The Nintendo Switch is the fastest selling console in US history, outselling even the Wii. I find this very hard to believe, given people were in hysterics over the Wii, but it’s true.
Switch is legit. It’s the only console I own.
I’m not sure that says as much about Switch as it does about you.
Not sure what you’re implying.
Anyway, I meant the only modern console I own. Everything else is retro.
MTFBWY…A
I’m a hardcore Nintendo fan, but I hated the Wii U. Just 20 seconds playing Nintendo Land in the store where you have to look at the Gamepad to aim, when the action is happening on the TV but you can’t focus on both, plus how clunky the Gamepad was and had horrible battery life.
And then it also had no first-party titles I cared enough about to buy it.

That’s too bad. I’ve always wanted to get one, but never bothered. Now it seems like the best titles for the system are being ported to the Switch. A friend of mine owned the system, so I was able to get and play through all of Pikmin 3, and loved it.

Umm… that you’re a pleb. 😄
No, I’m kidding. I was saying that if you only ever had the one console, that says more that you don’t play games than that the Switch is awesome enough that even you will buy it.
But since you say you meant it’s the only console between the current generation, I’ll take that. I don’t have a PS4 or XBone either and I have no interest in them. Being able to take Skyrim, Doom, and Zelda anywhere all the time, then switch back to using a TV on the fly… that’s amazing.

The Switch is really resonating with people, though. It’s really surprising seeing it take off with “non-gamers”, but I guess that’s what Nintendo has been great at ever since the DS.

I have a wiiu. I echo the sentiments that there aren’t many good games for it, but the ones i do have are very good. Super Mario 3D World, Starfox, the Zelda remakes and breath of the wild… A paper Mario game that I would have loved if it weren’t so determined to make me hate it…
Not to mention Splatoon, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, DK Tropical Freeze, Kirby & The Rainbow Curse, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Yoshi, Bayonetta 2, Lego City Undercover…
The system has plenty of great games. Not many, sure, but the few that are good, are really good.
How is the yoshi game? I loved Yoshis island but didn’t care for the overly childish nature of story (to be fair it’s intended more as a kids game whereas island is just a kid friendly game.)
Although I always play a rom hack that mutes the baby.

No. The Wii U is nothing like the GameCube.
It sold terribly; had a great lineup of games, although not many due to limited third party support; had the ability to use a second screen as a controller, introducing unique gameplay that was ultimately underutilized; had neat cover art; and had the best controller for Smash Bros ever.

It’s a direct sequel to the Wii, hence the use of that name. Only it’s really a beast of its own even then.Since you added this bit in later, the Wii is basically a GameCube with motion controls. There is really little difference hardware-wise. If the GameCube sold as well as the Wii did, they’d have definitely capitalized on the name.
I mean, sure, the internal hardware is similar, but that wasn’t my point at all. I just said I wanted a new GameCube, that looks like a GameCube, and has GameCube styled controllers, and functions like the GameCube but with upgraded hardware and capabilities. Regardless of the real life context around them releasing such a thing. And I just really like the name Game³.

Yeah, and I said the Wii U fits that bill. It doesn’t really look like a GameCube, but if I may quote your original post:

And I don’t see how the Wii U isn’t that.

He was referring the ability to link a GC controller to the Wii U.

As you say, it doesn’t look the part, and of course, it doesn’t have my ingenious name idea. 😛
Also, was the Wii U backwards compatible like the early Wiis? Because if not that’s definitely out of the picture.

He was referring the ability to link a GC controller to the Wii U.
The reason you can do that in a Wii is because the Wii also has GameCube parts in it, so when it emulates a GameCube, it’s hardware emulation. Same with the WiiU. Wii Mode on the WiiU is hardware emulation of the Wii, meaning the GameCube controller does not function on the WiiU like it does for the Wii because the WiiU wasn’t designed specifically for that function. Plus, when you plug a GameCube controller in for use on the WiiU, you plug it into a Wii Remote, not the console. It’s not really equivalent.

The wiiu can quite easily play GameCube games using Nintendont. No hard modding required.

In any case, at this point I just want Virtual Console for Switch. I’d love taking a massive retro library of Nintendo games anywhere on a whim that I can then dock on my TV again.
