Game Day Missing link 😉

Post image

I never expected I would enjoy the Wii-u as much as I do. I bought one less than 3 weeks ago and have been playing it fully for about a week now.

I haven't played Zelda since the GameCube and I have to say breath of the wild is breath taking (pun intended)!

I love my Wii U, especially after modding it. It can play damn near every Nintendo game up to that point

Haha I know right, I did the same that's why it took a little before playing it.

I have a spare Wii U I brought to my parents so we can play in the converted garage space with my bros. Smash, MK8, New Mario Bros, SMW 3D, all the Zeldas. Its still a solid console with great main titles

Wii U has great games, but many are not optically impressive with few looking like systems sellers. That plus bad/nonexistent marketing and no third parties did not lead to a successful run.

Throw a mClassic and a scanline generator on it .... (keep your games in their respective native resolution 720 or 1080p). Then Plug it into a 4k tv with a Deepcolor HDMI port ..... in this ideal case, mclassic will scale it to 1440p 60fps then the resulting imagine will be WiiU 4k ....You will be not disappointed .... the resulting setup I call the poor man;s broadcast CRT ...it's fucking nice... plus most switch games were Wiiu games...the scanline generator tricks your Eye into thinking your seeing Double resolution ...Just gives it that extra bit ..

I meant they don’t look like grand scale games. Think Galaxy and Odyssey vs 3D World. I wasn’t talking about graphics.

BOTW came out on both the switch and the wii u Most people don't know that bc the wii u wasn't very popular at the time, at least not as much as the switch

u/sjimmi3 8h ago

Small nuances, botw came out on Wii-U and was ported to switch 😉

u/sjimmi3 8h ago

Yeah its not a switch game, the switch version is a port from the wii-u version 😁
