Forums - Nintendo Discussion - ... And the Wii U is Retro! Best Games?

I'm still reluctant to call the Wii/PS3/360 retro. Certainly wouldn't consider the Wii U to be retro.

I use the term as loosely as I'm able. My channel is called Retro Tech Select and I dearly love my Wii U. To be fair, people have been calling it last-gen since it released. By that logic, it's now squarely in the PS360 era (which I definitely consider retro at this point).



Retro Tech Select - My Youtube channel. Covers throwback consumer electronics with a focus on "vid'ya games."

The Wii U is as retro as the 3DS.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I wouldn't consider the Wii U retro.. I wouldn't really say N64/PS2/Xbox is retro either :/

But favourite Wii U games
- Zelda BotW
- 3D World
- The Wind Waker HD
- Xenoblade X
- Splatoon
- Smash 4
- MK8

What's a Wii U..? It's an expansion to the Wii, right?

Best games on the system for me are:

-Pikmin 3
-Bayonetta 2
-Super Smash Bros
-Splatoon

Everything else notable on the system I either haven't played yet, or they didn't do anything for me.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

The Wii U is retro? Well that's a first. The Switch is just over a month old, and the Wii U is retro now? Hey everyone, remember that really old retro movie called The Avengers featuring Robert Downey Jr? That was a good one, just like all the other retro movies like John Wick. Okay everyone, I am done with the internet for the day. Peace!



Zelda BotW
Zelda TP
Zelda WW
MK8
Smash
Bayonetta 2
.... wait (MK8 = MK8D - Battlemode) and (Zelda BotW WiiU = Zelda BotW Switch).
So two of these games are literally still the best sellers this year! Not "retro", still very current.



Definitely not Retro. I still see it for sale here.
