I got my Wii as a gift for getting rewards in school a lot years ago. We actually sat outside of K-Mart in pouring rain, to the point of flood warnings, to get one of two they got in.
AKA, I'm too attached to my Wii to afford a Wii U.

As for Pikmin, the second one sucked. Hell, they both gave me this creepy odd feeling of loneliness with unpredictable creatures you command at the whim you think you have over them. But at least the first one had a true purpose. The idea of "You need to get stuff to sell." was simply handicapped...
