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.

    The system is great! You never get too old to play video games, you just get too old for some video games. I found the old FPS games getting old to me, but playing this is like a throwback to my 64 days with a bunch o changes. Fun times :)

    The Wii U is an excellent gaming system. Perfect for younger children with many titles suitable for younger players. Mario 3d World, Mario Kart, Nintendo Land, etc... Graphics are great. Added bonus of several video streaming options included.

    I assume you've already done some research into this console. It's a great little dude. It, in my opinion, doesn't have the more mature titles of it's competition. Which is ok. I love it. Continue to do your research, but I do recommend it.

    Picked up this system on a whim to play the mario titles. Once i fully understood the complete abilities of the console i quickly fell in love. The graphics are fantastic, the applications amazing and the over all experience is phenominal.

    Purchased this bundle this past September 2014 when Best Buy knocked off $25.00 in their Weekly Sales Ad. Basically I'm a XBOX One & XBOX 360 gamer and there was a summer dry spell and I wanted something different. I was always interested in a Wii U when I heard about SSB Wii U coming out in November. The sale price was my deciding factor. I really enjoyed Super Mario World 3D. Haven't played, nor interested in the Nintndo Land game. I will commend Nintendo for providing "physical" disc & retail case for each game unlike their competitors. I personally cannot game on the Wii U Tablet controller, which prompted me to purchase the Wii U Pro (aka 360 inspired) controller. It felt more natural. Would have preferred this as a pack in over the Tablet. I downloaded a couple old school NES titles (Punch Out & Ninja Gaiden). I think the NES & SNES titles are reasonably prices and converted into HD amazingly. Though I haven't spend as much time paying as I orignally hoped to I have no regrets. Great system. Just unfortunate there is little to no 3rd party support. Time to go buy Super Smash Bros Wii U!!!

    Purchase the wiiU. System is fun. Game control is very responsive. I like that you can use the game control screen as the actual screen. The only cons that I have for the wii U is the amount of memory the console has with 32GB and since this bundle has the games installd in the console you have less memory available. The other con is I dont like the position of the controls analog sticks. Other than that the system is great.

    The wii u is really starting to get some decent games. I have found that as of late I only have time to enjoy games next to friends on the couch- which Nintendo has been great at doing. This console is easy to pick up and play. Not for serious gets, but a great console for lighter gamers

    This is the best package deal for the Wii U console. The games are actual discs in case, not downloads like most games offered with consoles. It does not come with a Wii-mote, just the game pad, but otherwise this is a great system combo.

    I am glad to finally be able to play Nintendo in HD. Super Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land come already downloaded onto the WiiU, so you have something to start with right out of the box. I would highly suggest acquiring Mario Cart 8.

    Buying a wii-u is worth it soley for the HDMI output that is greater than 480P. I remember the wii being horrendous on any output except composite. The fact the this can also play wii game is great too. Very happy with the purchase!

    I bought the Nintendo Wii U 32GB Console with Super Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land Bundle in Black as soon as I realized that the Wii U is not the same system as the Wii! (It took me a while...) I love the new tablet/controller: it has so many possibilities! Super Mario 3D World was very fun, a nice throwback to the mechanics of old school Super Mario games. Nintendo Land wasn't as much fun for me, but I don't have multiple people to play it with. It would be more fun with a group, as it is a party style game!

    After many years of being a very happy N64 customer I had to upgrade. I bought my favorite games (again) and they are fun as they were before. New graphics are great, but the handheld controller is the best. Such a great enhancement.

    Underrated Gaming System! I LOVE THE WII U!

    This gaming system is the most underrated gaming system on the market. There are plenty of video games that both adults and children can enjoy. Games are more "child-like", however, they are just as fun as games that are Rated Mature.

    We have really enjoyed our Wii U system. It is a great update to the original Wii. I love playing with the touch screen controller. And the 2 games that came with the bundle are perfect for playing with family/friends or by yourself.
