Would you suggest it to someone who has a PS3, a Wii, and a Xbox plugged in with hundreds of dollars in software for each but hasn't touched them or, hell, any other game besides Quake, The Sims and mapgames for a year or more.

The name ruins it. Much like their new handheld console. Sony is the only company left that knows how to do branding.

I was thinking about getting my nephew one but I worried about the tablet thing, does it seems to be built pretty solidly? Like would a ten year old destroy it in your opinion

you can get most ps4 and xbone games cheap (and often better) on pc, or at least alternatives that scratches the same itch.
you can't do the same for wii u cuz the (first-party) games are unique.

therefore if you want a console a wii u is the smart choice.

QED.

years of suffering as a nintendo fanboy have finally paid off, for this, the console we have been waiting for.

The N64 still looks down upon it and does not recognize it as it's true successor.

Honestly ZDR you probably have the best three games on the system right now, unfortunately nothing else even comes close to them unless you like Monster Hunter or Pikmin.

If you can find lego City, Nintendoland, or Zombi-U for 10 bucks or under get them since they're interesting diversions. The only worthwhile multi-console port on the system will be Rayman legends.

I was playing some Nintendoland and Zombi-U earlier and they're neat little games, though I wouldn't buy them for full price.

NES Remix is a nice diversion and I can wholeheartedly recommend donkey kong tropical freeze as well as rayman legends if you don't already have it. Wii sports club is also a great upgrade to wii version and still holds it's weight in multiplayer fun. The wii motion plus controls and creative use of the game pad add a lot. Pikmin 3 is good too.

drat wii u owns. Can't wait for smash bros and open world Zelda, not to mention fucken DS games on virtual console

The sound you hear after ODing on garbage PS4/Xbone games. Don't worry, Nintendo exclusives are on their way, coming to save you.

That is, if you want to be saved. :smug:

Wii U is really good if you like platformers. If not you can probably pass.

OP Nintendoland is a cheap game that's really fun if you have people to play with, even (especially?) if its someone who doesn't play games.

You should really get Wonderful 101. It's like Viewtiful Joe, Okami and Bayonetta got together and had a crazy baby where every boss feels like a final boss.

Also Bayonetta 2's coming out in less than two months, and they're even bundling it with the first game.

Good time to be a Nintendo fan.

edit: actual content: Is Zombi-U any good? The premise seemed really neat, having to get your backpack back when you died and coming across the zombie of your previous character, but I only know one person with a Wii U and they don't have it.
