The Wii U plays Wii games, if you missed the Wii Generation, Wii U gives you 2 generations for the price of one.

If you like platformers it is a must.
Nintendo is the place where you can find the best platformers, those games were kings in the 80s and 90s but nowadays first person and third person shooters are kings, and platformers have become rather niche.
With Super Mario 3D World, the new Donkey Kong game that comes out in February, + the Wii U Rayman Legends (it is the best version since it was made with the gamepad in mind), you will have the best 3 platformers of this generation probably.
The New Super Mario U + Luigi U bundle gives you 2 more great platformers, although not as great as the 3 games I mentioned before. (DKTP looks like it will be even better than DKCR)

Then you have the other Nintendo Games, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, the Monolith RPG X, some new Zelda, some new Metroid, perhaps a new Starfox or F Zero, I would like to see a Wii U Fire Emblem after the big success on 3DS.
