Great potential
PostedMarch 7, 2013
The Wii U is once again Nintendo's newest creation. First off, it's not a gimmick, it is innovating. Having a tablet for a controller opens a new window for gaming like item list on the bottom, throwing spikes w/ your gamepad, and playing a game anywhere. It is new and I hope it sticks. Nintendo, unfortunately, went cheap. The scene is awful and the specs will be like the wii was to ps3. Wii U's CPU is more powerful than the 360 and PS3 but won't be more powerful then the 720 and PS4. It is disappointing to see this but Nintendo will do one thing, make amazing games. Next, Miiverse is great but not amazing. The internet is better than some tablets out there. Now here are the problems. The eShop has good games. Lots of games will be coming out soon. Now there are many problems. Only 100 friends can be made. It is not like a User account like X-Box Live because of no achievements ect. Finally the 3DS is not connect. Nintendo Network should work for both the Wii U and 3DS and be connected. The launch games are lukewarm. NSMBU, Nintendo Land are amazing. There were a lot of multi-plats of last-gen. And ZombiU is the only game that really uses the gamepad. Most games were cheap ports. And there are little games coming anytime soon. But the games will get better.14 triple A exclusive games will be coming and 6 multi-plats coming to PS4 and 720 by the holidays. My advice, get a Wii U now. You should get it now and when Holidays come not only will you have awesome Wii U exclusive games, you can have money for the 720 and/or PS4. Like last-gen you need Nintendo's console and one of the other. Wii U have a new experience and will be the main way to play (Xbox has smart glass, ps has the vita as a second screen) Don't wait get the Wii U.

Great System. Can't wait for more titles.

After reading about this system I managed to get my hands on this at a local gamestop where I tried out a level on the new Super Mario Bros U. After playing for only about 10 to 15 minutes I was hooked. Within the next few days I was back at gamestop purchasing my very own deluxe set. Aside from the innovative gameplay you can find in NintendoLand (which is included in the deluxe bundle) the application functionality is great. The YouTube App, Netflix App, and Wii TVii all work great. The web browser is also very easy to use and navigate around with. The gamepad is an amazing innovation and adds a lot to the experience. Although there are not a robust collection of titles out yet there is plenty to be excited about. I can't wait for 2013 and beyond to see how the Wii U's title library grows. Highly recommended.
I have been reading the Nintendo News on the different website around the internet. Lots of interesting upcoming games for Wii U. Countless good stuff it happening. I can't wait! The Future looks very bright for Nintendo! :):):)

Well Worth It

Would have gave it 10 stars if there was a dvd player on board, but I can deal. Love being able to play games without taking up the tv. great system I recommend it for everyone.
