The wii u is basically just as 'powerful' as a switch.

@@drunkensailor112 not really most wiiu ports up the resolution or frame rate (or neither in the case of pikmin 3)

dude nintendo land was genuinely some of the most fun ive ever had in video games. just goofy great mini games youj can just spoend hours laughing around wiht friends

That's exactly why they're not mentioned: they only would work with the WiiU Gamepad

@israel Yes, my whole family enjoys the variety of all the games and how they each take advantage of the pad in different and fun ways. I was waiting for a full Shinobi / throwing star game to branch off from that demo.. and damn sad that it didn’t. :/

star fox zero too such an awesome game

Nintendo Land stunk. Nintendo can make shallow mini-games for any console. They already did for the Switch, it's called 1-2-Switch.

I love xenoblade 2, one of my best games of all time, 3 isn't bad but 2 is still tall above it. I really disliked the first xenoblade. X has good characters and music but its story ends up falling flat, mainly because so many things about the world are left unanswered and the things that do get revealed end up being boring. X needs a remaster, new content added and existing content tweaked to make it something I would buy. The first xenoblade however I hated the characters, I hated the world, and honestly I did not care for the story either.

Xenoblade X is why I learned how to get that blasted CEMU emulator working ; P I have it waiting right now! I just gotta finish my Xenoblade Chronicles playthrough first. I can't wait. I really hope they port it to switch because I would love to pay for it :P

Would be expensive to port over to the switch according to them as well as time consuming and it probably takes away from whatever they're working on.

@@MaNameizJeff You're the first person I've ever seen bash Xenoblade 1 and say Xenoblade 2 is their favorite, I think there might be a chemical disruption in your brain

@@crazykenbei right now they are probably doing 2 things, Xenoblade 3 expansion and Zelda 2. It would be a big project. I just don't think it should only be considered for switch 2, I think switch 1 is more than enough and it would allow for a bigger pool of buyers.

It's also the only version of DX:HR Director's Cut with a proper level of polish. The PC/X360/PS3 versions were rushed and based on an earlier, more buggy build of the game. Even to this day those 3 versions have a bunch of screwed up stuff like blurry textures or random crashes.

Zombi U also had great Gamepad integration :)

Never could finish the game because my Wii-U Gamepad starting getting really bad drifting....really bummed out about it

lol Character models look 100 times better in 3 than X

About Xenoblade X, it is a game that was made thinking about using the Wii U hardware to the fullest with specific techniques for this console, it even runs with a higher resolution than Xenoblade 2 and 3 (and I dare say that it has more beautiful visuals than these games ) it makes me curious if it would run well in handheld mode on the Switch if ported.

The only reason for this opinion is because it is very clearly much higher resolution than the switch xenoblade games. Run Xenoblade switch or the sequel or 3 through 4k in an emulator and suddenly they look vastly superior.

​@@ParadoxalDream Did you not read their comment?

And superior (than og system) emulation on pc if course.

AFAIK the current hack to jailbreak the WiiU requires the use of an eShop title like BrainAge (Funny enough when you sorry but top selling, BrainAge is at the top). So if you don't buy and download before the 27th it will be impossible to pirate on genuine hardware until a new exploit is found.

@@Rob_Enhoud That hasn't been a thing for atleast a year now. It's as easy as putting files on an sd card and using the web browser nowadays.

its not piracy but abandonware when you cant buy it digital legally anymore

One of the things I don’t understand with switch online legacy games from a long term standpoint. When you put so much hours into a game like an rpg and then one or maybe 2 Nintendo console generations later and then they pull the plug on it. What happens to your save? If it’s in the system or in the cloud it’s useless because the game from the service is gone.

I'd love to see that on the oled model.

2024

They're gonna shadow-drop them at some point is what I think, MP Remastered style.

@@Christopher-md7tf I hope so, we need them

Just get a Steam Deck and emulate the superior GameCube version.

