Wii U Console Basic Set - White

(Quick note: If you're worried about this in comparison to the Deluxe version, I wouldn't worry. I have two games downloaded onto the hard drive already, did all the updates for the console, and I'm still doing fine on storage. You can use a USB flash drive or external hard drive if you need more space.) I decided to pick this up after borrowing my friend's Wii-U and playing it for a weekend. I already have an Xbox 360, but I was ready for something new. The PS4 and Xbox One look great, but the Wii-U is in it's own category of creativity. People call it gimmicky (to each their own), but I happen love the tablet controller and it's extra functionality. You can play full games on the tablet alone and even watch your video apps on just the tablet. Pretty awesome if you're trying not to wake your roommate. Something worth noting here; I am not a "Nintendo fan boy". I don't even really care for Mario games and I've only played one Zelda game in my life. It sounds odd I know, but even I am pleased with this console. There is a great line up of games coming out for this thing in the next year or so (aside from your typical Mario stuff). I'm currently playing Scribblenauts: Unlimited, Nano Assault Neo, and Street Fighter 2 Turbo. The Miiverse is actually a pretty neat social network built fully with a profile, friend requests, follows, activity feeds, etc.. You can post screenshots of your game, mid-game, to the Miiverse and seamlessly go back to your game. You don't have to close the out of the game or anything. You can even pause mid-game, bring up the Wii menu, open the internet browser (which works great and so far, better than the IE app on the 360) and do whatever, then close out and go right back to your game. Gamers are pretty picky nowadays, but by my standard: this IS a next gen console, people. Also, the e-shop is very clean and easily laid out, filled with great oldschool games and new games alike to download directly to your console. It seems very secure as well. Now is a good time to pick one of these up because the game line up is much stronger now than it was at launch and this thing is really going to take off in the next year. Indie games are jumping to the Wii-U along with some big AAA games. You won't be sorry! (coming from a gamer who doesn't like Mario).

got my very anticipated wii u a day or 2 ago but was too sick to get outta bed......so im reviewing it now. i got the 8gb white set with a copy of transformers prime and im amazed-i havent been amazed by a console game since n64-mario 64 but so it was a nice surprise. the whole concept is amazing to see running in real time on the dual screen format in hd. ive read al the load time issues but if you want the system to not get bogged down simply save games as few as poss at 1 time and use sd cards for external storage. mine runs faster than my gaming pc. i really got this system initially for 2 games so im not worried about storage space. if you wanna run this off a router PLUG IT IN DIRECTLY....idk wth nintendos deal is but their devices simply suck at picking up wifi-period. this has been the case since the ds, i never even tried to play the gc using wifi but im sure id have had the same prob. for the price i think either of these (white 8gb or black ??gb- idk the spec but it has nearly 4 times the storage capacity) is a great buy. the processor blows the ps3 and 360 outta the water and that isnt reflected to badly in the price. the handheld display/control unit is just too cool for school. tf prime is even better than the xbox 360 war for and fall of cybertron games. control is smooth like butter and the game has unlockable chars, areas, ect ect. its easily the best launch title UNLESS you want MORE smb, cant wait for the dragon quest mmo (wii/u exclusive) that gets stateside release in feb or mar (its already running in japan and after ff14s bs i very much wanaa play an mmo that isnt run by gold sellers. depending on how it plays i may pick up nintendoland but as of now im happy with what i have (im still playing xenoblade for wii as well so i have no shortage of things to do here. anyway 5 stars guys...ty for your honest and fair price transaction.

Bought from AubreySales1 in great condition and exactly as advertised. Would definitely buy from them again.

Wii came cracked and stained and scratched poor poor condition Did not come with new super mario bros and wofi doesnt work

The system is in great condition, everything works as it should. No complaints what so ever.

I purchased this Wii U from MisterGames a few weeks ago. It came exactly as described and was delivered quickly. Unfortunately, that particular unit was defected (blinking blue light of death). It is important to note that the unit was brand new and the defect was beyond MG's control. MG refunded the unit without any hassle and provided excellent customer service throughout the entire transaction. Unfortunately this purchase didn't work out, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy from MisterGames again!

This is a used item. It works but I am concerned about the cord as it is slightly frayed.
