I don't think you should get one. Serious.
Nothing to play but washed out Nintendo sequels and a few japanese games. No third party support, weak online, most games don't even have voice chat, game pad isn't as good as it's made out to be. It's cool but far from a selling feature.

If this sounds in your ballpark, please do engage, but I don't think there are a lot of people who find that appeasing, seeing as Wii U's meager sells and it will likely be disconnected before the end of next year.

"Nothing to play but washed out Nintendo sequels"

Uhm... all you get is CoD, Final Fantasy, Assassin's Creed and etc "sequels". Judging by your logic, you shouldn't get a PS4 or Xbox One either.

Weak online? Actually no, it is very good which it is also free.

Gamepad actually is very good/useful. Also, you have the option to use a Wii U Pro Controller if you really don't like the Gamepad that much.

Also, the Wii U will finish its 5 year minnimum life cycle like every other Nintendo console. Wii U is not being replaced until 2017.

Let me break this down. 

Games: NSMB U DKCR:TF, SM3DWorld , SSBU, WWHD  = None of these are innovative or even pushing the Wii U's weak hardware to the limit.  I think most of them could have been done on Wii if you tone down the resolution and some of the shaders and textures.  Only game that impressived me was Mario Kart. 

There are a few gems on there coming on it if you like Japanesey games, Like Bayonetta and Xenoblade Chronicles, which is why I bought one.  (Other than the fact that I got it for 60 dollars, couldn't see myself buying one for 350 or whatever when there's PCs and PS4)

Fairy certain 2015 will be the last year the Wii U gets a lot of support from Nintendo, and the successor will be out before late 2017. 

 

Oh and btw BloodBourne for PS4, Rise of Tomb Raider on Xbone, and everything else that ever big name dev is making.  GTA, AC, COD, BF, Dark Souls, Bioshcok, ect ect.
