what I’m really saying is that I’m a fan of Nintendo and I want to want the Wii U. But at $250 and with no major exclusives that I don’t already have, I can’t justify it and it makes me sad to say so.
Trade “Wii U” for “Switch” and “$250” for “$500” and I totally agree.
Switch is $300.
The WiiU can run every console Zelda title since the gamecube’s WW.
That’s four games and two remakes. The Switch can only run one.
The Wii may not support HDMI, but it does support GameCube titles (of which I have many). Effectively, the WiiU’s VC catalogue is really not much bigger than the Wii’s. Also, I really am not impressed with the Gamepad.
There might not be a whole lot of reason for you to own a Switch yet if you have a WiiU, but there is also not much reason for me to own a WiiU if I own a Wii and had the option between a WiiU and a Switch when the price difference is 50 bucks.
