Welcome to the Wii U Topic!

This topic is for the console of my childhood, but is also the reason the internet gives me anxiety
I don't care if y'all hate it I'm gonna keep playing Mario Kart 8 until 2030!!!

Notes and Rules:

• Please try to keep away from arguments over whether or not the console is good. I've gotten into arguments like that before, and I know now that that isn't nice for anybody.
  

• No discussion about modding here. You can discuss modding here, but you can also discuss modding here.

Thanks for looking! I feel a lot better now.

Yes, the Nintendo Network had a good run, and I had and am still having so much fun with it, and I don't usually say this, but…

RIP

Let's be honest, the Wii U certainly fueled a lot of successful games for the Nintendo Switch. If it weren't for Mario Kart 8, Pikmin 3, Splatoon and Mario Maker, their ports and sequals would never have been on the Switch!

Yea, even if it was Nintendo's, well worst selling console LOL (besides the Virtual Boy but is that even a console).
I think they could've marketed it better though, people probably just thought it was something for the Wii already released, so they didn't buy it.

The Wii U was such a cool console it’s a shame that it didn’t perform well because A. Most of its launch games were seen as uninteresting and B. It’s name was so similar to the Wii that your average Dad/Mom/Grandparent/Person who’s passively interested in video games/whatever would probably just see it and be like “well we already have a Wii at home why would we need another!?” Under the assumption that it’s just a new model of the Wii ( which is fair, it should have had a more unique name) that’s also why I hope the next Nintendo console isn’t called the “switch 2” or something like that because the average consumer would probably just think it’s just another Switch Lite/OLED

They're for the transfer tool
(the one where you're transferring between Wii Us)

My Wii U gamepad battery lasts shorter than my Game Boy Advance SP, which is still surviving on red battery despite not being charged for so long and being on red battery for like years..
