I doubt I'm the average gamer but for a long period of buying my wii I was mainly playing gamecube games on it. I bought a wii fairly late too perhaps 2009. I still view the Gamecube library as better than wii overall.  The Gamecube had a lot of third party support and because the Gamecube was a competitive design with ps2 and the original xbox it got many of the same games as well as many exclusives. Great wii games were a struggle on such weak hardware and  only Nintendo really delivered on that.  Most wii ports of 360 and PS3 games were horrible both visually and with limitations in gameplay and I also had a 360 which I could use when it wasn't suffereing from RROD.

I also only bought a wii u at launch really because I wanted to run wii games via hdmi. If the wii u didn't have wii compatibility then it probably would have had a far superior chipset so may still have bought one at launch but if it was at the same performance level, pricing and no wii compatibility then I certainly wouldn't have bought one at launch.


No, I don't think you are :p 

But Neither am I, when I do pick up a Wii U, I'll probably be playing Skyward Sword and Galaxy 2 before anything else, partially for the same reasons as you, also because my old wii had a minor fault with the GPU which makes it display faint dark lines on screen
