Nice little powerful machine
5
Posted by: from Florida on 01/29/2013As a Nintendo fanboy, I've always favored the Big N over its competitors: SEGA, Sony and Microsoft, I had a GameCube, not an Xbox or a PS. I preferred the Wii over the obviously more powerful PS3 and X360. And now, I decided to get a WiiU instead of the PS4 or whatever comes next. I don't consider myself a casual player, nor a hardcore gamer. As an 'in beetween', I like to have fun while playing a game. I don't like to get frustrated in a certain game because its complexity, and its '12 finger +4 toes' control schemes. I really enjoyed simple games. Now, the WiiU seems to be keeping the same line of games, as well as showing a launch roster with some mature titles as well. I am currently enjoying Assassin's Creed III. Money wise, this console cost the same as a PS3, so, it comes out cheap considering it's a new system. However, if you think about the extra space you need for your new games, prepare to spend about $100 extra in an external HDD.

My kids are enjoying it, but I am looking for more

Posted by: from Gurnee, IL on 01/25/2013This is a solid product with a unique user interface. However, the current roster of games doesn't really take advantage of the UI. If Zelda, Smash Brothers, and the other Nintendo franchises prove innovative, then the system would easily get a 5 star rating.

It's a wii & ds combined
5
Posted by: from Brainerd,MN on 01/21/2013PROS: Function - nice to decide between playing on the pad controller itself or watching it on tv. And also being able to use old wii items with it. CONS: Pretty much the same as a wii, it's like buying another console except with unique controller. Costly, and new games are just as costly.
