PS2 and PS3 had massive libraries and tons of games weren't ported. Most Master System games weren't ported either. It's fine to port games, but a Nintendo system without an exclusive Zelda or an exclusive Mario Kart is garbage. And only companies with no business making games make bad consoles. They should have axed the Wii U right after launch but instead they lied to people promising actual support.

The while the library of games will end up quite small, the vast majority of Wii U games aren't going to be ported either. But just because a system failed does that mean its games should regulated to after thoughts of history even if they don't have to? The Dreamcast failed but most people enjoyed being able to get some of the nicer games for that platform on another console. In comparison the Saturn failed and most never have gotten the opportunity to play some of the classics on that system and would love to see them moved to another device.
So far we have Breath of the Wild, which is getting the same treatment as Twilight Princess and the GC - Wii launch got, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which is getting all the previous DLC plus a few new features such as the splatoon kids and Pokken Tournament, which is getting the arcade updates that were never added to the original home release. They tried to make it work for 3.5 years but could not do it, they thought the 3rd party support would help pick things up, it didn't and so they brought out a successor.
They did the same thing with Game Boy Color, which life was shorten so they could release the GBA to stay competitive with handhelds that came out in Japan. Same thing happened to the GBA for the DS which had a shorter run then it probably was intended to so they could compete on a closer playing field with the PSP. The Switch was done because they really needed to stay competitive and despite a good run with the Wii they were still having trouble doing so on their home consoles because of lack of third party support. So merge home and handheld together and hope to inherit all the 3DS and Vita market that is more valuable in Japan and home to indie titles that can help flesh out the calander. As a Wii U owner it does sort of suck but it is part of business and literally every company that releases hardware would do the same.

All other Nintendo systems (except the Virtual Boy, which was an experiment) had an exclusive Zelda, and all Nintendo home consoles since the SNES had an exclusive Mario Kart. GBC and GBA had an exclusive Zelda, and GBC had an exclusive Mario Kart and a much better library than Wii U. The very fact that the Wii U doesn't makes that console a piece of shit, and therefore Nintendo as a whole is shit. You cannot compare it to any other Nintendo system, this is the first time Nintendo makes a shitty system with hardly any exclusives and which will be remembered as a piece of shit because everyone got to play its games on Switch. The moment they decided to keep supporting the Wii U in 2013 is the moment they committed to support the system like every other Nintendo system, that means an exclusive Mario Kart and an exclusive Zelda REGARDLESS OF SALES. The way Nintendo treated Wii U customers is inexcusable. What any other company should have done would be either pull the system out of the market right after launch or support it properly, not pretend to support it and then shit on everyone who bought it.
And most Wii U games that didn't get ported are shitty ports of multiplatform titles. People bought the Wii U for exclusives, so those exclusives are the only games that count on the Wii U library. Take out every Wii U game that is multiplatform or ported to 3DS or Switch and pretend they don't exist and then you will realize Nintendo turned into shit. Iwata promised Wii U would be Gamecube 2, instead they turned the whole company into shit.
I'm fed up of people, specially Nintendo fans, who defend Nintendo's treatment of the Wii U. The Gamecube failed but it still had an exclusive Mario Kart and an exclusive Zelda, and the vast mayority of Nintendo's games on Gamecube were never ported to other platforms. That is why the Gamecube was such a great console and why Nintendo kept their reputation intact. Iwata promised to do the same with Wii U, then they shat on everyone and their own history by giving the Wii U such a shit support. When the Wii U only has Mario, Pikmin and shitty games nobody cares about as actual exclusives, that makes the entire company a piece of shit. Nintendo fans should be abandoning Nintendo like Sega fans abandoned Sega so Nintendo can stop ripping off customers with shit platforms they can't guarantee support, instead they support Nintendo's scamming of Wii U owners.
