So, all in all, there’s still plenty of great games to play on that definitely real and not emulated Wii U of yours. And let’s not forget that the Wii U was also backwards compatible with all the best Wii games, and the Wii accessories. The Wii U was home to some stellar titles over the course of its lifespan some of which fans - including me - are still desperate to see come to the Switch. However, that's no reason to consign this strange little box and gigantic tablet completely to the history books.

It was perceived as lacking power compared to the PS4 and Xbox One, and considering its lineup of games at launch weren’t exactly the best, the writing was on the wall pretty quickly. The Wii U didn’t quite fly off the shelves upon release.

The wild success of the original Wii was never going to be an easy act to follow, but it’s pretty plain to see how this oddball console was the foundation of Nintendo’s latest bit of hardware, the Switch.
