Ah, the Wii U.
It was such a letdown for me after loving the Wii, and the droughts were horrible, yet I cannot deny I loved games like BOTW, Bayonetta 2, Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, 3D World, Captain Toad, Black Ops II, Fatal Frame 5, etc on it.
It was such a terrible concept, and it's completely understandable that it flopped in sales. It was a dark age for Nintendo that I never wish to return to. And still, I cannot bring myself to hate it, because for all its faults I did have some great times with it.
It went down in flames, taking a whole era of Nintendo with it, so that the Switch could rise like a phoenix from the ashes, and usher in a better future.
