The only reason I bought a Wii U back in May 2014, was because Asda were selling the Mario Kart 8 bundle edition that also came with New Super Mario Bros. U, for £199. I was really bored and MK8 looked great, so I thought £199 for a newish console with two quality games was an attractive price. Luckily, I loved MK8 and played it online through the summer onwards having a great time. I will cherish those memories because MK8 is such a fantastic game in all areas; it's a modern game I actually really enjoy and still go back to.
After that, I bought a few Wii U games that I thought looked good and were fun to play. Then when Nintendo said it was going to end production of the machine and bring out the Switch, I looked at the machine's catalogue and ended up with a collection of around 22 games that appeal to me.
It's a shame that Breath of the Wild hadn't been available in 2013, because it would have really helped the Wii U find an audience. I don't think it would have ever been a popular console for various reasons, but it could have had more success if Nintendo had delivered more enticing games during the first two years of its life.
