Talk:Wii U#rfc B026F26

{{Edit semi-protected|Wii U|answered=yes}}

Could you change the successor section at the start to not exist, just like it was before, because this information is inaccurate and the Wii U doesn’t have a successor, because:

The Nintendo Switch is a handheld and the successor to the Nintendo 3DS/ New Nintendo 3DS, look at the proof:

It runs an evolved version of the Nintendo 3DS System Software, a HANDHELD!

It uses a Nvidia Tegra X1/X1+ a MOBILE SoC that uses ARM, the same architeture used on the PlayStation Pocket, Game Boy Advance⁰, Nintendo DS⁰, Nintendo DSi¹, Nintendo 3DS⁰, PlayStation Vita, New Nintendo 3DS¹, all HANDHELDS!!!!!!!!²

Uses LPDDR4, a MOBILE form of RAM.

⁰OG Console/¹Minor Upgrade (Unrelated):

The Game Boy to Game Boy Color/vGame Boy Color (Coprocessor from Game Boy Advance), PlayStation 2 to Playstation 2 Slimline, Game Boy Advance to vGame Boy Advance (Coprocessor from Nintendo DS), Gamecube to Wii/vWii (GX GPU on Wii U), Nintendo DS to Nintendo DSi/vNintendo DSi (Coprocessor from Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS), Nintendo 3DS to New Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch HAC-001 to Nintendo Switch Lite/Nintendo Switch HAC-001 (01)/Nintendo Switch OLED and Xbox Series S to X are what i like to call same/mid-generation upgrades, because they increase core count and/or clock, but not an architectural upgrade.

I wrote this because I couldn’t think if I should include these separately. 2804:14D:4284:800B:B9B3:80B6:33C7:29AC (talk) 18:00, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

:File:Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Tlx|Edit semi-protected}} template. To be a bit more specific, IP, whether or not the Switch is a successor to the Wii U, or to the 3DS (or both, or neither), isn't for any Wikipedian(s) to determine. Instead, it should come from how the console is discussed in reliable sources. As far as I can tell, when 'succession' is talked about with respect to the Wii U, that 'successor' is talked about as a hybrid console, and then identified as the Nintendo NX with the name later changed to the Nintendo Switch. See [https://www.gamerevolution.com/news/8377-nintendo-talks-wii-u-successor-hybrid-console], [https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/herocomplex/la-et-hc-nintendo-dates-its-successor-to-the-wii-u-the-nx-20160427-story.html], [https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42885803] for just a few examples. -- Pinchme123 (talk) 04:09, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

:Nintendo has said the Switch is the successor to the Wii U, starting its design as soon as they saw the Wii U was failing. While there are some principles of the 3DS to the Switch's design, it is not considered a predessor of the Switch, according to Nintendo. Masem (t) 04:23, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

::You’re looking at it from a marketing perspective, not a technical perspective.

::I think it’s better to look at it from a more technical perspective. 5:00 PM, 21 March 2024 (EDT)

:::Unfortunately, unless you've got reliable sources that commonly say that, that sounds like WP:OR, which isn't allowed. Sergecross73 msg me 5:02 AM, 21 March 2024 (EDT)

:::: https://wololo.net/2017/03/09/hackers-know-nintendo-switch-far: This link says that the Nintendo Switch OS is based on 3DS and they gave this other link: https://twitter.com/qlutoo/status/838666432774692864 5:27 AM, 21 March 2024 (EDT)

:::::Wololo is a hacking fansites. Fansites aren't going to be usable on Wikipedia. Nor are vague observations from random people on Twitter. WP:VG/S has a list of commonly designated usable/unusable sources if you'd like some help on that. Sergecross73 msg me 5:35 PM, 21 March 2024 (EDT)

::::::But Wikipedia used that same link in this Wikipedia page. 5:56 PM, 21 March 2024 (EDT)

:::::::See WP:OSE. It's still an unusable source and only shows that Nintendo Switch system software has its own problems with unreliable sources. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 22:22, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

:::::::Okay, that just means it should be removed there, not that it should be added here. Sergecross73 msg me 22:50, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

:::Well, there is word from Tropic Haze (Developers of Citra and Yuzu) about this:

::::That link is broken. First, it's not up to us to read through a link you provide and determine the point you're making. Second, the word of emulator devs doesn't determine what makes a Wii U successor. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 23:37, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

:::::Well, is there any technical proof that the Wii U is technically the successor to the Nintendo Switch, in software or in hardware? 191.13.65.37 (talk) 10:45, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

::::::Wikipedia goes by what reliable sources say. Reliable sources say it's a successor. So we list it as a successor. This isn't some tech forum where we disassemble hardware and compare notes or something. There's other areas of the internet for that sort of stuff. Sergecross73 msg me 11:59, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

They should replace the white Wii U picture with the black Wii U picture. Stein256 (talk) 02:09, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

:the standard Wii U was the white version. Masem (t) 02:13, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

:Why? Sergecross73 msg me 02:51, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

::Because the black version is better. Stein256 (talk) 16:52, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

:::Subjective opinions do not dictate whether or not we make changes to an article. The white version was the standard Wii U, therefore it should be the image used at the top of this article. GSK (talk • edits) 16:56, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

:::That sort of "reasoning" won't persuade anyone. It would be constantly changed and argued about if that's all it took to warrant changing it. Sergecross73 msg me 16:59, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
