and Microsoft set by releasing remakes of old AAA games to their respective consoles. Nintendo could've released a remake of Wii AAA titles in the Wii U, even at the launch of the system back in 2012 if not a little bit later.

No way I am buying this even if I had a Switch. I’m not into content creation rather content appreciation.

Re: Retro-Style Aerial Combat Sim Sky Rogue Is On Target For A Switch Release This Month
@Racthet916 I'm very impressed with this number. Is it really that good? To me it looks 😒 I definitely would love a new Ace Combat though.
Re: Sega Reveals Shenmue 1 & 2 Remaster, But It's Skipping Switch
Very bad not porting it to the Switch. Very bad move SEGA from you. However, it would be AMAZING to have these titles on the Switch.
Re: Sega Announces AGES For Nintendo Switch, Mega Drive Mini Console

Re: Here's How The Nvidia Shield Port Of Mario Galaxy Handles The Lack Of Motion Controls
A question: Why would Nintendo port Super Mario Galaxy to the Nvidia Shield? Is it really worth the investment? I fail to understand.
As many added here Nintendo should have ported Wii games to Wii U in HD just like Sony and Microsoft.
