Getting the WiiU version for CEMU. 60fps 4K here we go.

 

[Rav3n90]

I will, Switch at launch is simply not worth it, especially given the third party support it will likely get

 

[Tawney Bomb]

I'll be getting the Wii U version. Can't justify the $300 until it gets a bigger library.

 

[schopaia]

I'm thinking both - US Wii U version and Japan Switch version in the fall when I get a switch for Mario.

 

[Prevolition]

Getting for Wii U. Unfortunately Switch looks like Nintendo's biggest blunder.

Getting the WiiU version for CEMU. 60fps 4K here we go.

People keep saying this but aren't there like only a few games that you can currently even complete on CEMU? Isn't it still fairly buggy? Just curious what makes people think BOTW is going to be playable on it in any satisfying state.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

I'm getting it for Wii U. Don't plan on getting a Switch this year. I'll see where Nintendo is at in 2018.

The game is not technically impressive (it's artistically impressive) so getting the Switch version for the subtle improvement doesn't really mean much.

 

[KingBroly]

Eh...I might.

I got TP on GameCube.

So...still possible.

 

[Persona7]

I plan to play Zelda on launch day.

I do not plan on buying a switch until a massive price drop and the library improves. So it follows that I will purchase Zelda on the Wii U.

 

[QuantumZebra]

Considering I may never get a Switch, I don't have any other option.

.

 

[Phazon_Chaos]

I'll be getting it on Wii U, since I have no plans to get a Switch until a price drop, or maybe once Mario and Xenoblade are out.

It's still fairly buggy but there's been a lot of legwork in the last few weeks on titles that weren't running. Currently on 1.7.0 but here's a compat list updated through the previous big release 1.6. It's progressing fast, so im sure the top values will begin to shift by the time March arrives. I may not be playing BotW in 4K on day 1, but i'll happily wait a couple of weeks.

[Mr. F]

Is the Wii U version simultaneously launching on March 3rd?

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Not seeing a $400 worth of difference here, sadly.

Besides the Wii U pic will be fixed in CEMU.

Does not compute.

Well that's encouraging, thanks for the info!

Well, you're not paying $400 just for Zelda, surely, but a whole lineup of games

Or, you shouldn't be!

 

[Projectjustice]

I bet NIntendo will release the Wii U version during the Holiday season. lol

For me its Switch all the way.

 

[CanUKlehead]

I would be, until Mario in December (don't care about any of the other announced games so far, or be willing to pay their prices for them).

 

[Hackworth]

Maybe. Idk, I already own a Wii U, and BotW was the game I bought the console for...

With probably more reports like this one, I think it's a no brainer to get the Wii U version, not getting a console for keeping to pay online, since internet is kinda expensive here anyway.
EDIT: Unless the Switch online features, includes a internet connection that is.

 

[lunchtoast]

Bought a Wii U when Xenoblade came out and after playing that and mario it has sat there unplayed. Don't want to spend 300 on an overpriced system right now so I'll be good with Wii U version.

 

[afternoon delight]

Me!

Man, I actually would love it if the Wii U version turned out to be a better experience. Even more reason to skip the switch this year.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

I would if I had a Wii U.

Hell, if change heart on Switch and Wii U's get affordable instead of more expensive, I might just end up in that boat. I suspect Wii U owners who don't immediately upgrade to Switch probably will too.

 

[Fantastical]

60 fps? No.

Interesting. I probably made the right choice

 

[Madame M]

I will buy the Wii U version, I'll probably even buy it new because I don't have to boycott Nintendo any more since it releases on the same day as the Switch

Damn son, this would be so funny if true.

Getting the WiiU version for CEMU. 60fps 4K here we go.

Are people really expecting this? I know that CEMU has been progressing nicely but do we expect Zelda to be smooth and jank free on launch day? Not to mention being able to decrypt the disk?

 

[LoveCake]

Will be the WiiU version for me, it's £40 here in the UK and the Switch version is £59.99 plus the console.

 

[Jayne]

But when they drop the price of the Switch to $200 during the holidays, then I'm saving money by waiting.

Totally, you are absolutely right. Honestly if you have a Wii U already the smart thing to do is wait for the Switch to have games you want before buying (preferably at a discount).

I just don't get the logic of people throwing around "$360 to play Zelda" as if no other games will ever come out if you are an early adopter. Seems short sighted.

 

[Mifec]

There's nothing to decrypt, the WiiU has been blown wide open for some time, hell you can install homebrew on the newest firmwire without issue.

jesus god

The Wii U version has a better framerate?

 

[UrbanRats]

They didn't do a good job at assuring you you'd have such a great line up, and after Wii and WiiU, that can't really be just assumed anymore.

 

[Bowl0l]

Me. The WiiU finally get a new Zelda.

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

There's nothing to decrypt, the WiiU has been blown wide open for some time, hell you can install homebrew on the newest firmwire without issue.

Right, I forgot about that. I have a spare wii U so I'll probably give Cemu a try when BOTW is out.

 

[Jayne]

I dunno about that. Mario, FE warriors, Xeno 2, the next SMT game.. I feel pretty assured that the library will turn out to be pretty great.

 

[MUnited83]

Probably won't be very playable on launch day but I'm sure it will be running very well in a couple of months after release, I can wait.

 

[UrbanRats]

Mario and Xeno were the only two things they showed something of, of those.
The others could be literal YEARS down the road, SMT in particular could be Death Stranding levels of "away".

 

[Wireframe]

Me as I won't be picking up a switch till Mario Odyssey.

 

[O Canada Our Home and Native Land]

Me. Buy it, finish it, sell it. Maybe pick up the switch release down the road.

Haha, are there actually more reports like this one? Holy shit. Where's the Switch Defense Force?

Well, yeah, I guess I made the right choice canceling my Switch prebook.

 

[Firemind]

I don't understand the appeal of Odyssey. It looks like any other 3D Mario but now Mario can throw hats.

 

[GodParticle]

Count me in. I figured this had been cancelled for the switch. Just hope it's not too much of a downgrade

 

[UrbanRats]

I don't understand the appeal of Odyssey. It looks like any other 3D Mario but now Mario can throw hats.

How it's supposed to look?

 

[Gaiaknight]

i will be getting it on both though i dont i will touch the wii u version only reason im picking it up is to complete my nintendo first party wii u collection.

 

[Chiramii]

Waiting for Mario to buy Switch so I'll get this for Wii U.

 

[Firemind]

How it's supposed to look?

Not like the uncanny valley. That'd be a start.
