The fact that the Wii U was backwards compatible with the Wii was a huge reason I bought it. Major upgrade, plus I could still play all the Wii games I'd bought. If it weren't for terrible marketing (a pretty rare thing for Nintendo) that alone should have made it a best-seller.

There is no reason I can think of to buy a Wii over a Wii U. Plus, with the Wii U, you get to play a bunch of games that also got ported to the Switch -- Mario Kart 8, Breath of the Wild, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, etc.

How is the Wii-U regarding to controllers? It is a console I got very little info, and I can see they connect to a wiimote?

The main point for the wii would be price, as a second hand wii with controllers I think it will be about 100, whilst the Wii U I think it can be around 200. And at that point, getting the switch is very tempting.

Yes, it uses the Wiimotes, Nunchuks, and Pro Controller -- I didn't upgrade my controllers at all. I can't remember if it came with a Wiimote, but you're going to want at least one if you plan on multiplayer.

If the Switch is in play, I'd honestly go for that. Like I said, a lot of the early releases were the best Wii U games (sometimes upgraded, like more tracks in Mario Kart 8), or sequels to the best Wii U games -- "Splatoon" was hands down my favorite Wii U title (best multiplayer shooter since Battlefield 1942, IMO), and I've thought about picking up a Switch just for Splatoon 2&3.

The switch is in place yes. Those are the prices I got on my mind:

Wii U console: 70 pounds

Wiimote + nunchuck: 15 × 2 = 30 pounds

Wii U pro controller: 25 pounds

That makes about 130 pounds...

Thw switch oled can be obtained by 270 pounds... And the switch pro controller don't look that uncomfortable as the wiimote...
