What Should I do

Buy Wii U now 203 42.65%
 
Wait for NX 125 26.26%
 
Buy Wii U at bargain price 86 18.07%
 
Buy Hooker 62 13.03%
 
Total:476

So i have a plan this early years,  to buy Wii U with Xenoblade Cross Chronicles on December,  actually i am interested with a lot of titles like Fatal Frame, Super Mario3D, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart 8, Zelda U (coming). But NX is close to announce and Nintendo always have backward compatibility with their consoles. Should i just cancel buying Wii U and wait for NX and buy Wii U but Wait for  price drop at bargain price, Or I buy Wii U now?

I am almost 100% sure the next Nintendo console will not be BC with the Wii U. 

 

If I was you I would wait until around March. If the NX is not announced for 2016 by then it is 2017 for sure. But I fully expect it to be released in 2017

Do you have a proove for that



Definitively wait for the NX. Even if the console is not phisically BC, there will be some emulation capabilities down the line, specially if the console sells well. Or even updated re-releases, just like the Wii had that GC selection of games rereleased to "add move controlls".



You know it deserves the GOTY.

You should probably wait til the NX news. You could save yourself money and trouble. Plus most of the games aren't really going anywhere. Maybe Pikmin 3 would be hard to find, but aside from that, you should be able to find the games you want.

Just a feeling, I am pretty sure it will be x86/x64 like the PS4 and XBOne. It is in no way factual



Why even buy the NX? I think you should wait another 5 years until Nintendo announces their next system after that.

In all seriousness; If you want to play Wii U games, get a Wii U. Simple as that. Sure you could play the waiting game, but who knows when they announce the NX and who knows if it'll be backwards compatible. Everyone's so worked up about that thing.



Wait for NX.   <------------- this.



Buy it now, Xenoblade Chronicles X is calling out to you...



Wait for NX
