After the Wii, but before the Switch, Nintendo released the Wii U. Not just a touchpad controller for the Wii, but a console with its own library and its own identity. However poor sales, and the fact that many of its titles have been ported to Switch, leave the Wii U in the dust of obscurity.

Matt & Gen are joined by Jacob McCourt for a console retrospective on Nintendo's lowest selling non-portable gaming system. The Gamepad provided unique and fun game experiences. Many fantastic series got their start here, or have a unique entry that lives exclusively on the Wii U. Lowest selling console, perhaps, but not least loved.

You can find Jacob on Bluesky, and links to his works here!

When traversing a 3D world in games, it's as important to enjoy your character's movement as it is to just enjoy your character.
