"Wii U doesn't have as many games That were unique"
I don't know about this. The WiiU has quite a number of console exclusives.
It has a goodish amount of exclusives, and they are high quality. However, they are not unique. Almost everything that is on Wii U, there is a 3DS counterpart
Super Mario 3D World-3D Land
I mean, this game uses the same mechanics as the 3DS version. Same controls, same everything, except for prettier graphics and better level design. This is not unique
NSMBU
Do I even need to explain this one?
Hyrule Warriors-Legends
The exact same game, just better, is on 3DS, with more characters, maps, mechanics and for a cheaper price as well.
Tropical Freeze-Donkey Kong Country returns
Tropical Freeze is a brilliant expansion to the returns formula, much like Donkey Kong Country 2 was. However, it is hardly unique to its Wii/3DS version.
Smash Bros Wii U-Smash Bros 3DS
This is the biggest mistake Nintendo has made. Their heaviest hitter could be played on the go. This took away so many sales from the Wii U it isn't even funny.
Star Fox Zero- Star Fox 64 3D
64 is not only complacent to Zero, in that it has the exact same story, setting, and levels. But 64 is the better game with better designed levels, more content, and it's cheaper to boot!
Mariokart 8-Mariokart 7
MK8 is one of the best mariokart games ever made. But Mariokart is still Mariokart. 7 uses many of similar mechanics as 8 and it is still fun.
Paper Mario Colour Splash-Paper Mario Sticker Star
Since fans loved sticker star so much, they decided to grace us with another one and dig Paper Mario's grave!
Tokyo Mirage Sessions-Shin Megami Tensei, and Fire Emblem and *insert amazing JRPG here*
You can get that amazing Shin Megami Tensei gameplay, and the amazing characters of Fire Emblem. All without having to deal with a forced JPop setting that is censored to hell! Not only that, but there are so many better JRPG's on 3DS, on both quality and quantity.
Zelda in general-
We have no unique games for Wii U on the Zelda front. Only remakes + a game with the superior version on 3DS.... 3DS has 2 unique Zelda games....
I have had fun with all these games. But these games are hardly original nor fresh. Sure, there are gems such as Mario Maker and Splatoon, but those are a far cry to the uniqueness that the GameCube or the Wii had. On those systems, every game felt different from its predecessors. But Nintendo just kept using the exact same gameplay from 3DS entries of the same series. So much so it almost invalidates a lot of what the Wii U does have.
Say what you want from Metacritic. And I fully understand the arguments against critics,
But when you have a system where out of the top 25 highest rated games on it, there are only 3 games that have unique gameplay experiences to other systems. That being, Mariomaker, Pikmin 3, and Bayonetta 2.

Again, I agree that critics aren't to be trusted and many more games deserve to be up there. However, this is the face of the company we are dealing with.
Wii U truly does not offer that many unique experiences, and I think that's complete fact. It's not to say that Wii U games aren't good. No, I love them. They just aren't unique, and you can get a very similar experience on another console, the 3DS.
