Same here, I was just finishing university at that time, and it seemed like every student house had a Wii for party games, and for casual gaming while drinking and getting ready for a night out. Aside from that, I remember guitar hero being popular.

As for the Wii U, I think most people my age just moved on to a different step in our lives, we get together less often, and there just isn't the same interest or opportunities available for casual gaming with friends. I don't know what's happening with the younger generations, and what they're doing in university now.

Same here, but I actually have a WiiU. I think the big reason it's not as popular is because the main draw (casual gaming with friends at/before parties) is something the Wii does almost as well and everyone already has a Wii. So why bother with a WiiU?

Smash 4 and Nintendo Land are basically perfect party games. But the similar offerings on the Wii are so close to perfect you really don't need to switch up.
