To be fair, everyone and their mom already had a Wii. Nintendo's marketing for the Wii U was absolute dogshit for making the casual audience know what the difference was.

Dragon's Crown
Expected it to be more like Odin Sphere, picked Sorceress which I did not enjoy playing as and had a massive cold/headache combo which made me feel like shit.
Came back 2 years later without the expectations and cold/headache, and played Fighter instead of Sorceress. Put 76 hours into it and got the Platinum, then put in another 15-20 hours playing as Dwarf, which I enjoy even more than Fighter now.
Monster Hunter World
Tried the demo back in 2017 or 2018 and did not really enjoy my time with it.
Wanted to give it another shot due to successful cross-game promotion with Rathalos being a fight and mount in FFXIV, and with me hearing and loving the Seliana theme on youtube. I also just kept seeing it on sale every time I checked my go-to shop for buying games.
Picked Hammer instead of Longsword like I did in the beta, Instantly vibed with the bonk stick. put 170 hours into it in 4 weeks. I want to put in even more hours but am waiting to get a PS5 so that the Grinding Lands loading times don't suck so bad.
