Wii U seems to have a bad reputation

Well I'm a PC gamer. Give me a mouse and keyboard over a console controller any day.

That said a few years ago we got a Wii mostly for the wife, but I ended up loving it. It was simple and it was fun.

I haven't spun it up yet as my home theater isn't quite done, but I recently bought a Wii U thinking it's newer, used HDMI, was HD, and would still run the classic Wii games.

Then after buying it I started reading up on it and it frankly seems like a mess. Some games are in HD, some aren't, you have to look at 3rd party lists to see what's what. Some games run online only, others are traditional. Running original Wii games involves some effort. And the killer, there's been almost no Wii U specific games made. I mean it's literally a handful.

But on the flipside I'd never buy a PS4 or Xbox as I'd much rather run the titles released on them on my PC.

I'm hoping whatever Nintendo releases next returns to the simplicity of the original Wii.
