Wii U is the next 3DO

[Somnia]

We decided the true damp squib was the Xbox One. There was the Kinect 2.0 fiasco before it was even launched and the amount of exclusive games was absolutely pathetic. Rare Replay is like the only worthwhile one. I guess it did have some backwards compatibility with some Xbox and Xbox 360 games and I really like the controller. But, uh, yeah. Biggest waste of a console I've ever bought.

The Xbox served me well as a game pass machine from 2017 till 2021 or so and I'll always appreciate it for that. Definitely a questionable piece of hardware otherwise though lol

Oh! I'd forgotten about Game Pass. That was a super good deal and a great use of the Xbone. I ended up abandoning it for my PC when all the new games on Game Pass became PC compatible though. x)

the problem with this analogy is that the 3DO had a good nfs game while the wii u didnt
take that the "church of wii-u-ology"

You can get a used Wii U for 85 dollars shipped on EBay. If one were looking at a cheap machine for emulation, he/she could do a lot worse.

They play Gamecube natively, emulate DS well, run Retroarch, and I love the gamepad screen size. Some maybe don't know that the gamepad is compatible with the Wiimote. Placing it on a stand and using it as a monitor for Wii games is salvation for that blurry catalog.

Underrated hardware that to me is one of the better Nintendo products, albeit ill-fated.

Is like there is no point to the wii u aside from specific mods for some games (smash bros and zelda botw for example)

I really wanted a wii u for MH3U but now the servers are dead. And unofficials servers are probably gonna work on CEMU soo... what was the point of the wii u again?

Those 3u servers are up for the 3ds version ^^

No fucking way, fr? If I launch my copy of 4U I can play with someone?

As long as you can find someone to play with yes. I do not know how active since the barrier to entry is a lot higher now than it was with nintendo servers, but people do play even the 4g and 3g servers are up. Generations and double cross I am unsure of though. For 3u and 4u you can even get dlc, but you have to set your dns to 34.75.107.68 (same for the ps2 titles and subject to change) to play and grab dlc. That is assuming you have a modded 3ds device with pretendo. I think it just works on Citra (Citra mmj for mobile), but I could be wrong

Oh, for the DLC I just download using GhostShop, it has DLCs and Updates in it.
