im thinking of buying one myself since my wii's disk reader is broken so i thought i'd make the jump now because i want to play some wii games again instead of just sending in my wii for repairs. how'd you enjoy yours? is nsmbu any good? i don't really know when i'll get one honestly since work has been pretty scarce lately and i don't want to miss out on the new fire emblem so i'm trying to figure out where i should get one immediately once i get the cash or if i should just wait until i get paid after fe:a comes out.
It's probably a waste of money to get your Wii repaired, you might want to get a used Wii for cheap (but you wont be able to transfer some saves or VC games). You can transfer your data from your old Wii to the new Wii U though.
But no need to rush on the Wii U, there's only 3 decent games (NintendoLand, NSMBU, and ZombiU, and maybe Sonic Racing) and one cheap VC game a month probably isn't enough incentive to get one right this second if you are strapped for cash. I'd say save up until the next good game comes out (Rayman Legends? WindWaker?)
