The wii just has so many hidden gems that were overlooked. All the Wii us good games are out in the open, and had iterations on the wii.
So no, the wii u can never beat the wii imo


Wow, first post absolutely nails it.

 

And yeah, I fully agree with this.  Wii got a brand of niche Japanese support that is just completely absent on WiiU and it made for some of my favourite games on the console.  Little King's Story; Muramasa; Fragile Dreams; No More Heroes 2.  Plus there's still some stuff I've been meaning to try on Dolphin (since they never released in Europe) like Shiren the Wanderer and Arc Rise Fantasia.

And you know, now I think about it, there was third-party support from the west too that had me interested.  The kind of stuff that doesn't normally appear on consoles like SimCity Creator & Anno: Create a new world.

 

It's not going to go down as one of my favourite consoles in history, but I do think it has a legitimate back-catalogue of diverse stuff that got completely ignored at the time.  And that's definitely what WiiU seems to be lacking (I don't own one, so maybe I'm wrong on that, but everything I see recommended for it are stuff I was already aware of).
