If Nintendo did this bundle? Would U play?

Sounds like trolling. Surely you have played sequels to games on the same console, so why would you be against sequels on a new console? Especially because you go on to say that sequels are perfectly okay on the 3DS and a reason to buy the system.

Of course I'd get Mario Kart 7 and Smash Bros 4 if they came out on Wii.  Why not?  I might get NSMBWii2(U) as well if I ever get around to finishing the first one.  But to pay $300 (+$60 each) to play those games that really don't seem to add anything significant over what I already have? No.  The point of a new gen of hardware is to create gameplay not possible before.   WiiU games, aside from being in HD, are failing to do that.   Aside from NintendoLand and maybe Game and Wario, pretty much all the WiiU games currently out or announced could (and in my completely selfish opinion - should) be on Wii.  

As for 3DS, I've yet to buy one.   But I love Smash Bros and it'd be cheaper to get a 3DS than WiiU.  Although to be honest, aside from Megaman and WiiFit Trainer, there's no reason to play it over Brawl yet so that may not justify a purchase either.

Metroid: Other M is a modern 2D Metroid playable on WiiU.

Now that is definitely trolling.

LoL. Shhhh... the mods might hear.         

Was I the only one who loved that game?

1) "The point of a new gen is new gameplay. HD graphics create new gameplay." - Sorry, but that doesn't add up. But that aside, I don't agree with the premise itself. The point of a new gen isn't just new gameplay, it's also about improving the established. It would be pretty awful, if there was never a Wii Sports 3 on the Wii U just because it's not going to be new gameplay.

You are correct, the new hardware should somehow add an element(s) to the experience (what I meant by new gameplay) that wasn't possible on previous generation hardware. My point was, aside from the HD graphics the WiiU games could be run on Wii without compromising anything really.

But anyway, the biggest hurdle is certainly the price of the hardware. It's just a box to play the games and everyone (aside from people who masturbate to hardware) would rather spend more money on games. I don't agree with your line of thought that the Wii U and 3DS are substitutes for each other. Home consoles and handhelds have different purposes. Let's take Super Smash Bros., for example. You say it would be cheaper to get a 3DS for it, but are you going to play the game all on your own or would you rather have local multiplayer for a game like this? Unless you live in Japan, it should be much easier to set up local multiplayer with a home console. One system with four controllers instead of four handhelds with four copies of the game for fully featured multiplayer. Although in the end it really depends on your gaming habits that make either a home console or a handheld a more valuable purchase.

Unless I'm mistaken multiple people could play off one 3DS game, as long as they all have a 3DS and are in the same room, could they not?  I know DS did this.  For me specifically my friends/family are all in the same boat.  We all had Wiis.  No one owns WiiU.  Some have 3DSs already and others will likely purchase it to play Smash Bros.  So with a 3DS I have a built in friends list of people to play local or online.   WiiU?  Only when they visit.   And yes, 3DS is cheaper.

2) Gnac admitted that he likes Other M and he got permabanned.

O_o it that what happened to Gnac?!  At least it was for a worthy cause.

But that's besides the point. Other M isn't a 2D Metroid, just like Super Mario 3D Land and World aren't 2D games either.

Aren't 3D either.
