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.

    Awesome console. Love that it supports HDMI, and the hardware is very intuitive. Gamepad is actually a very viable controller, even shooters.

    The Wii U is a good time! Smash, Mario Party, Mario Kart..no complaints here...and it's finally in HD. Netflix could be better on it!

    This bundle would be better without the nintendo land game that is pretty close to useless. Should replace it with a pro controller.

    There are fewer and fewer games coming out for nintendo consoles. But the WiiU revives the ability to expand on limited software.

    This is a great console, the only thing why I didn´t rate it 5 it´s because the basic bundle should bring at least one wii mote.

    I wasn't sold on the wii-u until I got the gamepad in my hands. I can play on the gampad while my gf watches tv or I can watch football and she still has something to do. It's awesome!

    Even though other consoles on the market beat the Wii u in graphical ability, the Wii u just has the corner on whimsical multiplayer fun that I haven't experienced in a long time. I, an older gamer who spent many years playing Xbox and playstation, was trepidatious about buying an Nintendo console. Yet even though broad sales of this console haven't picked up this console has hit the right notes with me finding myself spending more time playing the wii-u while my ps4 is gathering dust. If you are looking for a console for young ones, or want a system to spend hours of humorous camaraderie with friends in the same room this is the console for you.

    X-mas Gift

    As far as the product itself I don't know yet due to it being a x-mas present. However I could not be any more happy with the service I received while purchasing the Wii U. I did not know anything in the world of gaming and the one that helped me was so helpful. I did not feel like he was trying to jack up my purchase at all. He was very informative on what exactly I would need and he also showed me what some of the symbols mean for the games and controllers. Very pleasant experience and the Holland, Ohio location!

    A decent replacement for the Nintendo Wii. Built more for the younger ones but won't completely bore the older ones either.

    My wife and I are very pleased with the Wii U and all it's features. The dual screen experience is wonderful, and the games and gameplay are up to the usual Nintendo standard level of quality. I just wish the battery on the Wii U controller lasted a bit longer.
