XD for HD

Wow the graphics are completely amazing, I love the HD and Nintendo Land is a blast. TIP: It's actualy cheaper to get the Deluxe since the games cost 60 bucks you pretty much get an extra 24GB plus a free copy of Nintendo Land so go for the Deluxe!

I have to admit, when I first saw the Wii U I was VERY skeptical. But then my wife got a bonus and I thought, what the heck, lemme see what it's all about. Man, I was and am VERY impressed!!! For one the gamepad is super cool. It serves SOO many functions. You can even switch the video output of your Wii U to the gamepad and play the game on the gamepad itself. I have my Wii U console in my basement and I took my gamepad upstairs in the living room and I was able to play the game from there. You can even watch TV and Netflix right on the gamepad. The gamepad itself can be used as a TV remote. Nintendo said they wanted to make the Wii U the center of every households entertainment system...and you know what, I think it could very well do just that. The other awesome thing about the Wii U is that the games are on Blu Ray discs which means...yep, you can play Blu Ray movies on it! Last night I was playing Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper on the gamepad in my living room and the quality of the graphics is really nice. The only downside right now is there aren't many good games out for it yet. Personally I'm waiting for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for the Wii U and the 3DS, which will have cross saves...can't wait!

The Wii U is great. The gamepad is really cool and there are so many things to do like miiverse and all the games with such better graphics than the wii. A definite buy for everyone!

Buy the Wii u
PostedJanuary 2, 2013
Everything Nintendo said about the Wii U has turned out to be true. Had to update once, about 10-15 minutes on the first day. No lagging, loading etc. The MiiVerse is great for all ages. Nintendo prevents inappropriate language and monitors all around to keep it a happy ane safe place. Mii maker lets you take a picture of yourself and apply your features to you mii, you can also play as your mii in game. The resolution is great, games look great on TV. Mario in HD, Wow. I've found myself turning to the gamepad when i need to go online instead of my laptop. The Wii U is very handy. The games are also great, the included NintendoLand is Awesome. It's the one we use most. I bought ZombiU and NSMBU. All great games. ZombiU is very scary. Our Wii U only gets a break at bedtime and it has only frozen twice (when it was idle), but a restart brings it back to us. My kids are addicted (3 boys 6, 9 and 15, and a 14 yr old girl). My son is asking me to buy him Wii U copies of 3 games he owns on the PS3 (was told to sell a few other games on Amazon to buy them, he did). The GamePad fully controls my TV and DVR. Haven't tried connecting it to my PS3 to see if it can work as a remote for that yet, but I will. The Wii U browser looks as good as a computer when in use. I don't know what else to say. Wii U does take over the living room.
