When is this going to be actually worth my time and money to buy?
>still expensive as fuck
>switch is already out
If they port more wii u games to the switch though I'll regret buying this, what the fuck do I do
I just want to play the new donkey kong, kart, mario maker, and maybe some virtual console games
I'm waiting to pick one up cheap.
Hack it and pirate all the games you want.
>b-b-buh that's bad
Who fucking cares? Nintendo doesn't support the Wii U anymore. If they won't support it, then you shouldn't feel bad about not supporting it either.
I might do this, I had a great time with a hacked DS
I know you can emulate the WiiU and I have a good PC but a lot of games are shit still and I really just want it for when I have friends over. Does cemu support multiple controllers? If it does I'm more inclined to try this first
I have no idea, I've never used cemu.
I do know that refurbs are $175 on Nintendo's website, and if you have the official GC adapter you can any of the GC peripherals through homebrew
You can also use other USB controllers with homebrew
Never. The price is going up, not down.
I've been tempted to get one too, but like you said, most of the big games will probably end up being ported to Switch. So I'm just gonna wait and get a Switch in a year or two. I don't mind waiting, I have plenty of other shit to play.
If they move over donkey kong, kart, mario maker, and smash, and they got the virtual console, I'm sold
Might take a shot at a refurb as much as I'm wary of them
I'm hoping for Bayo 2, and SM3D World. We'll see.
two years ago
The wii u only has 5 games worth playing. I would just wait for a switch port.
They definitely won't port niche games like W101. A Xenoblade X port is unlikely too.
And they already ported Hyrule Warriors and Yoshi's Woolly World, so those won't be ported again. Meaning Wii U still has the definitive versions.
3D World is unlikely to be ported as well
And Wii U has access to all of the Wii homebrew so if you're looking for that, might as well spend the extra $60 or so and get a Wii U
You missed your chance by two years or so. Splatoon was a huge fucking hit and people ended up dumping an ungodly amount of time into it.
Has Nintendo switched the servers for online stuff off?
Why buy the Wii U when you can just use Dolphin to emulate it all?
In the worst case scenario, I'll just emulate those 5 games.
>And Wii U has access to all of the Wii homebrew so if you're looking for that, might as well spend the extra $60 or so and get a Wii U
I already own a wii, and that's all I need.
No
I would be very surprised if the rest of the Wii U games don't get Switch ports.
No.
I don't care about splatoon
That's what I'm considering but some newer wii u games are not in playable condition still. I just want to have the best possible experience. Also if multiplayer is more easily accessible with a legitimate console I value that too
bump because this is a consumer dark zone right now
Nintendo are apparently "in discussion" about if they will port wii u games or not. So it is not a given
It's the only console you can play ALL the Zeldas on. Switch doesn't have old games and to run CEMU at decent speed you'll need a $1500 PC.
>the white 32gb refurbs aren't available anymore
shit
It would be stupid not to port first party titles.
