RIP Wii U

I'm sad, I really wanted a Wii U (my gf wanted it, too - and she's not into games) but was holding out until they got cheap after the release of the Switch. Now it seems that 250 quid is the best it'll ever be, and frankly that's a rip-off. Never mind!

 

I kinda regret selling my Wii U. Hopefully Smash will get ported to Switch. Only big thing that Mario Kart 8 for Switch will probably be improved load times. I passed on the wind waker and twilight ports as I already played those. I was disappointed to hear that Star Fox didn't turn out well since I had been waiting for so long for a new entry in the series.

It was nice Wind Waker got a 2nd chance cause it really was a solid Game Cube game when it came to gameplay. I think if the Wii U would of had a much better processor it would've had a better chance.

Despite this I caved and already have a switched pre ordered and paid. I want to play Breath of The Wild and strangely I'm excited to play a new Bomberman.

 

They added actual Battle Mode maps and tweaked that mode some.

 

Lego Jurassic World (with Dr. Wu minifigure)
was just available at target US, in europe we didn't get a SE.

I haven't seen a Wii U in stores for MONTHS I think Nintendo is trying to pretend it never existed. A shame because I planned on buying one at the end of the generation.

 

Just looked at Ebay prices and it's pretty sad that I can buy a used PS4 or Xbox One cheaper than a used dead console. Still going for over 200+ dollars, ridiculous.

 

Shouldn't the price go down after the switch launch though? I can imagine tons of people seeking theirs in stores to buy the Wii U. I basically wanted one for DK anyways.
