Nintendo has removed the WiiU website from Nintendo.com, along with all 7th Gen (Wii, WiiWare, DS, DSWare) games

Son - Mom, why do some Switch games say deluxe? I can't find any other versions.
Mother - Nintendo took a hiatus after the Wii to spend extra time on these games. There was nothing before the Switch.

Goodnight Sweet Prince.
As someone who used WiiU as an exclusives box, I actually really enjoyed it.

Loved and will forever like it more than the Wii (since it is also a Wii)... And Gamecube. Wii U Nintendo games are superb... So much that they become best sellers on Switch.
Has there been one Wii U game ported/remastered for Switch that hasnt trounced the Wii U version in sales and/or performance?
Man do I regret buying the Wii U. So much so that I havent bought a Switch yet and I have in the past bought every Nintendo system at launch.

Yo Mario Kart 8 was a great ass game
and Super Mario 3D World was good
and...Smash was fun?
Honestly I forget I even was a Wii U owner.

Man, not even Sony fans dunked on the Vita as hard as Nintendo fans that are gladly dunking on the WiiU now lol
Honestly, Wii games look very nice on that gamepad. Shame more stuff couldn't use the pad as a CC Pro...
Unless I misunderstood, the Wii U game pages are still on there, just not the game pages for Wii games (or the main Wii U hardware page). Please do correct me if I'm wrong, though. (This should also mean Wii games purchasable on the Wii U eShop are still listed, too.)
😭 You could have been so much more if you were just marketed correctly from day one.
I mean they did a superb job letting people know the Switch was new and different (like you can't frickin tell with a new name, a new look and it seems handheld till you put it to the tb and realise damn it's both)
All they had to do at E3 was Announce it was a brand new console.
The ads during and after release should have targeted to the audience like something out of the 90's " ⚠️This is NOT ❌ a Silly accessory for your Wii, NO this is a BRAND new console, with extra POWER 🔌🔋⚡️⚡️⚡️, new games, new accessories and new features "
"This is a WiiU, it has X the amount of POWERRRRR ⚡️⚡️⚡️ of the OLD Wii, now it's successor has ARRIVED, do "U" have what it takes to get to the NEXT LEVEL of gaming with power of the Nintendo WiiU"
Like the Wii, only Newer, buy Nintendo's new console the WiiU, to play new and exciting games NOT compatible with the OLD wii"
I mean they could have even done this a year and a half into release to boost it a bit.

"The all new Wii U gamepad controller", that just reinforced the confusion and the "Is this an add-on for the Wii?" even more. How they managed to screw it up so badddd with the marketing!? The Wii U should be used as an official subject on business degrees as a prime example of how not to promote your product.
That's primarily because a lot of Switch 1st-party games are WiiU ports and we need to defend those high prices!
Well yeah, they're not going to take down the pages for Switch titles,
Wii won't forget U.
I loved my Wii U and still enthusiastically collect for it. A cult curio item or non-starting also-ran, it's legacy is being a surrogate for select Switch standouts and a divisive controller that sank it.
The sooner all the gems sparkle on Switch too the better though. A spruced up 3D World with even a few more new playable characters would be quite the ticket.

Crazy to think that the Wii U ended up getting outsold by the NES & SNES mini (when combined); absolutely disastrous!
At least it's getting a second life now with the Switch, but it'll always go down as a massive missed opportunity. There's so much more that could've been done with its two screen gameplay that sadly we'll never get to see now. A real shame.

The Wii U is one of the few consoles that simply naming it the "Super Wii," "Wii 2," or something along those lines would have cleared up a lot of confusion and resulted in at least a few million more sales. It had other problems like the low specs, PS4 on the horizon, third party support, and a gamepad no one wanted, but the name had to be number one on the list of failures.
