Don't think that Wii U is much better....it has a lan port, but literally every tool is command line based and their debugger looks like notepad from Windows 95 with few extra buttons tacked on. There is a plugin for Visual Studio integration, but it's super slow, when you hit a breakpoint in code it takes over a minute to trigger in the IDE, so everyone uses their horrible outdated debugger instead. Nintendo hardware is very weird to develop for.

I don't seem to have access to the VS plugin, but when I place a breakpoint in the Green Hills IDE it is indeed about 30 seconds for it to catch up. It works, but I do find it frustrating.
