You're definitely not the only one; I too am very excited (and optimistic) regarding this.
Some people are predicting that once the NeXtbox and PS4 are released, that WiiU will be destined to lose a vast portion of its 3rd party support, but what they're not realizing is that first, the tech difference between consoles won't be anywhere near what is was this gen (unless Microsoft and Sony launch much later than we think, which would result in plenty of support for WiiU anyway), and second, that WiiU will more than likely have a very nice install base by the time they arrive and, hopefully, will show lots of creativity via the controller. The chances that WiiU could be the foundation on which the majority of games are built (much like the PS2 was, despite the more powerful GC/Xbox), is more likely IMO, particularly when game budgets are taken into consideration.
Of course, my overwhelming optimism could prove to be misplaced, but with all of the positive chatter we've been hearing as of late (and the fact that Pachter is still negative on it), Nintendo's looking real good to me.
