Must have, for all those classic Nintendo fun
PostedSeptember 28, 2013
Its been a rough year for this console. but now things are starting to pickup and now its the most use console in my house hold. yes a ps4 is coming soon to my family of gaming but thats not bringing in mario, zelda donkey kong etc or giving a new experience to play. WiiU is not as high power as the other next gen console coming soon but it gets the job done and does it well in a Nintendo style kind of way.

Poor man's console with a high price
PostedSeptember 27, 2013
I owned mine for about a month before abandoning it. After my experience with it i would say it's only worth the purchase if it were priced at around 230$ (and that's for the premium console). Even then i would expect very little 3rd party support as the tech powering the Wii U is 5 years old, making it marginally better then the PS3 and Xbox360 but when you take into account the lack of a decent Hard Drive and the inability to install retail games (which would go long way to reduce excessive loading times) both of which Sony and MS are offering. The Wii U does have one stand out feature though which is both a curse and blessing and that's the tablet/game pad controller a blessing because it adds features like off screen play and much easier navigation of Apps like youtube, web browsing etc. But a curse as it has not proved it's value in games (where it matters) and added a higher price tag to the console. Anyway hope my comments help prospective buyers

WAIT FOR THE XBOX ONE OR PS4!!!

The xbox one or ps4 will be so much better. In graphics, gameplay, and value. Save your money and wait.

Let me start by saying, this bundle will be 299 officially on the 20th, if you are looking wait till then. The system has great functionality, tv remote on the gamepad, free Multiplayer for online gaming. We are getting closer and closer to the best season for wii u with; Super mario 3d world,DOnkey Kong,Wonderful 101,Sonic:Lost World to name a few of the first party titles hitting this year. FOr 3rd party we have Cod:ghost, AC4,Watch Dogs,Batman:arkham origins, Splinter cell:Blacklist all out this year. The eshop has great nostalgia value with Snes.Nes titles and more to come. if you like Indie gaming this system has that as well, so overall great range of products available on this system. I hope you all get to enjoy it as much as i have, since Launch day, great system great buy.
