Review: Nintendo at its very best yet - innovative and beautiful. - I bought the console as a Christmas gift for my son (11 years old), who is pretty heavily into gaming, already owning an Xbox360, iPad and PS Vita, and having an old (and failing) Wii. I’ve also got a PS3 & PS4, so as a household we’re no strangers to gaming. However, even though we were already very well covered with so many consoles and handhelds knocking about, there was something very appealing about the Wii-U. For starters, as a child of the eighties, the Nintendo brand is almost magical. Kind of the home of modern day console gaming if you like. And, although Nintendo’s consoles have succumbed to a lesser degree to all the 18 certificate Triple-A titles that abound on Microsoft and Sony’s current consoles, they have also retained far more of the neon-coloured, quirky, unashamedly off-the-wall Japanese influenced titles, that are just… well…., more fun. So, whereas I’d argue that you could probably happily live with either one of Microsoft or Sony’s current generation consoles, you will always want to own Nintendo’s too. I was probably just as excited as my son as he opened the box on Christmas day, and neither of us were in any way disappointed. To get the boring stuff over with, the console comes well packaged, if a little bit fiddly with its various compartments for cables etc. It was easy to set up, with all cabling clearly marked, and easy to hook up. The Wii-U gamepad didn’t take long to charge up, and we were soon launching into Mario Kart 8. The first thing that was abundantly clear was how fantastic the game looked. Maybe not on a par with the visuals on offer from the PS4 or Xbox One, but closer to that than the previous generation of consoles and a massive improvement on the Wii. Most games will only run natively in 720P rather than 1080P, including Mario Kart 8, but you’d be hard-pressed to notice. It looks amazing on my 1080P Samsung, super-smooth running at 60fps and just a joy to play. This is, no doubt, the best version of the best karting game on any console or handheld, ever. The Wii-U gamepad is also an absolute joy. Initially it looks a bit clunky and cumbersome, but once you get your hands on it, it’s very comfortable indeed, with a great button layout. Mario Kart 8 also gave early insight into how the big on-board colour screen can be used creatively to complement the main game screen, showing a course map and information about race positions, among other things. The gamepad truly comes into its own when being used as a separate controller, to remotely play games on the gamepad only without the need for a TV. This is supported by many, many games, including Mario Kart 8, and it’s a done flawlessly. Simply switch in-game from TV to the gamepad, and you can continue your gaming experience on a hand-held, while freeing up the TV to be used by someone else for something else – genius! You do have to have the Wii-U console left turned on (as the controller itself has no processor and can’t run games independently, and you have to stay within range of the console (20 or so feet I think), but depending on the layout of your house, this can allow you to sit in separate rooms. Of course, you can do remote play on a PS4, either via a PS Vita or using a PC with a gamepad, but you need additional hardware for this and even though the PS4 remote play range is greater, it’s just not as slickly implemented as it is on the Wii-U. I bought several other games, including Splatoon, which was also included in this bundle, but as a download via redemption of a code (compared to Mario Kart which came pre-installed). I also got Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario Maker. These are all three an absolute blast, and again it’s the graphics that stand out in all the games – simply stunning. Nintendo has not lost its touch, and the Mario brand has not lost its creativity or it’s simple but endlessly fun gameplay. The more powerful hardware takes them even further and gives the games a kind of polish and depth that they have never had before. Eight months down the line and there have been no issues whatsoever with the hardware, which is proving itself to be as well-built and resilient as it looked (not that I doubted it would be with my past experience of Nintendo hardware). There have been hours of fun, and this is one of my best buys of the last 12 months. I’d echo the comments of other reviewers regarding price, as this seems to fluctuate a lot – not just for this bundle, but for all other combinations of consoles and games. I paid £229.99, which was outstanding value for money, particularly given it was the 32GB console (which incidentally is essential in my view, to ensure you’ve got a decent amount of space for downloaded games). It’s also worth mentioning, for anyone considering a purchase that already has a Wii, that the vast majority of Wii games are backwards compatible with the Wii-U, so if you need to supplement your game collection, you may already have a big back catalogue from your previous purchases. Also worth a note that Nintendo is offering many games from its considerable back catalogue on other consoles (such as GameCube) for download (for a price) via their online store. This makes the Wii-U a very versatile machine, and by far the most backward-compatible of all the current generation of consoles in my view. Also useful to know that your Wii Sensor Bar and Wii remotes will all work with the Wii-U, not just for Wii games but you can also use the old Wii remotes for some Wii-U games, rather than having to buy additional Wii-U controllers. This is a real money-saver if you’ve already got a Wii. In summary, if you’re looking to re-discover the true essence of gaming, look no further if you haven’t got a Wii-U yet. And if you’ve got young children, for me this should be your number one choice of gaming console. There’s more than enough content available to keep both adults and children happy, and with the remote play so well implemented to allow play to continue seamlessly when parents want the TV back, it’s a no brainer if you ask me. You'll be smiling from ear to ear, so just buy one!
Review: Nintendo Wii U is simple amazing! worth the money - I don't get people that don't like the Wii U which I found it be amazing console and game pad! They really have updated the Nintendo Wii to be fantastic in my eyes. The only down side I had towards it was it taken a hour and a half to finish the update for the internet, other than that I found it to be really joyful to play and browse with on the net. If you were expecting this console to be better than the PS3/360 it is! it's got better graphics work and art towards it. You have got a choice what age group you want towards this console with a password to keep it private and safe from others. They do violent games now for adults, a choice for teenagers and children. You can only use one game pad (for now, it could change in the future) and the rest for a controller Wii U or the Wii sticks (depending what games) read or ask in the GAME shop if it works first before buying. It does FREE online play with people around the world, what couldn't be better! It's more safer than ever because you can block/report anything towards others if you dislike what your seeing and no problems at all facing towards your children or towards yourself's. I was expecting the game pad to works downstairs from my bedroom but it doesn't seem to work! I have to take the console with me downstairs in order to use the pad! I wanted the pad to work on it's own with out putting the power on the console in order for the game pad to work. But except from that I think Nintendo have done well for the most part of designing and the graphics. The internet browse/TV remote/Mii e.g works fantastic and no problems at all! When updating through the internet remember to be patience with it and DO NOT switch the console or the game pad when updating, it will crash them both! I don't think people need more than 8GB unless you want to waste money and download games on the eshop. I do prefer paying the games in the shop or on desertcart, it much cheaper to buy them all. I don't need a stander at all! it fits find under my TV, I can use my wii remotes still, senor bar from the Wii and use the cable from the wii for the TV if you haven't got HD just yet. From the reviews of bad words on this console I seen, I think that was really harsh well it isn't true, I beat people haven't even had the WiiU to start off with to give this bad reviews because of jealous of upcoming games available on it well it isn't on the other consoles. With out Nintendo help on making the games come true, you wouldn't be having them right now. :/

*by A***E on 14 June 2023*

Das Produkt ist pünktlich geliefert worden und der Zustand ist wirklich tadellos, die Oberfläche des Gamepad's sieht aus wie neu und da dem Verkäufer wichtig war das ich eine ebenso gut erhaltene Disc erhalte, hat er, da er keine passende da hatte extra eine nachbestellt die dann auch perfekt pünktlich bei mir angekommen ist. Das Spiel ist auch in einem sehr gut erhaltenen Zustand. Sehr zu empfehlen!
