I don't think the WiiU controller will work with the current system. All the pictures I saw of it showed a totally different looking system. It's supposed to have better graphics and HD capability.
My son and his friends use our Wii when we let them (meaning it's hooked to the main TV and they can only use it if we're not watching anything). It's got some fun games if you're in the mood for them. And I still like the Sports that comes with it. Bowling is my best thing.

Nads is right, it's supposed to be a whole new system. Sort of a .5 console, somewhere between the Xbox360/PS3 and the Xbox730/PS4.
I'm concerned about it...I think it's going to prove to be a bad move in the long run for Nintendo.

The Wii doesn't even have HD output, no reason whatsoever to be using that for Netflix. The WiiU is just a bad idea waiting to die a slow expensive death.
As far as deals go, I picked up a 20 inch LED backlit monitor for $89.99 with free two day shipping.

Sure there is: It's already hooked up to the TV and I can't be bothered to run more wires to a computer or whatever.
Also, the streaming quality isn't great enough to care about it and most of what's on Netflix streaming is older stuff. If I want HD quality, I'll get a physical disc.

This. I've got Netflix streaming through the Wii and the Xbox. The Xbox has the HDMI cable. And with most of the shows and movies we watch, there's no difference in watching them on either machine.

You're stream quality will be limited to your internet speed anyway, plus going over wireless don't expect some fancy shmancy stream quality.
I dropped $10 and got an ethernet to USB adapter for the Wii and have it physically linked to the router. Works real well and stopped a lot of the hitches in Netflix's streaming not to mention general updates.

Wii's will talk to Netflix without some kind of an intermediary?

Yeah, it works just fine via wireless. And you can download a free Netflix application via the Wii's shop so you don't even need to load a disc to start it up (you originally did). I just like the more stable connection that comes with a physical wire.

Same here and ours used to be set up that way. But now the router is over here and the Wii is waaaaaay over there, so I just use the wireless. So far it's been fine. There was just one day it seemed slow.

This is why I wish I could do wiring in my apartment... I think they frown upon doing construction though.
