Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great system. Great graphics. Great games. Fun for every age. There's really something for everyone. And the handheld gaming option is great when two people want to play a system or TV at the same time.

Love the new WiiU. Graphics are really sharp and enjoy the internet connection using the game pad. Glad it came with its own HDMI cable. The games that came with the bundle are great, too. Easy set up!

The Wii U is a fun little machine that has plenty of great Nintendo games to play on it. The problem is, there are barely any third party games for it and the first party releases are few and far between. There is hardly any storage space on the machine and the game pad/tablet drains battery quickly. But it has some great games you can't play anywhere else.

Hours and hours of fun...Not only for the family but a lot of fun for myself ! Comes with a few good games to get you going ! Defiantly recommend !

I've always enjoyed the Nintendo systems over other consoles out there. I bought this along with Mario Kart 8 and it's been a lot of fun to play. I've had it for almost a week now and thanks to the snow I've been able to sit at home and play it a few times. I like how Nintendo sticks to their original format and makes their games enjoyable for people at all gaming levels. I can also rent movies via Amazon Prime or Netflix which is cool. The only downside I've found so far is the numerous updates the system does. It's a little bit of a pain to sit and wait for update after update (even though it only takes a few minutes). Overall I feel this is yet another great product by Nintendo.

I finally upgraded to the Wii U and my expectations were surpassed! HD support, more interactivity, a great game selection and the awesome handheld game pad make this updated Wii a must have!

This is a great system. I skipped the Wii because of Xbox 360 and PS3. The last Nintendo i had was gamecube. My daughter wanted this because of Mario 3D. Made a great purchase. The system is amazing. We play mario 3d together all of the time. I Like the video on the controller. If i am watching tv she can still play or we can both play on both screens. The video controller isnt the most comfortable at times so i purchased a wii u pro. The only problem i saw here for mario 3d is u need the touchscreen controller do do certain things. The system software seems slow at times but nothing to really bark at. The only other game I have us mario kart and its fun as well.

It is a great console for families and friends who just want to have fun and play for recreation. Many of the games include more than one player and many hours of fun! It is amazing!

I purchased the 32GB Wii U, and have never had second thoughts. It's family friendly, fun, and has some amazing games. Mario-Kart alone...Well, that should do it for most gamers!!!

That fact that you can play these games while your kids watch TV is worth every penny and I love the throw back games. The controller is big but works well as a off tv controller.

No need to be skeptical about this console, once you get the gamepad in your hands and start playing, all your skepticism will go away. I love how the Wii U plays and feels, the gamepad is super lightweight so don't worry about it being too heavy for anyone to use. I have a 4 year old son that absolutely loves this system! Can't tear him away from it, which is the only drawback. The system also has the capability to transfer game play to the gamepad and allow the TV to be freed up, imagine that! Your kid is playing a game that just can't be turned off or he or she will lose their progress and at the same time you would like to watch TV.

I'll be honest and admit that I'm what you would classify as a "hardcore" gamer and I looked down my PS4-snobbified nose at the WiiU given its inability to produce true hi-def graphics, its inability to play blu-rays, and its lack of 3rd-party game developer support. But you know what, when you fire up the system, play some Nintendo-only games like Mario Kart, Super Mario World 3D, Smash Bros, or Zelda, you realize that Nintendo may have limited its system in some ways, but what it does, it does AMAZINGLY WELL. I have no regrets about owning the system and it allows me to get my Nintendo franchise fixes when they come along.

Great selection of games in the Nintendo store that you can purchase from your controller and also a nice selection from 3rd party that you can purchase online or in stores.

My six year old son really loves the Wiiu. Very easy to use and the games are really age appropriate. Great system for the whole family with a great selection of family games.

I loved the wii u we got it for Christmas for our little ones after trying to decide what we were going to get after doing a lot of research we found that, you could use other controllers for the wii u other then one style of remotes, which is great for those old school players or for those kids that got used to the wii controllers then you can use them as well! I also like the fact there was so many games to chose from and you can even use your wii game on it awesome! The only down side is if you have little ones they may not be happy waiting for updates just to play a game, so may need to preoccupy them for a little while!

I bought this and I like it. I like that you can also download some of the games from Nintendo 64, GameCube, NES, and SNES games to the Wii u for a small price. So now I can play some of the games that I loved playing as a kid. The one thing about this Wii U is that it does not come with any extra controllers. You have to buy them separately. The only controller that comes with it is the bulky one with the screen on it. I believe it's the master controller which you can also use to play games. Some people may prefer this controller to use, but I went out and bought a separate one which I like better.

I recently purchased the wiiU in place of my wii. Had the wii for a few years and only purchased one game, the new super Mario for the wii. It was a great game and fun but got board real quick with it. I have always wanted mario kart and never purchased it for the Wii. Then I saw the previews for mario kart 8 on Wii U and couldn't resist. And I have already bought 3 other games as well, which Is 3 more than I had for my Wii. :) I absolutely love the interactive remote. I love that I can play on the remote and someone can watch tv at the same time. I have nothing negative to say about the wiiU thus far

The Wii U is a lot of fun, good for any age and easy to use. I wasn't very sure on the controller with the screen it but now I'm hooked. Nintendo for life baby

Easy to set up. Great family friendly games available such as Mario, Disney, and Lego. Backwards compatible with older Wii games. High Definition visuals.

Lots of great games featuring iconic characters. Nintendo might not have the system with the most flash but it definitely has the most pure fun games.
