I would say the Wii era was the worst time to be a Nintendo fan: the gimmicky motion controls made even the best Wii games in my opinion undesirable. The Wii was the only Nintendo home console that I didn't buy since I got into video games. Since I got a Wii U, the only Wii games that I have bought are the Virtual Console games that use the Classic Controller. I was happy that Nintendo found success with the Wii, but I really felt that they threw their hardcore fans under the bus and hid behind a gimmick that was kind of just a mediocre fad.

The Wii U era has actually had some amazing games. Yes, the quantity is low due to the lack of 3rd Party support, I am also disappointed that there is no Metroid. That said, the games that Nintendo has put out on the Wii U have been some of the best that I have ever seen from them: Mario Kart, Smash 4, Splatoon, 3D World, Woolly World, The 3DS has also been putting out some amazing games and is probably the best console ever for localized JRPGs.
