I think software played a larger issue than people think, but Wii U obviously had some marketing issues too.

Switch 2 is simple and it works. No reason to not do the obvious. Unless you're really changing the hardware just slap a 2 on it.

they should really consider reusing the linked ad.

...also, yeah, Wii U is by far Nintendo's weakest system from a software perspective. 2013 was completely empty besides Pikmin 3 (July) and SM3DW (November), 2014 was good but still a far cry from Nintendo's usual output, 2015 had Splatoon and Mario Maker, and 2016 was completely dry. The highs were not super high (Pikmin 3, SM3DW, Mario Maker, Splatoon, MK8 (which only released with like 16 tracks(?))), and the lows were catastrophically low.

I wonder what would've happened if they launched with BOTW, Splatoon, and Mario Maker in year one. Alas, we will never know.
