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.

    I bought the Wii U for my kids, its a very powerful console, but more important are the games. Many games that are good for kids are by Nintendo.

    This was a Christmas gift for my daughter. It only took a few days to recieve my order. Everything was packaged well, no damage, and arrived earlier than expected. I love ordering from Bestbuy This is also a great deal. I'd spend an extra $ in another store for the same thing.

    Nintendo did good with this console. Added a lot more features than the previous console. It has many ways to keep you connected with other players around the world and they have made great games for it! It was worth upgrading to a Wii U console. I am one Satisfied customer.

    Decent Game System

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

    This is a decent game system. Much better than the original Wii. If you are a hardcore Nintendo fan and wish to continue to play classic titles from Nintendo then this is a good system to have. Most titles are kid friendly and if you have a family with younger children then this system will provide years of fun. If you are a more serious gamer than the xbox one or ps4 is for you.

    Great Bundle!

    Purchased the bundle for Christmas. The kids love all the games that came with it. I think I also have played them as much as the kids. I love the fact that I can still watch my programs on TV while the kids use the handheld screen to play. Great Idea!

    I love Nintendo, so I couldn`t love this console here. It hás really good games. Bayonneta 2, Super Mario 3d World, Mario Kart 8, Pikmin 3, Smash Bros and others. If you want a good videogame system for your kid, that`s the answer. The big problem here is the lack of good third party support.

    First off I think this is a great second console for a PS or Xbox owner to have. Its a fun family console with access to those exclusive nintendo titles. I'm really glad I added it to my home. Its great fun for the family.

    Awesome Game System

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

    Perfect game system for me. I'm not interested in the "shoot them up" war game simulations, I'm more interested in fitness/movement games like bowling, golf. The WiiU incorporates the need to be active and move very well.

    I had my doubts about the Wii U, I wasn't a huge fan of the Wii. But this console is awesome. It works well and has lots of great games to accompany it. I've had my console for a year and it continue to work perfectly.

    Kids favorite

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

    The kids absolutely love the Nintendo Wii U. It is easy to use and has many kid friendly titles. You won't find all of the war games and ultra realistic looking games on the Wii U. You will however find games that are fun to play and bring you back again and again. Nintendo has done it again.

    Excellent Gaming Console

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

    I got the Wii U in order to play Super Smash Bros. Wii U. The game is excellent, but other titles are solid performers as well. The games and graphics are definitely high quality and great for playing with friends. The GamePad was larger than I was expecting, putting it firmly in tablet territory, but is still very comfortable and easy to use.

    I also own an Xbox one, but after purchasing this item I haven't used it in awhile. This system is oriented to group play with family/friends and is loads of fun!

    Not only an amazing gaming platform, with backwards compatibility with my Wii (and easy save/data transfer), but this is an amazing MEDIA center too!

    This is the best console Nintendo has made since the N64. The tablet is not too heavy for kids and I love watching Netflix and Hulu on it.

    Easy to put together and load. HDMI cord provided was 6 ft and I needed 8ft to make the connection, but otherwise was seamless.

    I've owned every Nintendo system since the NES and each offers a new experience and a lot of fun. The Wii U is no different.

    Fun Upgrade to Wii

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

    One of the nicest things about upgrading to the Wii U is that if someone is watching the TV, a lot of Wii U can be done on the controller screen - watch Netflix, play games. It helps manage screen time for multiple people.
