I'd say yes.
When I got my Wii U on launch day in 2012, I played a ton of Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros. U. But then my Wii U collected dust until Super Mario 3D World released in November of 2013. I know there was TWW HD a month earlier, but I wasn't very excited for it back then and didn't pick it up until 2016. From 2014 through 2016, I played my Wii U a ton. DKC Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and Twilight Princess HD kept me very entertained.
Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, and Super Mario Maker are my biggest time sinks. I have over 120 hours on Mario Kart 8 and loved playing it with some ZDers including Krash, Locke, and Josh when it came out in 2014. The other two games were big surprise hooks for me. I did not expect Splatoon to be as much fun as it was. I was skeptical of the initial reveal at E3 2014 but have since put around 100 hours into it. As for Super Mario Maker, I came into it thinking I would play some levels here and there but I became addicted to making levels of my own. I believe I have around 35 levels made right now.
I haven't played as much on my Wii U since the Switch came out, but I go back for the occasional romp in the original Splatoon or some Smash Bros. to keep me busy until Ultimate comes out. I also still need to beat the HD Zelda remakes as I lost interest relatively early on since I didn't feel like revisiting them at the time as well as Xenoblade Chronicles X and Star Fox Zero so I still have quite the backlog.
