I was a Nintendo fan boy growing up. Had a Nes and still have my Snes and n64. I skipped the gamecube, wii, wii u, and nds. During that time I was all about the sony and Microsoft consoles. Now I wanna catch up with all the great wii and wii u games. So I was thinking buy a wii u and just get all the great wii and wii u games on the cheap.

200 bucks direct from Nintendo. To the people with a wii u, is it worth it for someone like me? I hear wii games look like shite on HD tv. how does wii games look on the gamepad? The games I really want to focus on is the Zelda and Mario games.

If you can deal with an essentially dead system, it has the best library of Nintendo games since the SNES imo.

yeah I don't mind it being dead. I just want to play all the good wii and wii u games I missed out on. mainly the Mario games. There's a ton of great wii games. I'm thinking ill pull the trigger. Hopefully this refurbished one wont crap out on me. I want to get a new one, but only way to get one is from ebay sellers and they're charging 400. f that

I got a wii u refurbished through gamestop and love it. Played oot, mm, and wind waker.

But it'd be tough to recommend you to buy one with the Switch so close.

The refurb should be fine quality. The gamepad is pretty neat.

Playing oot on a big HD TV was a bit odd at first but you get used to it.

You may need to get a wii motion controller to play the wii titles. Then link it to a standard controller.

I don't mind getting one with the switch so close. I just want it to be available to play whenever I have time. I have such a big backlog to play on xbone,ps4, and pc. This will just add to it.
