I´am with lIaffer on this one, Nintendo is well know for their games and exclusives that are, for the most part, top of the line. Beside great games, the Wii U will offer you little to no interference with your gaming experience, the update would be on the background (you may have to configure you Wii U for that) no pop up saying you have achieved something or that some friend has connected and a social Network, the miiverse, full, for the most part, of nice people and really talented artist if you are in to drawing. His internet browser is pretty neat.
It is backward compatible with Wii games (you will need wii controls for that, of course) and a huge catalog of indi and virtual console games on the e shop. I will not chare you any kind of fee for the use of the multiplayer online. Downsides that is has: The lack of 3rd party love, has not a livestream app, no achievement list (if you are into that) and the battery life of the gamepad is 3 hours (more or less) after that you would need to use the cord to keep playing or stop playing and let the gamepad recharge itself (you could also buy the new battery pack that would give you form 5 to 6 hours or gameplay time) or getting a Wii U pro controller that will grant you a total of 80+ hours of gameplay time with a good pair of batteries.
For Wii U, here is a list of games (from AAA to indies, to already out there to they will come in the near future) I will recommend put an eye on, I know for some of the I will: New Super Mario Bros. U Nintendo Land Mario Kart 8 Super Mario 3D World Wii Party U Pikmin 3 Lego City Undercover ZombiU Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Rayman Legends Disney Infinity Lego Marvel Super Heroes Skylanders SWAP Force Call of Duty: Black Ops II Sonic Lost World The Wonderful 101 Batman: Arkham City.
You will have more variety with PS4.... More group and family games and old familiar titles (Mario, Zelda, upcoming kirby, upcoming fire emblem etc etc etc) and if you are into that, go for the Wii U.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
