I've been a Nintendo fan since we got an N64 for xmas in 1997. Ever since then I've bought every Nintendo console during its life span with the 1 exception of the Wii U. It simply did not interest me and just looked like another Wii with an admittedly cool gamepad but that didn't do enough to make me spend the money on it.

Sounds pretty negative on the Wii U so far but I've actually grown to love the system now. I did eventually buy one in 2017 (after I had a Switch) and I have had it hooked up in my living room as my 2nd main console ever since. The reason I bought it is because all the ports that had come over to NS (and many others that were going to move) were much cheaper on the Wii U as well as the fact it had a few key exclusives. Quite simply it's one of the best local multiplayer systems ever. Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros 4, Nintendoland, Runbow, Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3, Yoshis Woolly World and of course access to play all Wii games in HD are really cool aspects to the console.
