A look at a Wii U | Ashens

Ойын-сауық

Give us a Wii! Give us a U! What have we got? A monstrous cliché in the description of a KZread video!
Time to cast an eye over Nintendo's offering and spit out some brief thoughts about a few of the games on offer. Why not, eh?
Also... I'm not a big Mario fan but I wish I had the Wii U version. Bah.

    I like my Wii U. For your usual Mario games, it's great and its Call of Duty community is fairly lively. It's not ground-breaking, but it's a decent console. All it needs is more games. One thing I will say though is that the pro controller is absolutely fantastic. I've used the wiimote, the Wii U gamepad, the Playstation 3 controller and the Xbox 360 controller, but the pro controller is by far the most comfortable. If Nintendo did anything right with this console, it was the pro controller.

    People say the Wii U is bad. I say, the Xbox One and PS4 games are going to being released on PC through Steam anyway. The Wii U has actual exclusives that will probably never go on another console. Games on the Xbox One that are worth playing: ...? Not really any, since they are either ports from Xbox 360 or PS3, or just another damn CoD sequel that 12 year olds are raving about. Not only that, but the Xbox One and PS4 have no backwards compatibility! Meaning, you can't use your old games that you had before. The Wii U has backwards compatibility with older Wii games, and the homebrew developers are working on a GameCube disc loader in the Wii U's Wii mode. All of the games on the Xbox One and PS4 are basically third-party developed games, with no strong launch titles. Sure, Assassin's Creed Unity is good, but it's on Steam, possibly getting a Steam Winter Sale treatment of a cheaper price. Also, if you want another damn CoD sequel, it's also on Steam. Most (if not all) of the non-first party games on Xbox One or PS4 are already on PC. CoD: Advanced Warfare? PC. Assassin's Creed Unity? PC. The games that are worth playing are on PC through Steam. The Wii U has actual exclusives that aren't complete shit.

    Hah. I doubt that "XBOX ONE AND PS4 ARE BETTER DERP." Issue is: PC is more powerful than Xbox One and PS4. The Wii U has actual exclusives. Nintendo Land, New Super Mario Bros. U, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, etc, that will NEVER reach PC or other platforms. Getting a PC and a Wii U is what I've done, as PC is for playing exclusives, Xbox One, and PS4 games, whereas my Wii U is for playing older Wii games in HD and it's own exclusives. PC will, at some point, undercut the Xbox One and PS4 in price.

    Funny because this is the best console on the fucking market. Wow. For me at least anyway. Consoles are turning into PCs and eventually consoles are going to die. Nintendo is the only one shying away from that, making new innovations and sseeexy consoles. Anyway.. The Wii U has the most exclusives and best exclusives and it's quite hard to deny that. Everything a PS4 and Xbox One can do a PC can do better. Except Kinect probably but that's shite anyway. Nintendo is going the right direction with this in my opinion, I can't wait to see their next consoles and handhelds. And don't give me the shit that PCs are too expensive. If you save up your fucking money I guarantee you will have enough and if you're a kid getting stuff for christmas and birthdays just get money instead, easy. Bai.

    Wii U is actually better than it was back in 2012, whole lot of nice games to buy on virtual console, and a whole lot more games to play. It's pretty fast now too. Though, internet is a pain in the ass to get around christmas. When I first got mine in 2013, I didn't know that and I just permanently put it down until mk8 came around and I actually got the internet to work on it. But yeah, framerate is better, loading is faster, etc. Review is a bit dated now. The only thing that I think is a bit sucky about it is my connection with my gamepad to the wii u, disconnects itself from the wii u, but I guess it's cause I sit a bit far from my wii u.

Why is this fun, you ask?? Cuz it means that anything that can emit infrared light can be used as a sensor bar. Got a candle handy??! Boom! Stone age wireless sensor bar!!! 🤯🤯

They do/did make aftermarket sensor bars with much stronger IR LEDs, that were meant to work better in sunlight, but even those didn't really fix it. It was honestly a pretty poor design, on an already underpowered console. I wish Nintendo would get back to producing top tier offerings again, but it will probably never happen

    Nintendo still has shitty prices on their online store. I have no idea why and it really irks me when some games are eShop only.

    I got a Wii U a few days ago as a birthday present. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is. I'm not a console gamer and stick to PC but I have always loved Mario, DK and Zelda so in turn I usually get whatever Nintendo has released. The loading times isn't as long as Ashens makes out or at least it isn't slow to me. The games are nice, I asked for a Wii U mainly because of Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, EarthBound (virtual console) and Zelda: Wind Waker. I feel like the Wii U is a very underrated console, I love it and have spent 2 days non-stop playing games since I've bought it. It was definitely worth the cost and recommend buying it.

    I was waiting for you to go to an Ashens video. That would be more meta than Meta Ridley.
