Reasons why I should own a Wii U;

OP already said they don't have enough money and their parents aren't buying it for them. So it really doesn't matter at this point.
 
I will buy a wii u if they release an animal crossing installment

I literally bought a 2ds (although eventually upgraded to an xl) JUST to play ACNL.

I am ridiculous tbh. But yeah for now there's not really a good reason to get the wii u. Wait for animal crossing
 
Buy one if you like amiibo comparability and the games.

Dnot buy one if you don't like poor gamepad range and battery, slow startups or the fact NX has been thrown around about being in the works or that it's expensive

To be honest I won't buy one seeing as there aren't my favorite games on it
 
I don't know why I would want to buy a Wii U other than I just want it.

I think that the Wii U is a great system to play with together with your friends and family! The Wii U is designed for that!

Is the Gamepad range really that bad? My Wii U is in the far end of the living room and I still get great range from my room which is where I use my Gamepad when I don't have access to the tv.

Plus the NX has said not to be a replacement for the Wii U or 3DS rather more like a device on the side that will have some extra currently unknown features. It's sounds more like an optional device to me.

But yeah If you don't have any interest in its games (which is hard as there are many amazing ones and new ones being added all the time), then yeah I wouldn't buy a Wii U. Mario Kart 8, possibly Smash Bros and a possible only rumoured by fans Animal Crossing for Wii U that could come out in the future is what made me buy mine back in December.

the only good game is hyrule warriors. it's a waste of $$$ to buy something that much when there's really only one decent game on it

How are games like Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Mario Kart 8, Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate not good? They all are very fun to play and offer some of the best gameplay experiences you can find on the market right now. There are also games like Splatoon (which looks amazing, imo), Zelda Wii U, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and more coming soon. If you want more mature games on the console, you could play games like Bayonetta 2, ZombiU, and Assassin's Creed. I haven't played them, but i've heard very good things about these games, especially Bayonetta 2. Plus, Devil's Third (Wii U exclusive) is coming in the future, if you're interested in that. :)

You forgot to add the phrase "in my opinion".

New 3DS has Amiibo compatibility.

Also, the announcement of the NX isn't a great reason to not buy a Wii U. Nintendo have always announced the successor to their consoles a long time before it's actually released. By this logic, the only time you should ever buy a Nintendo console is in the first 2/3 years of its release despite there might be another 2/3 years left till the successor is actually released.

Smash - boring after a month
MK8 - boring after a month
Pikmin - boring after a month
Mario - sucked after they made galaxy 2
DK - boring after a month
Captain toad - LOL BORING AFTER A WEEK
mh3u - was the only other good wiiu game, but now 4u is out it's pointless

Using games like Zelda/splatoon/xenoblade is pointless because they're not out yet and could absolutely suck for all we know. When I but a console, I want to play games that keep me occupied for months, not stuff that I get bored of after a month, and sadly. That's what most wiiu games are atm.

Bcoz it was p obv it was my opinion???
 
Is the Gamepad range really that bad? My Wii U is in the far end of the living room and I still get great range from my room which is where I use my Gamepad when I don't have access to the tv..

It has more to do with walls/objects than it does distance. I can put my Wii U in the living room and still be able to use the gamepad in the kitchen no problem because it's all one big room with no walls in between. But when it's in my room if I want to take the gamepad to say, the bathroom beside of my bedroom, I disconnect from it.

Also, the announcement of the NX isn't a great reason to not buy a Wii U. Nintendo have always announced the successor to their consoles a long time before it's actually released. By this logic, the only time you should ever buy a Nintendo console is in the first 2/3 years of its release despite there might be another 2/3 years left till the successor is actually released.

To add onto this it was stated that the NX isn't the successor to either of the current consoles out and that it will be out alongside of the 3DS and Wii U, as was stated already. It's more of an extra option than anything.

Well i'm sorry that you think all of those games are boring. I know that a lot of people, including me, enjoy those games. I still play Smash Bros., Mario Kart 8, and Pikmin 3, from those examples, pretty frequently while i've already beaten games like Super Mario 3D World and Captain Toad. In my opinion, it's a great console, but if you don't think so, it's just your opinion.

i never said the wiiu was a bad console, i just said there arent any decent games for it so its not worth buying.
 
The Wii U is definitely worth buying it in my opinion, the Wii U isn't even that expensive, €200 for a Wii U (basic pack) with Nintendo Land and Wii Party U is a good price, i never see a Playstation 4 going for that price. Sure the Wii U does not match with power comparing to the Playstation 4 and Xbox One but the games have a much higher quality standard in my opinion and they are fun! A lot of people i know bought a Xbox or Playstation because of the processing power but they seem to enjoy the Wii U games more despite it's bad specs. By the way, the Wii U is an improvement from the Wii in terms of power and graphics. Something we could not tell with the GameCube and Wii. I sometimes think that the Wii is even worse than the GameCube because some games lag when played on Wii but run just fine on both of my GameCubes!
 
What do you consider as decent games?

He said only Hyrule Warriors so i guess he likes more mature games the best, Hyrule Warriors is a one time offer game for Nintendo so i do not think he will stick with Nintendo lol. (Nothing wrong with that btw :D)

Any more information revealed about the Nintendo NX yet? I am really curious to see what it is going to be...

He should try Bayonetta 2. I haven't played it but I've heard it has some mature elements to it and a lot of people seem to really like it.
 
Unless you love Nintendo games, there's literally no reason to own this console.

Sad but true.
/sigh

I think if you're looking for a new console, your money is better spent if put toward a PS4 or something unless, as said above, you REALLY love Nintendo games.

But if you really want a Wii-U for no concrete reason, and can afford it without sticker shock or buyer's remorse, go ahead 'n blow ya money.
