The Wii U is a great game console and how consoles have changed

Since 2012,Nintendo's eighth generation game console;the Wii U launched and (so far) after two years,it has had a lot of great games on it despite people are given the console a lot of rubbish as others state that it is not on the same level as the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One despite being in the same generation.

Game consoles feel like media centres since they do more things just not playing video games as this as changed since the PlayStation 2 back in 2000 which had a built-in CD and DVD player,but also had backwards compatibility whereas its competition at the time,the Sega Dreamcast could only play games and had a built-in CD player.The problem was that the PlayStation 2 was the cheapest DVD player making it feel the Dreamcast was obsolete by Sony fans.It sometimes feels that people buy video game consoles for multiple things instead of using for the main thing which is to play video games.

With the Wii U,most people don't even though that it is exists or think that the Wii U gamepad is an add-on for the Wii which it isn't.Things have changed for Nintendo since the Wii as most people who bought were casuals and just wanted a 'quick gaming fix' whilst most hardcore gamers never followed on the 'Wii train' and never felt that it was never a mature game console which it did have a few mature gems on it.Now-a-days,most others think Nintendo make a lot of mistakes especially with the Wii U as it is not a successful console and is a shame.A lot of great exclusives and a lot of great memories (so far)!I still love Nintendo since the N64 and always prefer when a new game console.Keep up the good work!
