    The Wii-U walked so the Switch could run. Playing Windwaker HD on the Wii-U was one of my favorite experiences.

      I also loved my Wii U. It’s such a shame it wasn’t more popular. I basically used it like a switch with a box that needed to be plugged in, just took the console places and anywhere with an outlet I could plug in and play on the screen. Obviously the switch is the superior console but the Wii U was a banger.

          I know a number of people who thought the Wii U was an attachment for the Wii and not a separate console so you might be right about the name.

            A guy I used to work with was convinced the whole thing was a scam. “Did his own research” and determined that all he needed was the console to upgrade his Wii. So he bought one secondhand. For his kids. Didn’t quite work out the way he had hoped. Eventually broke down and bought the pad etc.

            He was not the brightest bulb, just the type to think of himself as such.

      More like the Wii U walked so the switch could take off on a fucking rocket sled if we compare the sales figures
