Nintendo Wii U Console - Black Deluxe Set

Ah the Wii U. How underrated you are. I know what most are going to say: the Wii U is dead, you should get the Switch. Though we'll detail that in a bit. Let's first talk about the console itself. The Wii U is Nintendo's first HD console, so if you're the kind who needs that HD, you finally got it here; (though graphical quality in games never bothered me much). The Wii U also supports traditional composite output, so whether you have an HD tv, or an older one, this console will work on it. It can even work on a dvd player with comppsite plugs or on a laptop or pc through a capture card. The system is home to a gaint hoat of games. While I'd argue Nintendo is still more on the expensive side compared to other consoles (say, the ps3) when it comes to ir's games, there's good reason for it. Most of their games are top notch. On top of the quality of the games, you have a vast host of them to play, as not only do you have Wii U games you can play, you also have the E Shop, which is host to many Virtual Console titles of the N64, NES, SNES, GBA, DS, and a few selects from the Wii (which can be cheaper then buying the original Wii disks). There's also indie games if that's your thing. On top of all of that, it has the Wii built into it, so you can play all of your Wii games on it from the disk through the Wii Menu. Which of course opens even more options. The best part involving this, is you can display all Wii games on the gamepad and tv, allowing you to play on just the gamepad with your tv off on ANY Wii title if you so choose, even splitscreen, and with the gamepad sporting it's own sensor bar (essentially making it a psuedo Switch). Though I can hear many of you now: this is all well and good but we already kbow this stuff and why buy this when we can get Switch? Well, while admittedly many games from Wii U have been ported to the Switch, and while it's POSSIBLE that the FREE online multiplayer capabilities of the Wii U COULD get shut down, there aren't too many online Wii U titles that support online as it is, and the console is still a good buy in it's own right depending on what you're looking for. Even if free online mulriplayer and even if (as unlikely as it is) the E Shop on Wii U both cease and absolutely all support for this console dies out, I'd still say it's worth purchasing. Not only can you (currently) get most of the Switch's games on Wii U (cuz they're Wii U ports), there are some experiences you can only experience on the Wii U you won't get on Switch. On top of that, off-TV play is supported in a lot of games allowing you to play on the gamepad itself, games that support 2 player without the need to split the screen, Mario Maker and Splatoon can still be enjoyed even IF Nintendo shuts all support down; (albeit Splatoon will be limitedto Sinfle Player Campaign, Amiibo challenges, and Battle Dojo, and Mario Mario would be limited to creating levels yourself or playing the built in levels, bith would still be enjoyable), as every other Wii game would, you can watch youtube, crunchyroll, and browse the internet; all in all, the system isn't nearly as bad as everyone claims it is, and is cheaper then Switch with even more retro experiences then Switch has so far. In regards to people who say to get a Switch rather then a Wii U, for the price of the Switch ($300), I got this Wii U console from Amazon Warehouse, an ethernet adaptor for it, and many games, whereas if i were to have instead gotten Switch, I'd have only had 1 game, and that's assuming I had an extra $60 on top of the original $300. While this console may be 'dead', as many say, so too are the Playstation 2, Sega Genesis, and Nintendo 64, yet you don't see people bashing those as they do the Wii U, do you? The Wii U is a fantastic console, in spite of it's failure from a marketing standpoint, and I'd recommended it to anyone looking for a versitile local multiplayer console with a large game library.

