With E3 2021 now complete, it's time to go back in time to revisit a classic conference from the past - and in terms of history, Nintendo's final official presser doesn't get much more significant. This one is more fascinating as opposed to senses shattering - the platform holder's pitch to gamers for the Wii U. And let's just say that it's not exactly Nintendo firing on all cylinders. John, Audi and Rich share their views on this one.

Would love to see the previous year's conference as well! The way they describe the console is absolutely mind boggling.

I always wonder what might have happened had the Wii U just had a touch more CPU power so it could at least match the 360 in that area.
