From the three consoles that you have listed, I own a Wii U and don't own the other two. When you mention about 'game content' in connection with the Wii U, I think that's also taking into consideration the backward compatibility and the eShop offering older games too.

The next game that I'm most excited for is Monster Hunter Generations coming July 15. I really had a blast playing Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and I'm looking forward to more in the franchise. I think this will be my fourth Monster Hunter game that I have tried (the other ones were Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii and Monster Hunter Freedom 2 on the PSP), so I'm gaining experience in the franchise and still have a lot to learn. I think the Monster Hunter franchise is one of those that has grown on me over the years.

Recently I was hired to become a part-time tutor starting next month to help junior high and high school students with writing projects, SAT prep work, college entrance essays, that kind of thing. I had been in advertising sales working at various radio stations across the country (US). When my mom got sick and then had a stroke, I had to stay home and help with taking care of her. So I'm a caregiver, like one of those Visiting Angels folks, except I don't work for a company. I also have training as a Christian preacher, with 2 Masters, and I preach from time to time at my local church.

I had a lot of fun playing Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia.

This might sound odd, but playing Tomb Raider: Underworld to completion helped me feel good about the way that I play video games. Like, I died all the time, jumped of a ledge wrong a lot, used the hint system constantly, didn't find all the treasures or relics, and played on easy mode. And you know, I loved it. With some birthday money that I got recently too I picked up Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE and I'm saying things like "What is happening?" and "This is crazy." I've never played a game like Tokyo Mirage before, and I love that I have only a little idea of what's going on. All of it is like in my face crazy stuff.

Something that helped me was not buying any new or used game for myself for about 5 1/2 months this year. Not spending money on games helped me focus on playing some older titles, but also gave me a chance to scope out some of the newer titles coming out now and in the future (waiting for E3 was easier to do). This planning has really helped me because now I won't get bogged down in too much of the gaming calendar stuff like I used to. I've made a plan and I'm going to try and stick with it, even when there's a sale on the eShop. Some coupons at Gamestop were going to expire so I decided to use them too.

Another thing that has helped me is to make a plan of 2-3 games that I want to play in order but not at the same time. After Tomb Raider and Tokyo Mirage, I'm looking at playing Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation and changing things up. After that maybe Dynasty Warriors 8 or Prince of Persia, but I'm not sure. I like the fact that my playing skills are not meant to impress anyone. I'm just having fun and I like that part the most. I feel like a kid again, and I've missed that part about gaming.

Good luck on your backlog. I hope some of my suggestions can help you too.

From the games already listed, I want to also second the suggestion of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. It's fantastic all the way through. For an interesting Luigi adventure, try Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. One game that I haven't seen mentioned but thought was fantastic to play was Kirby: Triple Deluxe. You can take this game in bite size chunks on your travels.

Bejeweled 3 and 2 I've tried and like a lot.

I'm in the 81 or Before crowd. My interest level in Pokemon has gained over the years to where now I look forward to new releases with some kind of strong anticipation. The first person that I knew who was interested in Pokemon was my brother, who is 13 years younger than I am. The last Pokemon game that I tried was Pokémon X/Y (Y for me) and I really enjoyed it. I think if I liked all things Pokemon then Pokkén Tournament would appeal to me more than it does, but I prefer the RPG and collecting side to the games.

So far I haven't tried any of the new games that have come out in 2016, but I do plan to pick up Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE and give that a go. I also am going to try and find a copy of Project Sylpheed: Arc of Deception if I can, or perhaps Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires, depending upon what's available. Hyrule Warriors was one of my favorite games on the Wii U that I've tried, and building an empire sounds like an interesting challenge.

At the beginning of the year, I went back to playing BioShock and went through the game again. I've been through the game twice now and will probably play again. Here recently the game has been Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition because I am playing on local co-op. I don't think it's boredom for me, but rather what I'm into at the moment. Sometimes I feel like playing non-stop Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for awhile, and then after I receive many good beatdowns, I stop for awhile. Mario Kart 8 is also a game that I've played after a long hiatus. I've found that I do like the familiar games from time to time because it's comforting to play them.
