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 love that everything about the wii u is completely kid friendly and fun for adults as well. My 5 year old loves it and so does my 25 year old boyfriend. Its easy to navigate and graphics are great. Its so amazing what they've done since we started playing these Nintendo games when I was young.

    I have had Nintendo WIIU for about 6weeks and it has so far exceeded my expectations. My 2 and 8yr olds both can't get enough of it. The beauty of the fact that one can continue playing on the game pad when the other wants to watch something on T.V cannot be over stated. I'm happy I bought it.

    This Wii U is the greatest thing ever you can play a game on the television with numerous people and when everyone else wants to do something different or watch tv one person can take the screen controller and play by themselves it also is useful on it does not always use up a television.

    My kids love playing the Wii U. Nintendo land Mario kart and the new smash brothers game are all they play. I would do this again.

    It's a good system to play with your friends. Have yet to play other games on the system. Though Mario Maker looks promising.

    Bought it for my children for Christmas. They love it. The game pad is awesome they love it. What sold me on it was its backwards compatible with the original system. My kids aren't into sports or first person shooting games so this system fit our needs best. They love Super Smash Bros.

    I bought this for my son and he loves it. He got the regular Wii when it first came out, and it still works but he had been eyeing the Wii U. This was his Christmas surprise and he hasn't stopped playing it. The upgrades made buying a new one when the old one worked more than worth it.

    Love Mario games they are tons of fun! So I bought my wii u and it's been great fun for the whole family, but I think it's overpriced the plastic on the pad feels really cheap and the battery life runs out very quick, I would recommend getting extra controllers or an extension power cord so you can plug in the pad, other then being overpriced and battery life on pad it's a great console for the whole family!

    This is a fun bundle to have. The price is nice but would have like to have the actual discs instead of the game download.

    Easy to setup - picture is sharp and clear - Nintendoland can be enjoyed by most family members - Mario World is strictly a kids game but bright colors and cute sounds will enthrall most youngsters. Gamepad ads some interesting options - especially in Baseball where the game pad becomes the pitcher while the remote holder is the batter.

    Nintendo Land Game is garbage. So dont waste your time on that. The Wii U is what it is, not really a gamers console, but if you love Nintendo games you will love this. The controller takes some getting used to. Super Mario 3d World is great. My favorite Mario since the SNES days.

    I've put off buying a Wii U for sometime. With an excellent collection of games such as Smash, Super Mario Maker, and now Yoshi's Woolly World out I'm ecstatic to have this console in my collection. It might not be the most powerful console but it sure is one of the funnest.

    We had the Wii, but since Disney Infinity has made their Avengers characters for the 2.0, we needed to upgrade. Well, it's been more than valuable for us as we use it for more than just the TV. Having the tablet allows our son to use it while we are still watching TV. Great get
