The Wii U. It literally can play most of Nintendo's entire game library, everything except the 3DS and Switch.
New poll question!!! DVD Gamecube??? (You know, the one that supported dvd videos that never sold out)

The Wii U. Thanks to Nintendont, RetroArch, and VC game injects, it literally can play most of Nintendo's entire game library, everything except the 3DS and Switch.
Should've sold better

As someone who invested $300 into Nintendo's Wii U, without the console ever getting an official pricedrop, I can't help but feel like they're slapping every Nintendo loyalist in the face by porting all these Wii U games to the Switch, instead of making prequels, sequels, and new games. If I had known the Switch was just going to be a Wii U port machine, I would have thought twice about getting one. The Switch's first-party support kinda sucks as a result of all these ports. Instead of Pikmin 4, we get... Pikmin 3 Deluxe... a game nobody asked for... Thanks Nintendo. And the fact that all the third-party devs made bold promises not to abandon the console like they did the Wii, really upset me once they started dropping like flies, all over again. Props to Ubisoft for sticking that one out...

I own a wii u and I think the deluxe games are a good idea. Lots of people never got a chance to play these amazing games. Also I had the rare white Wii U that no one else had

Yeah, that one sold like shit because nobody wanted to use an SD card for all their game storage, LOL. And I wouldn't hold my breath for Mario Kart 9, it's obvious they're going to keep that shit on the mobile market now. We have 2 Mario Kart games on the Switch already, and I doubt they'll add a third, as much as I want MK9 to come.

I will never play Nintendo's mobile games, unless they bring some kind of Splatoon.. I've already sunken about $60 into Pokemon GO, and I hate myself for it.

Lots of consoles by the big N that either sold poor or was received as poor. What's your favorite (Like this comment)
figured I'd tell you that the dvd gamecube is called the Panasonic Q. The Panasonic Q is a hybrid version of the GameCube with a DVD player manufactured by Panasonic in cooperation with Nintendo. The system was officially released only in Japan.

    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
