What'd be the argument against just buying a WiiU and BotW for that instead?

- ianai 10y agoIt doesn't run as well on the wii u.
- WillPostForFood 10y agoIf you want to play portably, Switch is the only way to do it. Apparently, it plays well on Wii U, but at a lower resolution (720p vs Switch's 900p docked).
- rasz_pl 10y agoIts the exact opposite, it runs better than docked Switch.
- LeoPanthera 10y agoIt's not that simple. The resolution is slightly lower (almost unnoticeably so) but in some areas of the game the frame rate is actually a little better than the Switch. In practice they are practically identical.
- frik 10y agoFunny, wrong myth. It runs just as fine on Wii U. It runs on Switch in TV mode worse, the Wii U and Switch handheld run comparable good.
- cableshaft 10y agoI have it on the Wii U. Link looks pretty aliased, there's obvious slowdown at points, and the screen looks overly blurry with its post processing graphic effects at times (It's actually made my head hurt a few times). I really like my Wii U, but I don't think this is the prettiest game it could be. Honestly I think Wind Waker HD has much cleaner graphics (albeit not as technically good). It is a very fun game, though.
- SunShiranui 10y agoWhy would you buy a Wii U now? It costs basically the same, but it's out of production and won't get any new games.
- NTripleOne 10y agoTIL second hand consoles don't exist and aren't dirt cheap.
- GavinMcG 10y agoThe snark is unnecessary. Of course they exist. Whether they are "dirt cheap" and whether the associated trade-off in quality expectations is worthwhile are entirely legitimate debates. For example, I saw refurbished Wii U consoles for $200 the other day, and I'd be hesitant to spend $100 or $150 on a device with no warranty. But for $200 it's not crazy to think you might as well go for the Switch at $100 more.
- thirdsun 10y agoPrices for used Wii Us are around 200 EUR in my region. I'd say that's not a bargain and makes the idea of a new Switch for an extra 100 bucks way more attractive.
- kgabis 10y agoWiiU has a lot of great games you can play right now and it will take Switch few year before it reaches a similar level in it's life cycle. Also, it's the best console to play Wii games right now (and possibly ever) and there's plenty of games available from Nintendo's older consoles available on eShop. Considering that in few months it will be nearly impossible to buy a new WiiU I'd say it's the perfect moment to buy it.
- jghn 10y ago"WiiU has a lot of great games" Out of curiosity, other than standard Wii games which ones are you including here?
