It ended successfully, it got a game that is better on another platform? 

Well, it makes sense. The Wii U is done, it's time for the Switch! Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

It's not a Wii U game, it's a Nintendo game they released on 2 platforms at the same time. It was delayed twice (and if you don't think Wii U release was delayed to match Switch release I don't know what to say)

They also didn't treat the Wii like their bastard son they couldn't wait to replace. 

It brought us Splatoon, that alone puts the system at a special place in my heart. Oh, but it also brought us Color Splash and Amiibo Festival, so nevermind, I'd rather forget about it.

You're exactly the sort of person I am talking about. Creating a fictionized version of the generation in an attempt justify blind fandom of a failed console. The gamecube era was a terrible and bleakest generation to be a Nintendo fan.

It had, perhaps, the weakest and most sparsely released lineup of any Nintendo console; the biggest title being a Smash Brothers game, which is depressing to say the least; Wii U had a stronger lineup in the end. The biggest problem was the philosophy: an economy-class PS2, which they achieved by gimping its features and cheapening its software - then justified it all by aiming the console primarily at children, but with a few gun-games for the big kids. Creating a console whose greatest appeal is in how it immitates the competition is very unNintendo-like. The Gamecube would have been more accurately called the Nintendo PS2 Jr.

The only darker time I can remember in Nintendo's history was when nearly all the Japanese third parties flipped Nintendo the bird and moved on to the PSX. Gamecube retained that terrible status quo, but raised the N64 with no DMA (Rockstar) and no Rareware.

When there's another version that looks better and runs better I wouldn't really call it that.

That's expected of Nintendo at the end of their generations. But you know the support they showed the Wii is leagues above what they did for the Wii U. It was written off long before it's successor came out. 

The virtual boy was a bigger flop they have still talked about it. I doubt Nintendo will pretend like it doesn't exist.

I forgot that The Last of Us released on the same day on both PS3 and PS4. I had this feeling that It came out before the PS4 was released, funny. 

The end of an era.

Twilight princess came out on the Wii first technically.

I didn't say BoTW is a switch game through and through, I said you can't call it Wii U's last big bang when the bang is mitigated by the fact it released at the same time as a superior version on a newer console. 

The last big bang or last hurrah for PS3 was a GT6. As it was a PS3 game that at time of release (and still now) can only be played on a PS3.
