It was overpriced, the small screen sucked, and it had no games, polar opposite of the wii, it was just the DS in console form which was forced into using this for every game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameCube_–_Game_Boy_Advance_li... like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_Crystal_Chronicl...

> It was overpriced, the small screen sucked, and it had no games

And $ for $ I had more fun with my Wii U than my Xbox One.

Nintendo's Wii U games were full of joy and happiness. They are all an absolute delight to play.

Wait, you didn't like Crystal Chronicles? Maybe I'm just a nostalgic millennial, but I thought the game's aesthetic was pristine and the multiplayer super clever.

It's up there with Pac Man Vs. for that sort of thing.

I didn’t get to play it with others since they didn’t have the cable and it was pointless on my own.
I own a few of the cables. If we ever somehow meet in real life someday, would you want to try it with me and some friends?

There are moments where it feels like a bit of a Dungeons & Dragons campaign with the towns, or roadside scenes, or everyone receiving individual letters from home.

Yes I’d love to! I heard neverwinter nights is great for that too, it’s still being developed and it’s even Linux native since 2002 or so.
