Same person was spamming the F-word on mine.

Feather item?

Having 2 screens is a good feature, the biggest problem is that Nintendo never used it enough on the Wii U, homebrew, as I’ve said before is not really a valid argument (at least in my opinion) as it requires you to modify the system in ways that are not intended.

Appreciate you though, thanks for sharing your opinion.

I’ve seen this point made a lot, and there is really no way I can fight against it. I personally don’t think that l homebrew is a really valid argument, if an argument is relating to something that the console was not initially meant to do, then it is not the console, but the community that is performing well. (This is not meant to criticize homebrewers or anything) As for the Wii U failing, it wasn’t just because of the marketing. While it did play a major part in the flop, it wasn’t the full reason. The Wii U launched with games that only appealed to hardcore fans. (New Mario U was seen as nothing more than the same game as New Mario Wii in the eyes of casual gamers. And Nintendo land was practically made of Nintendo references.)

Good job though, homebrew does kinda crush the switch, regardless of it requiring editing the system.

The Wii U definitely had a ton of spirit, at least the console itself, I personally think that the games have a little less personality, at least the Mario ones anyway. Mario 3d world is a good example of this, it’s an amazing game from an objective standpoint, the music is great, the level designs are second to none, and the multiplayer is just amazing. The only reason that people like games such as galaxy or odyssey so much more is because of their uniqueness and character. Mario 3d world is practically a 2d Mario game with a 3 dimensional coat of paint, having incredibly limited environments and more generic visuals. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that, the levels are still really fun and well designed, they’re just… forgettable. Of course that is just one example, there are quite a few Wii U games that follow a similar trend, but I don’t want to bore you guys out of your mind.

Anyways, good job with your argument.

That is probably true, but I wouldn’t be surprised if  Mario Kart 8 and Mario 3d world came about in some way shape or form anyway, Mario 3d land and Mario kart 7 were both very popular games, and being Nintendo, they would probably make follow-ups anyways. Of course we can’t be sure, so this is a valid argument

But Wii is backwards compatible table with GCN (which is widely agreed upon to have a better library I’ll let you be the judge of that)

Interesting that the cheapest Wii you Chili’s find was 90 CAD, I got my Wii a few weeks ago, for only 40 USD, it is probably a regional difference. As for backwards comparability, I feel that the GCN actually does a better job. Having its Gameboy player accessory gives it comparability with gameboy, gameboy color, and gameboy advance. And by proxy, all NES & SNES games ported to those handhelds. Of course, the Wii U has an HDMI cable, and that is definitely a valid argument. Personality is a good point, but personality comes with a huge sacrifice, load times. With the nintendo switch, you can power the console on, and be playing a game within moments, while the Wii U takes a much longer time to load the same games. AND for Wii mode, the console has to reset itself entirely. Also, interesting fact, if you adjust the Wii Us launch price (350$) for inflation, it would cost about 490 USD today. And during the Wii U generation, they actually did create low quality games that were only meant to make money. (Mario tennis ultra smash, Amibo festival, ECT.) Now, I will say the Wii Us gimmick was kinda genius, taking the DS to the next level, the biggest problem is that they never really used it well, they failed to port a substantial amount of DS/3DS games to the system, and in lots of cases, the gamepad made things slow and clunky in lots of games, and was only really used super well in a few. But those few games work AMAZINGLY with it. Either way, there just isn’t enough. The gimmick itself did not make the Wii U flop, it was the lack of legitimately good uses for the gimmick. And of course the worst marketing in the history of mankind. The reason people say that the Gamepad was not unique enough, I’d be cause the PS Vita had the same functionality beforehand. As for social features and Miis, I have no arguments whatsoever. So instead, I’m gonna talk about Virtual Console and NSO. One big disadvantage about virtual console is the price, now hear me out, every NES game on virtual console would cost 5 dollars each, according to Google, the Wii U had about 94 nes games available. (PLZ fact check me if I’m wrong) this totals up to about 470$ while switch online has 100+ nes games (according to nintendo) so I think it’s fair to assume that most of if not all virtual console games are on switch meaning that it would take 23.5 years of NSO to match the price of every NES game on virtual console, not to mention that you also get loads of SNES and gameboy games with it. The gamepad is a higher quality controller than the joycons. And it would work well as a home console DS if nintendo used it better. (Or you can hack it I guess)

Anyways, great arguments, also forgive my numerous grammar issues, autocorrect hates me for some reason.

I think that my initial comment may have been a little extreme, so sorry about that. I just wanted to clarify that I don’t think that the Wii U is a bad console, just kind of mid.

Also, you guys are REALLY good at arguing, love to see it.

Totally agree with you there, it is honestly kind of bizarrely to me that anyone argues that switch sports is better. Switch Sports is a LOT worse, but, the switch 1 has games that completely outclass the Wii Us efforts, Mario Odyssey destroys 3d world, ( even though 3d world is a great game). And it is widely agreed upon that Mario party Jamboree is a better game than Mario party 10. Of course there are many more, so I may elaborate more.

This might get heated, or not… Who knows!? All I know is that I have remained the undefeated champion of proving to people that the Wii U is MID.

Is that a good thing to be proud of? I have NO clue

Here are most of my advanced tracks, you can chose whatever one(s) you want.

I’m working on Breadbugkart ultimate.

GCN Rainbow Road,
nx2 Whistlestop Summet,
NX squeaky clean sprint.

Development update: my pc crashed and I ended up loosing the entirety of my Crown City prototype, this is not a cancelation, I simply felt the need to inform all of you so no one is confused about the lack of track releases lately. I am very sorry about the inconvenience
.

I would love to do that, I’m debating remaking ns2, GCN, or Wii U rainbow road.

Mario kart world tracks are allowed, I’m already working on crown city, cheep cheep falls/ acorn heights may show up later on.

Quick announcement, breadbugkart ultimate only has 9 retro track slots remaining. So place you sugestions soon.(side note, battle courses do not take up track slots)
