I thought I would share a couple of my own thoughts. Then watch some of you tear them apart.
I foresee a Wii U game becoming worth a little bit of money down the road. Video game collecting is of course most of the time comprised of rare games like most other things that people collect, but not necessarily good games. (Does
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial ring a bell?) So what contributes to rare video games other than horrible gameplay with an extra dose of shit that nobody ever wanted to buy? Publishing a game for a system that is at its end of life of course. Now does That ring any bells? That's right, BOTW. Now, I'm not saying you're going to get rich. But if you check out twilight princess for the gamecube, and then the Wii on ebay you might be a little surprised. The Wii version can be had for a little under $20, while the gamecube version is around $45 -$50. So I think I might get BOTW for the Wii U, and the Switch, and leave the Wii U version unopened. Not to make money off of, but to add to my game and console collection.
The other thing that I wanted to bring up is about the joycons having a button just for taking and sharing screenshots. It's on the left joycon, and Nintendo says that a little after launch it will support video capture. maybe i'm wrong here, but I thought it an od use of much coveted real estate space. but it got me thinking. Nintendo is finally taking a big step into the online realm. We all know why they have been so hesitant about real online game play and the whole friend code BS. Their market target is the younger crowd. Sure, we all have a fond place in our hearts for mario, and other characters we grew up playing. A lot of us now have kids of our own, and the thought of our kids playing online with someone sending d*ck picks, or getting even more creative and doing burnouts in the sand in the shape of a d*ck in mario kart. I can't help but wonder if this screenshot/video capture button is there to help moderate these type of problems. I know it's a stretch, but it would justify adding a button for that on a space starved controller.
