There was no love for the Wii U during its era but now with its era gone, suddenly people love the Wii U now.
I don't even get the love of the Wii U.
Like, it was so far behind the other consoles, at least its hardware was comparable to the previous era of the consoles like PS3 and Xbox360. Meanwhile, Sony was even busy developing PS4 Pro which had 4K.
The Wii U had nothing interesting. I don't even understand what was Nintendo thinking naming their new console like that. I'm sure many people thought it's just some modified version of the Wii and that's why they didn't buy it. However, even if this had a better marketing, the competition was just too strong back then.
