It's Funny you are ignoring the important question.
What about the *GIANT* list of games that are: www.AllConsolesButWiiU.com ?
Big list there.
Nintendo is a failing, out of touch company that doesn't seem to care about 3rd party software developers.
Not to mention there will be almost no new games for the WiiU as the NX has been announced.
So you agree the WiiU is reaching its end of lifecycle. If that's the case then it's fine for us and we want it that way so that Nintendo wouldn't blame us for wanting homebrew.
And Nintendo better luck with your NX. Hope you don't make the same mistakes again with your loyal customers and 3rd party developers.
You think Nintendo is fine with homebrew because a console (that is less than 3 years old) is reaching the end of its lifecycle? The same Nintendo that is shutting down speedrunning and romhacking channels? https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendo-closing-rom-hacking-and-speedrunning-channels.397021/

This is fantastic. I bought a Wii U (cheaply second hand) after I heard about Zelda U. Then when they changed the release year and there were rumours about it being for the NX I was pretty pissed off. So I stuck it in a cupboard and forgot about it. Now I'm going to actually be able to use it!!!!
Nintendo shouldn't be doing these cowardly actions. I have my reasons for wanting homebrew and one of them is Nintendo deceiving me with very few games and underexploited console. So you are, and (probably) every person here.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if the Wii U pottered along for three years with disappointing sales, then piracy is enabled and suddenly they are flying off the shelves?
You were deceived by Nintendo with very few (hundreds of) games? You were deceived by Nintendo with an underexploited console? That literally makes zero sense.
Wouldn't help it get more games. Wii U has zero third party support and Nintendo, as much as they would be happy to move some units, wouldn't use that as a reason to make better games for it. They have plans with NX and beyond.
I gotta agree with this, it seems silly to complain about the Wii U's library when the actual exclusives on both PS4 and Xbox One are really mediocre. And I do understand not everyone likes PC gaming, but if you have an alright PC it really makes almost no sense to go for PS4 or Xbone right now. Their actual offerings are dull. And this comes from someone who was really into the 360.
Well I don't see why you keep asking me questions. The point I was making : If the WiiU is to die soon then it wouldn't harm (Nintendo) hacking it for homebrew.
If you are satisfied with how many games (released this year for example?) for the WiiU, and the console not even being able to read mp3 files from HDD ... then good for you.

The Wii U is not going to die soon, so your argument is invalid. Even if the NX were to come out tomorrow, Nintendo would still be making games for it for a long time. They may make some poor decisions now and then (like every company/person) but they're not going to alienate all current Wii U owners by immediately stopping the production of new Wii U games.
Also... do more than a fraction of a percent of people really care about the ability to play mp3 files on a console? Anyone who can afford a $200+ console and its games can easily afford a super cheap mp3 player (assuming they don't already have one).

It does make a difference with the non gaming aspects of a console. My family upgraded from the N64 to the PS2 because it could play DVDs and the Wii couldn't. I then never saw a Nintendo console again until the year before last when I heard that my favourite game ever was remade on the 3DS (Ocarina of Time) so I bought one.
But he didn't mention DVDs, he mentioned mp3s. While the ability to play DVDs is a better argument, it's still not a strong one. Back then, sure, but nowadays DVD players (and even some bluray players) are cheap. And really, anyone who bought a PS4 or Xbox One over a Wii U because of the ability to play physical copies of movies doesn't care that much about the games itself, since there's huge difference between the ones available for each console.

I would have preferred to continue with the Nintendo thing but I wasn't the one with the money back then. Consoles need features that appeal to parents, also.
Another thing the Wii/Wii U is missing is the ability to be used as a media hub.
Nintendo seems to be a lot like Apple - they want to stay pure and beautiful and easy to use, but then they miss the obvious, like the ability to expand storage with a microSD slot!!!!!!!! Oops, I mean the ability to be used as a media hub... They miss the chance to be the absolute perfect console/phone by failing to have the one super easy feature that people actually want.
Yeah dude, who does nintendo think he is not exploiting their console huh? They should know better. I never understood why they never made their own backup launchers either making the non-paid 3rd party people do it... It's just thoughtless.
Come live in australia and say that. haha
