Would You Be Angry If Nintendo Released A New Console But Still Supported Wii U?

Don't worry they'll have a Quality of Life senior citizen/soccer mom health box for the types of games you seem to get excited about, so that's already covered. Those of us who want a good normal modern SNES style console (which is the majority of stable game console buying audience IMO) can have their flavor of ice cream, Wii U can be repositioned more a family/kids box (already trending this way anyhow). 

Everyone gets what they want, Nintendo gets a wider audience to offer their games to and their dev teams are freed up of having to make 2 versions of every staple Nintendo IP, which opens the door to more Nintendo IPs getting a chance or more original IP being made. 

Why don't you go with the alternative that is already reality? Buy a PS4 to play the games you want.

That's fine and dandy, though I would assume Nintendo still wants to be part of the console business, and honestly speaking since the X1 really hasn't taken off that quickly, there probably is a market a for a higher end traditional console here (especially one that has free online play) if Nintendo is willing to swallow some of their pride and simply just give Western third parties the box that they want and be content to sell some of their own games on said box. 

It's better than the situation they are in with the Wii U currently and I have zero confidence they can repeat the Wii phenmenon any time soon, so both of those are kind of dead ends for them.  

The QoL thing will let them squeeze a few extra bucks from whatever different audience is left while staying far away from the borders of Apple and Google with whom they absolutely cannot compete with.
