I think it is. I should've waited a little longer before I got mine, because I got mine two Christmas's ago, and there weren't many games then. AND I MISSED OUT ON THE ZELDA WII U. But now since there are a lot of good games I think it would be worth getting one. Mario Kart 8 is amazing, one of my favorite Mario Karts. Wind Waker HD works really well with the Wii U gamepad, and it's beautiful. Splatoon the new game announced during E3 looks like a lot of fun too. And Smash Bros. It's really good with Youtube too. I use it to watch anime sometimes haha. I think the Wii U is starting to get better!
