I loved my Wii U. As you say, there were some amazing games. Nintendo Land was an underrated party game. I had so many nights of fun with friends playing Nintendo Land, Smash Bros Wii U, Mario Kart 8, and more. I won't deny Star Fox Zero was a major disappointment and pain in the ass with the controller gimmicks, but in general it was a fun console. At least Nintendo learned from it, the failure of the Wii U was probably 90% marketing. Not saying it could have done as well as the Switch, but it could have done way better had they presented and named it better.
