Switch owners, did you have a Wii U/3DS?

[AHYL88]

I got both Wii U and 3DS, both pretty late into their lifecycle.

The Wii U was a fluke in that a store in the UK called Argos was doing it at a good bundle and discount back in May 2015; it was £180 for the Legend of Zelda: Windwaker HD special edition console and bundled game, with a £20 voucher, a Wii game in Metroid Other M and two Wii U games in FIFA 13 and Mario & Sonic: 2014 Olympic Winter Games. Those three free games I just sold off after playing them a little while to reduce the cost further. Never regretted the purchase as it was the gaming fix I needed and reignited my passion, after having moved away from gaming for a few years at the time. Uni studies, socialising and all that.

The 3DS I bought in November 2016 for the New version which was a Happy Home Designer edition as it was pretty well priced again and I was willing to have a crack at Fire Emblem for the first time as the games were getting reduced. Oddly, I only played Fire Emblem and Pokemon on it! I got it mainly to tide me over until the Switch came out and I was missing playing Pokemon after being hooked on Go and not touched another Pokemon game since Diamond.

I've enjoyed the games they both offered, even if it was limited; they were greatly flawed consoles for sure but I had a lot of fun with what I played on them and helped me to broaden my favoured genres outside of racers and platformers.
