I would definitely not suggest getting a wii u. It has a severe lack of games if you don't own a wii but if you do why buy the wii u? I wanna play Zelda and smash Bros but that's all that is really there. Can't even play the Nintendo 64 games on it yet. Not worth it. And what makes matters worse is the hardware is pretty shit with lag and disconnection errors with the gamepad when you have ANY mobile device being used in the same area.

After owning a Wii U for just over a year, I can safely say it's definitely the way to go if you're looking for games that are actually a lot of FUN. I don't know what you've heard about the online service, but I can tell you I've had far less issues with Nintendo Network than I have with XBL, and the community for their games is actually nice and helpful (Monster Hunter especially). Get a Wii U with Mario kart, Monster Hunter, Hyrule Warriors and SSB and you'll be set. With Starfox, Splatoon and Zelda U all coming this year too, I think you have some quality games to look forward to.

Sure you can get a WiiU. You'll also be a filthy casual. I mean you are excited over Mario and super smash brothers? I remember them being cool in elementary school...

WiiU master console.

[quote]I am getting bored of the lack of games on the ps4 and xbox one. I do not yet own an xbox, but realistically the only games I'd play on it would be sunset overdrive and the halo collection, making it even worse than my playstation. I then look in the complete opposite direction. [b]Nintendo[/b]. Despite the lack of third party support...Nintendo are on fire with their first party games. I recently looked at some of the Wii U games, MK8, Smash Bros, Mario 3d land (just to name a few) and feel as if they have the killer exclusives that both sony and microsoft are missing. However I feel as if the Wii U is heavily friend oriented and reliant on co-op play. I hear Nintendo aren't exactly great with their online service and none of my friends own a Wii U because they believe broken third party games triumph them all. For anybody with a Wii U or with any experience with it, do you think my thoughts justify having one? It will cost me 300 pounds plus to get everything that I want so it isn't exactly cheap, but cheaper than going down the xbox route. thank you in advance![/quote] Yes, on the note of co-op, try inviting friends over! It's not too hard, unless you live far away from each other. If that's the case, try making new friends in your area. Smash Wii U has an 8-player mode [i]for local play only[/i], so that's one reason to get friends to come. But seriously, on the actual hardware side, it has a (somewhat) dissapointing 32 GB data storage, without an SD card. The graphics on the games... yeah, you can't see every hair on their head, but [i]it's what you do with your graphics that counts.[/i] People [b]heavily[/b] underestimate Nintendo, to the point of [b]HATING[/b] them. All together, the Wii U actually might be as good / better than an Xbox One and PlayStation4. I reccomend getting it.

Wii U is currently worth it opposed to an Xbox One/Playstation due to its first party games taking a big steaming shit on both of them. I also have never had a problem with online.

I own a Wii U but I really only bought it for Bayonetta 2 and possibly Xenoblade. I'm getting tired of Nintendo's first party titles, in all honesty, hopefully they make something new. If you like their first party titles, then I'd say it's worth it.

If you don't care at all for multi-plat games (Skyrim, Fallout 3, GTA V, COD, etc.), then the WiiU probably isn't a bad idea, as the WiiU severely lacks in the 3rd party multi-plat department. I only ever hear good things from their exclusives. I'd recommend watching the video if you want a good analysis of the system as of today.

It is a pretty solid system.
