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?

If you wait until 2017 then there will be no point. Personally, it's been worth it since I got Bayonetta + Smash, and I bought it for Bayo + Zelda.

Currently, yes. Absolutly. It's worth the relatively cheap price and the AMAZING exclusives.
Just watch PLENTY of trailers and reviews for the following games and you will see what I mean :
Bayonetta 2(+1)
Smash U
MK8
Pikmin 3
Wind Waker HD
AC IV (multiplats are great too lol)
Rayman Legends
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze

Zombi U, Mario 3D World ect ect ect ect.

And there's a lot of potentially great retail games such as Splatoon, XCX , Starfox, Fatal Frame , SMT X FE and ZELDA 2016!!!!!!

Actually, watch the last few Directs if you haven't.

If you care immensely about the Wii U's exclusives, including Mario Kart 8, and Smash Wii U, then I strongly recommend one.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Wait for what, exactly?

Even so, there are many games to check out already:

-NSMBU
-ZombiU
-Pikmin 3
-TW101
-Super Mario 3D World
-DKC Tropical Freeze
-Mario Kart 8
-Hyrule Warriors
-Bayonetta 2
-Smash

Not even counting other releases and upcoming games like Zelda U and Xenoblade Chronicles X. I'd say it's worth it.

My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

It has a great library.

Honestly, I would advise that you do what I am doing now. Wait for the inevitable pricecut that will be coming this Year.

Thing is I haven't played a Nintendo console proper since the days of the NES. So I just want to play some Mario stuff honestly and have a console that I can play with more people when they're over.

Does it have BC with the Wii or Gamecube?
