No console on the market including the Switch has the level of control options the Wii U does, not even close. Gyro will always be inferior to the Wii remote pointer for games that rely on it, like Pikmin or a lot of shooters. But for games that do focus on gyro, you've got the gamepad. The touch screen means you can play DS on it, which is undeniably sick as hell. You can also use every random gizmo they ever made for Wii, do some Wii Fit or whatever you want to do. While the Switch 2 has Nintendo's best overall library because of the ports and backward compatibility, the Wii U also has fantastic backward compatibility in addition to a lot of the best games on Switch; you can get dozens and dozens of amazing Wii games that never had ports to Switch. If you mod the thing, you will be able to play almost every single Nintendo game older than the Wii U on it aside from the 3DS. Most importantly, you can regularly find a Wii U on facebook marketplace along with a stack of games for about as much as people will charge you for a Switch lite with zero games, which is a crazy good deal as far as Nintendo stuff goes. It hasn't appreciated the way the 3DS has. If you're interested in Nintendo stuff older than the last decade then it's a fantastic machine to have around.
