Hot take: People who say "HOT TAKE: WII U > SWITCH" are either nostalgia blinded or had to hack their Wii U to make it actually good

The Switch has no personality, it's gimmick is basic and could work ANYWHERE, and it's eshop is laggy and barren. The wii u actually has a vibe, it's gimmick is a good idea that actually feels unique, and it's eshop was full of personality and was easy to use.
The switch has a better library... and a lot of it is wii u games ported. Would you rather play Pikmin 3 or 3 Deluxe? Pikmin 3 Wii U's Charge mechanic didn't make every enemy encounter ”press X to win” Cuz you could get punished for spamming it?
I made my Wii U Menu into a switch to fit in :p I like the wii u because its FREE online
To add onto this, the Wii U has Virtual Console, near perfect backwards compat with the GameCube (unofficially) and Wii, a functioning web browser for most stuff, a comfortable first party controller as well as the online support being better than the next gen.
I love the wii u more than anyone else and I agree
i like not being charged to play online
Replies proving my point that people have to mod their Wii Us to even compete with a Switch, also the emulation quality with most virtual console games objectively sucked, and the online services were only free because Nintendo wasn't earning much money at the time
