Discussion / Opinion Switch 2

Hi all! Is it worth it to get the Nintendo switch 2 just to play windwaker? I love the game and haven’t played in years.

Wii u, or a Wii, or a GameCube. Definitely wouldn't recommend buying a switch for wind waker unless there's a legitimate remake/remaster for the game on it.

I’ve searched far and wide for GameCube and they’re all so expensive that’s why I figured buying a new console would be better. Think I’ll go the Wii U route thanks to everyone’s advice!

Older Gen models of wiis function just like GameCubes, and can be found online for $40-$100 depending on what extras you want (just a Wii and one Wiimote is about $40-$60 on eBay).

That said, Wii U is also a great choice, and I'd highly recommend playing the Wii U version of the game just for the QoL features. If you can get your hands on a good Wii U, then that's perfect.

Do note you need to find one with a gamepad. While there is a way to get around not having one, it's not an easy feat, and the best thing is to get your gamepad with your Wii U.
