I actually thought the Wii U gamepad was pretty comfortable to hold and use, but then again I have very large hands, so maybe that's why. The downfall of the Wii U was its terrible launch, the lack of a new Zelda title, and overall just a weak library of games in its catalog, particularly at launch. Basically, all you really got on the Wii U was a handful of decent new Mario games, and remasters, but nothing really special. It got better over the years, but by the time botw was released the switch was already out and the damage was already done.

The downfall of the Wii U was the cost of entry in terms of control. The Wii had one or two (if you got the Nunchuck) small controllers, one in each hand, that were very light and easy to learn and easy to maneuver, and they were a lot of fun to use. The Wii U had a big, bulky Gamepad that wasn't as light or convenient or even terribly fun to use when playing a game on your TV. Not to mention, when playing local multiplayer, only one person would have a controller with a screen, unless you were willing to spend around $100 on a second Gamepad and order the thing directly from Nintendo, because it wasn't sold at retailers. Nintendo tried to sell the "one player with a screen" idea as "assymetric gameplay," but nobody really bought it. The whole concept just wasn't fun.

@@benboyd3082 That type of thing doesn't work for them. They learned with the N64 and GameCube that having powerful hardware doesn't necessarily bring good sales, especially after Sony got involved in the gaming space. It's more about the gimmick (look up the word "gimmick" if you think I'm using the word negatively). The Wii had a simple, effective gimmick, and people bought it. It outsold both the PS3 and Xbox 360. The Wii U had a very flawed gimmick, and people didn't buy it. The Switch has an excellent gimmick, evolved from the Wii U, and people love it, and Valve now has a handheld that takes everything but the detachable JoyCons. Is Nintendo worried about Valve's Steam Deck and its more powerful hardware? Probably not right now, but that could be an issue for them in the future. Actually, the Switch and Steam Deck could be the future of game consoles. We'll have to see how the PS5 sells in the long-run compared to the inevitable Switch Pro (which won't be as powerful as a PS5). One thing we already know, however, is that even with less powerful hardware, Nintendo can still outsell the competition, as the DS and 3DS did when up against the PSP and Vita, respectively.

At least it didn't because of timing and not great marketing do what Dreamcast did to Sega... Mind I say that still having my original bought Dreamcast and playing it once in a while😅. It had some definitely interesting aspects, but again time, some management, and etc hurt the console success. I remember how so many people two years after Wii U release still thought it was some kind of add on... The last time if I recall correctly Nintendo competed in power/performance department. Was the GameCube. Which again wasn't that big for Nintendo, though better by far sales to Wii U. Mind GameCube came out in-between PS2 and later Xbox. The biggest thing I recall that really hurt the GameCube in my view. Was the mini disc. Given the much more limited data available and the competing Consoles could be used as DVD&CD players. GameCube though had way better specs to PS2 and only slightly weaker overall to original Xbox. Also that lunchbox was truly indestructible and so easy back then to take over to friends. Still have that purple cube somewhere in my closet 😅

The latency you get from Sunshine and Moonlight can be tuned down to being 1 frame. The concept of moving gameplay from a dedicated machine up a handheld with no loss in latency already exists through those projects and has been something I've been doing got a couple years now. The Steam deck is great for it too.

At one point I thought the Wii U was the future. Gaming media destroyed the Wii U, but that's not to say that Nintendo didn't make any mistakes, but they knew what it was and still decided to put out stories being confused about what it was.
