Hi!I've been wondering if I should buy a Wii U (I'm going to make a trip to the states and I can get it cheap).

I'm what you would call a Sony fanboy, I had a nes, a snes a gb, and a gba. But my gaming live changed when I got my PS. That's whe I started to REaLLY enjoy gaming (thanks to RPG's). At that moment, I never looked back and only played sony consoles.

But, in recent times I've had nintendo nostalgia. I miss some of those games. Plus, my GF has a wii, and I've had a blast playing it with her. I've only played Mario Kart and NSMBW (but they are serious fun). And I've only played multiplayer with her and her family.

I've been thinking in buying a WiiU for her. She almost only enjoys Mario games ans mini-games. She specially enjoys games with local multiplayer. I also think we could both enjoy the system (and I could in a future use it to play games like Zelda). 

My main questions are:

How's the local multiplayer experience on the WiiU??? Is it like the Wii? Or more like the PS3 and 360???

Having one player using a tablet controller and the other a classic or Wii controller diminishes the experience???

Do you think a Wii ->WiiU upgrade is good for her??? or would she be equally happy with just the Wii.

This questions are because I've had the impressio nthat this console is build more towards a "solo experience" rather than a family experience. 

Thank guys!!!
