Awesome Beans
PostedNovember 3, 2013
When I first heard about the Wii U in 2012, I was excited! I knew that I couldn't pass up this console. Also, I new that Nintendo has never disappointed me (until the 2DS, yes we get how you guys want a handheld for children... Blah blah, whatever.) I recently got the console and let me tell you, it is amazing sauce. Console: Nice sleek design, although for the finger prints all over it.. Eh, but still shiny and pretty. MiiVerse: Awesome for those who love online interaction. I, for one, am a little socially awkward when it comes to talking to people I do not know. But that is my error, no Nintendo so we are cool here. Internet Browser: Freaking awesome sauce! It is like have a mini computer holding in your hands. The pages load fast and Youtube is amazing in it. Youtube: Haven't tried the app, but I have heard the internet browser YT is a ton better.
Overall: Great console. A little slow here and there but that doesn't bother me. Can't wait to pack on more games to play and enjoy. I recommend this to anyone out there who is unsure about getting one. You wont regret it! :)

Great system!

The wii U is most definitely an under rated gaming system. Nintendo has managed to keep the family friendly aspect of the Wii, but also made a stride to get back some of the hardcore gamers. The wii U has all of your typical games (CoD, Batman, AC, ect.) and also many Nintendo greats (Super mario U, Wind Waker HD, even nintendo land is decent). I came from a hardcore xbox gamer, to this system and I am very happy about the switch. I actually traded in all of my 360 games and system to have store credit to get all of the games I wanted. While this system may not stack up graphics wise to the ps4 and xb1 it does have better graphics than the current gen, which is more than enough. CoD BO2 looks just as good on the Wii U if not better than it did on the 360. They have also tried to add alot of things to make you feel tied to a community if you so choose to do so. Also having the option to hook up ANY external HDD to add storage if needed is amazing . Overall this is a great option if you want to still play all your favorite core games, as well as some nostalgic Nintendo favorites.
This Is probably the best system for a family or couple that wants to play games together. The games are so good if you are a kid or an adult it really just is fun the games on here aren't all killing and shooting and going online to play 2 players (although there are games on here like that) the games are fun and any one can pick up and play they have really good adventures and stories and characters we all love like Mario or Zelda and all kinds of others. The games are so relaxing and make you feel good This is really a must buy its great to play if you are have a girl friend or boy friend I really recommend buying this system if you are looking to play games and families as well its just so much fun I love it

Best Nintendo System Yet
PostedOctober 4, 2013
The Wii U is everything the Wii was and SO much more. I bought this system a few months ago, and I must say, it is incredible. It's such a HUGE upgrade from the Wii. The Wii seemed really cool when it first came out, but then when you see it next to the Xbox 360 (which is even older than the Wii) the Wii is garbage. Terrible graphics, with only a handful of decent games. However, the Wii U has INCREDIBLE HD graphics! I can't wait to play Zelda U when it comes out. Also, the gamepad is really great. When I saw it for the first time I was a bit skeptical. I thought it would be confusing trying to look at the gamepad to the TV screen and back again, but it's not hard at all! It feels natural and easy, just like playing a DS or 3DS system. So over all, I am very pleased with it.
