I used to have a Game Cube and a Wii. Perhaps I should have purchased a Wii U if I had known that it would be their last home system ever... Still hoping it's not their last home system, while they are clearly moving towards this hybrid philosophy, nobody, not even Nintendo can tell for sure what they will do 5 or 10 years from now.

I own all three so the only games I play on Nintendo consoles are Nintendo exclusives and when it comes to those, I only play the biggest ones which means, there's not many games I end up buying.

Mainline Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Mario Kart... that's about it. I'm not a big fan of their AA games like Yoshi, Kirby and DKC etc, at least the modern versions. The stuff back in the NES and SNES days was better. I loved DKC on SNES and own all three. But the modern stuff all feels watered down and soulless.

So, yeah, not many games for me.

Me. Don't care for serialized games

Because in relation to what video games were back in those days and what they are today, they were not as underpowered as the Switch is.

Also people change, my demands now are not what they were 10 years ago. 10 years ago gaming happened on TV's whose definition ranged from low def (480i) to high def (1080p) and my Wii while on the low end was still outputting within that range. Today the norm is between 1080p and 4K and a game like Zelda is NOT in that norm, it outputs at 900p if I remember correctly with a lot of aliasing.

I totally get that the Switch is doing great considering it's mostly a portable system but like I said previously I don't have to suffer the limitations of a portable system when a dedicated home system could have done the job and like I said people change, 10 years ago I was not thinking in terms of dedicated home systems, now I am.

Just don't have that much interest in their games for the most part. Certainly not enough to buy a console for.

Mainline Pokemon game, Mario Odyssey and maybe Donkey Kong Country. Everything else....nah not really.

Hm, I actually feel as though the Wii was more underpowered for it's time than the Switch is. When it comes to the Wii, proper cables are a major necessity if you want to play it on a modern TV. I bought the Wii on launch day, and I had a fairly new HDTV at the time, and with the default cables that came with the box, it made everything look gross on my TV. In fact, I actually had no idea that better cables existed for several years, so I always thought that that was just the way games looked on the system.

The Wii has some awesome games, but in my opinion it's by far the worst console Nintendo has ever made.

Thanks, man. That's so encouraging. I think I'm going to make this into a running series. Each week I'll pick a new console.
