I'll buy Animal Crossing on the 20th, but I'm gonna wait until DOOM is on Steam sale to buy it.

Re: March 20th 2020
Every once in a while, a meme is good. I wish I cared about more than one aspect of Animal Crossing, that aspect being Isabelle. Who is cute and good. If Doom so much as hints at the idea that she's dead, I don't think I'll be able to buy the game.
Perhaps one day I will own a Nintendo system. Will WiiU ever be any cheaper than it is now? $100 feels like so much, but I need Bayonetta 2 and Breath of the Wild and Mario Galaxy, the latter because apparently it's The Mario Game that Is Slightly Sad.
this has been your update on what ragnar thinks of everything, see you every hour on the hour for another one.

Re: March 20th 2020
Most likely never. Nintendo didn't manufacture too many of them since sales flopped so hard and the combination of the system and the GamePad restricts supply even further (if one breaks, the other's virtually useless). If you're dead-set on a Wii U, get one now.
As always, refurbished systems direct from Nintendo are a good buy. You can't get a refurbished Wii U, but you can get a refurbished Switch for just $260. https://store.nintendo.com/nintendo-switch/systems.html

This conversation feels familiar. I have a suspicion someone already told me this and then I forgot because it isn't what I wanted to hear. How did the WiiU flop, anyway? I wasn't aware that a Nintendo product could sell poorly.

The way they marketed/branded it made it look like an add-on, the casual consumer didn't realize it wasn't the new 32x

Re: March 20th 2020
It was a bit of poor third-party support, as the GamePad required actual consideration on the part of developers for maximum usefulness (vs. being able to port between systems with a fairly standard control setup, as the PS4 and Xbone have), and some dreadful marketing by Nintendo. The name and the way the console was shown made a lot of consumers think the Wii U was the GamePad and was just an accessory to the Wii.

Re: March 20th 2020
The cheapest option that'll get your foot in the door is the Nintendo Switch Lite, a handheld-only revision of the Switch that costs only $200. It cannot be docked and is smaller than the original Switch, but if you think you'd play it primarily in handheld mode then maybe that's a plus for you. As yet no refurbished systems are available, but it only came out six months ago, so a refurbished supply may show up in time.
You might think that Nintendo releasing a Switch revision would put a bunch of used original Switches on the market. Thing is, Switches made before July 2018 have an unpatchable vulnerability in their boot ROM and are thus a hacker's paradise, so they've snapped up most of the used systems available.

Re: March 20th 2020
I got my Wii U (32GB) in a decent condition and 3 games (Pokkén, Wind Waker, Assassin's Creed 3) for 140€.
In my opinion it came too late and most developers were aiming for better hardware at that time.
Being so low spec-ed was too much of a hindrance in comparison to the benefits.
Effectively power-wise it's a XBox360 with more RAM.
The Switch has a huge audience because it's a decently adequate system combined with portability in mind.
Wii U's second screen wasn't beneficial enough outside of some gimmicky mini games and inventory management in bigger games (Zombi-U, Wind Waker...). And when it was used the implementation was lacking (Star fox zero) or when it was good the potential audience wasn't aware enough of the game (Wonderful 101).
Also many Wii U games received 3Ds ports like Donkey Kong had a thing to do.
A cascade of bad marketing, poor communication, lacking utilization of the gimmick in an effective way, and aging and hindering hardware broke is neck.

Re: March 20th 2020
Most good WiiU games were released (or had an improvement) for Switch. Mario Kart 8, yoshi's wooly world (3DS, actually), breath of the Wild, tropical freeze, mario maker, splatoon, smash, captain toad, bayonetta 2, pokken tournament, nsmb U, Tokyo mirage sessions
You only miss like 3d world and maybe that's it if you skip the wii u

Re: March 20th 2020
I've heard that The Wonderful 101 was good, but I never played it, so I can't speak from experience. Also, Platinum Games just finished a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign to bring it forward to the Switch and other platforms.

Re: March 20th 2020
The Wonderful 101 is literally one of my favorite games of all time, and I'm absolutely double dipping on a Switch port. It also sold basically nothing, partly because nobody bought the Wii U and partly because it's an outwardly unappealing game if you don't know Platinum Games' legacy and gameplay style. Platinum is in a fair bit better shape nowadays, though, and it'll be coming to platforms people actually own and would want it on, so I'm hopeful for its success.

Re: March 20th 2020
thanks mods, i wanted it to be just a meme thread but i guess because it's video game related, because some folks did a tangent to discuss the wii u, and Octavia decided to call it out, it got banished from the shitposting forum that i intended it to be a part of
cool
thanks

Re: March 20th 2020
I don't think you have anything to worry about. Pretty sure there's been no sign of any actual in-game crossover; it's just a meme. The brand Twitter accounts referencing it is pretty much the extent of any official status.
Even if they sneak in an easter egg with some DLC I am 100% positive they would not, like, redo the end of the original Doom with Isabelle instead of Daisy, or anything like that.

Re: March 20th 2020
yeah this meme is just a fun meme that was born out of the fact that both games release on the same day. And it lead to a wholesome meme of how while they couldn't be any further from each other as games, they're both valid and funBigdog wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 1:18 amI don't think you have anything to worry about.

the most official recognition of the meme was like, the official Doom twitter account replying to Nintendo's Animal Crossing Direct announcement with something along the lines of "will Isabelle be there?"
and yeah, the odds of something actually happening are very slim to non-existent
