Forums - Gaming Discussion - Is the Wii U the worst console of all time?(OP clarification)

Pokemon Mini was a better console than the Wii U? :D

No it's not, it's a great console, but Nintendo should give up on the gamepad the way Microsoft did with kinect.


No 

std controler with touch screen > std controler 

The touch screen actually makes the controler better (think features), how could you not see that, even cars are coming with touch screens as std for all the added potential let alone that phones have added that feature for a long time now, and we wont go back to old phones any time soon


MS just announced today to IGN that they absolutely did not give up on kinect and are going full force with it

What does that even mean? Full force on making games for it? So far kinect games have been nothing but a disappointment. I don't use kinect for anything other than chatting in parties and recording videos with voice commands. It works really well sometimes, and other times it's like it doesn't understand you.

I don't want to derail this thread taling about Kinect though. But I would like to see MS do better with it. 



OP has finally figured out how to alter the thread title, yet doesn't replace the "all time" portion with "since the Xbox launched in 2002"

Also not including Atari a group who effectively created or at least popularized the home console market as a serious manufacturer just shows that the OP really knows the Wii-U isn't the "worst console of all time" Think I've gotten about all the fun I can have from this thread tho, now tis just boring.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

That's great you know? But I find it really disturbing to get the same image I'm watching on my TV in the gamepad, with the sound not matching the TV, and that you can't turn it off to save some battery, since it really sucks (the battery life).

I really like the console and games, but I feel they force you to use the gamepad.

It has the best games of this generation. Worst sales? Yes. Worst console? No way unless you have no actual brain or haven't played any of its games. 

The gamepad allowing offscreen play alone means it is utilized. 


I do hope you know that offscreen play is not a wii u exclusive feature.

check out the vita/ps4 combo.

Or got the second screen enhancement, look at fallout 4.


And here I was thinking you had to pay extra for a vita :P