+1 and I’d recommend getting Splatoon physical. I found one for $12 used. They are still charging $60 for digital on eshop

I had a blast playing through ZombiU and I don’t care who knows. It has what’s easily my favorite implementation of the Game Pad, and just isn’t as much fun on other consoles.

I bought the WiiU bundle with that game! That gave me serious anxieties, but in a good way haha!

This is my thoughts exactly. Opening your backpack is an experience that cannot be replicated

The multiplayer in that game was seriously underrated as well. Having the gamepad player direct zombies a la a top down strategy game while the TV player shoots them in regular first person shooter mode was a genius multiplayer concept, something we probably won't see again.

​@@Beaut_Beau where exactly did i say i only ever played it using the gamepad? i have played through it on steam multiple times. it's really bizarre how you felt the need to not only incorrectly read the comment but still try to hit me with some kind of "gotcha" for no reason whatsoever

Looks worse than the original though

@@Im_Behind_YouI’m sorry, are you drunk?

@@JONOFTHEJONS Are you high?

its not a very good game lol

​@@kamikazilucas fantastic game, unquestionably one of the best of its generation.

Star Fox Zero is underrated.

@@Noname15514 Star Fox was a struggle to play and Nintendo made a mistake allowing Platinum to develop it. Visually, I appreciate them staying faithful to Star Fox 64, but good grief was it a struggle to play. If only they allowed players to turn off the motion controls. I gave the game to my nieces after I put 15 hours into it and they hated it as well. I’m glad it has some fans out there.

@@ThePhenomf4 It wasn't a struggle after you adjust to the muscle memory.

@@Noname15514 I finished the game and then went back to improve some runs. I put enough hours to get the muscle memory but it wasn’t a joy to play. I love motion controls and this is the only instance that I would’ve turned it off if I had the chance.

Metal Gear Solid 4 would be amazing on current Gen, because no load times

I've recently got back into playing PS3 and the PSN store basically has dick all for games as it is. If you want something like 3D Dot Game Heroes you can only get a physical copy of it, there exists no digital version. And a physical version usually goes for 100+ Canadian, luckily just scored a copy for $60. This goes for A LOT of games on that generation. I can only recommend going out now and picking up games such as MGS4 for $5 instead of a few months or a year when I feel it will shoot up in price 10 fold with this video game boom.

@@danshimandle1938 It's insane to me that such a quality game is stranded on ps3. Rdr should also get a remaster on current gen or at least ported to pc.

The problem with ps3 and PSP is not every game got a digital version. It wasn't till the vita era that they started making digital copies for every physical. So a video like that could be more tricky.

as of now . Ps Vita games on 'Sale' I can only see using the PS4 shop - I can't see them from the PS3, or the PS5, or the actual Vita! Nintendo and Sony sure do have some weird way of selling titles.

Wonderfull 101 too

I played so much Mario Maker I was so excited for MM2 but then I got it and played for like maybe 5 hours and was then bored. Idk why, but MM2 just isn’t as much fun. I think the Wii U community was better cuz MM had lots of experimental levels being made, and MM2 are either children making basic levels or Kaizo levels that only top tier players can make it past the beginning.

Yea Rayman: Legends is Awesome on Wii U :)

ZombiU was also superior for the same reasons

@@papm222 that is a multiplat

Rayman Legacy or Legends?

@@Cosmycal arghh, how could I get that wrong? I’ve played through it so many times!

Good luck playing hard copy of Redfall or Gran Turismo 7 after the servers are down. Unfortunately damage have already been done. Lot's of game started to require online connectivity even in the single player mode. Such a shame.

@@hododod246 indeed 🥺

@@ooiiooiiooii indeed, I got heart broken when I realised this was the case with to name a few, Halo Infite and call of duty modern warfare 2

Maybe it will let's to download updates even if you have disc version. It makes sense even after eshop closure you can redownload games you bought

ik people who call the wiiu the xenoblade x machine

I have been waiting for both zelda games ever since the switch came out. Absolutely ridiculous. Not buying a Wii U just to play them😠

@@cokeacolazzz Wii u emulation exists

@@Z-Mikes00 and it's by an large the best way to play Wii U games, at least the ones that don't need the gamepad for anything which is most of them. XBCX especially is much better. 60 FPS patch, higher resolutions and patches that make the substantial amount of online only content available to be played offline.

