it's not silly at all. The Wii U could run most adventure games to an enjoyable level. Black Flag an example. It's problem is developers don't bother making their games for it. But power is very important. I wouldn't enjoy a single adventure game on the 3DS or PSVita because they are too basic for me. Play Far Cry 4 on the PS4 on a 55" Bravia and nothing comes close graphically on the Wii U. Those grahics really ad to the sense if adventure. 

If the devs don't make games for it, but the console can run most adventure games at an enjoyable level, then the reason the games aren't being made is more likely a business decision (not saying it's a good or bad one). Ultimately the U is perfectly adequate for adventure games but bottom line it all depends on your value system. If graphics are everything then sure the U won't be enough, but for more adventure fans I would say that story, art direction and worlds are the most important part of a game. For that reason I could still greatly enjoy a game like A Link to the Past or Warcraft III or what have you, even though they are older games. I mentioned War 3 because even though it's not an adventure game, the art style is awesome.

this. & add wind waker, super mario world, metroid prime, yoshi's island, super metroid etc. to that list. also luigi's mansion: dark moon on the 3ds is one of the best adventure games in recent memory. but again, not open-world or gorgeous-looking (though no slouch in the looks department given the platform), so maybe not what kerotan would classify as proper adventure.
