I hate pursuing a dragon and just missing it with an arrow. Time to start a campf-*endless rain* They’re beautiful though, love the musical touch. Edited by Moo, Apr 21 2018, 04:37 PM.

He's turning 9. He does like running around aimlessly whacking enemies, but maybe he's ready for something more involved? I dunno. He can't get enough of Infamous, though you really have to push him towards the mission markers or he's happy to just mess around randomly electrocuting cars and pedestrians forever. He loves Arkham Asylum, though I don't think he ever makes that much progress. He just likes being Batman. He also loved Crackdown and AC2, but his ogre parents took them away from him. He's just not that into Mario or racing. My sister constantly tries to steer him towards that kind of wholesome Nintendo gaming that she used to like, but you can tell it bores him a little. I think he barely touched Mario Galaxy or the last Mario Kart. |

In that case Zelda is probably the only game left lol. If he didn’t care for Galaxy (very bad taste), Odyssey is more of the same. What he actually needs is a PS4, which has all kinds of games. Edited by Moo, Apr 21 2018, 04:47 PM.

There is virtually no options, it pretty much confirms my mini rant on the roll call thread about the Switch. Everyone here has provided solid advice, its literally down to the 3 games such as Zelda, Mario or Mario Kart. The only alternative I can suggest is Splatoon 2. I never got into the series but it does have a solid community, its literally a multi player only game I believe. Its no realistic FPS but I think if your nephew can get past the cartoon styled graphics, it might be an option. Pretty sure the only other game Switch players are spending alot of time with is Rocket League but its certainly not an exclusive. |

Speaking about Zelda, I can buy the game right now on Wii U for approx $50 with Catch of the day, I am tempted to buy now because I doubt it will ever be this cheap and I can certainly see it becoming a collectible game in the future for value being its likely the less popular version on Wii U. Gamecube version of Twilight Princess is actually worth a fair bit now, easily over $100 for a Mint copy. |

He never said he didn't like it. He just never seems nearly as excited about any Mario or platforming games as he is about a wide selection of violent western games. A ps4 would definitely suit his tastes more, though he doesn't really need a new gen console. He can play the western games on his 360. He doesn't care about technology gens yet. Currently, all he ever wants to do is to play infamous on my ps3 (though he tried spec ops the other night and declared it as the best game he's ever seen). |

@DoomGuy what emulator are using for Wii U? I'm assuming its Cemu. I've tried it out and obviously you need a fair powerful PC and GPU and I know mine is very capable and assume yours is the same but I had an issue with the actual Roms themselves and being buggy during gameplay. I have a Wii U anyway so its more of an interest to see how it all works but I have never really considered it a solid gaming experience option, due to the bugs. Also lack of standard of Wii U controller interferes with some games entirely from operating and last time I checked it wasnt compatible with Cemu, I do have a Wii U pro controller and can get that to work. But of course even a PS4 or Xbox1 controller does work but has reverse buttons configuration. |

The only reason to avoid the Wii U version is apparently the performance is a bit naff, it's identical otherwise. The GC and Wii version of twilight princess were quite different, since they mirrored the entire fucking game for the Wii so that right-handed sword controls would make sense, which subjectively made the GC version that I had superior which definitely made it more collectible again. So I actually kinda doubt the Wii U version of botw will gain value in the same way. The switch version just seems better since it runs better in undocked mode and is portable. |

PS4 is easily the best console this gen, I say that as unbiased person who has all 3 consoles. I dont have a Switch obviously but do have the Wii U so sort of the same gen. PS4 just has the best exclusives easily. New God Of War is just another example Sony killing it. Xbox just hasnt been producing enough exclusives, though I do love my horde mode in Gears Of War 4. |

You are pretty much correct and its the reason why I havent pulled the trigger on it, but as far as console units go I actually think GC sold more than Wii U so its likely going to be more rare but its the only reason why I think it might be worth something in the future. Weirdly one of the most expensive collectible game on Wii U is Super Mario Luigi, it had a low production number and I am still annoyed when I missed out on Good Guys selling the game at the time for $10, I had an order but they cancelled it. They were getting out of selling games at the time. |

Yeah, CEMU. I can't speak for other games, but I think botw is supposed to be one of the more stable game experiences that they've focused on getting right. While its the most complicated and least convenient emulation experience I've had, it's been quite smooth. I followed a good tutorial on youtube and its been solid with some tinkering and light troubleshooting. |

Yeah Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze certainly had issues, the sound is glitchy and has massive frame rate drops at times. New Super Mario Brothers I also had some troubles with. |

Zelda Wii U runs fine except in areas like Kakariko Village where the framerate plummets. |

I got him Mario Kart after all. It was the cheapest at $65. I know he won't be especially excited about it, but Zelda seemed like too much of a risk. Probably would've been criticised by my sister for getting him an adult game or something. I do know that I'm never getting a Switch. It's sooo shit! Nintendo is pretty much dead to me altogether. I don't understand their strategy or even their games. I mean, Mario Kart was always ok for a bit of local multi-player, but it was never a serious game to me. I have a hard time thinking of it as a system seller but that's what it apparently is. I just don't get the Nintendo mentality. |
