The problem with the Wii U is it wasn't just another underpowered Nintendo console. It was an underpowered Nintendo console that games had to be completely different or specifically designed for to truly take advantage of.

Here's my thing, so many Wii games that leaned too heavily into the Wiimote were annoying. I don't necessarily believe games leaning more into the game pad would've made them enjoyable experiences. I think it's just nostalgia. We remember things like Wii sports because it was fun and everyone had it, not because it used the Wiimotes.
