Those skittish about buying an Xbox 360 in the wake of its coming replacement can go a little more future-proof with Nintendo's 2012 console. The drawback of the Wii U, though, is that the software lineup is distressingly thin, and third parties aren't doing much to thicken it up. At least the long-awaited Pikmin 3 is out now, and reinforcements are on the way. Most Wii U games (but not Pikmin 3) are $50 or less, so the gift card should help you kickstart your library. It's also worth noting that the console comes with Nintendo Land.
