Worth the money. Get it now and star experiencing new ways to play.
3 of 4 found this helpful I bought the Wii U cause I'm a fan of most Nintendo franchises such as Zelda, Smash, Mario, Pokemon and Metroid.
Even though right now the selection of games is small, several main games from Nintendo have been announced and from here the console can only get better.
I gave it 4 stars because as most people said, the menues take a little longer than usual to load, which I really don't mind at all, but I have to take into account when reviewing.
Nintendo has adressed this and the system issues will be fixed in 2 separate patches coming this fall and summer.
This console brings the unique experience of assymetric gameplay, better apreciated in Metroid Blast, one of the mini games in Nintendo Land (Included with the Deluxe version of the console).
Judging by this game, and others like the Pikmin Adventure or Zelda Quest I can say that the possiblities for multiplayer experiences in this console are great, allowing one player to use the TV as his own screen and the player with the Wii U Gamepad and entirely different screen. This lets players have their own view of the game world. Not sharing the same screen while in the same room can't be done with any other console.
We can all agree that for now there are no big games that utilize this, but of course Nintendo made the console with this in mind, and they will take full adventage of it.

Great multiplayer RPG!
A friend and I have wanted to try this game out for the longest time and we wanted to play for real, on an SNES with an SNES controller in hand.
The story can get convoluted and hard to follow at points, but being able to travel around in a multiplayer RPG is something I wish was done more often.
It starts difficult and then becomes more manageable when magic becomes available. More save points would have been appreciated.
