My brother gifted me a used WiiU maybe 1-2 years ago, and for that time it had 2 games that were kinda not good. Eventually i got some wiiu games and wii games aswell, and when i started to play it i would say its not a bad console and ive wanted one when it came out. I personally think its a great console with a nice set of games for it, and for it also being able to emulate ds games BEFORE it was innactive to download ds games, is pretty cool since its kinda like a bigger ds
Nice call out on the consoles. I really hate the propaganda, mostly from the new Nintendo team, calling the Wii-U a failure. It was only a marketing failure. I have tested & proven that the games put out for the Wii-U, and later move to the switch, actually plays better on the Wii-U and has better looking graphics than on the Switch. The fact is after their presidents death, the NX console was scrapped, the switch was made and Nintendo spent millions in fees to make sure no backwards compatibility would be available from the Switch forward. So they had a very good for promoting the death and “failure” of previous Nintendo game systems.
thanks for watching! I agree that the Wii U is actually a solid console, the marketing was just horrendous. But honestly I didnt realise how good of a system it was until researching for this video, so hopefully spreading the info here will help some other people notice that it really wasn't all bad.
It's an interesting tactic because with the Switch, Nintendo didn't want it to be seen as a successor to 3ds, but they DID want it to be seen as successor to Wii U. I suppose that by Nintendo's standards, it was better for them to market the Switch as being way better than the Wii U, while keeping the 3Ds audience alive just in case Switch flopped and they needed to fall back on 3ds. After all, the DS systems with sales combined were easily their most successful consoles of all time, so it's a big risk to move away from them. They were a lot more wishy washy back when moving from Wii to Wii U, completely failing to sell the Wii U as its own thing. They were too self conscious about the console from the start, following massive success of the Wii. And it appealed to nobody, with its second screen gimmick being way too niche for its purposes, somewhat worse than a wiimote, and making the console expensive. The failure to use the wii u tablet is what killed the system. My prediction is history will repeat itself and Nintendo will be self-conscious about introducing the Switch successor, not wanting to trample on Switch sales, and this will lead the Switch 2 to do badly. They might aim for some new dumb gimmick and fail to land on an audience that is surrounded by vastly more impressive technology than Nintendo can affordably offer.
@@tipsy634 thanks for the comment, I can absolutely see the Switch 2 going the way of the Wii U, unless nintendo goes all out and makes a completely new system instead of a switch 2, which is why their previous systems have done so well, the Wii and Switch were completely new ideas and that's why they sold so well. Unless the Switch 2 brings something huge to the table I'd be worried personally. Backwards compatibility with the Switch would sell it enough for me personally though.
@@rockman08 I rolled my eyes as well, but in his defense it's pretty hard for a console to really be "underrated" now. Everyone loves the GameCube, Vita, and Dreamcast now even if they weren't financially successful at the time of release. Really, TurboGrafx 16 is the only console that feels legitimately underrated as it doesn't get near the current praise or rereleases as the other consoles. It wouldn't feel right calling the Atari Jaguar or 3DO underrated.