@@Z-Mikes00 of course. Would like to have a switch copy anyways

Not too sure about that...the Gamepad would have been mainly used for the map and as huge and detailed as it is, I don't know if such a small screen would have been much better.

@@Ray_2112 I used it for games like Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. It would’ve been fine.

CEMU is the best way to play BotW too, with many options to enhance the graphics. Render distances for various objects, better shadows, framerate & resolution. Then ReShade with RTGI for the ultimate experience.

@@Holammer nice, I was wondering if Cemu would be better than Yuzu for BOTW, assuming the frame rate holds up better, and more mature mods

@@happyraptor06 It is better, yes. I tried both as well as Ryujinx and Cemu is generally more stable and plays the game near flawlessly. Also as you said the mods and tweaks (like having indestructible weapons) are more mature and easier to implement. The downside is that after experiencing BOTW in 4K60 going back to sub 1080p30 for TOTK is not an option. I hope it'll work well on Yuzu and Ryujinx.

​@Chrys TotK will honestly probably be sub-720p30. There's no way that game is going to run even as well as BotW on the Switch. I trust Yuzu and/or Ryujinx to run it decently well, though, given how well they've been able to run recent games.

Can you get the gamepad to connect to Cemu? If so, that'd be huge. Otherwise, WWHD would in fact be a worse experience IMO, compared to native.

Yeah I did this for my wife, while she loves playing Paper Mario, Yoshi's Wolly World, and Super Mario Wii U, at 1080P and super sharp textures which her Switch doesn't have it only makes her madder at the fact that after all these years NINTENDO has refused to do Remasters of their biggest selling games from Wii/Wii U, but don't mind remastering mediocre games.

Absolutely. And since we don't work for Nintendo, that's what should count only...I never got why so less people bought a Wii U, I never regretted buying mine and still play it here and there, also the many Virtual Console games.

Agreed. I make it a point to buy physical media whenever possible.

I used to think so too but nowadays with many games coming out broken and/or incomplete, it almost doesn't even matter as you are stuck with digital patches anyway.

@@PushStart_YT That's the main caveat. That's why I only buy games that are finished. In the batch of bad there is still good. You really have to research the games and check patch notes to make sure those are included on disc. Usually GOTY editions are complete and don't require updates. Unless you are CDProjektRed.

Gamers need to really push each other to buy more physical games. It makes everything better for everyone.

@@NateFord I shall always advocate!!

thats why its great to support emulators!

nintendo moves at nintendo speed.

Of course they mostly suck since you don't have a GamePad, but you prolly bought a 2DS to play 3DS games too.

3 player

Aside from some blocky geometry, it actually did get the same treatment. The HD version looks way better than the original and is very sharp...it's just the old geometry that makes it still look older.

I hope they wait for the next Nintendo console, i want a real upgrade and better implementation of the "online" mode of that game

@@picolete yeah I’d love to freely roam the entire game in co-op!

Didn’t Monoloth Soft say that the Xenoblade series is over?

@@anonymoushuman8443 no they said the Klaus saga is over not xenoblade the series

ASA is incredible, especially if you have friends to play with

I have more than 100 hours on that game, never fully mastered the combat

Likewise. Often I was looking at the scenery and listening music which was played at the time. OST was great in that game.

For what's is worth my wii u bricked less than 2 month from purchase. Had to ship it to a nintendo certified repair site

Isn't that mostly a problem if you don't have it plugged in for a long time? You can also mod it to backup the NAND. It'd be funny if modded consoles are the only ones that survive over time.

