Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the many games, especially those appealing to a wide range of players, and find the gamepad intuitive and easy to use. The system's ease of use and fun factor are also frequently praised, along with its price point. However, some customers point to the battery life of the gamepad and the lack of third-party game support as shortcomings.

    A Very Underrated System

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This system often gets overlooked since it's not as powerful as the Xbox One and PS4. But after owning this system for a month now, I honestly play it more than my Xbox One. Mario 3D World, Smash, and Mario Kart are phenomenal games that make the Wii U worth owning. No regrets with my purchase.

    I bought the Wii U with the Mario 3D World game, and it's awesome! I love how the Wii controllers can be used on the Wii U, so I didn't have to buy any new ones. The gamepad is very convenient because it acts like the TVs remote. You can draw on it, take pictures, and of course play the games.

    I bought this to complement my Xbox One. I bought this for some of the games that are only available on the Wii. This is one game system that me and my friends have a lot of fun using. It is easy to hook up and unhook as I take it over to my different friend's houses every week to play.

    Bought for my family for Christmas, and it is a huge hit with the whole family. Has games for all ages, including all of the typical Mario type games only found on this platform. All in all, easy to set up, and it's nice being able to use all the old Wii games and controllers with the Wii U.

    I'll admit I was dubious about whether we needed a new system from Nintendo, but I was very wrong. The HD graphics look incredible especially on Nintendo titles. The game pad is ingenious and allows me to continue playing my games even if someone wants to watch something else on the TV.

    I gave this to my sister and her family for Christmas. I thought that between four kids I would end up spending about this much anyway. Best idea ever! They love it! The best thing about Nintendo is everyone can play it. Everyone loved it. It was their favorite present and I'm the cool Aunt.

    my 8 yr old daughter loves this bundle as well and myself Mario has always been a game fav and the style and size of bundle makes it easy to fit in almost any spot in our tv stand also the ds part of the game where we can change the channel and still play the game is by far the best thing!!

    This system is much easier to use than previous versions and is much more suited for entire family of all ages than other systems (which we also have and seem to be geared for older teens and adults). It was very easy to set up and everyone who has used it has loved it - regardless of age.

    I'm very pleased with the Wii U its very nice in appearance, the graphics are great and its a joy to play especially with the gamepad having its own screen and being able to game from different locations within the home. My son loves it and it was a great price compared to other places.

    I am absolutely satisfied with my purchase. I was debating which system to get for over a year when I realized the one that lived up to it's promises, with the best exclusives is the Wii U. There is a rich catalog of single player and multiplayer games that hasn't disappointed me yet.

    This is a small unit that can have large rewards in satisfaction for your gamer. It can be portable or can be linked to your tv for larger screen view. It is simple to connect to your tv and simple to take away. There is a sync option so players in the same household can play together.

    The kids and I love this version of the WII. Its so much fun to pass the game pad around so everyone gets a chance to use it. Had to decide between 3 different gaming systems to buy this year, so glad we got this one. Got a great deal at BestBuy and it even came with 2 games. Awesome.

    This package is great for families! All of us play together and have lots of fun! We didn't think we would like the nintendoland game that also came with the system, but it's basically lots of little games in one. Bottom line, if you have kids, this system will be worth your money!

    Bought it for my sons, 7 and 4 years old. They love it. Can't go wrong with super Mario. My only hesitation is wondering how long Nintendo will support this console. It can't compete with Xbox and ps for hardcore gamers and Nintendo is taking some big losses. Overall great product.

    I've always been interest in playing video games but I've been undecided. But this console caught my eye and read some reviews plus some Best Buy associates gave us a great orientation and made the decision easier

    Santa brought this for my kids (4, 5, & 6) over Christmas and my kids love it. The games that come pre-installed are more than enough to keep them entertained. They especially like the games in Nintendo Land which really make use of the unique tablet and regular wii remote setup.

    I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend. I was hesitant at first as she never plays video games, and I was surprised when she asked for one. She really likes it and I find myself enjoying it as well. I was not impressed by the Wii, which wasn't HD capable, but this little system is quite nice and has let me enjoy many of the classic Nintendo licenses I have missed out on since I retired my N64 years ago. I really like that it has the ability to play games on the controller screen itself which leaves the TV free for other activities. The UI is a bit clunky compared to Sony's and the online features seem more like a tack on than a well integrated part of the system like PSN. I haven't delved into them much, but this doesn't look like much a multimedia box either. However, those are minor quibbles when I purchased this solely as a gaming device, and it does that very well with a game library with fun titles for everyone in the family.

    Have had this for about a month now and my 4 y/o, 8 y/o and myself had had an absolute blast with it. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves games and is looking for that "Nintendo Magic", but I would especially suggest it for anyone who wants to game with their children.
