Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love that you don't need a TV to play. So my older son can play his PS4 at the same time.

Like it a lot. Graphics are great for their exclusive games. Use ps4 for third party games.

Easy to set up and downloads, Great I can use other already purchased Nintendo Products.

I originally bought the console just for Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros for myself but have found that its an amazing console to have during parties. There is a game for everyone on the wii u and it is sure to get any gathering up and having crazy fun. Absolutely love it!

Was one of the few able to purchase this on Black Friday. What a steal! I mean a Wii U plus 4 games for this price! Thank you BEST BUY!

The best gift to give anyone!! The graphics are way better than the wii and the games are a lot more fun especially using the game pad.

the wii u is a great console for kids and adults. It keeps the whole famility entertained

So the kids love it but I can't believe for the price you don't get a couple controllers.

Fun playing some classic characters with the new graphics for the younger generation.

I have never been a big fan of Nintendo. I really thought the Wii was a really sad system. Once I finally broke down and put my 6 year old and 11 year old a Wii 2 years ago I was very disappointed in the graphics quality and the overall experience especially considering that I'm an avid Xbox and PlayStation player player. However the Wii U seems to have made several strides in improving the overall experience. Not the biggest fan of the menu or the backwards compatibility screen. Which forces you to load the old Wii screen in order to play older games. But you still have to go back to the main we use green in order to play any newer games. I also think the main menu screen is very much over crowded with features that are not really useful to casual gamers. all in all though with the graphics and streaming capabilities and finally having high definition this is definitely a worthwhile addition to the Nintendo consoles.

My son has a blast with the system and being able to play without a tv is a plus for me

My kids like the system. They have not yet quite learned how to us all of the features.

I am very disappointed in the updates that were needed before my kids could use the system. It took almost 4 hrs on christmas morning before the first game was played. This is not good for impatient kids that want to play with there christmas present. I expect a company like nintendo to have a system ready to play out of the box.

Lots of NES->N64 games on the virtual console. Also controls TV volume which is nice.

Got this as a gift for my little brother, he loved it... Plays it almost everyday... The best thing about the Wii U is the Game pad

Bought for a college age person. It turned out to be so much fun. Can't wait for new 3D world type games in the future.

Bought for gift and is enjoyed daily since it was received. Very challenging at times.

This was a purchase that brought us into the world of Wii U. The kid loves it ...

Grew up on Nintendo, figured figured I would give the wii u a shot. So far so good

It has a nice separate console. Unfortately the new console does not play old games.
