If they made the Wii U able to play outside the house I would buy it. Even if they dropped the price I would buy it, because it is a very good console. The graphics are very good and the games they have are exciting!
But you can play the Wii U outside. Well, assuming you either A), plug in the Wii U outside, or B), place it in a spot where you can play it outside. Luckily, where I have mine at, I can play the Wii U on my tv, or, I can move around my house with just the Gamepad alone. I can play in my bedroom, the spare bedroom, living room, bathroom, and even the back patio. So I can relax outside and play a game or two there too. I lose signal in the kitchen, and it's spotty in the dining room. But I don't need to take it in those rooms anyways. So that's no real lose.
Also, I have a car adapater, and can play my Wii U in the car too. That's awesome. I just let somebody else drive, and I can relax, either in the back seat or passenger seat, have my Wii U plugged into the car adapter, and play on the Gamepad in car rides. That's awesome. I've even shown off the Gamepad, while playing a game, to other people in other cars, while on the freeway. They were always so shocked to see me actually playing it in the car while on the freeway. I could see them in their car all talking to each other, while staring at me and pointing at the Gamepad with awe. Awesome times.
I actually used to do that with the Gamecube as well. I had that tv adapter that plugs into the back of the system, and folds down on top of the system. So it's still travel size. Just lift the tv screen up, and that gives you access to the top loading disc drive. Once the hatch is closed, boom, full view of the screen. Used a car adapter for that for car rides too. I'm getting used to being able to play Nintendo consoles on road trips while in the car. It's always a blast, and makes those trips go by so much faster. It's a 5 to 6 hour drive from here to San Diego, where I go to a lot. It is my hometown, after all. So I'm constantly going back and forth on a regular basis. Most recently for my brother's wedding a few weeks ago. And even tho it's several hours to get down there, I can just dive into a Wii U game, put a big dent into my progress of the game, if not flat out beat it by then, depending on where I was in the game. And before I know it, boom, my trip is over. Good times.
Also, they already dropped the price of it, and, yes, there are lots of good games for it. I currently own 43 games. I've officially beaten 36 of them, so far. 8 in the past couple of weeks alone, which is why I have been absent here recently. I'm picking up Super Mario 3D World on Friday, and am trying to work on beating another game before that. I'm more than halfway done with it. So hopefully I can beat it in time, as once Mario comes out, my full focus, game wise, will be on that first. Then, on the 3DS Zelda, as I'm picking up both on the same day.
But yeah, the Wii U is amazing. The Gamepad is phenomenal all around. Tons of great games for it already, with even more big hit titles on the way (and that's just what we know of already. I'm sure there are still some surprises to come too). Also, the Wii U can be played around the house, depending on where you put it, tho you can still move it too. Also, it's very portable, and can be played in the car on car rides too. One of my favorite things to do on road trips.
The PS4 and Xbox One currently don't interest me. They don't feel "new". They feel just "more of the same". Plus, everything that's on them for launch that interests me I would much, much rather on either the Wii U or PC. So there's no real interest for me in those systems. They don't offer me anything that I can't get anywhere else. They are just too expensive for what you get. Which, for me, is virtually nothing. Maybe later down the road, like at least a year or so, I'll look at them again then, and re-evaluate them then. But for now, it's definitely the Wii U all of the way this generation. For me, they just have the best stuff, and are going in the right direction, and are a blast to play. So much fun. And I'll get tons and tons and tons of use out of the system.
I highly recommend the Wii U. Even if you decide to get it as a secondary console, it's still definitely worth having.
