I Bought A Wii U In 2021...Here's Why

The Wii U has pretty much been forgotten about after the massive success of the Switch along with many of the big Wii U titles being ported over, however due to several things around the system it looks like it's shaping up to be a solid collectors item over the next couple of years.

While the Wii U was a failure, it wasn’t a bad console. I love the damn thing.

I love how often John references other video game focused channels, it gives a really nice feeling of a community on this platform.

I feel like Nintendo never gave the console much credit. Not to mention, my touchscreen is a pain to work😩

I got one a few months ago almost still new on Craigslist for $100, homebrewed it, put 128gb as card and a usb hard drive and loaded it with tons of games and I absolutely love it

I bought it at the end of 2019 for the ability to play Gamecube, Wii and WiiU games "natively" on one dedicated console with 1080p HDMI output. The ease of software modding made the whole thing even more enticing. I got a refurbished unit from Gamestop and it cost me 130€ for the 32GB premium version with Mario Kart 8. It looks brand new, no scratches or worn out buttons anywhere. I have it set up with a 512GB SD card for GB and Wii games and some emulators and then a 1TB 3.5" HDD with my WiiU game collection.

I still use my Wii U because...Windwaker HD and actually owning the VC games not renting with online.

The Wii U is one of the most underrated systems ever.

My 3 year old niece thought she was being very helpful when she washed my Wii U handheld in the kitchen sink.

Funny you posted this video in 2021, I ended up buying a Wii U couple weeks back and the only issue it had was an issue with the left analog stick and what's really cool about the Wii U is the ease of replacing the thumbstick mechanism. bought a couple on amazon and replaced it. 2 screws and a connection holding it in place. Nice video!

Man, you can play Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker and Breath of the Wild in one console. That, s pretty cool.

You don't get the full Wii U experience until your siblings start changing the channels while you're watching TV through the TV button on the gamepad

I love the Wii U!! I bought it not long after it came out and it still currently hooked up and I play to this day. I have a switch as well but the Wii U still gets plenty of action lol. I'm currently playing Devil's Third again. Man what an awesome underrated console!!
