The Wii U may have a lot of soul, but actually owning one when it came out sucked ass. Those immense droughts of good games coupled with Nintendo's dogshit marketing at the time made it impossible to defend.

I miss the time where Nintendo actually wanted customers and was soulful, now they're doing the exact same shit as everyone else and it's not fun.

The Wii U had soul yes but it was also cursed by hardware limitations and lack of software. And a good portion of those games that it actually got ended up being dogshit.

>Tablet controller needs to be close to the console to work
>people wanted Animal Crossing on Switch
>instead of getting something like New Leaf or the later NH they got fucking Amiibo Festival
>people wanted a new StarFox game
>got the mess that was Zero
>people wanted a new exciting 3D Mario
>got 3D World which looked exactly like Mario 3D Land just on Wii U which was incredibly unexciting
>no new Zelda until BOTW came out which was also on Switch
>nothing Metroid
>Pikmin 3 way too late
>the worst Mario Party games ever made
>Monolith hadn't figured out their game yet so all they do release was Xenoblade X which also released way too late
>other popular games like Mario Maker or Smash Bros also got 3DS versions so even less reasons to buy Wii U games
>third parties didn't even try and those who had deals with Nintendo quickly abandoned them like Ubisoft with ZombiU and Rayman

And yet you have retards who blame the name for the failure of this system.
>dude people thought it was a Wii addon thats why it flopped.
Meanwhile the Switch 2 is essentially just a Switch Pro and it sells like hotcakes.

"Switch 2" is nowhere as confusing as Wii U (coupled with all the marketing focused on the tablet) you disingenuous nigger
