If it has games you want, get it. If it doesn't then don't. It is a decision that only you can say if it is worth it or not. I guess I can give you my view, but it probably won't mean much to you.

Personally, I bought the wii u at launch and I kind of regret it. There have certainly been games that have come out that I have enjoyed, but nothing amazing really. Of course, Nintendo still hasn't released a new Zelda game which is my favorite Nintendo franchise, so that is part of it. Wind waker is a nice hold over, but since I had already beat it on the GameCube, I wasn't that engaged.

That being said, the wii u does have my most anticipated game coming out in xenoblade chronicles x. So as soon as I get my hands on that I will be pretty content with my purchase. Right now I say the wii u is a fine option, just not a great option.

No offense, dude, but your personal taste is rubbish. I know, because I have it bookmarked in my mod history.


Hey bro, as long as bioware is owned by EA, I stand by EA being good!

Great line up you can't get anywhere else. Without it, you are very much missing out. Of course, I have been an owner since day one and been happy with it... soooo... yeah.
But there really is a superb line up, and more coming.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Definitely, but you can wait for a pricecut if you want to!

Even if NX is a home console and launches in early 2017(i think it is the earliest it can launch since it will be announced in 2016), it is worthy to get a wii U.
NX will probably not get wii U backwards compatibility, and at the beggining of this life it wont have many games.
Just get the wii U, enjoy for 4,5 years, and then get its sucessor.
There are plenty of valuable games already cited.



If you are at all interested in the exclusives then yes. Shop around and find one for a good price (every now and then there are deals for $300 with NintendoLand + 2 other games, usually Kart and 3D World or something similar).

It's easily been worth it for me because I love all of the exclusives it has. Just figure out what you want to play, and if the Wii U has games you want, then go for it.

Definitely buy one. In terms of quality exclusives, Wii U owns this gen.

I haven't really followed Nintendo announcement lately but I am tempted by a Wii U soon.

 

Is it worth buying one anymore? Or should I simply wait?

Look at this thread. It highlights some of the best exclusive games on the Wii U along with the amazing games coming up.

For a JRPG fan like me not so much I want to play Xenoblade X but other than that there is nothing else I want to play, the console have literally nothing else I'm interested to play, so if you are a JRPG fan like me I don't know I'm sure that XCX will be amazing but to get a console that promote it-self like next gen when the truth is that it is a bit more advanced (hardware-wise) PS3 & pay around 250 $ for it I don't know man I guess depend if you have the money to spare, now if they made the Fire Emblem games for Wii U & not for 3DS then things would be different & I would consider seriously to get one, also they could make the Bravely Default games for Wii U also with higher quality graphics, & then Nintendo says they do anything they can to increase the sales & make the console more attractive when they go & put all the good games in 3DS & ignore completely their wannabe-next gen console whose fault is it that the console doesn't sell? it's their fault & only their fault.



If you are interested in the games, why not?

Is it worth getting a Wii U: Yes

The bigger question is do you need to get one soon?

With the current Wii U sales I think you should wait until they have an amazing bundle or price drop. (There was one not long ago where if you buy the black Wii U bundled with NSMB U, you'd get free Smash Bros or MK8)

You've waited this long since the launch before getting one, im sure you can wait a bit longer when you see a great deal.

(Unless you're just loaded with cash and don't care about deals then yes get one now!)
