The only really top notch game I have played on the Wii U so far is Sonic Lost World (3D World / NSMBU / Mario Kart 8 are not that good I don't think).

Well... you are wrong, those are great games
unrandomsam just have different taste. To me, NSMBU isn't the best game I've played and neither was Sonic Lost World, but 3DWorld and MK8 were both fantastic. But that's my taste.
Double negative??? "are not that good I don't think." So, @unrandomsam likes them?

I don't understand how one can think that Sonic Lost World is better than 3DWorld, on production qualities alone. Granted I'm going by the demo only of Sonic Lost World, but still... it's a night and day. Technically, 3DWorld kills that game, and any 3D platformer except the Galaxies.
I have both, played them to completion, and I agree with you. I guess @unrandomsam cares more about how hard (or even frustrating) a game is.
I will comment in this thread, never being able to find it again.
MK8 plus the free game you get alone makes the purchase worthwhile. You will easily put 100 plus hours on those two alone, if not more by the end of the summer- and it's not out of the question that you get 300 hours by the end of the year with ease. Throw in Donkey Kong, Mario 3d plus several other pretty good ports and you will be fine.

I know, everyone has different tastes
People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

Dude I don't get it... You said you are already enjoying playing it, why care about the reviews then? I'll say go for it, since you can get another 1 retail game for free
PS: I skipped 2 Nintendo console generations and got the Wii U. Go figure

I did the exact same. Definitely regret it tho.
You really shouldn't have skipped 2 generations

I skipped N64 and gamecube and GBA but Wii VC and BC and DSL BC let me go back and enjoy many of the games I missed out on while I was only playing PS1 and PS2

Yeah totally regretted it.
At least the Wii U can play Wii games, so you can catch up on 1 generation

@DefHalan Well I regretted skipping the GC but not the Wii. Until this day I still hate the Wii. I know there are quality games on it but the whole atmosphere and feel of the console just throws me off. The Wii U was a god send.

I love the Wii but I'll be the first to admit that it was not marketed for the games I enjoyed on it, usually.

Wow we share the exact same feeling here. I Hate The Wii! Lol. Good to get that out every now and then
The biggest complaint you will see is that there aren't enogh games. But keep in mind that the games it has are of extremely high quality, so you will spend more time on them.
Also, my favorite is Super Mario 3D World, but Mario Kart is definitely a close second@

Yeah, good that Wii U has backwards compatibility. I'll be able to enjoy the best of 2 worlds!

Hello, uhhh I'm not on the forums much, so hello! I am feeling unsure about buying a Wii U.
I want to get the Mario Kart 8 bundle, because it has a Wii Wheel and A wii remote plus and all that jazz.
I just dont want to regret my purchase. Many reviews worry me, but I have 2 friends who have Wii Us and its an amazing expericence playing it! I want to go all out with a system this gen (like an external hard drive and such) and Nintendo has always had a space in my heart.
So, can somebody help me? I want to purchase a Wii U but I really dont want to regret my purchase and have hardly any good games to play.
The bolded part is the deciding factor. If you've already played some games and really enjoyed it, then nothing else matters. Personal experience > reviews, always.
It's had a lot of bad PR, it had a really slow launch year (which doesn't seem too bad in comparison to the two newer competitor's consoles) and some deserved criticism.
Ultimately though, it's a great system if you like Nintendo games, franchises, and also a quickly growing pool of interesting indies and digital only releases.
Check out the games, check out some reviews of the games, and then grab up the MK8 bundle!
I don't see how the reviews could scare you. The game's sitting at 88% on Metacritic and it's about the third best received game critically over the last three months. The only other new and notable game that's above it is Dark Souls 2 so it's hardly a game I'd worry about. Critically it has been better received than both Titanfall and Watch Dogs and I wouldn't call either of those bad games.
As far as the Wii U itself goes well it isn't a third party box and the release of software upto this point has been slow. But if you're buying it now not only can you get the cool bundle plus a free game but you have quite a decent library. There's 3D World, Rayman Legends, Wind Waker HD, Mario Kart 8, Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101 and New SMB U. Then there are the indie games like Child of Light, Bit Trip Runner 2, NES Remix and so on. Plus stuff out this year like Smash Bros, Bayonetta and X.
I don't see what the concern is. If you like the sound of the above the "Wii U problems" shouldn't be a concern at all
If you are only getting one system and care about third party games then the Wii U is a bad choice, if you don't care about third party and want to play only Nintendo games then its ok
