I can get a Wii U Basic for £167.99 which is pretty cheap since on Amazon.co.uk its about £229.00. As for the games that I saw from E3, I really like the look of Wonderful 101 and Pikmin 3. I also have a backlog of Wii games which I haven't properly dug into yet.

Do you guys think the price is worth it?

For me, the Wii U has been worth it since it's my first Nintendo console since the NES. I've got the premium version, and its storage space doesn't cut it at all(aside from ZombiU, I'm planning on only buying games on the eShop), so in my mind one will need to get an external hard drive anyway. With that in mind, the Wii U Basic is probably a better value than the Premium version.

I sadly have no experience with playing Wii games on the Wii U, but from what I've heard they do look better given the up-scaling.

Scan had it"today only" for £144 last week.

Thanks for the reply, the storage space is not a major issue, since I will be buying physical 99% of the time. As for the backwards compatibility no-upscaling is also not an issue, as long as I can play on my PC monitor.

It's all down to the price, is it worth it for the price?

@chobobot: Currently, do you want to play Nintendo games that seem to have been released in similar forms on previous consoles? Then, sure. Otherwise, it depends on Disney Infinity and the other new IP games coming down the pipe.
