Shoutout to the one single person that just bought a new Wii U, the first recorded in 17 months
A♉pparently just one person bought a Wii U in 2023, and we should all aspire to be such beautiful 💙sickos

Some beautiful sicko out there just managed to acqui💙re a brand-new Wii U console at retail♊, the first time anyone has made such a purchase for the better part of a year-and-a-half.
"1 new Wii U was sold in the US in September. First time a new Wii U sold since May 2022," of the US sales tracking group Circana (formerly known as NPD). He also notes that the "last time a new Vita unit sold was in November 202💖1, when 3 (!!) were purchased." Vita may mean life, but clearly it's the Wii U that's truly winning the battle of the underdog game platforms.
1 new Wii U was sold in the US in September. First time a new Wii U sold since May 2022. Last time a new Vita unit so🀅ld was in Novem❀ber 2021, when 3 (!!) were purchased.Is any of this at all meaningful? No. Sales fun facts that do not matter.
It's pretty easy to imagine the scenario where a new Wii U sale might suddenly happen. Maybe some retail worker discovered a long-forgotten console in the back of the storehouse, put it out on a shelf, and💃 after weeks of begging for a new home like a sad puppy in a pet store, some kind soul fell in love with the machine and gave it a new home. Or hey, maybe there was just an inventory error and nobodyജ actually bought a Wii U. But I want to believe!
I've got an inordinate amount of fondness for the Wii U that mostly comes down to the fact that I really miss having a touch screen in hand when playing games on a TV. Games like Splatoon and Pikmin just aren't the same on Switch without a quick reference map in your hands at all times, and building stages in Mario Maker 2 is so much less pleasant witho🎃ut that dual screen convenience.
Of course, Wii U consoles are pretty readily available on sites like eBay, with dozens of units sold every single day, so it's not like the retail market is the only place you can pick the console. If you're looking for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Wii U games, we've got a big list of recommendations at that link. 🃏Sure, yes, you can get most of them on Switch, but then you won't get to play them with a giant, bulky touchscreen gamepad in your lap the whole time.
Yeah sure all those 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Switch 2 leaks are exciting, but have you considered the excitement that only a Wii U 2 could provide?
