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.

    We bought the Wii u for our 6 year old son who loves video games. He loves it! The package we got came with a couple of great Mario games. It's lots of fun for the whole family!

    I love the Wii U because it can be used playing on the handheld console alone or played on the TV screen with some of the accessories. I enjoy playing games on this console with friends, family or by myself. Lots of family fun games. I like that it has a preloaded game which you can keep on playing. I've had this console for a few years now and still enjoy playing games on it.

    My 7 yr old son LOVES it! He asks to play it all the time. I have to ration his time on it. System allows me to set plenty of parental controls so I can allow him to pay without being there to watch. My only problem was needing to set up so much stuff in order to pay the games. He needed his own login etc. All in all, excellent product.

    Love the fact that my oldest can play a game on the controller while my younger son watches TV. Both kids entertained at the same time makes this the best system I've owned.

    My family is loving the Wii U. Easy to use and lots of fun. It's great for a family with younger children, and my wife and I love to play the games after the kids go to bed too!

    This is a very good game console. Nintendo does know how to build a solid package. The games are fun and the backwards compatibility with older games is second to none. PS4 and Xbox cannot hold a candle to the Wii U in this respect. There are issue though. The whole Mii solution thingy is a bit much. I turn on my console and my TV is inundated with Miis from god only knows where. What the am I supposed to do with these things?! Who cares? The tablet is pretty cool. I can play either on my TV or on the tablet. The only thing I don't like about the tablet is that the screen is always on even when you are using the TV. What a waste of battery life for games that don't use the tablet's features. Other than that the system is very solid and is a lot of fun.

    Love my new console! Love the online gaming and the old school feel with a new hip attitude! Nintendo always delivers in my opinion. For the gamer who just wants to have fun.

    My kids love this game. They loved Mario Kart Wii and love the Wii U version with the new features. Mario Kart games are always fun all the way back to the original on SNES.

    Great bundle for the entire family. The only thing is that it only has 1 remote but all consoles only come with 1, other than that we got 4 games with the bundle which is super.

    Love the easy setup; the 2nd screen concept on the remote control is really innovative. Good for younger kids, but will probably get PlayStation 4 or (5!) when they get older.

    I didn't think I'd like the Wii U at first, but it's really grown on me. It is so far my second favorite gaming system. It would be my first of it could play GameCube games.

    Good system but disappointed

    The bundle I got for black Friday, good price. The Wii u system itself though is disappointing. You need an adapter for a network cable, you need an adapter for GameCube controllers, you need a special pro controller to play certain games comfortably, the WiFi sucks on it so expect your Hulu and Netflix and online gaming to be slow and sluggish (I've tried everything to fix it but nothing works. I also have two other friends that complain about the WiFi connection speeds it gets). Interface is similar to Wii and just as annoying and boring. I hate being forced to use the gamepad for certain games because its heavy and dies quickly. It also gives me neck pain from looking down at it so much. Overall I liked the Wii better but I buy systems for the games themselves. Not for the features in a system. So I would recommend this if you have games for it that you want to play, otherwise don't buy it for its features.
