I actually got a Wii U on launch day and I was the first to post on here how Wii games were given a boost in resolution, lol. That being said, I sold the console probably within a years time but not because I didn't like it, I wasn't gaming as much and didn't have the funds to buy new games.
Flash forward a few years, I always wanted to get another one because of how much I loved ZombiU. Long story short, ended up getting one for ZombiU and BOTW, I'm now like 10+ games in and I cannot stop playing this thing. The Wii U is an amazing console, by any standard.
A few things I'd like to bring up,
Xenoblade Chronicles X is frigging amazing, the UI is fine, the OST is awesome, and the game isn't nearly as overwhelming as people make it out to be. Just gotta explore the menus a bit to see all the things you can upgrade, etc.
Paper Mario: Color Splash.....it should be considered criminal the way this game is trashed on the internet. It's so good! The music, the art style, gameplay, etc. So many people complain about the battle system menus, YOU CAN TURN OFF THE TOUCH CONTROLS. I dunno, I play this game for about an hour each night in bed and I am just loving it.
The tablet, why do people hate this thing? Yes, it's bulky and ugly, it's also a frigging tablet built into a game controller, I don't know what people expected it to look like? It's comfy as hell to me.
Playing Wii games on the tablet is a complete game changer, at least for Skyward Sword it is. It seems so insanely silly to think that playing a Wii game on a tiny screen would be a good experience but holy smokes, it really is! lol. Skyward Sword looks frigging amazing on the small screen and it's super responsive control-wise. I can't wait to try out Metroid Prime Trilogy.
I could go on and on but man, the Wii U is such an awesome system. I'm just blown away at all the stuff I missed out on and am glad I have the income now to where I can spend money on the Wii U in 2020, lol.
