Is there any reason left to own a wii u?

[asmith906]

With Wonderful 101 and Tokyo Mirage getting ported are their any significant reasons to own a wii u? Only ones I can really think of are the Zelda remasters and I'd be shocked if those don't get ported.

Super Mario 3D World

 

[vestan]

3D World but that shit is getting ported soon (i hope)

Also homebrew

Wii U is the Greatest Gaming Hobbyist Device short of a PC. Here's Why. [Image Heavy]

Edit: Please accept my apology to all the Vita lovers out there for the poll I present to you my case for the Wii U and why it is one of the most important pieces of gaming hardware any enthusiast can own. With some tinkering, the Wii U can be home to one of the greatest collections of games...

[Lord Vatek]

Xenoblade Chronicles X, i.e. the best game on the system.

 

[Odeko]

Mario 3D World
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Pikmin 3
Star Fox Zero
Kirby Rainbow Curse

 

[Papercuts]

Pikmin 3 is one of the best games on the system.

Port that and it can be punted into the trash.

 

[RobotHaus]

Nintendoland and asymmetrical multiplayer.

 

[RochHoch]

Xenoblade Chronicles X is amazing, and it not getting a Switch port is a crime

 

[StarskySilvers]

Devils Third

lol

 

[Replicant]

Mario 3D World
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Pikmin 3
Star Fox Zero

Wii backwards compatibility.

Yoshi's Wooly World.

 

[ILikeFeet]

 

[zoboomafoo]

Nintendo Land, and Wii + GC games over HDMI.

 

[Jonneh]

Xenoblade X and Nintendo Land still rock

 

[Max|Payne]

Devil's Third, obviously.

 

[Deleted member 34873]

Fatal Frame 5

sort of

 

[GingerbreadMan]

Yes, mod it and use it as a Gamecube / Wii machine

 

[Dyle]

Affordable Space Adventures

 

[Atolm]

I would say no but Fatal Frame 5 still doesn't work well on CEMU.

Xenoblade Chronicles X, i.e. the best game on the system.

Xenoblade X is the last remnant. That game has to make it out, it has to.

 

[xir]

Paper Mario thing
But yeah the games exiled to this hardware grows slighter still

 

[Dolobill]

Wii backwards compatibility.

Yoshi's Wooly World.

And Gamecube, with a simple softmod.

 

[King Kingo]

Xenoblade Chronicles X, i.e. the best game on the system.

Which is all but guaranteed to be ported to the Switch after Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition.

 

[Nayishiki]

Xenoblade Chronicles X, The Zeldas, Fatal Frame, Nintendo Land and Mario 3D world to name a few.

 

[fiendcode]

Not many. It's been Dreamcasted.

 

[Deleted member 17627]

The virtual console selection for N64/GBA/DS games on there is great.

 

[Suicide King]

Devil's Third, obviously.

This post is correct. The best game ever released on the console.

 

[KtotheRoc]

Still waiting for ports of Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD.

 

[asmith906]

Fatal Frame 5

sort of

I'm so mad this never received a physical release in North America. As far as I can tell it's never been on sale on eshop.

 

[Deleted member 17388]

 

[m_shortpants]

If you want to play any Zelda, aren't they all on WiiU?

Fuck me I would buy a Wind Waker HD on switch so hard

 

[Iwao]

3D World, Twilight Princess and Wind Waker.

 

[Benzychenz]

Switch doesn't have Virtual Console and Wii backwards compatibility.

 

[henlo_birb]

Nintendo Land is honestly a blast. It's worth owning a Wii U if you're a collector. Go for the white one. The white Wii U Pro Controller is a thing of beauty and has potentially the best D-Pad of all time.

 

[NewGuy]

Wii games, and moding

 

[AndreGX]

Yep, 12 reasons

Spoiler

Okay, so more like 6 if you ask me as the single-player games were whatever, but point still stands.

 

[--R]

The only reason to ever get a WIi U, Xenoblade Chronicles X.

 

[LewieP]

It's a great retrogaming box, since you can play Wii U, Wii & Gamecube natively, you can get all the Virtual Console stuff (and imo it's the best emulation option for DS games), and homebrew.

 

[Deleted member 17388]

And imo, playing Splatoon with gamepad hasn't been surpassed.

Plus it's the second console where you can play Trauma Team, that alone makes it top ten in my book.

 

[Deleted member 864]

It's really just 3D World, and the Zelda HD games for me that are left.

If those get ported over to the Switch, then I'm probably done with my Wii U.

 

[sleepnaught]

3D World, Wind Waker HD, Virtual Console, Wii backwards compatibility.

 

[asmith906]

What I'm getting from this thread is I should play Xenoblade Chronicles X. I'd play it since I actually own the game but using the wii u is such a pain in the ass. It's so slow.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Warioware: Smooth Moves - it was one of the few games to actually use the asymmetrical screens. My daughters still love Fruit (Thief) and so do I.

VR has potential with these sort of games but few take advantage of it.

 

[Dysun]

Just a few more games and the resounding answer will be no.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

Xenoblade
Pikmin 3
Zelda Remasters
Project Zero 5 (if you're so inclined)
Nintendo Land

 

[Raijinto]

Ironically if you'd have asked me 4 years ago which Wii U games I want to play on a portable system I would've probably said Xenoblade Chronicles X, Super Mario 3D World, Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD and Pikmin 3.

So yeah for me there's still more to come.

 

[Lobster Roll]

The Virtual Console is fantastic. Hold on to your Wii U and a pro controller for a solid little retro machine.

 

[Pineconn]

I'll defend Paper Mario: Color Splash until I die. It's not cut from the first two games' cloth, but it's damn good in its own right.

 

[Paperchampion23]

Super Mario 3D World

That and Pikmin 3 have been rumored to be ported this year by Era insiders already.

So just Xenoblade and the Zelda remake/remaster now.
