Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Nintendo Wii U Console - 32GB Black Deluxe Set: Explore Ultimate Gaming Experience by Paul Varnado

Revainrating 5 out of 5

There's a good reason for that

Ah, Wii U. How underrated you are. I know most people will say Wii U is dead, you should get a Switch. Although we will go into more detail on this a little later. First, let's talk about the console itself. The Wii U is Nintendo's first HD console. So if you're the type that needs this HD, you've finally got it here; (although I've never been particularly bothered by the graphics quality in games). The Wii U also supports traditional composite output. Whether you have an HDTV or an older one, this console will run on it. It even works on a DVD player with Compssite connectors or on a laptop or PC via a capture card. The system hosts a large number of games. While I would argue that Nintendo is still more expensive compared to other consoles (e.g. PS3), there is a good reason for this when it comes to IR gaming. Most of their games are top notch. Aside from the quality of the games, you have a huge number of games to play because not only do you have Wii U games to play, you also have the e-shop that has many Virtual Console games N64 . , NES, SNES, GBA, DS and several Wii variants (which can be cheaper than buying original Wii discs). There are also indie games if you like it. What's more, the Wii is built into it, so you can play all your Wii games on it from disc via the Wii Menu. Which of course opens up even more possibilities. The best part is that you can view all Wii games on both the controller and the TV, which allows you to play ANY Wii game on the controller only when the TV is off, if you wish, even in split screen and with the controller on have its own touchpad (which essentially turns it into a pseudo switch). Although I'm hearing a lot of you now: that's all good, but we already know about this, and why buy this when we can get a switch? Now, while admittedly many Wii U games have been ported to the Switch and it's POSSIBLE that the Wii U's FREE online multiplayer features COULD be disabled, there aren't many Wii U online games that are supported online, as is, and the console is still a good buy depending on what you're looking for. Even if the free online multiplayer game and (unlikely) the Wii UE Shop drop all support if the console dies, I'd still say it's worth buying. Not only can you (currently) get most Switch games on the Wii U (because they're ports of the Wii U), there are some Wii U-only experiences that you won't get on the Switch . In addition, many games support playing off the TV so you can play on the controller itself, games that support two players without the need for split screen, Mario Maker and Splatoon can be played even when Nintendo is shut down. all supports down; (Although Splatoon will be limited to the single-player campaign, amiibo challenges, and battle dojo, and Mario Mario will be limited to creating levels yourself or playing built-in levels, the beat will still be fun.) Like everyone else Wii game lets you watch YouTube, Crunchyroll and surf the web; Overall, the system isn't as bad as everyone says, and it's cheaper than the Switch, with even more of a retro feel than the Switch has had before. For people who say getting a Switch is better than a Wii U, for the price of a Switch ($300) I got this Wii U console from Revain Warehouse, a power adapter for it and lots of games, while I would have gotten a Switch instead, I would only have 1 game, and that assumes I would have an additional $60 on top of the original $300. While this console may be "dead" as many say, the same can be said for the Playstation 2, Sega Genesis and Nintendo 64, but you don't see people hitting these like they do with the Wii U, or? The Wii U is a fantastic console despite being a marketing flop and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an all-in-one local multiplayer console with a large games library.
