I've put more time in Lego City undercover than all Wii's Marios combined. 3D world and NSMBU got a lot of attention again, fun in co-op, same with Rayman Legends. My kids heavily played Splatoon while I put way too much time in Mario Maker, editting on the gamepad for hours at a time. MK8 gets played often as well, my wife and kids like it a lot.

The WiiU gets a lot of flack, yet it's still used daily in my house, if not simply by one of my kids watching you tube on the gamepad. It's the best game streaming there is by far, less display lag than my tv and very convenient with kids. I've used it to watch Netflix while playing Elite Dangerous on my laptop. It's handy when the tv remote is missing again. I still use it for Wii Fit while watching TV, or out on the deck when the sun is out. The console is small and easily put anywhere so the limited range isn't really much of an issue. It's very sturdy too, survived countless drops with my kids growing up. (Our iPad had a nasty crack in the screen less than half a year after we got it)

I only really miss Paper Mario and Zelda. And I had hoped for something like Zack and Wiki taking full advantage of the gamepad.

I would love to use remote play on the Wii U ... it was a feature when announced I thought I would use a lot buuuuuuut ...

The Wii U gamepad screen is a cheap piece of crap. It's literally a worse quality screen than even $70 no name kids tablets I see at Best Buy. It's a screen like something from a 2002-era portable DVD player that a grandma would use. I don't know how Nintendo even finds components this shitty, it's like they go back in time to special order them.

I didn't play through 6 years of the Wii with miserable muddy low resolution SD on an HDTV to now not enjoy HD graphics on the Wii U, so I basically play all the time on the HDTV. I can't go back to SD resolution, which is what the Wii U tablet screen basically is.

ehhh, i'm very much the opposite.  I play remote play exclusively if i have the option even though the TV is right there in front of me most of the time.
