Yes because as much as the 3DS and Vita are cool, when I am at home and I try to play with my 3DS, I get that itch that just tells me to play a console game instead, so with this you get the best of both worlds.

It actually happened to me too (Stranded at an airport with a Wii U)

So you're that guy
Nintendo should make a backpack type carrying case for the Wii U or something as there does seem to be a small segment of people who do actually like doing this.
Would buy, SO DAMN HARD. Im still holding out for one.

I still think Nintendo should do a small disc drive-less Wii U with a built in hard drive. For people who don't want a full sized console or like to travel.
I'm going to Singapore next week and as much as I'd like to take my Wii U, I'll probably just take my 3DS and my tablet.

For the people saying this will be possible with the Vita, are you sure?
Wouldn't you need a TV to activate remote play through the PS4 if you had the console with you?
Every airport I've ever been to needs web browser authentication before you can even use the wifi. I tried once with the Vita but every time I closed the browser it reset the connection and booted me.
I'm not trying to be a smart aleck, I'm genuinely wondering if this is possible because if you could just call someone and ask them to turn on your PS4 at home that would be cool.

I didn't say anything salty, I said they should make a portable case for it. How did you read it?
Honestly I think Nintendo should do a commercial showing exactly this sort of use a dude/ette unpacking a Wii U from a bag in a busy airport terminal while his flight is delayed; as oddball as it might be, it could be just the thing to convince the layman that this thing is not just a peripheral but its own pretty unique console in its own right.
You can switch to off-TV play from the main menu, which shows up on both screens at startup. There's no need for a TV to get it going.

I took my Wii U on a road trip Christmas, my wife and I took turns driving.
I played a bit of Assassins Creed 3 OffTV in the car.

The Vita and PS4 can connect directly without the need for Wifi.
Or you could own all three and have three entire libraries of games available to you. Also if you're travelling with someone you could play two player games too. Which is another benefit.

This story and the latest news about the new 3D Mario game really do make me regret selling my WiiU. I just was not using the damn thing at all, and was trying for once in my adult life to me responsible about things. I used the money I got from selling it and put it right towards my PS4 preorder, but I did not really have to.
If I went to pay for a new one, my wife would totally give me hell.
Luckily my good friend is letting me borrow his WiiU when the new Mario comes out, as he just had his second daughter and has zero time these days.
Once it gets a good price drop though, I will pick it up again.
Excellent story.
