''Most WiiU games don't actually use the second screen much... And more yet would allow you to play your games exclusively on the handheld.
It was a pretty solid hybrid console all things considered, but it did have some strict limitations... Not to mention a failure on Nintendo's behalf to market it appropriately.

Graphics has been an Achilles heel for Nintendo since the 6th gen, nothing is changing there anytime soon.''

This was the biggest wiiU problem, some games use it, some don't, some allow the pro controller, some don't, some allow wii nunchunks, some don't, some allow to play the whole game on the gamepad, some don't, some you have an option on screen to switch the screen to gamepad, others you use the select button, others you into the options menu, its too confusing and a huge mess, people like consistency, and wiiU failed hard at that.

Graphics for wiiU were actually great, it came 1 year before the ps4, it was the first time we played Nintendo games in HD, games such as Mario kart 8, super Mario U and pikmin 3 look miles better than their predecessors, the difference is massive, I remember being in awe with the graphics, but most of all, the quality of the sound, I never see anyone mention this but the audio from wiiU was way better than xbox 360 and ps3, I have a 5.1 system that cost me around 1000 dollars.

The graphics jump from wii to wiiU is bigger than from ps3 to ps4, its a jump from 480p to 1080p, while on playstation the jump was from 720p to 1080p, its noticeable to me because I game on 120inch screen.
