And yet, the games for Wii U are among some of the best Nintendo has to offer.

>caring about nintendo consoles

top kek. I was too busy with my 3ds

It wasn't alternate user, that was real life. Nintendo spent 4 solid years being completely fucking retarded.

>Star Fox Zero
>Color Splash
>3d World
>No new Zelda until the Switch release

Some of them. That doesn't means stuff like Color Splash was garbage tier.

Honestly, I think they panicked. They knew Wii u was a flop already, so they started development of the switch. That caused the delay for the Wii u version.

There was more than enough to make up for those

Let's take a moment and reflect on all of those weird, mediocre, cookie-cutter spinoffs of established franchises Nintendo plopped onto the 3DS library. Here's one right now.

The only people who bought this game did it for the amiibo.

Remember this little gem, Metroid fans?

Barely. Even the good games forced the awful gamepad. Including Splatoon which it didn't even make sense for.

As much as I loved Smash too, I'd still debate that feature wise it's pretty awful. They gave us the bare minimum for a "good" smash game and nothing more.
>Barebones single player
>Smash tour
Even the 3ds version had much much better modes.

B-b-but one day my complete NIB amiibo collection will be worth thousands!

Fuck off. That shit is one of the biggest fuckups in the history of the Wii U.

I am a HUGE Metroid fan and I actually liked this game a lot. As far as spinoffs go, it's fine. Just came out at the wrong time and place.

What about this crossover of the millennium?

Don't forget amiibo festival and the Mario tennis game

>Even the good games forced the awful gamepad. Including Splatoon which it didn't even make sense for.
Did you even play Splatoon?

And this hefty installment?

But you got daily 'Why don't you own WiiU?' thread on Sup Forums, followed by list of 10/10 gaming masterpiece.

Yes and I specifically remember not being able to use the pro controller anywhere but the couch multiplayer. If you wanted to play turf war you needed to use the clunky ass gamepad

Except that Wii U was much better than the Switch so far. I really pity you blind sheep who don't give a single fuck about quality and only care about bandwagon marketing.

>I am a HUGE Metroid fan and I actually liked this game a lot.
That doesn't mean this is a good Metroid game user.
>As far as spinoffs go, it's fine.
Except that it's doing everything wrong. It's a multiplayer spinoff from a singleplayer series, it's a 3Ds game with graphics from the DSiware shop AND it's not even vaguely Metroid aside from the names of the monsters and characters within it.

OH NO NO NO

If they were, people would have bought the console.

Filthy cretins

Softmod + External HDD = All nintendo games (minus 3DS & switch) on one console. So why don't you own one?

You have to realize that there's a core group of hardcore Weebs who were able to move past the idolshit and just appreciate the JRPG mechanics.

>any Wii U game with multiplayer
>Player 1 has to use the gamepad
>everyone else uses like wii remotes or something

You pull this off, you give it to your friend, say "Fuck you, this is all you get. Look at me, I got all this shit. I'm in control, motherfucker!"

>popular = quality.
>millions of flies must be right.
You people are already as bad as Witcher 3 fags and AAA games fans. Congratulations.
You mean after people actually played it they found out that it was actually good?
Filthy shitposter.

Untrue, atleast 90% of the people thought the wii u was a handheld linked to your wii. it was just shit marketing and a shitty name

>You mean after people actually played it they found out that it was actually good?
user, I know you're too much of a filthy dakimura hugging weeb to realize this, but making "Japanese Idols" the major theme of TMS was just about as harmful to it's appeal/value to non-weebs as making it about My Little Pony would be.

don't forget that they used the term "upgrade" in all their advertisements

>a huge load of angry buzzwords will hide my retardation for sure.
It's ok that you confirmed what kind of filthy shitposter you are, but it wasn't really necessary when your first shitpost was already very explicit about your shitposting intention, my cancerous friend.

Deny the truth user. Do whatever you want.

If all of your problems with it are based around the fact that it doesnt match the Metroid franchise, then you are missing the point of it being a spinoff.

