Buying Wii U now, or wait for NX?

Don't forget that, unless the NX uses another GamePad-like controller (which is extremely unlikely), or unless Nintendo starts selling separate GamePads (which they haven't even done during the three years the Wii U was on the market), backwards compatibility is almost impossible with most Wii U games. You will also be missing out on most of the online experiences, as most people would've moved on to other games by then.

I'd say most Wii U games are just as functional with a regular controller or Wii remotes as they are the tablet.
