    That was the Wii actually. It being a slightly up clocked Gamecube. The WiiU was a massive hardware upgrade from the Wii at the time. The WiiU just had a host of other problems.

        Nah, the Wii wasn’t even two GC glued together. It was really just an overlocked GC. When you play GC games on Wii, the hardware clocks down and the Wii becomes a gamecube.

        The reason why the Wii U can do that as well, is because in adition to it’s own hardware, all the necessary Wii hardware is also on board. It’s less a Wii mode than a built in Wii.

        The article is “Conservative Hardware Evolution”. Emphasis mine. The Switch2 will also be a conservative hardware evolution, exactly like the Wii. The Wii’s hardware was extremely conservative, already ancient upon release. Rocked 0 boats.

              Peripherals are hardware. Hardware literally means “the physical components of an electronic system” and last I checked, you can touch a controller.
