The Nintendo Wii U is an eighth generation video game console designed and marketed by Nintendo Co. Ltd released in November in North America, and PAL regions, and released in December in Japan. The console was made to be a successor to popular Nintendo Wii which had sold 101 million units, however thanks to poor marketing, a confusing name which lead consumers to believe it was a new controller for the Wii, and poor third party support the Wii U was left in the dust by Sony's PS4, and even Microsofts poorly marketed Xbox one. By the end of its lifespan the Wii U had only sold 13 million units globally, and was considered a commercial flop by Nintendo. Former President of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime stated that despite its poor sales the Wii U would be remembered fondly by fans like the similarly poor performing Nintendo Gamecube, and he considered it a necessary step for the success of Nintendo's next major console, the Nintendo Switch.
"The Nintendo Wii U introduced an all new Gamepad controller with a touchscreen, and motion controls which allowed for asymmetrical multiplayer."

The Nintendo Badge Arcade was a Free-To-Play downloadable application for the 3DS. It's main purpose was to m̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶m̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ allow users to collect usable badges that they could put on their home screen. The game had around 9K badges, which is pretty cool, if it wasn't only available for 7 or so years (You had to pay money or else you could only use 2 machines per day, 4 if you're really lucky.). The badges were little PNGs of Nintendo's cash cows. (Mario, Pokemon, Animal Crossing ETC.). Some of them weren't useless and could be used as shortcuts to system applications like f̶a̶c̶i̶a̶l̶ ̶a̶t̶t̶a̶c̶k̶ Face Raiders or H̶u̶m̶a̶n̶ ̶O̶C̶ ̶C̶r̶e̶a̶t̶o̶r̶ Mii Maker.
I almost forgot that you could upload your badge/themes to Miiverse, and it could get curated by Nintendo, so thousands could see it.
