I bought a Wii U (my only console) just a few months ago. It's still amazing, you can download all available games for free directly from Nintendo.

The controller is meh, however most games also let you play with a pro controller. The screen on the Wii U brick is barely used.

And if you have a party or so just let them bring their Wii controllers, all the multiplayer games support them.

If you are not a classic gamer but are looking for some gaming fun it might still is the perfect console for you
