Shantastic

Great price on an item that exceeded my expectations. This adult gamer loves the Wii U.

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

I am surprised at how much I love the Wii U. I have all the modern systems and most of the retro ones too. I love Xbox 1 (and 360 and Xbox), like PS4 (and 1,2,3), and have been a Nintendo lover for decades. The original Wii let me down...no HD, controllers were weird, etc. But the Wii U is a different story.

First, the system is simple and sturdy (well, kind of). It is not a hulking box but a very small little system, quiet, clean looking, and sturdy. However, the "controller," that comes with the system is big...bigger than any console controller in modern history and I thought I would hate it. I don't. It is a weird hybrid of tablet, controller, and personal gaming system and in my opinion it works. It is sturdy in the hands and it is actually quite comfortable to hold.

The online element of the platform is not Xbox...not even close so don't expect that. It is a simple place to buy some classic games, get some of the newer releases, maybe chat with a 12 year old (don't know never tried) and I guess if you don't have an Xbox or a smart TV, you can use it to stream Netflix. But...let's be real. Nintendo is still around because of brand identity. The Mario and DK games are the reason I bought the Wii U and for that I am thrilled. Mario 3D, Mario Cart, New Super Mario Wii U, Zelda, Kirby...they are awesome. And because you can only get it on Nintendo, it makes me keep a little clear space in my budget and on my TV stand for whatever system Nintendo puts out every several years.

And now another note about why I really like this system. With the hype on PS and Xbox, there is some form of competition. In my opinion XB is superior but PS is a fine system. I get tired of playing for achievements and trophies and I get very tired of hearing people arguing why one of the "super," systems is better than the other. In my opinion one does not have to be bad for another to be good. The Wii U is simply a gaming system with fun in mind. They are not trying to convince you of anything. They are not trying to replace your cable box or jam 3000000p graphics down your throat. They are just saying, "hey, we have great characters and great...fun out of the box...games that you and your family can play." That is refreshing to me.

The Wii U sits proudly below my TV next to my XB1 and I am glad I have it. Would I choose it over XB1...absolutely not. But it has a place and I am very glad I bought it.

Oh, and Mario cart is awesome...:)

Well, never thought I'd write a review for the Nintendo Wii U, let alone buy a Wii U. That all changed while talking to a friend at work. We were talking game and both admitted we wanted a Wii U at the same time. We both have PS4's, so this was something new. We then started to talk about Mario and Zelda. I went home that day and started doing some research on the Wii U. Not very many games out for it, developers backing out of making games, nintendo, may announce a new system within a year or two. All facts that started having me think twice about buying one. So on my day off, I went to Nintendo's web-site and did some eShop viewing. They had a lot of games I liked from when I was a kid, and just had to have them again. I decided to just go for it, even with it's future not so bright. So on Wednesday May 27, my package arrived! I couldn't not wait to set it up and start some gaming on it.

Setup was simple, the two games already installed on the hard drive. I also added an external 500gb hard drive to it. Super Mario Bros 3D is an excellent game! Sometimes even hard and challenging. I gave up on the Nintendo Land because the Control Pad kept losing connection with the Wii U.. Which I can't figure out, since I was less then 1 foot from the Wii U.

All in all the system had a good feel to it, everything worked and looked great. Graphics were good, and it was nice finally playing a Nintendo game in HD.

The only thing I would have to warn, is on the eShop. Watch what you buy, because some of it, just isn't worth the $4.99 or more. Example: I bought Donkey Kong Country, the graphics are HORID, doesn't look anything like the SNES version at all, the game is full of pixelation and LAG!

Well, as I said, it's worth the $291.99 and I've already ordered more games and accessories for it! I am now off to go PLAY my WII U!

Exactly What I Was After

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

I have played PC games for 20 years and have avoided game consoles in favor of the PC with mouse and keyboard. I finally broke down and purchased a console so I could game with a friend online and maybe even get a little exercise.

I love the touch screen - using just a joystick and buttons to type was something I was dreading but this works more like a tablet. And the touch sensitivity is wonderful. It makes navigating menus really easy. Just watch out, the controller even when fully charged won't last more than about 3 - 4 hours. You can keep it plugged in if you play for long periods like I sometimes do.

The games it comes with are fun though I moved on to other games. I like the Wii Sports and, to an extend the Wii Fit U (though this last game can be quite insulting and demoralizing if you have image issues about your weight). Right now I probably play a little too much of the Castle Siege game which is simple but a lot of fun.

As for the controller (joysticks and buttons), they work pretty well for this novice of such controllers. My brother-in-law who is used to the X-Box had a little difficulty because the buttons are in a different order but managed pretty well after a little practice.

I was disappointed it did not come with Wii Remote controllers. I guess they assume most people who purchase the Wii U already have a Wii. But a quick trip to the local game store solved that. I recommend 2 of the Wii U Remote Plus controllers with the Nun Chuck. If you shop around or haggle with your local store you can probably find a good deal on them. I got the name brand because the off brands often had negative reviews about how reliable they were.

In all I got what I was after: a console that is considerably less expensive than a new gaming PC which I can use to play online with a friend while also playing games that get me some exercise.

A fantastic console

Reviewed in Canada on January 29, 2015

I hated the Wii. The controls were gimmicky, the graphics were awful, the online service was something sent straight from Hell (Netflix app on a DVD? Are you joking?), and worst of all, the quality of first-party Nintendo franchises suffered. (Before you decide to flame me, yes the Mario Galaxy games were good, but you cannot deny that Skyward Sword, Metroid: Other M, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl are somewhat lacking compared to their predecessors.) By the end of the Wii's lifespan, I had completely forgotten that it had ever existed. When the Wii U launched, I paid absolutely no attention to it, dismissing the GamePad as gimmicky and the name as stupid, mostly because it is. But around last September, I heard that a new Super Smash Bros game was coming out for the Wii U and 3DS, creatively titled 'Super Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS'. After playing the demo on a friends 3DS, I was hooked. The last time I had that much fun with a fighting game was playing Melee on the GameCube. So a few weeks after that, I decided to buy a Wii U and fell in love.

Graphics: I've got a fairly powerful gaming PC and I can play most games on High or Ultra High settings at 60 frames per second. Despite being the least powerful of the next-gen (technically current-gen) consoles, the Wii U seems to have no issues running games at 60fps when the games demand it. Super Smash Bros runs at a beautiful 1080p 60fps and is the best looking fighting game I've ever seen, PC or console.

Controllers: The GamePad is surprisingly comfortable, and I can't ever imagine playing a Zelda game again without being able to use the GamePad's screen to equip items or view the map. The Wii U Pro controller is a worthy addition if you prefer a more traditional controller, and the Wiimote works with quite a few games if you happen to be a masochist.

Games: Unlike other 'next-gen' consoles, the Wii U has games that are actually finished and bug free. Micro-transactions and day one DLC are also absent.

Great console to enjoy alone or in family

Reviewed in Canada on December 21, 2014

I've always been a big fan of the Nintendo consoles. The main reason for me to stop buying Nintendo and shift towards the XBox 360 was the lack of games that were meant for adults, but I won't lie, I missed the "fun" games now and then.
I had my doubts about this console, and my primary goal was to buy it to play Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and from playing with it for a while, I can say that really enjoy it.

This is a really good console, graphics are nice, and the control pad is good once you get the hang of it.
If you want to play some fun games by yourself, or if you plan to engage in some family fun with you kids, this is a great console that will allow you to do just that.
