Your first WiiU game was Breath of the Wild?

A bit late to the party, right?

Absolutely. I had a choice.

Buy a WiiU for Breath of the Wild.
Buy a Switch for Breath of the Wild.

I bought the WiiU because it was $100 AUD on clearance sale and Breath of the Wild was $70 brand new.
The Switch at the time was $470 and Breath of the Wild was $90.

Keep in mind I had skipped Nintendo's Home consoles during the Gamecube and Wii era due to a lack of games that enticed me.

I don't regret my decision, eventually backfilled my WiiU Library with every Australian release, my WiiU+Game library is worth more now, than what I originally paid for it.
The WiiU was a great machine at the end of it's life if you were just jumping into it and easily the cheapest way to play Breath of the Wild, but would have sucked if you got it on launch day.

Despite all the good games, Wii U is still my least favourite Nintendo console. I really dislike the gamepad so I used the pro controller for most games, but still, least fav. I had more fun on the Wii as my first Ninty home console.

Switch is by far the best device Nintendo has released imo, I refused to play botw on Wii U I wanted the better experience on the switch.
