re: In DEFENSE of the Wii U - Why it Was Good for Nintendo and the Switch

They did plenty of advertising for the WiiU about how you could transfer the main display to the game pad and free up the TV for someone else to use. The idea was definitely there even with the WiiU to have the ability to detach your console gaming experience from the TV.

but it seemed secondary. the tutorial shows you this as well, but they emphasized the dual screen like the other idea was just a perk.

I said this about the switch from the beginning...this is the first Nintendo console where the gimmick was more than just a gimmick. I've played south park on ps4 since I've had the switch and when my wife was out of town.

even then it bothered me that it wasn't as quick and easy to start using as the switch and that I couldn't take it anywhere.
