    @LucasNewton 2 года назад +1426

    The color red being pixelated is due to the way that video is sent to the GamePad. It uses H.264 video compression, which, among the many other things that it does, gives color only a quarter of the resolution to color information compared to brightness.
    This means that even though the screen is 854x480 pixels, the resolution for color is only 427x240. Normally this isn't that noticeable, but every once in a while you'll see strange blockiness where two very different colors intersect.

Thankfully a few years later I came across a Windwaker Wii U complete for 30 bucks at a local Goodwill and found out the digital games are tied to the console. Thankfully Nintendo isn't too quick on social engineering and I was able to get them to remove the parental locks that were on the console over the phone, so now I have a pile of Wii U games I didn't even need to pay for.

      @@josjos-x5s Um, I don't tend to defend Nintendo, but let's look at this from a company perspective. If your console failed the whole generation, wouldn't you blame how you advertised it, including the packaging and style? Nintendo definitely is full of themselves currently, but it isn't them advertising there product properly that's making them a shell of their former selves. The Wii U had just as big of a gimmick they pushed just as hard and it still was their downfall because they didn't advertise it properly, of course they would make it so the Switch is as easy to understand in the advertising as possible. Nintendo is a shell of their former selves because they don't bundle games, charge full price, and sre generally anti-consumer, not because they know how to learn from mistakes.

      @@firstmategiddy I wouldn't really call the wii u's gimmick something on par with the switches. The switch itself was basically a great improvement on what the wii u wanted to be and it fixed its general kinks.
      The console was the problem itself.
      I agree marketing it as another wii doesn't help but a lot of the identity developed from the wii can still be carried on, like the miis.
      Its just the fact they stripped away something as simple as the miis and even how they implemented a paid subscription for Internet, it was just reverting something good going for nintendo

    I feel so validated and giddy that for the only "special edition" WiiU console I purchased, Scott (arguably one of the most prominent and passionate gamers/authority figures on the standard of everything considered gaming on the whole RUclips platform), practically acknowledged it as a wise investment and essentially the best version to have on display and as a collector's item. I have no regrets for not heeding my Mom's advice back in the day that I should have disposed of it along with a couple other unique nintendo console boxes that contained my personal copies of the respective consoles.

Got the wind waker one with the gold etching on it. ive been buying for it a lot recently, and its interesting that this was the console that opened the M rated games floodgates a little bit more. Decided to upgrade my gamepad battery to one double the size, which i didnt even know could be switched out! Broke down and modded it too cause I wanted to play a lot of DS games on the TV which the Wii U is perfect for.

    I'm not a big Wii U fan, as every game I like on it is available on the Wii or the Switch, but I saw a Wind Waker Wii U on the Goodwill auction site and had to have it. Didn't even bid, just paid what the buy now price was. It came with almost everything (and what it didn't come with we already had at home), came with a copy of Smash Brothers U, and not only looks fantastic and works perfectly but also had games installed already. I might only use it to play Minish Cap (and only if I don't feel like pulling out my Advance or DS to play my original Minish Cap) but it looks great on my shelf and matches my Zelda 3DS beautifully!

    Greetings from the UK! As someone who is also slightly worryingly obsessed with the Wii U, this is so cool to see others interested in it too. I've got 3 right now (2 PAL + 1 JPN). One interesting fact I've just realised about the Mario Maker console is the exclusive amiibo was swapped between regions. In Europe, we could buy the modern colours easy enough, but it was the classic colouration that was exclusive to the bundles at launch. I always find differences between regions to be really cool to explore.

    I always thought the Wii U was the best way to play Wii games if you don't have an SD TV, although playing on the gamepad is cool. But, for me, nothing beats a Wii hooked up to a CRT with component so far. The games just look so crisp; the only better option I've seen for my taste would be through an emulator or higher end up-scaler. That being said having the space for a CRT in your home where it doesn't clash with the home is not really as likely today, but I'm very happy with my little dedicated retro space.
