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.

    Wii U is the only console worth buying.

    the other consoles, ps4 and Xbone, both are just computers at this point, and very, very underspec'd ones at that. they offer nothing of any new value. if you're going to game, do it on a pc. if you're going to game with friends, do it on the wii u. the games here are meant to be played with friends in the same room, which this console is great for! love the mario games, (mario kart, mario party, mario xyz.. you get the idea) bought this for super smash, was not disappointed w

    Good bundle

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

    The bundle is nice, although I would like to trade the game for another controller. It's a lot of fun for both kids and adults especially Super Mario Kart. The games are a bit difficult for a 5 year old but once started, they have no problem playing on their own.

    While the WII u started off to a SLOW start it is picking up steam. Great games are out and future ones are on the horizon.

    Great gaming system for amazing price

    The Nintendo Wii U is actually a great gaming system. Nintendo has made a lot of improvements for the Wii U. it has better graphics than the ps3 or xbox 360, new added online features, a updated and improved store for games and demos, and also is half the price of the other new systems. There are a lot of great games coming out now for the Wii U such as Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros WiiU and more. Another nice feature is the online play is free unlike xbox or playstation. if you dont have $500 laying around to buy a new xbox one or ps4, and want a new system that is fun for the whole family and hardcore gamers then why not get a WiiU. The fact that you can get the system, and two great games for $275 is a steal. Also comes with the tablet that you can play games, browse the internet, and watch Netflix on.

    2014 Christmas present

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

    My kids loved this bundle! I'm glad that we can still use the old Wii remotes with the console. They had a lot of fun playing it, we still have the old Wii, but the kids love this one even more! Christmas day, we had about 8 players, my husband used the big handheld remote, my nephews used their Nintendo 3DS's and the rest of the kids used their new Princess, Mario and Luigi remotes, it was a blast!

    I expected to be disappointed in this as I was buying it primarily for my 8yo son. I was not. With games like Mario kart 8 hyrule warriors and super smash Bros it's given me hours of enjoyment.

    Great combo deal

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

    System was easy to setup and perfect. Had the console for 1 month and no issues yet, I purchased the 2yr replacement warranty just in case. Purchasing games online takes a long time to download. I purchased a few games at 4gb each which took almost 4hrs to download. I have a 30mb download connection and still took a while. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

    Awesome Bundle

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

    As a long time Nintendo fan (and general all-around gamer) this system has proven to be A LOT of fun. My family has only played a few games so far, but we have enjoyed the entertainment value it has brought us tremendously. I'm really looking forward to expanding our game library and all of the other fun things Nintendo will bring the gaming community in the future.
