      The Switch plays cartridges, but the Wii U plays discs, which is probably why the Switch doesn't play Wii U games. Nintendo releasing ports of Wii U games on the Switch is easier than them adding a disc drive to the Switch to play Wii U games. A disc drive would have ruined the Switch's portable feature. Nintendo could allow you to access the Wii U's library via Switch online, but adding Wii U games to the Switch online would be a lot harder than NES and SNES games because they take up more space. (There's a reason that N64 and later games haven't been added yet.)

    • @MudkipNerd

    Commercial failure or not, the Wii U is the superior Nintendo home console because the Wii U does not rely on friend codes like the DS, 3DS, Wii and Switch does. The Wii U is backwards-compatible with Wii and Wii U games and Wii and Wii U accessories. The Wii U plays online for free, meaning you don't need pre-paid Nintendo Network cards in order to play online for a month or a year. Like the PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PS Vita, you can easily add friends to your Wii U's friend list without relying on friend codes. My favorite games for the Wii U are Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

    @zachfernandez92 6 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    The Wii U didn't fail. It had 5 years. Every system from Nintendo lasted 5 years. The only legit system that ever failed is the Virtual Boy. It might have not sold as much as Nintendo's older consoles, but it had 5 years. N64 1996 to 2001, GameCube 2001 to Wii 2006, and Wii U 2012 to Switch 2017. I am 25 and have been a gamer since the N64, PS1 and the GameBoy Color. And I can say without a doubt, that the Wii U is my all time favorite Console. I don't understand the hate for the console. It has great games. It still has great exclusive games left that are thankfully NOT ported. I hate having ports on my Switch. The games that are still exclusive are The Wonderful 101, Nintendo Land, Pikmin 3, Paper Mario Color Splash (underrated game), Splatoon, Super Smash Bros. Wii U (It is NOT getting ported thankfully), Yoshi's Woolly World (Not including any 3DS ports), Super Mario Maker, Star Fox Zero (another great game), Kirby's Rainbow Course, Wii Party U, Mario & Sonic at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games, Mario and Sonic at the Rio Olympic games Pokemon Rumble U, Super Mario 3D World, New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, Wind Waker HD and finally Twilight HD. I probably forgot something.

    You know though Wii U helped Nintendo learn a lot of lessons for the Switch. The communication and marketing for Switch from the beginning has been on point. They also learned to make sure they had killer apps near launch. Still I had fun with Wii U but honestly I really knew a few people who had Wii U versus a bunch of people owning Switch.

    Yeah come to think of it, I didn't get a Wii U on launch day either. I waited an entire year until 3D World came out. Then again I didn't get the original Wii either until 2009 when New Super Mario Bros. Wii came out, but I was really young back then.
    In fact, the Switch is the first home-console I got day one (but Breath of the Wild did justify it).

U, Super Mario 3D World, Mario Party 10 and I could go on and on. The selection for the virtual console was great and still is! It was the first Nintendo console to support HD and I praise it for that. I think the Wii U is an amazing console with tons of games for everybody

I think it is a masterpiece tbh, one of my most favourite consoles ever. It had great games which are getting ported to the Nintendo Switch, that’s how you know they are great. I love the Wii U. I like the Nintendo Switch better but I still love the Wii U.

The 3DS is older, and it gets still its games. WHY NINTENDO WHY DOES THE WII U STOP!? I like the 3DS though, same with Wii U. I don't know about the Switch, because I don't have a Switch.

  • @starallykirby5734
    @starallykirby5734 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I think the answer is clear, what do all successful Nintendo consoles have. Easy, Kirby games. Think about it the least selling Nintendo consoles were the Virtual Boy, GameCube, and the Wii U, and what do they all have in common, they don’t have any main line Kirby games. Only spinoffs are present, but there was no new main line titles unlike successful systems like Switch, Wii, DS, and 3DS.
