FYI, you can just go in the store and ask to buy the toys separately. You don't need to buy a meal or food of any kind. I do this any time I want the toys like I did with the Skylanders toys.
@Linkstrikesback "Oh, also "that the Wii U has a powerful weapon in its arsenal which both the PS4 and Xbox One lack: the promise of dual-screen gameplay. "Yeah, Smartglass and Vita support say otherwise. Cheap? Not at all, but they both have the ability to support dual screen gameplay if a developer wants to."
They do have the ability to support dual screen, but they can never count on the users being able to take advantage of it. That's the advantage Nintendo has because developers on the Wii U can always count on it being there which gives them much greater freedom to use the second screen in new, innovative, engaging and even critical ways if they desire. Developers on the other consoles would break their own game if they put some critical feature on the second screen. Also, it comes in the box for the Wii U whereas the other consoles require expensive add-ons as you mentioned.
@Shiryu Heroes of Ruin is actually a very good Diablo-like game on 3DS. The only problem it had was being released right before Diablo 3 which took all the hype away from Heroes of Ruin unfortunately. You should check it out.

Re: Nintendo Still Seeking a Product to Define the GamePad, With Hopes of Sales Driving Third-Party Support
@Mr_G The WiiU is an HD system and it does have normal controllers...
Perhaps the issue is a simple lack of information or the abundant amount of misinformation out there about the system.
