I got the white wii u when it first came out and love it. But due to the fact that at the time there was really no good games for it, I ended up getting rid of it. Now there are great game for this system and even more to come. Now is the time to get a wii u.

The Wii U gets a lot of bad press, but for any game enthusiast or just general Nintendo fan this console has a lot going for it. I never purchase a lot of games during the life of a console so having hundreds to choose from is not necessary. The Wii U hits all the right spots with Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8 and the upcoming Zelda game. So far I have loved playing and so have my young children, and that is the most important aspect of the console. We have fun with it.

Love the wiiu. I actually really like the game pad so you can play and watch tv. The Internet works very well and it is much easier to stream videos than the wii. It is the next thing for Nintendo and if you're a fan, you'll end up getting it eventually.

Our family received this as a gift and we have all enjoyed using it - easy to play on and difficult levels for the more advanced - good to have parent and kid interaction or just one or the other. We are pleased with our purchase of the WiiU bundle pack!

I waited way too long to buy this console. The first party games are the reason to buy. Mario 3D, Mario/Luigi U, and Hyrule Warriors should be the first games you buy. The game pad is very easy to get used to, and offers a completely new experience playing off TV. Graphics are amazing over HDMI. Why are you still reading, go buy it!

We bought it for our kids who are younger in age and they love it. Very user friendly and many age appropriate options versus other consoles that appeared to be geared to older generations. We loved it so much we bought other sets as gifts for family.

Hard not to love the WiiU with two kids ages 6 and 8. Nintendo has always done well for the younger gamers, with great games like MarioKart and Super Mario World 3D. The gamepad that can be used with the TV off is a high-value feature for our family.

I am very glad that I finally decided to get a Wii U. The kids love it, and have been enjoying every game they have tried. I'm a huge fan of being able to sneak in some Hyrule Warriors on the game pad, while my wife watches Food Network on the TV.

My son received this for Christmas and was thrilled beyond words. Nintendo has never let us down. This item is 2 games in one. He can play on the tv or just using the game pad. So many options. Only wish there were more games to purchase for it.

We are loving the new Nintendo Wii U. Great that you can play the old games on the new box. I don't think there is any other game out there that lets you keep and use all your old games. The new games that are out there to play are so much fun.

First of all the price of this game machine is great. The quality of the games are also very good. Wii U allows us to use the internet for free if you have WiFi, we can also watch youtube videos through it, and also watch Netflix movies through it, all this for no extra charges. The games are usually highly rated and the service is all good. Graphics are great, sound also great. Is the best deal in a game console for 2014-2015. I recommend it.

Nintendo is really coming into their own with this system. Its the perfect time to buy as there are so many amazing games out right now. Plus, you can use/play all your old Wii games and accessories with this system as well. Its a no brainer.

I have played every Nintendo console since the regular NES. I waited for more first games to begin being released before I bought it. I also have a PS4, but you can't compare the two. People need to remember that Nintendo is its own thing.

My 10 and 8 year old received it for Christmas and think it is much better than original Wii. Great to be able to play on the tablet, while someone else can watch TV. The whole family has been playing Mario 3-D World together, lots of fun!

I love this video game console, I really do! It's one of the best ones I ever had, I really like the game pad. And the fact that you can connect easier into the game community online. It's defiantly worth recommend this console to anybody
