Fun and innovative console for all players

Excellent and really fun new console from Nintendo. Launch games like New Super Mario Bros U, Nintendo Land, ZombiU, Nano Assault and many others are a blast to play, and there is so much more to come. The GamePad can be used as a second screen integrated to the TV gameplay-wise in ZombiU and Nintendo Land, as a tool for assymetrical gameplay in multiplayer games where one player has a completely different role from the others as seen in Nintendo Land, and also can be used for off-TV play in New Super Mario Bros U, Nano Assault Neo and Call of Duty Black Ops 2 where the gamepad can completely replace the TV. Like I said, there are many more games to come and I am really excited about future games and innovations.

i would wait to purchase this system the kinks needed to be worked out

this video game system is a bit pricey. also there is not much of a selection of video games but wait a little while and will come out with some new games. also there have been problems downloading from the internet. also in regards to online items. only netflix is available at this time. they are going to add more items like hulu and other sites. i would wait in purchasing this system so nintendo can clean out the problems with this system. also in my opinion i would not buy a system from ebay because the prices are double in what you would get at the big box stores. i hate to be a downer on this but i think nintendo rushed this system to market too soon. there are too may kinks in the system and needs to be worked out.

Exceptional Gaming Experience, Gamepad Makes WiiU Very Entertaining

While I was hesitant to buy this at first, the gamepad controller looked too bulky to me, I have found that the controller is the best I have ever used. It fits perfectly into your hands and is much easier to use than previous controllers from any system I have ever owned. I did have an issue where the gamepad kept losing its wireless connection to the system, even though I was only a few feet away from it. I read online and others were having the same problem and it is just a matter of making sure the system is plugged directly into a wall socket or into its own power strip. I had mine plugged into the end of a power strip with 5-6 other things plugged into it and this was causing the problem. I play Black Ops II online and it is amazing. Anyone who enjoyed playing Halo online will love Black Ops II online even more than Halo. All the other games I have played have been great too, Mario is quite fun with two players, one using the gamepad to place blocks etc, and the other using the WiiMote.

The Zombie in U follows the perpetual Wii trend

The first thing you do with the Wii U is start it up and perform some basic setup steps to get your Mii created and your Nintendo Network ID established, get the right display connection... and then you wait for hours while the system downloads a huge update. The screen for this is just a progress bar, nothing to distract you or indicate how much actual time is left. This is a giant misstep for Nintendo, as most users just want to plug in the system, create a Mii, and start playing games and exploring the new features the console has. The Wii U? "You just download updates for everything". "An Ipad for a game controller." Nintendo enters the generation on negative ground, having saturated the casual market and alienated the hardcore gamers. Feeding into the negative concerns of consumers is troublesome. It is hard to believe Nintendo was same company that released excellent quality consoles like the SNES. How the mighty have fallen!!!
