I was extremely hyped, I'm a Nintendo diehard and it was the first home console I ever bought with my own cash. ZombiU, NSMBU and most of all, Pikmin 3 had me convinced good games would be there. Sadly, it hasn't really lived up to the hype in retail games; As has been said by others, SM3DW was good, but not the epic 3D Mario I expected after SMG, NSMBU was a good game by itself, but was entirely too stale. 3rd Party releases have almost entirely died off and the gamepad has not been utilised well in 99% of games.

Kills me as a Nintendo diehard, but the Wii U has not lived up to the Nintendo standard at all, it has been a 5/10 console, if that. I know this wasn't the question, but the 3DS on the other hand, has definitely lived up to the hype I had for it. It's been continuously incredible since holiday 2011 and has kept my interest. This came at the expense of the Wii U though, as 3DS stole many previously console games that could have otherwise gone to Wii U.
