    can you play wii u games with the portable version of the switch?

    i honestly know next to nothing about the switch but will still probably buy one at some point cuz i like to get every other iteration of Nintendo consoles and catch up on the cool games

    No backwards compatibility.
    Virtual Console isn't even available yet. And we'll get details at some point.

    So expect nothing but Virtual Boy games.

    Hah!

    jubal did you just poop in your hand

    :)

    Did no one watch Mythbusters? heh.

    I knew exactly what it was and assumed everyone else was knowledgeable and cool enough to know as well. I'm sorry you have to deal with #fakenerds

    um excuse me i can make a poop joke and still know that the thing i'm making a poop joke about isn't actually jubal's own poop

    I didnt polish my own poop chanus. :)

    Poop gets flushed to the depths of the earth where I assume there is a giant tentacle beast that eats it and it also judges whether or not we can keep our genitals in an attempt to not work the slave mall.

    I am super skeptical of Breath of the Wild getting such high scores

    I can think of too many examples of a hyped game dropping, getting perfect scores and raved about as one of the best games ever and then six months later the consensus is actually that it was "okay" or "mostly good, but"

    Granted, my skepticism stems mostly from me trying to find reasons to not drop £300 on a Switch

    It's out on WiiU and it's a launch game, if you've got a WiiU the differences are probably going to be relatively minor.

    Also christ the "just make it the same in pounds/USD" pricing really sucks.

    I don't have a WiiU and they're also nearly £300 still, so

    God Nintendo is just the hecking worst when it comes to depreciation.

    I am excited to get a PS4 because games on it will actually be relatively inexpensive if they're old. Also the system is about £300 for the Pro!

    The Wii U, however, is completely backwards compatible with the Wii

    So even tho the Wii U's at the end of its life and is generally maligned, if you want something that can play the new Zelda plus the entire Wii+Wii U back catalog getting a Wii U might actually be a good option

    It's a barrier between Nintendo's core consumers and the pedophiles who want to chat with them online, I suppose.

    In my life, we / I went:

    NES
    SNES
    N64
    Dreamcast
    Gamecube
    Xbox / Wii
    Xbox 360

    I have not owned consoles since, I suppose. Brother has, mostly down the Xbox and PS lines. He may invest in Nintendo again in the future if they have the more kid-friendly titles, though as an only child sitting inside and playing video games during his formative years is probably not the best plan for my nephew :P

    He can go to his friends' houses and do that!

    Splatoon has a surprisingly good single player campaign but it's short. the meat of the game is the online multiplayer

    It's literally the most annoying way to friend someone. Try adding a person using a game function outside of friend codes and you might as well light your dick on fire.
