I'm thinking of getting Wii-U too - my son really loves Minecraft (in creative mode), and once in a while he gets the thrills in survival, but he loves creating more.
I've never enjoyed fps, although I happen to work in the tools team for one of the most popular fps's out there.
I grew up on turn based fantasy gaming and still do that (highly recommend Dragon Fantasy Book I & II, also Palm Kingdoms).
Wait. Minecraft is on (coming?) to the Wii-U? My son would love this, but up until this point we've not been able to find it for Wii-U (which we have for many of the reasons already mentioned).
