I don't have anyone else to play Mario Kart or Smash with since everyone either doesn't have a Wii U, isn't a Nintendo fan, or doesn't come over to play those video games. Metroid Prime Trilogy, yes...though I only played one. Wind Waker I didn't finish but came really close to, my first Zelda, really fun although I hesitate calling something my "first" if I never finished it so... Bayonetta 2 I completed through 2 times in a week, Smash Brothers didn't have that much content for casuals I feel, kind of missed Subspace Emissary, and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze was really fun but I always raged quite at the later levels. I'm the kind of person where if I Die too many times in a game I get really stubborn and start all the way over, ruins a lot of games for me, so i never finished Donkey Kong. Oh, I also completed almost all of Super Mario 3d World on a completionist run two times(but never did finish or complete it either times...got close though). 

 

Welp, guess I need to adjust my parameters on what lengths of time are reasonable! Still I think for most people that amount of games for that amount of time would be enough. I guess in your situation the fix would be to wait until there are even more games already available before picking up the system, though hopefully you wont have to wait too long with the Switch. Well that, and having another gaming system. The 3DS is probably another reason why the Wii U droughts haven't phased me, certainly so this year.

Also, derp, forgot about the Prime Trilogy, guess I was just thinking retail games. 

Ya i think the 3ds is a much better system but because of how much games like Ocirina of Time and Animal Crossing go out of stock it's been frustrating as well. Luckily I got Ocirina for christmas.

I mean to be fair Donkey Kong would have added another 1-2 weeks to complete possibly, finishing Mario maybe 1-2 more days for completionists, Hyrule Warriors would have added another week or two but I never picked that up. And Tokyo Mirage as well as Xenoblade Chronicles X - those are really cooling looking games that I never picked up and would add probably another three weeks. That's still very little though. I got the Wii U to experience a lot of franchises that i never had before, like Donkey Kong and Zelda and Metroid etc. In that respect I was satisfied with the system, though I feel bad for not completing the triforce quest and for rage quieting donkey kong lol. Hopefully we get a really good eshop for Switch, I really need to finish Prime 2-3 and Wind Waker. The only zelda game i have that i've completed is Link Between Worlds so hopefully we get ports on the eshop.
