Personally, the Wii U is not a system I look back on favourably; the 4 years I spent with it as my main console felt like serving 4 years in prison.
Yeah, it had some fine games; I thoroughly enjoyed the likes of Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, and Breath of the Wild. But these bright spots were by far outweighed by the horrible droughts, the constant delays and disappointments, the amount of uninspired/unambitious software, etc. Nintendo had lost their way and they consistently failed to listen to consumers and give us what we wanted.
Miiverse was lame and overrated in my opinion. Yeah there were some funny posts from time to time, but for the most part it was like Facebook for fanboys and annoying meme kids. About my only positive recollection of it was joining with other disgruntled owners to spam Fatal Frame 5's Japanese page with posts begging for is localization, which I like to think played a role in them bringing it over, since for a time our posts actually outnumbered the legitimate posts by Japanese owners.
Looking back on my time with the system, I think I'd say it was 30% awesome, 70% awful.
As such, I can't see I'm sorry to see Wii U go; it's a system and an era I am glad to be able to put behind me.
