4 years have passed and this is such a blast from the past. I wanted a Wii U so badly and I finally got it in December of 2013. It had a good run from 2012-2015 but there has been such a drought in software this year, it makes me sad. Long live the Wii U. It may have been a commercial failure, but it's honestly one of the best systems ever made and will go down in history as the most underrated console of all time.

I still recall the initial reveal trailer, which called the Wii U a "new controller" about a dozen times, but never mentioned that it was actually a new console altogether. I recall the day I purchases my Wii U at the store. A couple parents were looking at it arguing over whether it was a new system, a Wii expansion, or a new Wii controller. It seems obvious today that Nintendo wanted a hybrid system like the Switch, but the problem was the technology/cost to make a true hybrid console was still about a half decade away, resulting in the Wii U - a nice console IMO, but one that too expensive and had "remote" capabilities that really only extended to anywhere in the room at your home, and was doomed to be Nintendo's biggest home console flop.

Nintendo did so many mistakes with the Wii U. 1.No multi touch screen 2.Weak console 3.Thought they could do without third party support 4.Weak VC store 5.8gb up to 32gb hardrive 6.The name 7.Lack of proper online aspect 8.2 year of barely any games 9.Lack of direction 10.And of course the commercials was lackluster

@@zebare726 To be fair, the third party support was strong for the Wii and even the DS, with very weak hardware, that's why they maybe thought third party support would, uh, exist. But if it kept going after 2014 like it did since launch to that year, then it would have been very okay. Tbh many hardware issues are present in the Wii U, plus the lack of power that may be underwhelming for some people and ports, and a Mario game which didn't really show off the console's true power. But, here's my point, stuff like the loading times in *_the menu._* were tried to get fixed the most they could, so why couldn't it sell like the Xbox One (a very greay piece of hardware) that had its launch flaws like required online, required Kinect, unability to share games and not many exclusibes that *encourgae* you to buy at launch? It really got better after a while and I think Microsoft has proven they'll stay at the console market if they want to, but the fact the Wii U did so poorly in comparison bugs me, it would also have a great library if you added more third party support to cover the times where announcements and games lacked, but tbh I guess that's something to add for your list: -Some Directs and E3s announced *way* too much and not in a good way. -The third parties mostly did not care about enhancing the experience with the Gamepad's potential. -As an extra: Yes, the online is kinda outdated but that's not the main problem, I've seen it work properly, but there were many games that didn't had any online functionality asides from Miiverse, while they could have really benefited from it.

The Wii U has already intrigued several, dozens of game developers by it's unique design and how developers now go for what's the most powerful in gaming graphics (most of the time it's the 1st reason only).