It was basically a library of 3ds games.

user, spinoffs usually have enough in common with their original franchise that fans of the original find it appealing.

Nothing about Federation Force looked or felt appealing. It was a piece of shit.

Nintendo has had their share of stinkers in the past, the difference was it took months or years to propagate gear out from japan so the stupid shit dies before export.
for example, the virtual boy didnt live long enough to make it to europe

The switch is literally a better Wii U

And let's not even discuss the e-Reader.

I don't really play Nintendo games, but I remember seeing a trailer for the Wii U back in 2011, and I thought it looked pretty cool. It's a shame it ended up flopping so hard.

This, the idolshit was whatever but the gameplay was a fucking bliss

Trust me, this isn't the first spinoff that took a single player game and made it multiplayer

I don't get the love for xenoblade. I found to be grindy and mostly boring at times. Like I enjoyed it..but it was at most a 7/10 for me.

I'm going to have to disagree

That's not a spinoff, that's just a Mario Sports game with Basketball. It also had Final Fantasy guest characters. You could play as Cactuar or Moogle.

Don’t forget this piece of work

WiiU was the ONLY console getting exclusives 2013-2015. This is just outright revisionism because if it's absolutely terrible final year.

I don't know if it's switchtards or Sony/Xbox/PC fans who hated being reminded that the failed console of the gen was the only one getting exclusives, but these fucking threads consistently have the most retarded posters on the board trying to convince you that you hated the WiiU.

It's a Mario spinoff.

Speaking of final fantasy. this game SUCKED because it was NOTHING like Final Fantasy games!

No, it's a Mario Sports game. Mario Sports is a well established franchise.

>Theatrhythm
FF gets nonstop releases, it's spinoffs are allowed to be shit tier if they want.

Released during the Metroid paradise era during the early aughts.

I bought the Wii U the day they released the Zelda version and never regretted it once. To this day, I don’t understand the issue whatsoever. I got a lot of use out of mine and still do with the VC

Release date has nothing to do with quality. Your argument has shifted from "it's bad because it's too different" to " it's bad because it came out at a bad time" which I already agreed with here

>WiiU was the ONLY console getting exclusives 2013-2015.
And only one or two per year were actually worth getting.

Dumb revisionismfag

This. Even my Wii played every game every NES, SNES, SEGA, and 64 game ever made. PS1 emulation was weak tho lasy timed I checked (2010) hopefully it was fixed with Wii U

That one is actually good.

PS1 emulation? On the Wii/Wiiu?

What did he mean by this?

Yes it exists. I havent fucks with emulation on Wii since 2010 tho so dont know if bugs were fixed. Metal Gear played at 15fps so I know back then it was in beta. Tbh Wii is the best system fir emulation since it plays 64 and gamecube with virtually no bugs unlike PC. Dont believe the hardware meme. I had 8gb if ram and a i7 with a gtx 700 series back in the day and 64 and gamecube still ran like shit on PC. From videos on youtube nothings changed

To be fair this board memed the switch to where it today but we are playing the long game. If the Switch failed Nintendo was going to go to mobile. Wii U was Nintendos Sega Saturn. We cant afford Switch being Nintendos Dreamcast or we eould lose Link to fags like what happened to Sonic. Now there will be another console after Switch. Your welcome.

The WiiU was console of the year because of this bad boy

>underwater fighting

yeah ok

this game is actually good, I made some really nice rooms in this.

Color Splash was good though

b8

Nope, the Wii U still can't play fucking Tenchu. And another thing, the Retroarch devs refuse to release the shaders compatible with the Wii U

3D World was good though.

No one knew what they were doing in 2012 - 2016. The handhelds were the best new platforms at the time, WiiU was the best new console at the time if you paid attention beyond which machine made the prettiest graphics, and the overall correct answer was sticking with the fucking PS3 since it kept getting games and damn near everything on it was dirt cheap. Surreal ass time, I tell you hwat.

What's crazy is learning that Odyssey and 3D World have the same developers

There are more games worth playing on the Wii U than there are on the PS4.
