I'm glad I can finally comment on GAF, might as well start here.
It's nice to see some good stories about people and their Wii U here after the recent barrage of negativity over Nintendo's E3 showcase, and I'm glad others are really getting the most out of their systems. I seem to have a knack for picking the least popular hardware every single generation, but despite what some people say, I think it's actually a really good time to be a Nintendo fan.
After having grown up on Nintendo systems, I let my GameCube go to explore third-party games through the PlayStation brand, and after a decade of being away from Nintendo, I decided it would be a good time to return on the Wii U, especially because it had Wii compatibility. I can't say I've been disappointed by the system's library, with excellent additions in core franchises (MK 8, Smash, 3D World, Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3), quirky but highly polished one-off titles (Captain Toad, Rainbow Curse, Hyrule Warriors, Splatoon), and a pair of top-of-the-line action games (Bayo 2, Wonderful 101). And while the lineup for the rest of the year doesn't have quite the same appeal as last fall, there's actually more titles this year overall, I believe, and I feel that many of them will be as fondly remembered in a year's time as the rest of titles I listed above.
So, yes, while the system's future is bleak (though I don't think it's going to be as bleak as the last couple of years of the Wii), I'm definitely glad I grabbed it last year and encourage anyone who hasn't yet who feels even the slightest inkling towards the system's library to take the plunge: I've a feeling you probably won't regret it.
