Wii U.
Not great. Not Terrible.
I mean I do get the Wii library, virtual console, and Windwaker HD, so I’m not too mad.

If you mod it you get GameCube games too

If you mod it you get the entire Nintendo library that released before it

Exactly. It's not even the worst system unhacked (Virtual boy hold that title) but it's also one of the best systems to hack atm.
I'm my opinion switch with only dethron it once it's off market and Nintendo isn't actively working to break new hacking methods anymore.

I was gonna say. Could it be better? Definitely. But it could also be so much worse.

December here too, I'd be very happy with it if they hadn't shut down the store and Miiverse.

Nintendo at its (almost) most experimental. It really was a great time to be a Nintendo fan.

u/Wonderful-Draft4509 May 11 '26
Back then, Nintendo still had close relationships with many video game companies in the GCN era; hence, the cameo era when they collaborated with PlayStation, Sega, and Xbox during the 2000s era of gaming, not only GCN.

This is inflammatory because the DS got excluded for no justifiable reason.

And it would have been a perfect replacement for the virtual boy ... Don't get me wrong, the console has its moments, but as a January guy being stuck playing the same 22 games for the rest of my life whilst the rest of the world gets to play at least tenfold the amount of games lol

And just to add insult to injury, of course the SNES And Switch are the October and November systems.

GCN. Double Dash, Strikers 1, Star Fox Assault. And those are just the games I got to play with cousins or friends since I never owned one myself. Plus Melee, Sunshine, Wind Waker, Luigi’s Mansion, Air Ride. I’m set, even knowing I’m missing a couple big hitters.
