Switch ultimately outselling Wii?

[Switch ultimately outselling Wii?]

Switch owner here: So far, really like the system. Hardware wise, this thing is a slam dunk...huge improvement over the Wii U (which I own and like as well).

 

I think the biggest determining factor as to whether it is a long term success will be if the system can garner some genuine third party support, beyond a few e-games and rehashes of older stuff (like Ultra Street Fighter II, which I do enjoy, by the way). Yes, there are a handful coming down the pipe (Skyrim, NBA 2K18, etc), but you'd think there would be more announcements coming sooner than later, given the big system sales numbers thus far.

[Has the term "toaster" always referred to the NES front-loader?]

I didn't know anyone back in the day who had a top loading NES (though I remember seeing it in stores, and thinking it looked like a lame "junior SNES"). Myself and all my friends had the classic front loading version. No one called it a toaster.

Sounds like a cool idea. I'll check out that file on MAMEWorld you mentioned.

[Wii U will reportedly cease production this year]

The Wii U is a great system. We've had one for a couple years. I enjoy Super Mario Maker, Super Smash Brothers, Mario Kart 8, and many of the other games immensely.

 

It's too bad that after the first couple years, Nintendo didn't see the writing on the wall and release a repackaged Wii U with regular controllers and not the expensive touch screen pad (which doesn't add much to a lot of the games anyway).
