Why do people miss the Wii U era? It sucked.
>>
Funny how you didn't add Splatoon, MK8, Smash Wii U, Xenoblade X, or 3D World in your image.

Star fox zero was good just not enough content only noobs complain about having to learn controls unique to a game that's why games are becoming so homogenized and samey cause even one stray away from "good controls" and the normies are in an uproar i bet you think super ghouls and ghosts has bad controls just because they don't let you zippity doo dah zippity day all over the board and have actual rules like a real game would you think monopoly should just let you land on any space you like at any time because any inconvinience to you is bad game design making you learn anything is bad game design so you also think life is unfair because everything isnt just handed to you stupid commie yeah if you dont like star fox zero you are a commie i have people like you figured out now try to better yourself

Cherry picking the worst games(though I do like Star Fox zero) is not an accurate representation of that era.

You can cherry pick Nintendo published dogshit in every console generation.

I suspect many didn't own a Wii U when it was contemporary and so have no frame of reference for how miserable it was. This is also likely why (for example) you only ever hear about how nice the UI looked and not how slow and generally bad it was to actually use. People countering that the games in that pic are cherrypicked is somewhat valid, but they also aren't mentioning that they comprise a disproportionately high amount of first party releases by virtue of how few games the Wii U had relative to most Nintendo systems or how scattershot Wii U era Nintendo's output generally was both in terms of quality and the frequency with which they released. Currently, you get an average of first party game a month (sometimes more) and you can generally bet that it'll be at least good by any reasonable standard. Then, you were sometimes waiting as many as four months and at the end of it you'd get Game & Wario.

Also worth noting as an aside that, with pretty much the sole exception of paid online, virtually every business practice of theirs which people who big up the Wii U era often claim to hate originated there. You would never hear the end of it if they were to release something like Amiibo Festival now.

An average of one*, rather.

Xenoblade Chronicles X alone made the console worth buying.
3D World, Tropical Freeze, Wonderful 101 were also great. and the usual NSMB, MK, Smash.

I'll admit it was a poorly handled console but I had a good time with it in spite of things.

They liked it because Nintendo stuff was cheaper and Nintendo had to try harder to get people to play their games so there was a lot of good deals.
That's it, they memory hole anything that was actually bad about that era.

Mario Kart 8's release was great, because they gave you a second game of your choice for free. Switch-era Nintendo would never.

Second best StarFox besides StarFox 2
Mario Party clone but the characters are furry and generally more fuckable.
Chibi Robo finally returning
Splatoon
