If you plan on local multiplayer Wii U is the best when it comes to that. Can even say it's better than PS4/Xbone as well
All the Wii U titles are really good and well polished, you can't go wrong with any of the Nintendo first party games. They are just awesome for me.
If you don't mind in the number of game libraries the Wii U have, then go for it
3DS has a lot of libraries of games but if you wanna play some games with your wife it's not gonna be good

Get a Wii U
Both 3DS and Wii U are really good and choosing any of them wouldn't be bad in anyway IMO.
The amount of hours I ask was because if you are super hardcore, there might not be enough games for you on the Wii U. But I could say that Mario Kart 8, and soon the come Smash Bros. will keep you occupied for a long time. Games like Wii Sports Club, Nintendoland, Wii Fit U is gonna be awesome for your family. As well as local multiplayer like Super Mario 3D World, Mario Bros., MK8 and Smash. Wii U would fit the family picture well. But if you gaming alone 3DS is also good with huge libraries to consider.
I let you decide

Thanks much for the help, Rei
Decided to get a Wii U. Now just need to see which package to get or wait for Hyrule Warrior / Bayonetta 2 first.
Checked out Nintendo at E3 2014. The only thing set me back is still support from 3rd party games. And as I read somewhere, after Watch Dogs (which doesntfix for a release date yet), Wii U will undergo next 1-2 years without 3rd party titles, is that true? I remember old Wii used to have considerably enough of 3rd party games. I'm suprised Bayonetta 2 is exclusive for Wii U, I played the first one on X360 and impressed albeit not a DMC player. But I do not think B2 carries much weight in pushing Wii U sales. Nevertheless, if I get a Wii U it's a must buy
It's good to see both Wii U and 3DS both offer online multiplayer now. When it comes to local multiplayer, excuse me if i'm too behind of dates, do you mean split screen?

I had X360 for longest period, followed up by a little NDSL and then Wii but I never really get started on Wii, so I can definitely go back and catch up more than enough of great titles on Wii, which alot of them helped me to trade my X360 for Wii before.
Definitely can't be hardcore player already, but sure miss gaming life you know that feeling right, and hope to have some casual time on it.
