Pros

Technology is awesome in a lot of respects. The console is standard nintendo quality which is fantastic. I feel the upgrade from the wii is well worth the price.

The graphics are now in hd. They are in true 1080 hd. The system only comes with 32gb of storage, but you can plug portable hard drives into the usb slot or an sd card into the sd card slot. It has full netflix, hulu, youtube and amazon functionality ...  Read More

The wii u is capable of 60 fps at 1080p natively, and can produce better effects than either the ps3 or xbox 360. It has more games worth playing than both the xbox one and the ps4 as of the writing of this review. Nice indie support and virtual conso...  Read More



Cons

Trying to play from my bed, literally 6 feet from the console, is impossible as the game pad is constantly disconnecting with error prompts interrupting. Only recieved controller not the console part of the wii u. Overly complicated system with differ...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


A little expensive for a old console but it has no issues whatsoever and packaging was great and it came with everything


It did not come with original packaging but did include all original parts including the sensor bar

Competitiveness


These types of games give the competition a distinct advantage


The wii u is priced well below the competitor’s prices


Note to others the system does not include a wii remote nor a nunchuck

    It is worth noting that the other two consoles previously discussed can also install said apps as well as having highdefinition graphics but neither of them offer as in depth a user friendly experience as the wii u


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    An example of this would be the title super smash bros


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Other gaming consoles such as those listed earlier require all actions carried out within the system to be controlled by the handheld remote forcing the user to tediously toggle back and forth on screen to accomplish even the simplest of command


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    By way of contrast the wii u comes with a revolutionary devicecontroller known as the gamepad


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I bought this from the seller pigflytech and even though the box listed nintendoland and super mario 3d world game discs as included along with all the other deluxe accessories the sm3dw game disc was missing


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I then returned the item and ordered the same one from the same seller and the results were exactly the same


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However i suggest you not buy this from pigflytech
