Many wrong point in your thread.
n64 had several epic milestones+systemsellers in gaming.
Mario64,Zelda oot,Wave Race,Golden Eye,Perfect Dark ,mario cart
+ great titles like ISS,blast dozer,dk64,Jet force Gemini,Turok,Conqer,Starfox a etc etc
+proof that analog controller is must have
Wii U has 0 milestones + systemsellers,
+2 great games(mario3d,pikmin)
+ no proof why tablett controllet is superior must have
Another difference:
N64 had just one competitor(saturn was no competition):playstation+ the playstation was newcomer then and .
nintendo almost monopolist.
Now Nintendo has to deal with 2 strong competitors,Monopol long gone.Now playstation is synonyme for homeconsoles and MS has unlimited advertising money+ directly trying to grab nintendos casual gamers with kinect2.
When n64 was released everyone knew its a new console.Many people still think wii u is a wii tablett add on.
Considering all these facts + that most potential systemsellers(MH,DQ,Mario 2/3d,pikmin,etc) already were released without selling systems and only 2 potential syetem sellers remaining(zelda,mario cart) and zero 3rd partie support+ the momentum of new consoles(ps4/x1)that is turning attention away from nintendo
it is likely that wii U is no way n64-2.It won't sell half as much system as n64 if mario cart fails to create a hype.
