@farrell2k: hmm, can you tell me how "generic" is this Afterglow brand? I mean, are they famous or something?

Normally I refrain from buying generic controllers, but once in a while some brands make them good.

Thanks everybody for your input.

Since the E3 is almost here anyway, I will probably wait till then and see if anything happen. Probably not so much.

About the costs of buying wii remote, wii games etc. that's a good point. I'll see if one of my friends that had it can lend the remote controllers to me, as they aren't using it anymore.

@farrell2k Cool, good to see someone in a similar situation having a great time with it. I'll have a look at deals and might get one together with Mario Kart 8.

@Master_Of_Fools all cool my friend. Funny thing, the game I play the most on my PS4 at the moment is Rayman Legends. It will get better with time, but still the lineup is quite thin.

Oh I don't? Let me recheck my post...

"But how is the gameplay for those games on Wii U? They play good with the pro controller, for example?"

"But do you think the Wii U has that much better value for someone that never player Wii or Gamecube?"

hmm...

Anyway, point is, I would like to know from Wii U owners if the system has great value if bought right now? Specially considering I did not own a Wii nor a Gamecube and maybe could play some old games on the Wii U.

Maybe I add more "??" at the end of the sentences with questions.

farrell2k, and how do the wii games play on the wii U? I mean, gameplay-wise and also how is it graphically, do they get an upscale for HD?

Hey guys, I'm new here and have some questions, hope you can answer.

Well I haven't had a nintendo console since Nintendo 64. I went to Dreamcast, Xbox, PS3 and now PS4.

Anyway, what I'm missing nowadays are games that are actually FUN to play. Not like those you finish the story and never touch the game ever again.

So I'm thinking of buying Wii U, since it has Mario Kart 8 (I still play Mario Kart 64 till these days!) and some other good platformers like Super Mario 3D World.

Well, another good point for Wii U, is that I heard it can play Wii games. But how is the gameplay for those games on Wii U? They play good with the pro controller, for example? (EDIT: Just saw that they only work with the Wii controller...)

Since I never owned a Wii, I think I could really enjoy it's vast lineup of games, like they were new.

I can see that for people who played all the Wii games, the backwards compatibility might not be a huge thing. But do you think the Wii U has that much better value for someone that never player Wii or Gamecube?

I think it could fit good as a 2nd console for me (or maybe even turn into my primary). Should I ever want to play those AAA games, I have my PS4 next to it, anyway.

Cheers!
