Wii vs Wii U is interesting I guess.

Hardware

Wii U > Wii (Wii U was a good sized upgrade even if it was still competitively outdated), Wii was a repackaged GameCube basically.

Software

Splatoon > anything new on the Wii
Mario Kart 8 > Mario Kart Wii
Bayonetta 2 = Metroid Prime 3 (the token Nintendo "hardcore" title).
NSMBU > NSMB Wii
Nintendo Land > Wii Sports/Fit (Sports/Fit might be more casual, but NL is the better overall game).
Xenoblade X < Xenoblade Chronicles
Mario 3D World < SMG 1&2
AC Amiibo Fesitval < AC City Folk
Smash U > Smash Wii
DKC: Tropical Freeze > DKC Returns
Mario Maker > any remaining major Wii title

Misc. Nintendo IP ...

Captain Toad + Yoshi's Wooly World + Star Fox 0 + Devil's Third + Pikmin 3 + Wonderful 101, LEGO City
vs
Kirby's Epic Yarn, The Last Story, Excite Truck, Punch-Out!, Endless Ocean 1/2, Sin & Punishment

That's pretty close, I'd say Wii has a small edge here, but Pikmin 3 is probably the best game of that bunch.

Nintendo Land doesn't even come close to Wii Sports. I played Nintendo Land a total of two sessions with friends, Wii Sports i played for years. Also you forgot Zelda Skyward Sword. And comparing two great Galaxy games to one Mario 3D World game doesn't add up.

The fact is Wii's motion controls were a succes and Wii-U's tablet controller isn't.
