I have a Wii U (modded) but a stock Wii U, its still not the best but if you mod it it would be the best Nintendo console to have. It can play all Nintendo games *even GCN and NDS* the online might be taken down but there is a fan services called
pretendo *not all games are supported but the main one are* I don't know much about PlayStation 1 and 2, OG Xbox, and Dreamcast emulation. and the icing on the cake you can make your Wii U game pad in to a "steam deck" using moon cast or stream (I forgot the name) as long as it near the console it self for example: "the Wii u in you bed but your PC is in a other room". so that's my defense of the Wii U
