Wii U was the best 8th gen console but sold the worst. Even at the time: Best controller Best stick placement Light weight, quiet, low energy consumption Free online Best Web browser at the time Best Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon apps at the time 100% backwards compatability with previous gen Gamepad controls your TV Nice discs with curved edges Miiverse BotW (game of the generation) Virtual Wii is hackable so Sega/Atari/Arcade/PCE/Nintendo classics Best exclusives Third party games usually had exclusive gimmicks to make that version unique
Currently in 9th gen we only have the Switch and has outsold the Wii U in such a short time.
When will the Switch finally get a Dr. Mario game?

People liked to shit on the gamepad for being a brick but I found it to be really comfortable.

even nintendo didnt want to put games on this thing, the first party offerings are abysmal even compared to the gamecube

>t. Dumbass or never played the Wii U Half of the Switch library are Wii U games.

Discovering this thing after its hayday is so frustrating.
It had a lot of potential and some very nice games, but it didn't make money, so Nintendo stopped making games for it. Not even for the Virtual Console, which SHOULD have been Nintendo's best, but is only now being realized through modding.
>Best controller >Light weight, quiet, low energy consumption Hope you're not talking about the Pad, because that ran out of juice incredibly fast and was a real pain to charge all the time. It was clunky as hell to hold, too, and the screen was rarely used to much effect.
>Nice discs with curved edges ????

It was fucking trash. An overpriced overclocked xbox 360 with 32gb of storage max, 1 good game at very best per year, total lack of basic online infrastructure and the worthwile features removed after a short time.
It's only worth owning now that you can pirate it and download games straight from Nintendo servers, but it was actually terrible to own back then.

>It's only worth owning now that you can pirate it and download games straight from Nintendo servers Haven't they shut this down now, though? (If it's back up, I might actually dust off my WiiU again).
