That Platinum Starfox game used it to the point porting it I'm sure would not be worth the money.What games really used the second screen? Nintedoland and Zombie U? I know the HD Zeldas used it.

Oh. Yeah. That really used it.That Platinum Starfox game used it to the point porting it I'm sure would not be worth the money.
Krathoon Mario Maker on Wii U was the best version of that game series because of the second screen. Lego City Undercover used it to display and control the open world map. Pikmin 3 was unique on it, but not necessarily better imo.That Platinum Starfox game used it to the point porting it I'm sure would not be worth the money.

That's another reason I want to clear space. I'm hoping the Steam Deck can take over on that front.Gamepad was a fantastic "Super Gameboy Advance"*.
*Provided you were in range of the base console
I kind of understand what they were going for. They thought, and Fils-Aime was open about it, that they could repeat the success of the Wii by just doing the same thing again: keep the Wii brand, have a small underpowered console a gimmicky controller, a packed in party game that used that controller. Because it worked the last time. What baffled me most was how Nintendo themselves apparently were unable to utilize that Gamepad better than they did. It's like Microsoft and its Kinect 2.0. It would be really interesting to read an interview with the executives about when they realized how bad it was and that the Wii U could not be saved. Was it already in the Fall of 2013?I had (and it's still somewhere) the Wii U: this was a huge failure that is unlike Nintendo, or maybe not unlike the then Nintendo, because even the concept didn't work.
First, instead of making a brand new console they made a somewhat "sequel" to the Wii with the same design cues, controllers, and name, which is very unlike Nintendo.
Secondly, having a fat tablet controller that is poorly envisioned because the iPad just came up, without having picked-up the conceptual non-sense that is the fact that you can't look at two screens at the same time (and the ergonomics where horrible as well), is very unlike Nintendo and I'm pretty sure the people who came up with that were fired.
Thirdly, in terms of library strategy, this was nothing but the expansion of the milking of their franchises they had started on Wii and nothing more.
The library is comparable to GCN or something like the Dreamcast. Failure in sales doesn't mean the console itself is trash. It's the modding capabilities that will likely cause the system to increase in price as the years go by. You can effectively play the entire library of GCN, Wii, Wii U and various other retro consoles on a modded Wii U. All upscaled to 1080p.aaaahhhh kids with no culture or taste whatsoever, they're the fresh eyes of mediocrity.
Playing natively GC and Wii games is the main selling point for the WiiU nowadays. However, we should also consider that FPGA tech will become more and more accessible/powerful so who knows if it is possible to create a GC/Wii/WiiU core... For example, in my case, I don't see myself going back for an original SNES or even NeoGeo since I can pretty much run all games (very accurately) on a FPGA core. I still have my SNES and NeoGeo but they are in a box for quite a while now...The library is comparable to GCN or something like the Dreamcast.

Yep. If I want to go back to Zero Mission, or Metroid Fusion I don't even have to take up an HDMI slot. You can plug the Wii U into a power outlet and just play on the gamepad. Pretty much the same as a Switch, but with better buttons and joysticks.Gamepad was a fantastic "Super Gameboy Advance"*.

Dear, the library is nothing compared to the GCN, the GCN was an exceptional although short-lived library, there never was on any other platforms.The library is comparable to GCN or something like the Dreamcast.

The library was enough to practically support Wii U and Switch. Multiple 10/10 games. Not sure what you're smoking. We're still getting games from Wii U, with Fatal Frame coming out real soon.Dear, the library is nothing compared to the GCN, the GCN was an exceptional although short-lived library, there never was on any other platforms.
But the things about the modding capabilities is interesting, until you can do the same with the switch and then there's no much point, but it's worth considering under that angle indeed.
I mean this as politely and cordial as I can possibly be, please just quit the "Dear" stuff while you can. It's not going to do you any favors in the long run. There are people here who like the Wii U, we're all aware of the reasons people dislike that console.Dear, the library is nothing compared to the GCN, the GCN was an exceptional although short-lived library, there never was on any other platforms.

To your point, I'm old enough to remember the Dreamcast when it released as well as the GCN. The Wii U software library is totally comparable when you take into account the big games that people bought the GCN and Dreamcast for. I'm old when it comes to video game message boards and I've been around for console releases as far back as the original NES.
DC - Sonic, Soul Calibur, RE: CV, Phantasy Star Online, Arcade Games
GCN - Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart, Paper Mario, Zelda, Pikmin, Metroid Prime, etc.
Wii U - Super Mario 3D World, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Wind Waker HD, BOTW, Twilight Princess HD, Paper Mario, Zombi U, RE: Revelations, Mario Kart 8, etc. (and that's not counting the Wii U VC which has RE4, Skyward Sword, Metroid Prime Trilogy, etc.)
They all have similar libraries in that they were limited compared to the competition but they also had some amazing titles that made the console worth owning. It's as simple as that.
What you mean is you're a latecomer and don't know shit about video game history. It doesn't matter, as I made the effort of posting above ^ there's absolutely no comparison possible (mainly due to their respective context, it's was almost impossible for the Wii U to have as potent of library as the GCN, maybe the Switch can).The library was enough to practically support Wii U and Switch.

Can you still shop for the Virtual Console on the Wii U?

lol, dude is going out of his way to be a complete dick to some of the nicest people on gaf.
Doing myself a favor and putting you on ignore.
Thats like expecting a team to win, even though they're behind by 40 points in the last quarter.
The Switch simply does not have the legs, technologically, to carry it another 2-3 years.
