If you're interested in all these games but need a pricecut on a console that isn't that expensive to begin with to jump in, I don't know what to say. Three of the games you mention are available right now you know.

I caved into my inner Nintendo fanboy around a month before MK8 came out because of all of the new smash news

If you bought a ps4 or xbone, you already did.

Essentially.
Don't buy consoles on promises people. The system is legit today. Get one and contribute to its ability to stay that way.
I bought the $200 refurbished one. Got Mario kart 8 for $48 off of Amazon which will get me a free copy of wind waker. Got a used copy of sin and punishment for the Wii for $10 and bought zombie u for $10 from best buy. ALl that for under $300 and what they showed at e3. I am happy

If I wasn't a Nintendo sucker I would.
Yeah, you read well lol but this means I buy everything Nintendo day one while some people are thinking more about their purchase and wait for the right time which imo for Wii U is now.
Nintendo Digital Event and all the Nintendo E3 Treehouse demos and interviews were all very convincing. So many great games are coming ^^

I wouldn't go that far with the crazy talk...
However there has been a shift since MK8 came out, and it looks better for them, but it's not all roses and sunshine, but maybe it isn't getting left out in the rain anymore either.

I have.
I always said I'd buy one for Mario Kart, Zelda or Smash Bros, the first one to release.
Mario Kart is out, so I waited for the end of my exams to buy it.

I caved and bought a refurb last night. Thinking of picking up Mario U and Monster Hunter for starters... maaaybe Mario Kart, but GAF'll crush me. 
I'm excited, though. Certainly there's enough gaming available on the console now and in the coming year and a half to justify the $200 price. Anything beyond that is gravy as far as I'm concerned.

My one brother bought one when MK8 released and my other did after E3.
Nice having other people that I know to play Kart with.

Bought it on Wednesday. I was ready to join Wii U owners. Plus all this excitement coincided with a family reunion where Mario Kart would be appreciated.

So you are saying that you are getting all the games free except for Mario Kart? I'm thinking you meant to say four games for the price two right? It's still a great deal either way though.

Ought the MK8 bundle along with Tropical Freeze. Been having a lot of fun with it.

I don't play on PC but I've decided to sell both PS Vita and Xbox One
I don't need your PS4... I have one
I was on the fence for Xbox One and bought the Titanfall pack... but I realized this console is not for me, further more when I already have a PS4 so two systems for third party games is stupid.
I've bought a PS Vita for LBP, enjoyed Tearaway and other great games but it's not enough (most of the other games I enjoyed are also on PS3 / PS4 or Wii U like Fez, Guacamelee, Sound Shapes, Hotline Miami...). It's sad because I have the superior version of PS Vita (dat OLED baby).
Now that is crazy talk. 1st party output basically hasn't even started. So much awesome stuff ahead for PS4: Drive Club, Bloodborne, Uncharted 4. Why did you buy one at or near launch if you didn't have enough patience to wait until greatness arrives? None of these games will ever be on PC.

Bought one at launch. I'd argue that there's only a handful of great games. But I have been having a ton of fun with the NES Remix games lately. I really hope they do a SNES Remix.
I'd say at this point there's better PS4 exclusives. Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, and LBP3 looked better than anything Nintendo showed at E3.... maybe the new Zelda is in that upper echelon but that's it.

Other than Blood, those games all look terrible. And so does LBP3, but I've never enjoyed an LBP. I bought a PS4 at launch because I never owned a PC. But as I realized today's consoles are now just shit PCs, I built my first. I wish I never bought the PS4. I'll miss Blood and Destiny, though.

Not exactly one week ago. But I got one the day Mario Kart 8 dropped with the bundle. E3 would've gotten me out to the store too though.

I can't take LBP seriously until they fix their floaty platforming

agree and somehow i think its a lock
for 2015 i would say PS4 has a really good first party lineup. for 2014... im not convinced. especially LBP does nothing for me.

I bought the Mario Kart bundle, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and I took Super Mario Bros as my free game and I couldn't be happier, the console itself is a great bit of kit and the games are all beautiful, perfectly smooth and bags of fun. I will be picking up Mario 3D and Smash Bros this year and there's several games I'm interested in coming out next year. The Wii U has way more exclusives that I'm interested in and honestly no console has a game like Mario Kart for me, it's just so fun and worth the £200 on its own. My only niggle is there's no real lobby system so joining online with a friend is so cumbersome, plus the Miis are so basic compared to Xbox avatars but that doesn't change the fact it's a brilliant console that more people should own.

Two of my buddies. I mean MK8 is the number one selling game on Amazon so you know it's having a big effect.

a lot of new owners are going to be surprised at sm3dworld
This looks terrible (and "last gen", like you wrote in your earlier post)?

That's a cutscene. Who cares what it looks like.
I'm seriously considering it. I'm happy with the $200 refurb price point, the problem is most of their big hitters aren't until 2015. What makes me think I may still get is being able to play wii games on it though.
My wii was along ago banished to the back of a dusty closet but I still have lots of games. I think I might play them on WiiU but on the gamepad, anyone have any experience with this? With the games being so low resolution I don't really feel like I'll be missing out much not having them on the big tv.

I am extremely close to buying one. I'm probably going to trade in my Vita and Wii towards it and pay for the rest. Gonna get the NSMBU bundle and MK8.

You have a CGI trailer and some nice ass game play for Blood and LBP (never been hyped for LBP and it's cross gen to boot). Also all 2015 titles aside from cross gen LBP. Compare that to what Released on wii U and coming out in 2014 (Dat Bayonetta 2), nope just nope. We can talk in 2015 assuming none of that is delayed but not now.
Indeed we're here to play games. Graphics are nice an all (I have a gaming pc after all), but it's all moot if your not personally interested in the game. UC4 as a lot of promise but it's shown all of jack so it's hard to get hype.
So happy to see more WiiU owners, had mine since day one (with a little buyers remorse at the time I'll admit), but it's shaping up to have a respectable future. Screw nitty gritty 'realism', gimme wool and clay!
Do have a PS4 as well for third party stuff, but WiiU is undoubtedly my primary console.
I bought the MK8 bundle about 10 days ago. Plus, I got me W101, DK:TF and Pikmin 3. Also bought Super Castlevania 4, Super Metroid and Mega Man 2 from the eshop.
I don't care much for the gimmicky pad stuff (off-TV play is its only good functionality as far as I'm concerned) but I really love the overall experience.

Me. Most of the games I want though are 2015. But still have Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta this year, maybe Smash, but that depends if Shulk makes it on the roster, if not I'll just play Smash on the Wii.
