Is it worth grabbing a WiiU yet?

I'm not really a fan of Monster Hunter, and Pikmin/Bayonetta/Earthbound are eons in the future.

Ehhh.

Like Jac said, Nintendoland is a good game but if you ask me that's all it really has going for it? The singleplayer is both fun and challenging and offers lots of opportunity to hone your skill via trophy levels, Extra stages, and course Mastery requirements. The multiplayer games are easy for anyone to learn and can also be super addictive if you have people to play it with: The more, the merrier. There's some less than stellar games, like Yoshi's Fruit Cart and the Captain Falcon one, which is really slow for a Captain Falcon thing, but it's still really solid overall, for what I originally expected to be Some Wii Sports Thing With Them Nintendos.

NSMBU plays like every other "New" Mario sidescroller despite what I've read about it before buying. If you've played any of the other games in the series it's probably wiser to forgo the handful memorable stages it offers in the water and Bowser worlds. At least until there's a price drop.

A few Tumblr friends seemed to enjoy the downloadable game The Cave, though I haven't played it myself. I'm strapped for opinions on any other games too, because the two above pretty much make up the collection of first party titles so far and I haven't seen anything else that's already released to pique my interest.

Generally speaking, my Wii U is collecting dust like my 3DS did in its early stages, so it's probably wiser to wait a while longer. At the very least until Game and Wario and/or The Wonderful 101, which have both left a good impression on me from what's been shown.
