Ever since I joined YouTube, I wanted to upload gameplay. So I need a capture card for my Wii U and 3DS. The only problem is, they cost over $250. Should I get it?
I would say it depends on if you have a sizable audience or not. If you do, you could potentially make your money back and then some if you monetize. Also depends on your personality and commentary style.
It really depends if you can spend that kind of money and if you think you'd be able to stick with it. Also as Chroma Red said, it depends as well on your audience and your play-style. I don't feel like it's something that's really worth it for myself, but if you seriously want to get into gaming on your channel and can afford it, I'd say go for it.
