Those are the games you are going to claim make the Wii U unique?

Mario Kart 8 steering wheel? People that like to use steering wheels use them for games like Forza and Gran Turismo as well, so that's already possible and has been done plenty of times on other consoles and PC.

Super Mario World, any controller + gamepad? I don't even get why that's a good thing. Most people would just pick one controller and stick with it, if it can be used with other controllers that they don't care about why would they even care? Smae for Donkey Kong, except in that case if people wanted the feel of a classic NES controller they could just... ya know... play a NES maybe?

Windwaker HD, a tiny gimmick control? Not to mention the PS4 can do this with its touchpad as well...

All the others... does anyone even care anymore? Judging from the huge drop in sales from Wii to Wii U... nope.

At lesst 7 million people care.

So the Wii U is not unique is what you are saying?

The point he's making is that software - not hardware - makes unique games. You can use all gimmicks in the world, but unless software is good, it won't take you anywere. Just like the example of Mario Kart 8 steering wheel. People also uses steering wheel on Forza or Gran Turismo games, but if those games weren't good on their own, people wouldn't feel compelled to use it. Just like with Mario Kart 8.

Which takes us to the main point. If software is the one that makes unique games, shouldn't Nintendo strive to grab all the games they can get? First, Second and Third party. There shouldn't be the need for discrimination.

I don´t think it´s about unique games per se but about creative ways to play and interact with games. So not the games itself but the way you play them. I also have to agree with Nintendos appraoch, better graphics just won´t do it for me anymore

I would to a degree, agree with this. Nintendo makes the innovations and then makes games for the innovations. There's only so many ways to change up how to play games with a dual shock. 

There are only so many ways to play a game with a gamepad as well, it's the very reason that 99% of the games on the Wii U, DS, and 3DS, Nintendo games included, use the bottom screen for nothing more than a second display like a map or a quick menu.

You mean like how each different Nintendo console has largely similar experiences?  Mario Kart Wii vs MK7 vs MK8.  Mario Party 8 vs Mario Party 9 vs Mario Party 10.  New Super Mario Bros, vs NSMB Wii vs NSMB 2 vs NSMB U.  

This gen you're getting more exclusives with different gameplay right now.  The Wii U has been out for two years after all, and Sony no matter the console is slow to get on the ball.  Compare the Wii to the PS3 last gen.  The PS3 exclusives last gen had the widest variety of gameplay compared to the other two consoles.  You had games with various gameplay stytles.  The PS4 already has a wide variety of "exclusives" though already released, or release in the near future.  Exclusives you just happened to ignore in your small list of "versus" comparison.
