I believe it.  It was honestly a much better system than people give it credit for.  I also have around 40 physical games for it.  EA may have only released 1 Madden NFL on it as I said, but my friend and I still play it to this day (well up until the stay home orders the pandemic brought on).  Having a touch screen that I can draw hot routes on for my receivers at the line of scrimmage was an amazing innovation, and you can do the same with making changes on the fly to blitz packages or coverage on defense.  Aside from the gaming aspect, I also used the Wii U gamepad as my default web browser for years.  Larger screen than my phone, and easier to just pick-up the Gamepad from right next to me to look something up than to get up and turn on my PC and pull out my keyboard and mouse.  It was also my go to for Netflix and YouTube for a long time before I upgraded to a smart TV a couple of years ago.  Some of the Gamepad lives on in the form factor & touchscreen utility of the Nintendo Switch in portable mode, so I'm glad that Nintendo managed to successfully merge the two states (console & portable).  

There is so many good stuff you can do with the touchscreen on WiiU (or touchpad on PS4) but because of it not being industry standard almost no one cared to use that is sad. And there haven't been a NHL game for Switch yet? Because I believe similar stuff could be done on it.

No NHL, no Madden...  EA limited their support to a couple of FIFA releases and that was it.  It's a shame, because the 2K ports of NBA have been excellent on the Switch.
