DS lite, DSi, DSi XL were just iterations of the original DS. Same with 3DS family. These weren't a new console, only 2 consoles - DS and 3DS

The DSi was a hardware upgrade and so was the New 3DS.

It was a PS4 Pro situation. It was still the DS family, same games etc. A Switch 2 with only updated internals would be totally different, it won't be the same console

Fine, Wii > Wii U

How were Wii and WiiU similar in anything but the name?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The GameCube, Wii, and Wii U all use the same basic setup: PowerPC G3 CPU and an ATi/AMD GPU with an upgrade each generation. They are, in effect, very similar to how the PS4 and Xbox One started their own current trends. In fact, the Wii U can run GameCube games natively with some effort, and Wii games out of the box.

But WiiU is anything but a Wii in another case. It is completely different in how you play the games through the controller and different to what the first comment was saying

NES -> SNES.