​@@leonro My WiiU is actually modded and I made a backup of the NAND. That being its not certain that only consoles that are unplugged for long period of time are affected by this issue. The main problem is that any kind of Flash storage needs to refreshed over time, flash storage saves data in its cells through an electric charge and powered on and or read cycles to it might not be good enough. Write Cycles intrudes higher voltages to the flash cells that could result in a higher data retention time. edit: And before anyone misunderstands what i'm talking about, write cycles of course degrade flash memory over time, there is a finite number of times you can write to flash and it also will degrade the maximum data retention over time, that being said its defiantly possible to increase the overall storage time if a flash storage is overwritten some times with a backup. Just don't do it to often this is by the way true for every flash based storage. While this is specific about the WiiU I urge everyone that might have important data on an SD card, a USB stick or similar device to check it and make at least a backup to a separate storage device.

@@smartfox2295 I don't know anything about modding and this is the first time hearing about the NAND issue (have no idea what that is). What kind of mod would I need to do to keep my Wii U safe?

its not that great

Never thought I’d see a comment about Excite Truck but I’m all for it and you get my upvote!

IMO there's still nothing more fun than playing a round of Nintendoland when you have people over. With Mario Kart or Smash, there's a big barrier to game mechanics and the like, but Nintendoland keeps it simple with its minigames and there's a lot of variation. I'm sad that Nintendo never truly bothered to make a true couch co-op minigame collection for the switch similar to it.

saying “all these years later” after “during the pandemic” just makes me feel so old. lol

The Zelda games aren't easy ports - theyre old and written for power pc language - porting those games to switch is a big project requiring millions of dollars

They have said they're very protective over ports to prevent devaluing a marquee IP. Wind Waker HD iirc was just a technical test to practice HD development

@@sEaNoYeAh They do ports all of time, especially to the Switch.

It definitely still has that old Nintendo charm. Something changed after the WiiU imo.

once the servers go off look into Pretendo to get some custom servers

switch has barly games compared to wii u. most switch games are literally wii u games like Zelda breath of the wild and mario kart 8

If they had only put in 2 more gb of RAM and never offered a version without an HDD it could have been so much better.

You’ve just described every single corporation unfortunately. All they care about is their bottom lines.

Chronicles X has a Switch remaster actually.

@@raresmacovei8382 … not sure what you are thinking of, but no it does not. Switch has Chronicles 1, 2, Torna, and 3. No X remaster as of yet

@@raresmacovei8382 Incorrect. Xenoblade Chronicles X *DOES NOT* have a Switch version.

F-Zero has been dead for twenty years, so, while I personally would like it if they reanimated it, it's really not that weird that it's missing from the Switch. Also, the last few Star Fox games didn't sell all that well and Nintendo clearly has no idea what to do with the franchise, so no big surprise there, either.

In a 2018 interview, Tetsuya Takahashi said he wanted to bring Xenoblade X to the Switch, but money was an issue, and that it would be difficult to reconfigure it for the handheld. Elma did appear in recent promotional artwork though, so never say never. The game does run well on the Steam Deck under CEMU though, aside from the UI text being difficult to read.

Your probably right, but if they ever do I will pick it up without a moments hesitation lol. I loved that game and do still own it on my Wii u

It will, they want to do it but one of the reasons they haven’t other than budget and manpower is because they want to add more story and change some things up. So depending on their plans for the sequel, they would want those plans to be set in stone first before any changes in the remaster.

Development nightmare? If you mean the shift from only singel-player to added multiplayer, that wouldn't be an issue when porting the game. Monolith Soft's excuse has been money and that was back during 2018 shortly after Xenoblade 2 came out. That excuse no longer works after Xenoblade 2, DE and 3 all selling over 1.5 million. The silent excuse is more likely Nintendo telling them to focus on doing sequels to the original game.

Regarding zelda, I just hope they don't go the nintendo online route of just using emulation for ww and TP, because it means they won't bother using the updated versions of the games like what they did with ocarina of time and majora mask which were from the n64 versions instead of the 3ds versions.

​@@OskarXCI that or they forced to help on other nintendo games like it been said monolith has been working on tears of the kingdom
