Not much has changed gameplay-wise console-to-console since the rise of 3D games. Most of the games that game out for the Wii U are nicer looking versions of very similar games that came out for the N64.

Games gone open world alot more. Games like Skyrim werent available on ps2.

If your concept is that doable (it isn't), why even bother making a new console at all? Why not find a way to make the Wii U in a much more cost-effective way, to lower the price and make a handheld version of the Wii U that will play digital versions of Wii U games? Why bother with making a new console with a new processor manufacturer to begin with?

2 reasons. 

1. not possible. Wii U uses PowerPC which cant be just put into a handheld. Also it need 2 screen, again problem for handheld.

2. Image. There was a reason Nintendo released the wii and not just a motion controller for the gamecube.

Remember handhelds are only Nintendo's bread and butter because Nintendo were made more or less irrelevant (by comparison to their competition) in the home console arena. They were once king and lost their crown. Nintendo was once THE platform for third party games, now Nintendo fans have settled for them being nice to have.

N64, Gamecube were both system with similar or even better power then their competition. Both didnt managed to sell nearly as many units as the Playstation did.

The Wii was different, less powerfull. It suprasses ps3 and x360 both.
