With games now jumping from one generation of consoles to the next, when is the best time to play something? Is there ever a best time?

They released a game for a console you already owned, and then released it again on the new console, and people got mad? I dunno.

I loved my Wii U, and loved playing BotW on it. I guess it wasn't designed to use the control pad in any special way, which was a bit of a drag, but it played great.

They didn't release it again. It got delayed and delayed, then optimized for the Switch and released on both consoles at the same time. It runs bad on the WiiU and you can see that some game mechanics where designed with the 2nd display of the WiiU in mind but then got stripped down to work on the Switch.

I played the entire game on the WiiU, plus the DLC. Collected almost all the koroks too. The game ran fine, I noticed zero issues and thought it looked gorgeous. So, I'm not sure what the fuck you're smoking.

Oh also, all those fun videos that came out around that time of people modding the game? You know, the ones where you could be Steve from Minecraft and fight giant Shrek's instead of Hinox's? All of those were from a WiiU emulator, not a Switch emulator. Because the game ran just fine on the WiiU software.
