    I mis worded something for those that care, I'm aware that you can use the Home Button to turn the switch on and off. But that's only in and out of sleep mode, so that doesn't really count. I should've clarified that! Regardless I hope you enjoyed the video :)

      But sleep is just as good if not better because you can pick up right where you left off. Unless your switch is about to die its basically save states

    IMO, the Wii U itself wasn’t necessarily a bad console. It was just handled really poorly by Nintendo. Yeah, the loading sucked, and there wasn’t enough third party support, but it was nowhere near Virtual-Boy-bad. I have a lot of fun memories playing it before I got my Switch.

    I unironically still play my Wii U to this day, over 7 years since I first got it. For me, it will always be my favourite console because of the memories I made with it - Pikmin 3, Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, Nintendo Land are games that I played all the time with my friends. And, of course, a Virtual Console that you could get lost in for hours on end. It all holds a special place in my heart.

The conversation would’ve gone on for possibly hours if I didn’t have to go eat breakfast.

    The WiiU didn't have a Wii emulator. It literally just the Wii OS, as the WiiU used the same architecture as the wii, just higher clock speeds and more ram. The same goes for Wii playing GameCube games. That's why the system has to reboot when you enter Wii mode.
