Any game worth playing on the Switch is also on the WiiU (or PC/PS4/etc.), and there are great WiiU games that will never make it to the Switch. The choice is clear.

Yes. Classics such as Nintendo Land and Wii Party U

Any game worth playing on switch is going to be the definitive version or superior sequel to its Wii U counterpart.

Switch. Wii U's are staying steady around the $150-175 range and I can't recommend it for that price unless you plan on softmodding it

If the joy cons are built into the Switch mini, I would absolutely not buy it.

The Wii U is probably better if you want to catch up on older titles.

Switch will probably be better in the long run but Id wait until BotW 2 and Metroid Prime 4 come out tbh

I think it's more accurate that every Wii U game worth playing is also on the Switch and there are great Switch games that will never make it to the Wii U.

Seemed obvious to me

All of Wii U's best games got moved over to Switch and Wii U obviously isn't getting more support seeing as how it's discontinued

You could benefit from getting both, but right now I'd suggest getting the Switch instead.

This. The only games that are worth playing on Wii U and not the switch are Xenoblade and Wonderful 101. Not only does Switch get Wii U ports, but they get em complete with DLC and all.

Switch and 3DS are the only Nintendo devices worth having imo.

Unless you want to play Wind Waker HD or Twilight Princess HD, I would suggest getting a Switch over the Wii U.

yeah, that's it

I'm struggling to think of Wii U games that are worth playing that haven't been ported to the Switch, there's the two Zelda remasters and Mario 3D World, that's about all I can think of. And Smash 4 and Mario Maker, but the Switch has a sequel to both

There's one benefit to getting the Wii U.

You have a console that can potentially play every Nintendo system up to the Wii U and DS. Switch will never be able to do this.

So if you have the option of both it might be worth considering getting it for the long term.

If you own a Wii and 3DS that changes things though.

VC is the only arguable thing really. Other than Wind Waker, those games are lame.

If you want to talk about things a system is never getting there's plenty to list for the wii U.

Can confirm the Wii U is awesome. Unfortunately its common apps are kinda fucked now so it cant be an entertainment machine like in its heyday. But almost all of its regular games are available digitally so you just need those Nintendo digital points cards.

You will need Wii U pro controllers though.

Wooly World, Super Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3 and The Wonderful 101 are all fantastic games that still haven't had any word of a port. I haven't played Xenoblade Chronicles X or Tokyo Mirage Sessions yet.

Crafted World doesn't grab me anywhere near as much as Wooly World did.

But that's about it. At this point Switch has a better exclusive line up. However you can also add the entire Wii library. Wii and Wii U games are also often on clearance right now and are cheap to get. You've got a pretty good Virtual Console and if you're willing to Homebrew you can play Gamecube games too.

So basically if you're only getting one Nintendo system get the Switch. But buying the Wii U now and taking advantage of getting all of the clearance stock and getting the Switch in 2-3 years isn't a bad idea either. You can even play BOTW on Wii U for now.

Literally all Wii U has that Switch doesnt have now(or a far superior sequel that pretty much invalidates the original) that is worth playing...

Splatoon 2>>>>>Splatoon
Smash Ultimate >>>>> Smash 4
BOTW Switch >>> BOTW Wii U(
MK8DX >>> MK8
Mario Maker 2 >>>>> Mario Maker

Hollow Knight? Not on Wii U

Pikmin 3
Wonderful 101(high chance of this coming to Switch)
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Wind Waker HD
Twilight Princess HD
Super Mario 3D World

...I think that is it pretty much.

I'm not sure how hot a take this is, but I'd say 3D World is easily the worst 3D Mario game to date. Yeah, I like Sunshine more.

Xenoblade X is alright in retrospect. I remember hating it at first because I was comparing it to 1, but after playing 2 I realize it could've been worse.
