We are a Nintendo family, and have owned just about every Nintendo console since the NES. If you are a pure gamer that loves major action games (Call of Duty, Halo, etc) this system is not what you are looking for. But if you are looking for a fun console for family or to entertain a lot of kids (even teenagers and young adults) the Wii U is a great console. My kids (both in their early 20's) have been inviting friends over to play Mario Kart 8, Nintendo Land, Super Smash Brothers, and our old Wii's Mario Party game. They've been having an absolute blast and its great watching them and their friends having some great times with this.

I picked this bad boy up on Thanksgiving night and I have yet to have any issues. Splatoon and Smash Bros. will keep you busy. Miiverse and online play is pretty great. The console is exactly the quality I expect from Nintendo.
I know what you're thinking... "Nintendo has lost their touch and Microsoft and Sony are just doing it all better." But let me tell you why you're wrong... The 3rd party support isn't the greatest, but what Nintendo offers that Microsoft and Sony don't is a unique and fun experience, designed to push the limits of gaming. They aren't as concerned with graphics, but don't let that deter you. This console goes up to 1080p (all games support it) so you are getting the same beautiful graphics as your Xbox One and PS4.
No other console let's you do what you can with your controller. Nintendo is years ahead of the others with an adaptive touch-screen controller with some buttons for those who require that experience. A long battery life and high-res screen.
Anyway, the game selection is great even among the first-party titles and the community Nintendo has been cultivating. My only issue with this console is that it comes with Super Smash Bros and Splatoon installed on a 32 GB hard drive which is nothing for Splatoon, but Smash Bros plus the pre-installed software take up a majority of the space. However, the Wii U allows you to reformat your own personal USB external drives to store games and DLC digitally.So technically this console has as much memory as you need it to have...
Smash Bros is exactly what you expect and want. Splatoon is highly addictive, clever, and a ton of fun. I'm so glad I got the Wii U. It's a ridiculous deal to get two full games plus a console for under $300.

The Wii U is not the most powerful system in the game, but what it lacks in horsepower it makes up in pure joy. The games are incredibly fun. Splatoon, Nintendo's newest franchise, reinvents the multiplayer genre. It's worth the price of admission.

I was worried I would not like this bundle, I never heard of Splatton. The games ended being pretty fun. Two games and the wiiU is a good deal, the other bundle I would of gotten would of been the Mario Kart bundle.

I wasn't the most excited to buy a Wii U, but my wife has been loving spending the extra time with me with games that she appreciates as well. Super Mario 3D World is also out of this world great, and Smash Brothers is a blast. I am extremely happy with my purchase though, my only complaint is the unbelievably small amount of built in storage considering I live off of digital games.

I mainly bought this because I wanted to play games with my girlfriend and for when my sister and her son comes over to my house during winter holidays. The Super smash bros is a fun and entertaining game. I haven't played much of Splatoon yet cause its only a one player game. I purchased the mario 3d world and mario/luigi game which is now the go-to game for us. The gamepad itself is a new experience when playing certain games. I'm glad I got this and would recommend for family-fun gatherings

I was fortunate to pick this bundle up on Black Friday. It includes two of the best games on Wii U, for the same price as the other bundles which generally only include one game. The only complaint I have is the Wii U's memory. Both games are installed on the hard drive, so you won't have much room to store much else. Luckily, Wii U disc games don't install to the hard drive like other consoles.

Went into Best Buy at 9am on Black Friday morning and saw these very limited stacked neatly in the gaming section. Immediately picked one up and it was the best impulse buy I ever did. My daughter opened it up on Christmas morning and was jumping for joy because she wanted Splatoon and a WiiU for Christmas. Awesome buy. I would highly recommend it if you can find it.

We purchased the Wii U because the old Wii console would no longer read discs. It's been a great upgrade from the old Wii and we can use our old remotes and games with it. It was our family Christmas present and worth the money spent. My daughter loves Super Smash Bros and Splatoon.

Purchased as Christmas gift for small children. Easy set up great graphics. Kids love smash brothers more so than splatoon as gameplay is easy enough they can figure it out on their own. Splatoon was reason they wanted wii u.

The Wii U is truly Nintendo's best console yet, and does not get enough credit. It is also completely backwards compatible with Wii games, which goes overlooked too often.
