TONS of Reasons Why The Wii U Failed in Under a Minute... 

I like the Wii U myself. It has some great games, an awesome Virtual Console, and backwards compatibility with the Wii! It was very well worth it for me

“The Wii U outsold Sweden” Scott Wozniak

The Wii U is so nostalgic for me! Ur my favorite RU-vidr

The Wii U felt more alive and less lonely than the original Wii.

I think a very big reason you didnt mention is Nintendo taking down like every youtube video with any Nintendo games in them. They were actively discouraging people trying to tell about their games they love

One feature that I liked but didn't use enough was that some games were also 3DS compatible and can be played on the Wii u with the 3DS; like super smash bros. That feature with both of those systems had a lot of potential

Nintendo did the Wii U dirty it had great games and a great controller, they just didn’t know how to sell it

Back then, I loved the wii u commercials, but that might be because I was 8

Wii U is a perfect example of how much more creative older things were, they packed a lot more features thanks to that. Having the second screen, TV remote, stylus and all that in your controller is amazing to me to this day.

Wii party (Wii U addition) was such a fun game to play with friends and family ngl

If it weren't for the Wii U, there'd be no Switch

I LOVE the wii U games. Mario maker, wind waker hd, Skylanders trapteam.. That not counting that you can play wii games (pokepark is my personal favorite)

I’m 12 and used to have a Wii U. It broke due to a memory issue. After years of failure, I finally managed to emulate Wii U games on my PC. My favorite game right now is Super Smash Bros, specifically the Wii U version.

It seems like the Wii U commercials have at the very least shown that kids are not the only ones interested in Nintendo as some annoying people say sometimes.

Wii U was really an unfortunate console. Lots of mistakes and marketing blunders turned this into a very underrated and underappreciated console.

3 big why it failed 1. Price 2. No one really Finder out what was it 3. Power Bonus. Not many good games

The Wii U's PowerPC chip was interesting to me, Nintendo has been using IBM PowerPC CPUs since 2001. Something interesting about the Wii (and maybe the Wii U) is that you can run Mac OS 9 on it with minimal emulation

Wii U deserved love

I hate everyone who hates Wii U

I Got a Wii U back in 2016, a whole year before it was discontinued and the The Nintendo Switch Came out!

My dumbass thought he meant it failed in 60 seconds 💀💀

I LOVED the Wii U got it for Christmas 2015

The Wii U menu music tho it gives me chills

I don’t think anyone over the age of 10 should buy something after they see a ad that says “hot buttered popcorn that’s a deal”

Three words free online gaming

Super Mario Maker was not immediately ported to the 3DS. Nor was Yoshi's Wooly World, the only other game that was ported to the 3DS. SMM: September 2015 for Wii U and December 2016 for 3DS YWW: June2015 for Wii U and January 2017 for 3DS

The ads were crazy

I love how no one brings up how shitty the connection it had to the port was. Move that thing like 5 steps away and it loses connection 💀

I used to have a Wii U years ago, before I got my finger hurt by putting a Nintendo Wii U disc in, and my mom had to sell it, because she didn’t want me hurting my finger on it again. I miss the Wii U😢😭😭😭. I wish my mom wouldn’t sell it if I hadn’t hurt my finger in the past.

I had never even heard of a wii u until I heard mention of it on the internet, which I'm pretty sure it was in the switch's early years.

The WiiU was me and my siblings first TV console, even with all the consoles we have now the WiiU still is at the top for us. Heavily Underrated Console.

I became a Nintendo fan in 2015 at the age of 8. I saw the Wii U and thought it was really cool. My dad was like “why don’t you get a PlayStation” and I said cause it can’t play Mario on it. Christmas that same year I got the MK8 Bundle with its dlc and NSMBU. One of my favorite Christmas’ of all time

2014-2017 was the best time for the Wii U

When I was younger I only wanted a Wii U for Mario 3D world lol

my child self liked the wii u commercials

I don’t get why people say it didn’t sell well, if you round it up to the nearest 27 millionth, you get 27 million

The Wii U is pretty decent. Sad to see a wonderful console wasted away.

I spent my early childhood with the wii u

Tears of the kingdom got more sales than the Wii U 😮

The game pad is the goat of controllers and color splash

My favorite games for WiiU (which is my second favorite console) are Smash 4, Super Mario Bros U, Super Mario Maker and Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival (The fact that I like Amiibo Festival makes it a little strange for me and maybe for others too)

I'm a Nintendo fanboy but the Wii U intro presentation and following ads just had me scratching my head. In actuality, it was the Switch ahead of its time. With more advance tech and better execution, the Switch pulled off what the Wii U could've been.

I never had a wii u but I did have a Wii no it’s somewhere never to be seen again😢

I was 6 when it came out and I really thought it was Wii accessorie

Even as a child the marketing was a really big deterrent for games like Splatoon.

Wii U had some good ports

"to introduce a new console as a new controller thats not a good sign" literally the switch: :0

Bro watch scott the woz 💀💀

Still would buy the wii u tbh

I didn't even know the Wii U was a different console I thought it was an expansion onto the Wii.

