I have a Nintendo itch, I need my mario, my zelda, donkey kong...etc games.
The Super Mario 3D World looks fucking awesome, Wind Waker HD? Yes Please! I want these games, but I don't want the expensive Wii u that everyone says is a huge fail with no gaemz:(
Then I see the 3DS and it's awesome library of games, it's cheaper, portable, and looks fun.
Wat do, hump..... Wat do?!

If you have the money for both get both the Wii U and 3DS XL.
If you have the money for only one get the 3DS XL.
Congrats on wasting your money on a PS4.

Honestly, I'm leaning towards the 3DS a bit at the moment, and possibly just need to be patient for the Wii U. Maybe in another year or two, the Wii U could possibly drop to $200 with a stronger library and proper third party support? I don't know... who does?
I guess you're not a fan of the PS4, eh Mchart?
*edit*
reading through the 3ds thread earlier, there seems to be a way to play backups with some sort of special memory card. Could potentially save even more money?

Both are good consoles, but I think 3DS XL is more for you since it has a huge backlog now and can play roms.

3DS-XL is only hacked if you get a much older model right? Can't go to the shops, buy and hack!
That said, 3DS XL > Wii U. I am in exactly the same position, just got the PS4 and want a 3DS. The only problem is that I also just got a Vita and have only turned it on once even though I've been in a hotel for a week and done two transatlantic flights! I'm now selling it- whilst I want to play the games in reality even on my daily 30 min train commute, I can't be arsed to play with hand helds!
I didn't finish the new Wii zelda. It was too ugly. I would probably buy the Wii U right now If there was an original Zelda game, in HD, on the Wii U...

3DS XL are safe in shops as long as it says Copyright 2012 Nintendo (aka <4.5.0 FW). If it doesn't, you are screwed

While I enjoy my 3DS very much for Zelda, Pokemon, and a few others, I voted for the Wii-U because the new Mario simply cannot be missed. It is an amazing game.
And the Wii-U library will pick up.. someday. ;p

Pretty much.
Like I said before in another thread - It's insane to buy the PS4/XboxOne when you can get the Wii U for cheaper that has games that are worth playing NOW.
But really, the 3DS rules them all if you want the best entertainment for the $.

Ya, but don't I need a wii mote and adapter for it to work. Can I use my KB+M or perhaps even my 360 controller. I know some wii games need the wiimote.

Or get a Wii U and play Wii games on it.
If you never owned a Wii or don't have a Wii it makes the WiiU even more valuable.

nope, its actually better played with k/b or pad. at their core they are still simple platformers, in the whole mario game are maybe few moments that require to tilt controler left/right, which can be easily emulated and assigned to a button. the same goes for all those kirby games, and 3/4 wii games in general, if you wanna try some of those games its not really worth the money imo

I'm not really a fan of playing Wii games outside of the couch.
That being said, the Wii is only in 480p and thus games really look like shit... Even Super Mario Galaxy 2 is really pixelated, that really kills the mood.
It's really lame Wii games still look as shitty on vWii but whatever...
I guess that's what the Wii U is here for, to play Nintendo games in "HD" (although most games are in 720p).
Although, I was surprised to hear that Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros Wii U (both are not out yet) will be in native 1080p @ 60fps. I still have a hard time to believe this considering that even PS4/XBONE has issues rendering games in 1080p@60 but who knows ?
Even New Super Mario Bros U and New Super Luigi U are in 720p, and these games are really basic graphically speaking (Wii U could easily render them at 1080p IMO).
Let's wait and see...

Same as you Interinactive, but I play the Wii U more these days, because......... of Super Mario 3D World. I literally stopped playing the PS4 the day I got Mario. I'm having my brother coming over here so we can coop the whole game, and it's hella fun. Trying to get every stamps and stars, so it's quite challenging and we still didn't do all the worlds because of this.
If you are trying to get every stamps/stars (which I strongly advise you to do, since it also unlocks a special world doing so), then the game length is really good. The game isn't boring either, and every level is fun. The new power ups are fun too and if you are a Mario fan, you will notice every wink at older mario games, specially Super Mario 2 on NES.
Also the soundtrack is one of the best ever in a Mario game... The music is simply that amazing.
As I said in another topic, Nintendo really nailed it this time, and there is hardly anything bad to say about this Mario. It feels fresh yet it's a Mario and thus rehashed... But that's Nintendo's magic I guess.

The 3DS actually has a pretty kickass game library now. WiiU might get there eventually....but for playable games that you can enjoy right now, 3DS.
i7 5820k @ 4.4 || MSI X99S XPOWER AC || Samsung XP941 256GB M.2 SSD || G.SKILL Ripjaws 4x4GB 2666 DDR4 || Gigabyte GTX 970 GAMING-4GD || Dell 2407 || Razer Blakcwidow Ultimate || Logitech G502

Erm...why? Nintendo has a history of making rather simplistic games from a technical standpoint, but the art direction is top notch. To do any kind of comparison to the PS4 feels far fetched with that game library.

I'm not really comparing to PS4 only, but to older Wii U games too. Really few games are in 1080p on Wii U (only 2D games mostly).
Mario Kart 8 looks gorgeous and to imagine it's running in 1080p would be even better...

3DS-XL absolutely, larger catalogue (not to mention DS support too) and hacked, making it more economically viable 
It's one of the few games I would really like to play on the Wii U, but I must be strong and wait!
