The Wii U has officially ended production. Kind of sad, but it had to happen eventually seeing that the Switch will be out in March.


The Wii U might not have been Nintendo's best console, but it did have some great games. Sadly the games didn't come soon enough and the third party support didn't last.

Still, I've had lots of fun with my Wii U with games like Super Mario 3D World, Super Smash Bros (4), Splatoon, Mario Maker, Mario Kart 8, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse; not to mention all of the virtual console games! Earthbound, Mother 1, Shantae, Super Mario RPG (still need to beat it), Golden Sun, Yoshi's Island, etc. Heck, there are some virtual console games I'm still tempted to buy. I'm also tempted to pick up Paper Mario Color Splash and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE despite the controversies behind the two. I've also been meaning to pick up Yoshi's Woolly World but I might get the 3DS version instead (but Wii U has multiplayer ;_; does the 3DS one??). Also Pokken, but idk if I'll get it. |D


Overall I feel like the Wii U was misunderstood. It had a decent run overall but I'm hoping the Switch will do much better. If anything, the first year looks like it will be good!

(note: this chart is fan made since Nintendo's official chart leaves out a lot of games. I should also note that not every game on this chart is confirmed for the west. Chart source: www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitc… )


I'm not sure when I'll get a Switch, but there's a lot of games on this chart that I want to play! I'd be interested in getting I Am Setsuna since I'm always up for JRPGs. Bomberman looks fun too! The new IP Snipperclips looks really cute and fun too. Puyo Puyo Tetris looks fun too, I mean competitive games are always fun. XD I'm curious to see what else they'll show for ARMS (especially since there will be more characters and I love it when games have cool character rosters). I've never played Disgaea before but after playing Fire Emblem Fates I've gotten a taste for strategy RPGs. Splatoon 2 looks great!! But where is Callie? Super Mario Odessey looks like a lot of fun!

Can't forget Yooka-Laylee! Sad that the Wii U version was canned but maybe changing development to the Switch was for the best. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 looks fun, although the faces look a little weird to me??? Dragon Quest 11 and Heroes look great (although I'll probably get 11 on 3DS because I love the 3DS :XD: ). Octopath Traveler is made by the Bravely Default team so it could be good. Also the mystery Pokemon project that was vaguely confirmed should be good, whatever it is.

If only the pro controllers weren't so expense. ;_; They're like $70. Also why does online have to be paid now? What if games have DLC? Does that mean that we'd have to pay for online just to download DLC? Will we have to pay for online to access a store (audrey plz the answer is probably yes). fasdfasdf This all costs so much money |D When will I even have time for all these games? idk. Will I have money for it all? rip...

idk I wanted to ramble about video games again. XD


Anyways I found this journal skin and knew I had to use it at least once

What killed the Wii U was the marketing and Nintendo was at fault for it.
