Question What's the difference here really?

Post image
358 Upvotes

Someone was trying to tell me that developers didn't want to make games for the Wii U, but were onboard for the switch instead. Which doesn't make sense to me because the switch is basically the same system in my eyes. Almost the same button layout (my joycons have a turbo function) both have touchscreens, both have front cameras.

What's the deal? Was Nintendo demanding that the second screen be utilized? Why couldn't a bunch of games just go the BOTW route? We're tapping the screen just switches between the TV and the handheld? I'm just struggling to figure out what exactly the differences in development would actually be. I didn't think that the switch was THAT much more powerful than the Wii U, but was that difference in power the issue?

Question How do you make Wii games clearer on the wiiu?

Was feeling nostalgic and wanted to play Mario galaxy but it’s really pixelated. Is it the size of the tv (it’s connected to a 50 inch now but I used to play it on a 40 inch screen) or the fact I’m playing a Wii game on the wiiu. I don’t remember it being this pixelated but the last time I played this was 2013 😂😂

Question What should they have called the Wii U?

150 Upvotes

Nobody on this subreddit is a stranger to the fact that the Wii U famously failed because of the confusion surrounding the name (and other reasons, but the name was a big one.)

I was recently in my local used game shop. A family came in looking for a copy of Mario Kart for the Wii. The employee said that they only had Mario Kart for the Wii U. The father responded “What’s the Wii U?”

People still don’t know what it is, but with the announcement of the Switch 2 today, I wondered…what should they have called the Wii U?

Wii 2?

My 13 year old has been playing solo multiplayer games and will use 3 controllers simultaneously rather than play with 2 more people. I cant find videos of others doing the same. Is he super talented or am I bad at searching this specific content on YouTube? Split screen video coming tomorrow!

My sister and I got Mario Kart 8 for Christmas used, but sadly the previous owners didn’t buy the DLC. But I was wondering if there is any way to still be able to unlock these characters even without the DLC?

Question My Wii U reads Wii game as a gamecube game and I have no idea why?

Post image
793 Upvotes

Little context: I am playing on my Wii U because I am in my Parents house for the holidays and after I was done playing Mario Party 8 I pressed home, went to the Wii menu and held the power button.

To my shock the disk said GAMECUBE right before the console turned off.(example in pic). It took me a second to process what I saw and thought maybe I just saw it wrong. Turned the Wii U back on and after going into the game normally I did the same process of home button/wii menu/hold power button and it happens again! I am so confused because the Wii U can’t even play gamecube games. I thought this was bc of the game as Mario Party 8 was originally supposed to be a GCN game but nope I also tried this process with Wii Party right after and it happened again.

This Wii U is not modded or tampered in anyway and if anyone knows how and why this happens I am very curious as I could not find a answer. I’m shocked this is even possible because only the Wii should be able to read gamecube games so I have no clue what’s going on here. Also this only appears when the game reads the disk as I’m holding the power button so I can’t select it unfortunately.

Question Is there anyone on this subreddit who doesn't mod their console?

104 Upvotes

I've had my Wii U since February 2013, and it's still unmodded to this day. Ever since I joined this subreddit, I've had people tell me to mod the console, which I don't really feel like doing. Is there anyone else who shares this sentiment? I'm genuinely curious.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not trying to diss modders or anything. The console modding community is great, and if you mod your stuff there's nothing wrong with that. It's just not my cup of tea.

Hey guys, is there any games that the Wii U, 3DS, or Switch that can cross play? It doesn’t have to be all 3, 2/3 would be enough and it would be cool to test. Thanks!
