I wanted to know why you guys bought your Wii U. (Or why you'd consider buying one)

I don't have a Wii U yet, but I do have a few reasons to buy one. I'd like to play Smash, Mario Kart 8 and the new Zelda game. I haven't gotten myself to purchase a Wii U for now though!

1.) It has lots of games that DON'T include shooting things with guns and dark, mature themes. I really got tired of the overuse of guns and murder in games over the last decade or so.

2.) It's a traditional console.

3.) Free online gameplay.

4.) It's BC.

5.) It's totally fresh. While the other two consoles are just beefy versions of the PS3 and 360, the Wii-U is a completely different experience from that of the Wii. 

6.) Nintendo IP. Can't play Nintendo IP without a Nintendo console.

7.) It's family friendly which means you don't have to exclude your mother when she comes to visit or your 5 year old cousin.

 

Excellent reasons!!
