Is Wii U the Dreamcast of the 2010's?

It's not the Dreamcast of the 2010's because it's not Nintendo's last system, it won't have the mystique of the Dreamcast. The Wii U will be remember more like any other decent console. It'll have its fans due to it having a good library of games but that's it.

If any console has a chance of being remembered like the Dreamcast it'll most likely be the PlayStation Vita but we'll have to wait and see.

Indeed, the Dreamcast holds is status as much for being cut in it's prime. It had really only just got going with it's big releases in the West when they pulled the plug so there is a lot of "what could have been?" factor to it.

People seem to forget the Dreamcast was supported in the West for 16-17 months before the plug was pulled. The Wii U has now had double that.

I agree with the Vita part too. I definitely think history is going to look back far more favourably on it than the present does.
