A Nintendo console without third party support can only go so far, specially one that lost that support in less than 2 years.

Without being blinded by how horrible the Wii U is doing sales wise (because when it comes to games, sales hardly matter) I can firmly say the SNES is in my opinion the best Nintendo console of all time.

Surely the Wii U fills that Nintendo quota, but hey, every single Nintendo console before it kinda does that too which is why 3rd party support is a huge plus. Not only that but for gamers that want more outside of that Nintendo spectrum of games the Wii U is not doing anything to fill that void, meanwhile consoles like the GC and N64 who also lacked in the 3rd party department ended up being more supported than the Wii U currently is.

Also let's not forget that the SNES had the best 2D Mario games of all time after all and most importantly, those 2 games played nothing like one another and they certainly played didn't play like previous entries, this is what I would call true innovation.
