I liked the Wii U a lot.  But, that gamepad seemed so dated, even at launch.  Paper thin tablets were becoming popular, and here comes a game system with a giant, bulky controller thing with a (relatively) small screen in it.  It just wasn't cool.  It's like the tech world passed them by during their R&D stage, but they decided to run with it anyway.  

Having not tried much of the Switch I do not know how good, good can be. So I love the gamepad, despite being bulky.

I liked the Gamepad.  The off-TV play was great, as was two-screen play (in theory, anyway). But, me liking doesn't take away from its obvious lack of coolness.

Yeah you can, but I don't know it's not the same as the Wii U. The U just has a special kind of charm to me at least

My complaint was only that some games REQUIRED the gamepad to be your controller.  I realize that some games utilized it as a map or whatever... but to me, it just wasn't comfortable as a controller.

I bought Paper Mario Color Splash and Darksiders Warmastered Edition last year ( I don´t remember exactly when, but it was before September ). I´m yet to play those games, though....

I had to move and where I live now, there´s no room to hook up all my consoles, so I have not been playing any WiiU games. As soon as I move to my own apartment, I´ll make a setup and will be able to play it again and finally finish Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I really miss playing on the WiiU

 

I still want to buy Devil´s Third and Lego Dimensions, if I´m able to find a copy for a reasonable price. Those games are sort of rare.

If you're short on space, doesn't the ability to play without a TV help?

Ubisoft seems to be having a sale right now on the Wii U shop.

Assassin's Creed III - $5
Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag- $5

I already owned Rayman Legends. I have never played the others, so I bought those.

Iirc you had a massive digital wiiu collection. Isn't Devils third on eShop?

I have a massive digital collection and I never got Devils third either. My reason was that it got delayed in north america and I spent my money on other games.

I just pulled my WiiU out of the box for the first time in almost 2 years. My friend and I were missing the simultaneous multiplayer games that it was known for. Mario 3D World is a blast with multiple players.

Haven't bought a WiiU game since Breath of the Wild

I am the proud new owner of Super Mario Maker for the Nintendo Wii U.

Bought the Wii U's biggest and most ambitious exclusive game a couple of days ago: Xenoblade Chronicles X.

I'll probably play it 3 years down the line, but then again... I bought the Wii Xenoblade Chronicles in 2013 and I've only played around 3 minutes of it.

Just bought Rodea the Sky Soldier, let's see how bad the Wii U version compares to the Wii one. :)
