No. I would say Wii was worse. Unless you actually liked fitness, party crap games, or can't play video games for sh*t and need everything dumbed down to the nth degree. 

Splatoon is better than any new idea Nintendo came up with on the Wii if you're actually a GAMER. Mario Kart 8 is far better than Mario Kart Wii. Smash U is better than Smash Wii. Mario Galaxy is better than Mario 3D World ... but not by as much as people think (especially the second half of Mario 3D World). DKC: Tropical Freeze is better than DKC Returns. NSMBU + NSLU is better than NSMB Wii. 

Metroid Prime 3, ok, but Wii U has Bayonetta 2, Captain Toad, Xenoblade X (with no petition needed). 

Super Mario Maker looks incredible.

Star Fox is coming back.

I think there's a lot to like right now.

It's also nice to finally have Nintendo games that don't like crap on an HDTV set. Nintendo games translate so well to HD graphics, it really is a crime we had to wait six years to get here. 

But wii still had twilight princess, skyward sword, mario galaxy 2, metroid prime, xenoblade, last story, pandora's tower,...

It also seemed to have the same and more out of third party.The wii may not have been the core system for gamers, but it did have more games that appealed to a wider audience. Of course the wii u still has a year or two, but at this point, the library is nowhere near the wii's


However, this is all off point. This thread is to compare this moment (splatoon and upcoming games) to previous moments, and not the entire wii u library as I have mentioned that I am not trying to compare consoles.
