I bought my Wii U to play games I wouldn't be able to play if I skipped it, otherwise, why buy it? Three years is nothing. Plus, all other Nintendo systems had proper exclusives. The Wii U was a scam.

Tell you what.  Start skipping all consoles....just in case those games become available on future consoles.  But be careful, that next console might have its games ported to the generation after.   I guess you should just stop playing video games.  It's the only way to be sure.

There is a world of difference between remasters a decade later and a Deluxe edition one or two years later that pretty much forces you to buy the game again if you want to keep playing online.

Ad the only games that interested you were an unreleased Zelda and Mario Kart 8? Then you shouldn't have bought it, even if those games were exclusive it wouldn't have been worth your money.

If you did, it's your fault. Think better next time.

Another question: Would backward compatibility also ruin your enjoyment of a console? I guess millions of Wii user felt betrayed since those new WiiU user could play their then exclusive games...

Nintendo promised support despite the console tanking, Nintendo released big games such as Super Mario 3D World, the least they should have done is release an exclusive Zelda and an exclusive Mario Kart. It's not my fault they failed to do the bare minimum despite them promising they would.

Oh and there is a big difference between backwards compatibility and evil Deluxe remasters. If you skipped the Gamecube and bought a Wii, you had to pay an arm and a leg for most Gamecube games, because they weren't reprinted. You didn't get any free DLC, any extra content, not even prettier graphics. Most gamers missed Mario Kart Double Dash and Zelda Wind Waker and tons of exclusives games. That's why everyone is so fond of the Gamecube.

On the other hand if you skipped Wii U you still had Zelda, you don't have to buy Mario Kart 8 twice, you don't have to buy Pokken Tournament twice, you got Splatoon 1.5, plus more ports that haven't been announced yet. If you have a 3DS, you got the complete versions of Hyrule Warriors and Yoshi's Wooly World. On the other hand what did you miss if you skipped the Wii U... oh Nintendo Land, filler garbage, and that's about it.
