Everyone has listed the exclusives already so I won't do that. Instead, I'll just say if the trailers and gameplay of those exclusives look interesting, then you won't be disappointed. If none of those exclusives interest you, then it won't be worth your purchase, obviously. I have had an absolute blast with my Wii U already and I think the best games are yet to come.

I also didn't realize how awesome having BC with the Wii library and GBA and DS virtual console would be. And Earthbound. :) I skipped the Wii generation so catching up on Metroid Prime Trilogy, Xenoblade Chronicles, Pandora's Tower, The Last Story, Skyward Sword, etc. has made the purchase even more worth it for me.

But even so, I would actually wait until E3. I think we'll see a price cut by the holidays and maybe some incredible bundles. You've waited this long, right?

Well, let me ask you this, do you game more solo or multiplayer? Are mature titles essential to you? Do mature titles take up most of your gaming time?

If you're big into multiplayer(especially local), then the console is 110% worth the purchase. If mature titles are really important to you... maybe not so much. If single player gaming is your thing and you don't really get into multiplayer all that much... wait a year or two for a big price cut and the games to be really cheap.

You already have a ps3 and ps3 so adding more games to your library wont hurt.

The virtual console is insane too! A TON of great games from NES, SNES, Wii, ect with more to come!

Also, no one mentioned Devil's Third yet (I think). Very worth it with a ton of great games and many more coming!

I've had the console for year now and I would say that it's good secondary console, as the library is not that diverse. Further, as for whole list "great" exclusives have been given on the thread apart from 3-4 like Mario 3d world, bayo2 and pikmin, rest merely fall into the good category. Some genres are like quality RPGs , sports , shooters are lacking.

But on the other hand the console looks good and the game pad has grown on me. Well in other words if ure a nintendo fan it's a must hv, if u are gaming mostly on PS/xbox then it's a decent secondary console, but don't expect it to take take over your living room. If you're mostly into RPGs then it's not worth it right now

If you enjoy gaming, yes.

That depends. What games are you interested in getting for the Wii U? If you think there's enough games you want to get for it, go ahead.

Yes if you like a great exclusive games and a family guy type.

Thank you for all the replies guys. I've decided to supplement my console collection with a Wii U as soon as my finances permit. Probably not in April or May, but very possible for June. I really want to play some Mario stuff and finally give Zelda its proper due, so I'll be getting the console as soon as possible.

Depends on who you are I guess. For me, the library of games and the cost of the console make it worth holding off for a while for more games to release and the console price to come down.

Still, got some great games on there for Nintendo fans and with a new Zelda and Xenoblade coming I may just be tempted sooner rather than latter.
