Since Wii U failed, what should Nintendo have done to follow up the Wii's success?

All they had to do was get rid of the gamepad. As much as I love it I think they could have used the money from the gamepad and put it towards hardware power. They could have then used the Pro controller as their main controller, and keep support for all the Wiimote stuff. A full HD Wii could have been something spectacular.

No, it should have been an evolved wii mote + nunchuck. a pro controller is two steps back from the wii. they could use the difference in money to increase hardware just a little, since it's already good as it is.

Pro controller along with the power around the X1/PS4 area would have helped ensure more 3rd party support, or at least in theory. I think Nintendo should have kept the Wiimote/Nunchuck combo for the majority of their Wii U games, or at least included the option for those games. All I know for sure is that the gamepad wasn't thought out enough and although I love the off TV gameplay, it wasn't worth the cost to develop and produce the gamepad.

Although I do think that a refined wiimote and nunchuck could have helped bring back casual love to the Wii U. Either that or they should have abandoned the Wii U name completely and made the shape of their console and name completely different from the Wii.
