I'd like a Wii U.

I've waited long enough.

I didn't really care for it until Super Mario 3D World came out.

Then after all of the hype resulting from Mario Kart 8, I got really jealous.

It's been really difficult avoiding gameplay and let's plays from the internet.

My mum told me I shouldn't expect to get anything like that for Christmas, but part of me hopes she's saying that to hold me off. After all, when I got my 3DS I was lead to beleive I'd be getting 10 Wii games, but I was wrong and it made it all the more surprising. Besides, if I get one then when I go to my relative's house like I usually do, then what? I don't think bringing it with me would work that well. It depends. The Game Pad could allow that. I don't know.

Speaking of my 3DS, the Start Button just had to die on me, and what I'd usually be getting to fill the void that Christmas leaves me with every year, would be a lot of 3DS games to add  to my collection. But now I can't and by the time I get it fixed or get a new one, I'm going to be extremely behind on all the amazing releases such as Pokemon, the new Phoenix Wright remake game, Fantasy Life and Majora's Mak 3D(though Majora's Mask 3D comes out after Christmas anyway)

I heard the original 3DS had an awful Start,Select and Home Button design because it's all just stickers layed over buttons, so thanks for that poor design choice Nintendo.

It's no fun if I get new PS3 or Wii games either because I'm going to be bored silly when I visit my relative's house. I am not looking forward to this Christmas.

I now have the dilemma of either fixing my 3DS, getting an XL, waiting for the New 3DS to come out and saving up for that or getting a Wii U.

But I'm not sure whether to prioritize my 3DS being fixed over getting a Wii U and that's what really annoys me. Rant over.

TL;Dr: I probably won't get anything signifcant for Christmas and the 3DS games I usually buy won't help this time because my Start Button doesn't work properly. It's now a choice between fixing the 3DS despite it obviously being old, getting an XL, saving up for a New 3DS. Either way, it pushes me further away from the Wii U and I always wanted to own every console Nintendo had in a certain generation while it was on. I got a Wii very late so I missed out on a lot of the great games. I mainly used my DS.