Oh well you know, games like yoshi's wooly world and mario maker didnt come to the 3ds until WAAAAAAAY after the wiiu's relevancy. This was mere moments before the switch's release. So the wiiu hadnt lost any sales from the 3ds ports

This and the Xbox one is what we had growing up😅so nostalgic and loved the video games lol

#1: Xenoblace Chronicles X #2: Virtual console #3: RIP 😭

And then they put 'U' after the games and were like "YA GUYS IT'S NEW IT'S NEW GIVE US MONEYY"

The wii u was my first console so i am Nostalgic

Still underrated

I love the wii u ads they’re so ridiculous

The most shocking part is it had decent games

In all those years Nintendo worked on the switch and looking back on it. It's insane so many IP's were revived and thanks to that we got Pikmin 4 and so many other great 1st party games that if weren't for the switch they would've never seen the light of day!

Reason 1to get a Wii U: S P L A T O O N

I wish all of the wii u features were on switch like virtual console and a proper home screen

I just stuck with my 3ds until the switch came out 😊

It’s weird because I actually knew a decent amount of people who owned a wii u

Splatoon sells it for me idc if it selled badly woomy is amazing

Wii U was the bestselling console back then

The Wii U (for me) is the best console Nintendo has made all of the online communities and getting to know people on Miiverse was the best, the music was the best, the games may not have been what you hoped for but they’re still pretty good and it created franchises such as Splatoon and Mario Maker and the compatibility to play the original Wii as well.

We don't talk about the virtual boy 😬

I miss playing Tomodachi Life because I don’t have a new Nintendo 3DS Xl anymore it’s broken

I was like 6 when the wii U dropped and I loved it when I got it but the fact they did good with one game commercial and that was the Mario kart 8 commercials

Me: I’ll have them all please

What if the mario + rabbids commercials were like that?

I bought A wii u almost solely to play Monster Hunter 3u online, I wish more 3ds games were cross save with it

this was my first ever console

I had the 3ds that time like the old 3ds and only had one game which I enjoyed

Why did I just now get a notification that this was uploaded even though I saw this before.

I think the dumbest feature they did and made mandatory was the fact that you NEEDED to use the gamepad and it's controls along with it. Made me not even consider buying it even after all these years but I got me a Wii though 😂

I own a wii u and played Minecraft on it, I can say I had the time of my life especially with the fun glitches

I loved my Wii U but I love the switch even more. I grew up playing a lot of skylanders games on there and Disney infinity with my mom. Sucks that it didn’t do well but I have so many memories with that console and the wii

I miss my Wii U, had it since 2015 n' tried selling it bundled with Mario Party 10, Mario Kart 8 and NSMBU+NSLU for like 150€, nobody bought it and I gave it to my twin cousins

I have alot of memories with my Wii u

Software sold more than the hardware? That’s gotta hurt and it’s kinda sad.

Where does everyone see the console and software sale images

i still got my wii u same as nintendo ds and especially the wii but now i mostly play on nintendo switch i miss wii party so much i never played the mario party games beside mario party superstars cmon nintendo bring back wii or just the mii characters

Hey, i got my wiiu with 9. now i am 14 and i am still play on it!

More like tons of reasons to insult 13.56 million people 💀

"Would you buy a wii u, xbox, or PS4?" Me: D, all of the above

I'm convinced that people who say the Wii U is their favorite console like it because of either nostalgia or novelty now that it's a bygone era.

I had all 3 of those consoles! The Wii U I played most often 😂

Wii u is cool except for how broken any and all homebrew is

It’s all redeemed because it has the wind waker HD

It’s sad how there are only about 10M working Wii U’s left.

I was 7 and a huge Nintendo fan when the Wii U came out, so of course that’s what I got. But I got a ps4 in 2019 and in retrospect, that’s what I would have gotten that Gen if I was older and could only pick one

I'd take any 2 first party Wii U games over the Xbox One and PS4's entire libraries.

Very surreal to think some Switch games sold better than the Wii U.

The Wii U had amazing games. Pikmin 3, super Mario maker, Super Mario 3D world, and you can play them in the switch! Pikmin 3 deluxe, super Mario maker 2. Super Mario 3D world and bowser’s fury, you name it!

I got the 3ds at that time

I really wanted a Wii U when I was a teenager, unfortunately it was too expensive for me

i love my wii u, even i don't own a lot of games on it. also i love the controller layout even on the wii u pro controller and used it on my pc and "switch".

Dont forget your a kid now your a squid now

I’d personally say it also has to do with the games themselves specifically how impressive they looked for example the main Mario game for the Wii u was 3D world and the main game for the switch was odyssey even for the Wii galaxy looked way more impressive than 3D world not saying it was bad but it was obvious that the biggest issue with the Wii u was the games were too similar to other Wii or 3ds games or no one really cared about them and actual new interesting games were released too late in the consoles’ life to impact sales.
