Farewell to my Wii U

Greg Burke made the difficult decision to part ways with his Wii U to fund his Nintendo Switch prepurchase. He filmed the process for our enjoyment. Please take a look.

Selling a console is not easy to do, especially when it is one that you really had a fun time with. Sadly, I had to raise some money to be able to afford a preorder for Nintendo Switch. I captured the last gut-wrenching moments that I spent with my Wii U in this video. Please take a look.

For more videos, including gameplay and interviews, visit the Shacknews and GamerHub.tv YouTube channels.

Are you preordering Nintendo Switch? Let us know in the comments section!

  LOL :) , nice.
  
  Are all the Amiibos backwards compatible with the Switch? Or do they just become pimp figurines for your shelf and desk?

    Switch supports Amiibo. N3DS does as well. They're not going anywhere.

    The Zelda ones will work in Breath of the Wild. The joycons have an NFC reader built in. So I guess it depends on the game.

  It would have made more sense if the Wii U's voice was Mario or that squeaky voice of the Mii's
