A little baffled by the last email. I am not everyone and I am certainly not my dog. He says the hardware is perfectly fine, but then goes on to contradict himself by pointing out the controller as a gimmick and lack of ram and memory bandwith and miiverse hogging everything im the background.
If your guy’s thesis were true and it were only the games sucking that mattered, and largely they do on Wii U, then several playstation consoles would have flopped very hard very early. Anyone remember anything good on PS3 to play in the first year?
Chirp….
It was kept alive by decent marketing, state of the art hardware, and a blu ray player in the box. The games came much later just in the nick of time.
I agree that games matter the most, but buying a Wii U made me feel like a dipshit, and alot of that had to do with how ghastly imconvenient it was made by it’s shoddily designed hardware and that saccharine miiverse crap that infected the UI.
Yes, I despise the saccharine miiverse crap that is throughout the UI. However, that is software, not hardware.
The Gamepad is obtuse, but… it’s fine.
Wii U Classic controller is god-tier. I love the D-pad! I might buy another one…
Wii U’s hardware problems mostly came with you paying for hardware related stuff you didn’t want…
-The Gamepad (which no one hardly used, including Nintendo). Gamepad is probably half the cost of the platform.
-Wii backwards compatibility (I like it in my Wii U, as I like being able to play Wii games via HDMI connections. But Wii U includes a Wii in it)
I don’t like how the Switch controllers have those motion controls or the worthless ‘HD Rumble’. Take some of that out, and the Switch price could come down by $100.
