It was worth it when Mario kart 8 came out 3 years ago.

I would say no, if you have a PC just play it on cemu.

Not everyone's PC can run cemu well though, not all games work as they should, and for a lot of people it's just too much of a hassle.

this

Like Turbografx16,Dreamcast,Saturn and Vita. It may not have as many games as the competition but it still has plenty of fun games. I own 33 physical games alone for it. If you are interested to own just half that you probably got more than your moneys worth.

How much does it cost? If it's around $100 - yes. If more - no way. Just buy the Switch, you've got a better version of the Zelda and I honestly believe (and hope ) that all important Wii U games will be ported to the Switch. I hope Ninty turns it into the ultimate Nintendo platform allowing us to enjoy all the N goodness from GCN/Wii era though VC + upgraded ports of Wii U games on top of new games. There are millions of gamers who skipped Wii U but would buy its best games on the new platform - I'm one of them.

Yes, it does. In fact it worth since Mario Kart 8

No. It's out of production and most games, consoles, and accessories are no longer in retail channels. This means only resellers will have it and prices getting jacked up because "rare, oos, collector,hard to find, etc"

Took 20 years for people to go nuts over NES, SNES, etc. Now days a Wii U game can be out of stock at a store and be 3x MSRP in less than 24 hours of release (see Devils Third incident).

I'd say Zelda should be experienced only on the Switch. The Wii U version is inferior, and won't get the same updates.

The Switch will also most likely have a more robust Virtual Console.

Although Wii U I found was worth it for XCX, which is more of a legitimate Xeno____ game than XC2 on Switch will be. XC2 on Switch overall looks like they are genericizing and catering toward the "yay yay animu!" crowd, rather than people looking for a compelling RPG.

Wii U was the worst console I bought in my life. No exclusive Zelda, no exclusive Mario Kart, lots of platformers nobody wanted, trash hardware, the gamepad was useless and zero third-party support. Now that the Switch is out there is zero reason to buy a Wii U.
