So whats the difference in wii and wii u

HD.

Wii U plays Wii games. Wii U has the new Nintendo eShop which is much better than the old VC (except for the fact that they re basically rereleasing everything on a slow schedule, kind of mad at that one). The gamepad is unique and allows for a lot of cool connections and ways to play.

HD Wind Waker is awesome + All the new stuff coming out, new 3D Mario, DK, Kart, SSB, etc. Other than sports games (and NBA 2k13 is actually solid, sadly) it has a decent selection that will hopefully grow once the console sells a bit more.

It's a Nintendo console through and through, if you like Nintendo, it's worth it.
