Hey there. So, I'm going out to buy a console today. (No, I don't care about Black Friday/waiting to receive a Wii U if I have to.
So, I'm a Nintendo fan (<3) and I'd like either a 3DS(xl) or WiiU.
Brands who's games I particularly love to play:
Mario
Pokemon
I'd like to try Kingdom Hearts
Zelda
Any other games I find fun at the time.
*no shooters like CoD kthx
I won't be taking the 3DS around with me everywhere if I get it. I think of it sort of like a small console I can just pick up and use whenever. However, I would bring it on long trips and such.
EDIT: A big pro of the 3DS is portability, however. I like being able to walk around the house with it. A big pro for the WiiU is being usable on a large TV/more power.
The price for each console is not an issue.
So, which would you recommend for me? What are the pros and cons of each?U
EDIT: I'm not wanting the 3DS just for the 3D or the WiiU just for the touch pad. Yes, how good each is weighs my decision, but I'm buying each more for the games I can play than anything else.
I have a 3DS, if you want to buy the 3DS because of the 3D, then you should buy the WiiU, the 3D BURN your eye after 15 minutes of use. I don't played the WiiU, but I think both have the games you like, and go play Kingdom Hearts for Playstation 2 (Its good!)
I'd get the wii u if I were you. It'll have more of the brands you like on it and it'll also provide you with better experiences. Also a new zelda game is coming out for it soooo.
As far as I know there has been no Zelda game announced for the WiiU.
If I were you I'd go for a 3DS. It has all the franchises you mentioned(okay, Pokemon is for regular DS, but still) and quite a few other great games, like Kid Icarus. The WiiU looks really good, but its game library is not as impressive as the 3DS's.

If you ask me, there are only two good launch titles for the wii u. I'd get a 3ds. I have one and I love it.
By the way, NINTENDO FOREVER

My current avatar is Gyro Zeppeli from the popular manga Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. He's my favorite character. I love his optimism, dry humor, and his ability to do considerable damage even without a stand.
Yes, but the OP is asking which console to get right now, not in a few months/years.

Thats because it just came out, however its still an excellent point. Wait for the wii U to get more games than "New" super mario bros. I know monster hunter and wonderful 101 are coming out soon, but soon isnt now. Just get a 3ds which already is accumulating/has a good game library and then pick up the wii U when it starts getting good games, which will probably be oh say...around next black friday where it isnt 350 dollars.
I am a big fan of all the games you like. But anyway, The Wii U only has one of the games you want, while the 3DS has tons, so if you wait some time, the Wii U will be better, because of preformance and graphics. But of course, the 3DS is also portable. But out of the two, I would probably pick the Wii U.
I'd get a Wii U if I were you. Because with the 3DS, advanced technology = more expensive to make games = less games = more crappy games = less memorable library of games in general.
So, I'm a Nintendo fan (<3) and I'd like either a 3DS(xl) or WiiU.

Oh.
Well, I'd recommend the Wii U.
