| == Reason for failure ==
| |
| The [[Wii]] lasted 4 years selling very well and then it fell into oblivion leaving a great impact on [[Nintendo]], so the teams of Nintendo Co Ltd. wanted to reuse the great success that Wii had creating the Wii U that would be the Pro version of the Wii, and so was born the Wii U that pretended to be the new star console of nintendo at that time replacing the Wii catalog to Wii U,
| |
| The Wii U was seen for the first time at Nintendo of America's E3 2011, betting heavily with New Super Mario Bros U and Mario Kart 8, both of which were extremely high-quality games,
| |
| but with the Wii U catalog (Wii Party U Etc.) they were almost the same as the [[Wii]] catalog and that was one of the main reasons for the failure of Wii U and when the inevitable happened and the console was discontinued nintendo suffered almost the same blow than the Wii but thanks to the failure of Wii U nintendo learned from its failures and that is why when the [[Nintendo Switch|Switch]] came out it became a resounding success for nintendo.
| |
| | |
| == Games ==
| |
| Nintendo did not want to lose money with the games that were released for the Wii U so they came up with the great idea of transferring the games from Wii U to the [[Nintendo Switch]] and some called them with the nickname '' Deluxe '' and there those games they gained a lot of popularity, | |
| | |
| == Facts about metroid ==
| |
| The Wii U had the [[Metroid Prime: Trilogy]], Metroid Prime Metroid Prime 2: Echoes & Metroid Prime 3: Corruption in HD So the trilogy there is called `` Metroid Prime Trilogy HD '' making the Wii U the second nintendo console with more metroid games being tied by the Switch and surpassed by the Wii.
