I love you, you know.
More of an indictment of just how shytty the Wii U was, rather than an indication of just how awesome the Switch is.
I honestly didn't even hear about the Wii u until years after it came out.

I know Nintendo doesn't make them anymore, but what are the chances of the Wii U's price dropping at online retailers? I would like to try it out but looks like it's still full retail price, if not more.

Their messaging when they revealed the Wii U was so bad. I remember being on several gaming forums during the E3 presentation and when they showed the Wii U, everyone had the same exact reactions.
"Wii U is the shyttiest name I've ever heard."
"Is this a Wii add on?"
"Where's the console?"
"Why do the games still look like Wii games?"
If Nintendo failed to convey the message of the Wii U to gaming enthusiast's, there was no way they were gonna have a shytty time trying to get the mass casual market on board.

While their marketing was abysmal, "Gamers" making those statements were mostly being facetious and wilfully ignorant.

Forgot to mention that it wasn't just gamers either, the press, both mainstream and gaming were calling the Wii U an upgraded Wii. Even Fallon called it a Wii add on during The Tonight Show, right in front of Reggie and he didn't even bother to correct him.

Mainstream marketing for the wii u was terrible, and the name really didn't help but gaming enthusiasts should have known what it wasForgot to mention that it wasn't just gamers either, the press, both mainstream and gaming were calling the Wii U an upgraded Wii.

I bought a Wii U. My first Nintendo console is the NES. Had a few good games but was a shytty console all around. My Mario 3D World and New Super Mario discs don't even work anymore and both are in pristine condition. fukk Nintendo.
I don't care what anybody says. I'll never sell my Wii U. People may shyt on it but the exclusive library alone makes it worth owning. Games like FE# were some of my favorites last generation and those won't get ported to the Switch without major reworking because of how the gamepad was used.
