Is Anyone Still Regularly Playing Their Wii U?
- Thread starter PS9
- Start date
I only bought one recently. Smash bros, star Fox zero, and a few virtual console titles I never beat. Canvas Curse. Earthbound Beginnings. I've been ignoring my switch as my niece is using it for Splatoon 2 and I don't feel like playing it cause joycons drift.
No but I did recently go back for Star Fox Zero as there aren't any satisfactory replacements for it
Not me. Enjoying my Switch way more plus all the games I owned on the Wii U are also on the Switch.
Pikmin 3 on the go or my living room >>> Pikmin 3 in my living room only.

Not regularly, but I still have my WiiU hooked up in case I in the mood for a Wii, WiiU or VC game. I have used it a few times this year.
Occasionally Mario Kart 8 with some friends. There's always a decent number of people still online.
I had let a friend borrow mine for a long while and just recently got it back. I'm setting up a new apartment so I haven't played any video games (trying to get a Wiimote controlling a TV/streaming focused Windows 10 profile atm) but it's gonna be my Mario Kart 8/BotW/XCX/Metroid Prime/Star Fox/Bayonetta/Wii Fit/emulation/VC machine.
My Wii U literally has every Mario console release besides Sunshine and Odyssey, and every Zelda console release as well as Minish Cap.

I played sin and punishment 2 not too long ago. Also I didnt double dip with the Switch so a lot of stuff for me is still locked to that console.
Not regularly, no.
But I do keep it plugged in and recently fired up Mario Galaxy 2 on there because I felt like playing it.
Plus it has my precious Metroid Prime Trilogy on it, which I'm sure I will revisit in the near future.

No, I'm pretty much done with its library nowadays. If I didn't have a Wii hooked up to a CRT, however, things would be different for sure.
Can't say I play it regularly. But some months ago I got through ALttP on the Virtual Console. Might pick up Minish Cap sometime.
Netflix machine + I'm planning to dive back into Xenoblade X next year.
It's also basically my Wii so whenever I go back into a backlog obscurity for that (looking to grab DK Jungle Beat finally ...), It'll get some use.
It's still in regular use. I still miss its features in new stuff. So much potential left on the floor :/

Yea, I generally haven't bought most of the ports to Switch. So I continue to enjoy them on Wii U.
i use it sometimes for GC/Wii modded games each month and had about 3 pretty intense months in a Xenoblade X replay about 6 months ago and maxing out my original file before online services are in danger.
as long as there's GC and Wii games i want to play, it will still see an use (works for me better than using the original machines of those 2)

It's still set up but I've not used it since playing the last Shovel Knight DLC back in December 2019
I'll probably try and mod it one day, though if I ever manage to find a Series S in stock it will be relegated from the main TV to the spare bedroom TV

At least one session a month, sometimes weekly if I get hooked on something. Was playing a lot of Watch Dogs back in October.
Before building my PC it was my main way of playing Gamecube, Wii and the handful of Wii U games that aren't on Switch yet, but I've got Dolphin and Cemu for most of those now. I still use it for the occasional bit of Splatoon and Black Ops 2 online though, as well as needing it for the handful of Wii games that don't map their motion controls well to the Steam Controller but otherwise it's rarely turned on.
My Wii U was exiled to storage a few months after I got my Switch. I can just emulate any of my Wii U games on pc if I want to play them.
Not regularly, but I still play it from time to time, as it basically replaced my Wii, and I'd sooner just use my GC for GC games.
The Wii itself is the one I don't play, except for RE4 to use the GC controller and play on a CRT.

I'd probably still have my Wii U hooked up, but I don't have very many HDMI ports to work with. Between the PS4, the Roku, and the Switch, I'm just about full up. As some others have said, I mainly emulate the Wii U now. I put something like 280 hours in to Breath of the Wild on my Wii U, and another 30-40 hours in an emulator. I also play Mario Kart 8 (offline) and I started replaying Bayonetta 2 on the emulator not that long ago.
