Great Product

The gamepad is amazing and allows for a 5th person to play. The games utilize this controller in many different ways and sometime not at all which it is then used as a normal controller. The controller is very light and comfortable to hold. The battery has always lasted long enough for every time I have used it (who plays for more that 4 hours at a time? and even if you do you have the option to plug it in).

This is a generally fun system, definitely geared towards kids in my opinion, however, my fiance and I like to entertain and have friends over and we found some of the games for this system pretty enjoyable with friends, especially with a few drinks in hand. We really like Mario Kart 8 and Mario Party 10. Wii Fit is also a great game for when you have some free time but don't feel like hitting the gym. The tablet type controller is also pretty cool, just because you can play a game on the tv while someone watches netflix on the tablet or vice versa.

My kids love to play mario kart 8 on it along with some other games, but the price isint the best

Bought for my teenage son so he didn't have to play it on the TV screen all the time, as the rest of the family wanted to watch their TV shows. The only thing I disliked is he can control the TV like a remote control. It is frustrating as he can change the channels, turn the TV on or off & tease his younger siblings.

I have wanted a Wii U for a whlie now, and finally bought one with my tax refund. I love it for many reasons. First it comes with Netflix and Hulu Plus. Which, when you have many people in one house, is a one up in my books. Next, I'm a huge Mario fan, so the games that you can get for this are right up my alley. Graphics are great, and it's nice to be able to play while some one is watching tv. Depending on your needs, it may be what you're looking for.
