Ran across an article about that controversial game Night Trap on the Sega cd and it reminded me of middle school when I got straight A’s (a rarity for me) because my parents said if I did I could get a gaming system so I picked the Sega cd since it was the newest thing. We get to the checkout and my dad sees on the box that it can’t run unless it’s connected to the Genesis. So we got that too. Sega cd flopped and I ended up playing the Genesis until I got a job in high school and got the PS1.
Any of y’all ever have a Sega cd, Neo geo, turbo Grafix, lynx, CD-I, etc?
I've got a Wii U and knew a friend who actually saved up his allowance to buy an N-Gage in 8th grade over the course of a few months. The poor soul.
Wii U lasted 5 years. It limped, but made it to the regular console line. I miss the games made just for it. Zombi U is best on it.
Its ironic that most of the Wii U games that got remade/rereleased on the Switch as noticeable worse and subpar compared to the Wii U due to lacking its major functionality.
Pikmin 3 or Breath of the Wild suck a whole lot on Switch after you've played them on Wii U, which shows that it had considerable potential that nobody ever proved enough to become a major seller.
Oh yeah, the Wii U controller was a major part of the game. It's not as drastic a change as Twilight Princess on GameCube and then Wii though.
Twilight Princess was at least a preference difference. I much preferred the Gamecube because I fucking hate Motion Controls. I don't recall there being any other major difference between the two besides the world being flipped.
Most of the Wii U games I'm thinking of were objectively better on it, sans Breath of the Wild lagging due to some weaker hardware. From being able to skip a shit ton of time menuing, to something like Pikmin where it was designed around it so much that the game is immensely frustrating to play without it.
