Does Wii U with its entire eShop count as a retro console? Because, despite being unpopular, it had a lot of games from a lot of past Nintendo consoles.
Given that it is nintendo's next most recent console, I don't think it does. An arguement could be made for the wii though, and I think that had an even more extensive virtual console
what
427 games on the wii virtual console: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Virtual_Console_games_for_Wii_(North_America)
318 games on wii u virtual console: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Virtual_Console_games_for_Wii_U_(North_America)
Though checking back in on it, I had forgotten that the wii u could boot into wii mode and you could get wii virtual console on it.
No no, the fact that there was nothing between WiiU and Switch.
That's what's giving me this existential crisis.
Oh lol, I hadn't even considered that because the switch feels like such a natural successor to the wii u
WHAT
That can't be right.
