Hooked up right next to my Switch and NES/SNES Classics. Still use it more than the Switch to be honest.

Where's your Wii U?

Mine is in the upstairs living room, actively being played by my daughter and wife.
It's easily got $1,000+ worth of games installed on it.

Mine is in it's box sitting in the closet with all my other systems currently not being used. I tend to only keep 1/2 systems out that I'm actively playing and put the rest away to keep them from getting damaged.
Sold for a PS3 early this year. No regrets, homebrew wasn't as seamless to use as I would have wanted and honestly I stop caring for it.
Sold mine as soon as the Switch released with MK8 and BOTW, and emulation got good enough to run XCX. It's a shame though, I kinda wish I still had it for 3D World and Twilight Princess HD which both use the gamepad enough to make it frustrating to play emulated.
I sold it a couple years ago to a local game shop for a replacement PS3 and about 20 games. They were doing a huge sale at the time due to needing space for PS4 games and the upcoming Switch launch.
Honestly one of the best decisions I did. I got into so many franchises I missed out on and quickly found myself with a huge backlog of games that'd take me about 2 years to get through. It was great. My Wii U was nothing but a Smash machine at that point and Smash 4 wasn't exactly a great experience when all I had was online play.

On stand in my living room for the past three years. Once I make room for my gaming monitor inside my bedroom, I'll be using as a Wii machine.
Still plugged in but haven't touched it all year. It got a lot of use as a jailbroken GBA/SNES emulation box over the past few years. Tempted to replay Super Mario 3D World but I'm going to wait for the Switch version (someday...)
I still go back to my N64, GCN, and Wii U often. Wii U currently for Wii games while I wait on parts to repair my gamepad, but I don't see me getting rid of it anytime soon.
In some moving box. Probably in the basement.
Didn´t feel it was worth the effort to sell, so it just sits in a box somewhere.

Packed up and put away after a recent move, bought a few of my Wii U games (Bayonetta 2, BOTW) for Switch.

The poll results are pretty interesting so far, I know the "actively using" percentage is the lowest once you add the others together but it's higher than I thought it'd be
Personally, my Wii U is finally sitting in a box after gathering dust for way too long. I modded it too, it's just my Wii U has an incredibly baffling technical fault where you need to force a shut down after powering it on the first time and turn it on again for it to work.
I'm tempted to buy another that doesn't make me worried it's going to brick every time I use it but I haven't managed to see one for less than £40 yet.

Waiting to be never played...
I'm gonna have to make a Switch version of this once more and more next gen games get announced. Might pencil that in for later today actually.
Mine is hooked up and still used. I think if Xenoblade Chronicles X is ever ported, I would likely retire it at that point.
When I started playing Xenoblade X it was through emulation, rather than using my actual Wii U that's plugged in.
I never had one--played only one single player game on my roommate's wiiu (TMS) and some multiplayer on occassion.
College roommate I believe had it out until Bayonetta got a switch port, has since been shoveled away.
SO's wiiu was literally collecting dust until we moved, and now just is boxed up in the back of the closet for "if I ever want to hate myself and play devil's third. Also wii games I guess."

once I could rip my games and play on PC...I was gone. its been 3 months. before then, it got great use as a Gamecube emulator.
I bought a Wii U last year, got over 30 games for it and one year later it is now on one of the glass shelves I have for my consoles. Will probably be a while before I take it out again.
In the closet. I've actually been thinking about pulling it out since I've been nostalgic for Ocarina of Time and would rather play it on a TV than the 3DS. The thing had a pretty decent Virtual Console library.
I'm picturing some sort of sci-fi device where the Wii U and Switch are lying side by side and all of the Wii U's life force is being drained and fed directly into the Switch.
Honestly, I sold mine because it took up space and I own a wii/Gamecube and every game was coming to Switch.
I do partially regret it because of virtual console and it's neat to own. Might buy one day down the road when space isn't a huge concenr.

Mine is plugged in. I've been meaning to get back to Super Mario 3D World before I start Odyssey. I've been failing to do so, as I've been mainly focusing on PS4 games.
It's in my sons bedroom as he's only 7 and we were using it as a test to see if he would play Mario Maker, Mario Kart and Zelda on it.
Since he has, we are now looking at upgrading him to a switch lite at Christmas as he said he prefers playing on the pad than the TV

Connected to power but currently borrowing its HDMI for TurboGrafx mini.
Long backlog, hope to finish eventually. I refuse to re-buy any of those games on Switch, when there are only minor enhancements in most cases.

Still plugged in next to my PS3. I think I've played all the Wii U games that I want to, but there are still some Wii games that I've not played yet so it's mostly used in Wii mode.
It's plugged in, but almost all of my consoles are. Awful system, but it still had one or two games I played as opposed to the Switch, which is an even worse dust collector.
Donated my Wii U and all the games to my lil cousins. He's been having a blast playing Botw and Mario kart on it since especially since school is out.
It is his first videogame console too
Only downside is some of the games I have him stopped working due to disc error

Still hooked up. I play mine every now and then.
I still think there is something magical about the Wii U. I love it. I know I'm in the minority though.