So no offense many loved it personally I hated the Wii. When I got home from work last thing I wanted to do was fling my arms all over like a monkey an act like I was hahving fun. I ended up selling the Wii an bought a Xbox an PS3 which I love. The new ZombiU for Wii U did catch my eye though an the fact that the console is OMG yes finally HD!!!, is why I purchased a Wii U. Well I ordered the Wii U from Amazon last week an got it yesterday. First thing I noticed when taking it out of the box is the quality. I don't pick sides like alot of people do with consoles, I just buy the console that has the games I think look good. But growing up usually it was a Nintendo console we all liked to play. For quality I will def give the Wii U a 5/5 it is quiet an quite hefty for the size which is half of what the Xbox 360S is an solid feeling. It can be laid flat or upright however you prefer. The deluxe set I purchased came with a sensor bar if you wanna play your old Wii games with the nun chucks but.........hell no I kept that in the box haha. Next the controller which is what i was most worried on is now laid to rest. It is comfortable to hold the layout might take a little getting use to but one thing is for sure the quality of the controller also is better then any consoles controller i've ever seen. The features of the console an controller are also great. I see some amazing uses in the future with this controller. For features i'll have to say a 4/5 because it doesn't have a dvd/blu ray player but Nintendo is all about gaming an they do offer Netflix an more to watch so that rating could be looked at both ways. One very cool thing is the game cd's are Blu Ray so they can't get scratched which is great for kids. Now for how the console looks an plays. First game I played was ZombiU an honestly it is probably the best zombie game i've played. It looks as good as any zombie game for the Xbox or PS3 but where it shines is it's features with the controller. I also know Ubisoft mentioned that ZombiU only uses about 25% of the Wii U's power an if so I can't wait to see what future games will look like. The game controlled great an the sound was superb I will def have to say a 5/5 with my first game. Nintendo has a console that can do a billion things over what the original Wii could an is so much different yet backwards compatible for if anyone wants to play there old Wii games. If they do this right Nintendo's Wii U could be quite amazing an the winner of the next console wars. I would recommend the Wii U to anyone it finally got the horrid taste of the first Wii out of my mouth an is so much fun.

Don't listen to the Nintendo haters; now that Nintendo is actually putting out some actual games for the system, the Wii U is definitely worth the purchase. Pikmin 3 and EarthBound (yes, they FINALLY released EarthBound for Virtual Console!!!) are reasons ALONE to own a Wii U. I'm highly impressed with the whole Gamepad thing; it's far more fun than I thought it would be, especially with multiplayer (I hope they do more Nintendo Land style things, because that was WAY more fun than "Wii Play" ever was, lol). I don't know, you can brag about all the "features" and "multiplayer-ness" that the other consoles have all you want, but let's be honest, is online multiplayer really that big a deal anymore? It's all the same to me; jerks who yell at you from across the world for not being good at the game, or for being better at them at the game. I much prefer this simple, fun system that I can sit down and play with my girlfriend and just have an absolute blast with. And again, any online, third party crap that I want to play, I have or can get on Steam. Why would you ever want to play a generic crappy shooter game on a Nintendo console anyway? Bring back Jet Force Gemini and then we'll talk, but otherwise... Anyway, all arguments aside, I'm satisfied with my purchase and I highly reccomend a Wii U to anyone who loves gaming for what gaming was originally meant for; fun. It's an escape from reality, something to RELIEVE your stress, not add to it.

Me encantan las consolas de Nintendo porque para mi un videojuego debe divertirte, y las consolas de Nintendo ofrecen diversión para toda la familia.

I prefer the Wii Virtual console (should be how they play wii, rather than Wii Menu), Netflix channel is better on the Wii in the GUI area. The system is very awesome, with incredible features, you can run the game and TV. It's better than anything out there now. Still uses removable media. Annoying it won't search for your ethernet, but even wireless, updates don't take that long. A good download manager. Basic is worth much less than the difference in cost. Nintendo Land is a good amusement, especially for getting use to the system quickly. I hate all the DLC in this world and some things actually don't annoy you with endless mods and crap for extra cost still. I mean, add it to the sequel and I'll get a disk.

The Wii U, introduced by Nintendo, is the latest HD console to hit the gaming market. Like many, I was a little apprehensive about purchasing this new hardware as some individuals expressed dissatisfaction towards the product; however, after owning the console for more than a week, I can safely say that it has exceeded my expectations on every level. The Wii U is great as one can play a game, for example Mario U, on either the T.V. screen or the 6 inch screen gaming tablet (included) thus effectively removing the dependance of playing on the big screen. The latter allows your family members to watch their favorite T.V. show or movie on the T.V. screen while independently playing on the gaming tablet. Simply put, this feature comes very handy. Furthermore, the console boasts 1080p graphics, an online community (Miiverse) where one can interact with fellow gamers around the world about their favorite games, a streaming application called TVii (coming late December release) for active users of Netflix and an Internet Browser. Effectively, I can see this console being my main gaming hub and much more. Furthermore, all Wii games and remotes will be compatible with this new version. Hence, I am very content with my purchase and expect many great things from Nintendo - this console has a lot of potential. P.S. If this purchase is for your kid for Christmas, please do yourself a favor and plug the machine prior to Christmas as there is a mandatory update to be downloaded. It would be a travesty to have to wait 1 hour to play during Christmas before playing.
