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.

    Christmas purchase for my friends and family to play together! Everything worked great and we bought 2 extra games to play all night long! I even got a price match and they changed it right away without any fuss.

    Just as all Nintendo consoles, this one is also very fun. It is enjoyable especially when friends are also playing along. The Super Mario 3D World game that came along with the Wii U is also extremely fun.

    Everything a Nintendo lover would want. Old and new games alike find their home on Wii U, and still many great titles to be released in the upcoming years.

    The Nintendo Wii U is an excellent console for the money. Their are lots of console only games such as Mario, Super Smash, Donkey Kong. The gamepad is unique and adds another element to gaming experience.

    The graphics are good, the games are fun. I love that it comes with 2 games preloaded & that you can purchase additional games to download online. What a great idea - no need to worry about scratches anymore!

    I purchased my Wii U because I'm excited for Super Mario Maker. To hold me over I've picked up a few titles (Mario kart 8, new super Mario bros u, zombie u) to hold me over. I've really enjoyed the games so far. The gamepad is interesting. The only real use I've gotten from it is off screen play while my wife watches tv. I like that it is backwards compatible with Wii games.

    Super Fun for the kids

    Been a gamer all my life. So I told myself that when I have kids, I would like for them to enjoy playing video games as much as I did (I still do, but I'm more of a pc gamer, not into consoles). I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and oh boy, she loves it. She only plays it on weekends though, but I'm glad the Mario games are still nice and that I bought a Nintendo. I don't care much for the PS/XBox, because as I've mentioned, I'm a PC gamer. When the time comes when my 2-year old son learns how to play video games, then I will probably consider the other consoles.

    Worth it even if you own an original Wii

    My husband and I bought this about a month ago. We do have an original Wii. We have hosted two parties so far where we played games on "Game and Wario", and it was a great success both times. The addition of the Wii U game pad makes things really interesting. No troubles with setup or operation so far. We had to figure out how to de-pair Wii remotes from the original Wii to the Wii U, but we figured it out. (It's easy.) The Wii U is backwards compatible with most games so you do not lose the ability to play those games. Highly recommended if you enjoy playing group games.

    I think it's cool that they have hyrule warriors because it's dynasty warriors and Zelda put together. Mario cart , the controller is awesome you don't even really need a tv to play it.. it's worth it..

    Wii U is a great system with an amazing controller. This is my second system, although I have all of them. Games are limited from third party but I have this for Nintendo line of games and Bayonetta 2.

    I absolutely love this new wii. It allows you to have real controllers like the old Nintendo games. Plus they're bringing back a lot of games I played as a child. I would recommend this in a heart beat!

    My 15 year old played this at a friends house and has wanted it ever since. We surprised him with it for his birthday and he loves it. We also love the old school games that can be downloaded as well.

    Nintendo Wii U is a fantastic system. A lot of fun. Comes with NintendoLand, which is a great time. And Super Mario 3D world, also a great time. I definitely recommend this, especially if you like the Wii

    The gamepad is probably the best part of the Wii U. Sure, the graphics and audio are great on the tv screen, but it's really awesome that I can watch TV and play games on the gamepad at the same time.

    Wii U a big hit in our house

    We purchased this for my son for Christmas. My husband and I felt silly buying the Wii U when we had a perfectly good Wii at home. The Wii U does have some really nice features though. You can still play your existing games on it, you can transfer your information and what is really nice is that with the handheld console, he can continue his game if I need to use the TV.

    Bought this for me and my wife. A lot of fun for us both. She doesn't like the other systems so she really wanted this one. I was skeptical, but I have gotten to love it. Great games. So much fun.
