![]() I want to share a few games I feel really benefited from the use of the gamepad while playing on the TV-these experience can’t quite be replicated on the Switch! It feels a little cheap and wonky, but it was amazing when utilized properly! A second screen with touch functionality to use while still playing the “main game” on TV opened up a lot possibilities (that sadly often went underutilized). Let’s get this out of the way: the Wii U gamepad definitely seems like a kids’ toy compared to the Nintendo Switch. I’ll always keep and cherish my Wii U console because of this memory!

(I had largely been on a classic game/ 3DS kick the past few years). ![]() What could possibly make it so special when the Switch has seemingly done everything so much better? This is my Wii U Retrospective on why I’ll always cherish the system despite its flaws. No one had even heard of it! With the majority of Wii U titles now ported over to the Switch in (at least seemingly) superior “definitive editions”, it seems even Nintendo is trying to forget the system ever existed!īut those of us who owned a Wii U with its bulky Gamepad will always remember it fondly!
