Yeah, which of those would you say “Oh boy, I’m going to spend several hundred dollars on a new console so that I can play THIS game”?
The Wii U had no killer app. The Gamecube had a stronger library throughout its life than the Wii U did. The Wii U was the thing they were also making during the 3DS era. Hell, the big game that was developed for the Wii U, Breath of the Wild, became a killer app for the Switch.
Given a Wii U and a collection of games for it, you can have some fun, certainly. It also has access to the Wii’s library, being essentially a Wii with an HDMI port, and it can access a lot of the older Nintendo library in a way that the Switch stubbornly doesn’t. A modded Wii U is a pretty cool thing to have. The Wii U had an abysmal career but it lived so it could retire.
