Almost no one I know still plays the Wii U. It'll be 15 years old next year. I have played it for twelve years.

Discussion True Exclusives that are worth it?

6 Upvotes

I recently moved to a new place and I don’t have space to bring all of my consoles. I’m 100% a physical games guy so virtual console/subscriptions aren’t my cup of tea but this also means I have to downsize my physical consoles. All this to say, are there any games you can ONLY play on the Wii U that justify having it? I have my Wii for backwards compatibility with GameCube so Wii U’s BC doesn’t really matter and I feel like any Wii U game that was truly worth it has been ported to 3DS or Switch. Not all of these ports are perfect of course but if I’m really itching to play Woolly World I can survive with the 3DS port. The only one I can really think of is Paper Mario Color Splash but other than that I got nothing. What do you folks think??

EDIT: Forgot about my beloved Nintendo Land too :’)

Question best places to buy a new gamepad(or new Wii U entirely) for relatively cheap?

2 Upvotes

my console is working *mostly* fine I think but my problem is that my gamepad is broken limiting a lot of what I would be able to do if not, where can I find a replacement for relatively cheap? ideally I’m looking for something under 100$ but if I really have to spend a bit more I’m not agaisnt it

also side note I’ve considered repairing my gamepad myself but I have next to no idea what’s wrong with it atp, all I know is that it won’t charge or turn on and I’ve tried replacing the battery with a new one but no luck there

Discussion About Wii U Prices

Upvotes

Wii U's have been crazy cheap recently, found a good deal for 80$ but i've got a question; will Wii U prices ever go up? It seems like the Wii U's price is not affected by nostalgia like the 3DS or GameCube.
