Will_VIIII 02/06/22 7:58:29 PM #13:	Just leave the switch docked. But I'd recommend a Wii-U over a Wii since it has backwards compatibility with Wii games.

Flauros 02/06/22 8:26:57 PM #25:	Switch is a good bet. If you are trying to do more retro games, GCN games go for inflated prices these days. WIIU doesnt really have many good exclusives either. Like, Xenoblade X and thats about it. Everything else has a modern port. Wii had some decent exclusives, but the prices on them are starting to rise as well. some good ones to look for are Pandoras Tower, Ju-on, Fragile Dreams. --- https://i.imgur.com/EX6Md7k.gif https://i.imgur.com/ygAzHKB.mp4 https://i.imgur.com/c84omp7.gif https://i.imgur.com/Hj9RrC6.mp4 <cite>Flauros posted [p:962423982] in I've never...
