Nintendo Switch is on the threshold of the Nintendo devices ever. When returning back, it is easy to know the reason: it is a device that is smoothly transmitted from a home controller to portable, erasing the distinction between the two. It was so successful that Nintendo did not change all of this with Switch 2. But both keyboards have been well implemented from the ideas that Nintendo has been working on since Wii U-and perhaps even before.
Parally through sales numbers, Wii U flippled. Switch has sold more than 150 million units of eight years old. Wii U sold, compared to 13.56 million units-less than 10 what Switch did-making it the worst home console in Nintendo.
As a result, he was much shorter, as it was launched in late 2012 before replacing the switch after about four and a half years. But many of her ideas and games were not only excellent, but also before their time, and in some respects she expected many modern trends in games.
Wii U, with a tablet control unit, also I worked as a device that can play games on a TV or in a portable position. The ability to see a game on a large screen or curl it on the sofa is a permanent game, such as the presence PlayStation Portal and Steam Now they appear. The concept has become a full category of video game devices, and Even Xbox wants to be made now. Nintendo has already been interested in the idea of Long Wii U, which is filled with portable connections to another with things like Game Boy Advance’s ability to contact Gamecube or the additional Super Game Boy.
Wii u has the main restriction that you could not play games if you are very far from the console, so it wasn’t really carried. The battery life of the tablet was not great as well, so you can only play for a long time before having to charge it.
The key improves all these ideas. Instead of a TV control unit can stimulate a game on the tablet, the switch was a tablet that can be easily displayed on a TV. The Switch plate made this connection smooth, as it was almost impossible to fill the switch to the dock so that it could appear on the TV set. (And recharge the console battery easily.)
Many Switch games began on Wii U. Mario Cart 8 DeluxeThe most -selling switching title is a outlet from Mario Cart 8 For wii u. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild It would originally be exclusive to Wii U before Nintendo decided to launch the transformer as well. the first Splatoon The title was launched on Wii U before obtaining a pair of Switch Sequels, as well as the verb of origin Super Mario maker. The donkeys Kong: tropical freezingand The world of Super Mario 3Dand Pikmin 3And Xenoblade Chronicles X All wonderful Wii U, who got a new life on the switch.

Switch 2 is looking to build this heritage by compatible with the back with the vast majority of Switch games, including switching versions of those classics Wii U. The same wilderness Even he will get a third version of the new control unit With technical improvements. Features like Gameshare and Gamechat It can also help people play games easily with their friends.
Before the first switch appeared in March 2017, Nintendo was moving strongly from the production unit console unit in Japan in Japan In January of that yearThe company also dipped its toes in the mobile devices as another company to reach the players. Even at the time, the company seemed to realize that he was on something with this concept. It was too early. This is something Mario and Zelda The creative Shigeru Miyamoto seemed ful Super Mario Run.
“I hope that people will continue to get to know the areas where Nintendo took this first step,” Mamoto He said freedom. “We hope that people will one day look back at Wii U and think.” Wow, I remember when Nintendo did it, and now I look at what happened. “
