  helpful.Wii U Review By T. W. Marshall I
  finally decided to buy a Wii U after sitting on
  the fence since it's release, with the latest
  launch of Mario Kart 8 I thought the special
  edition would make a perfect addition to my
  collection of Nintendo consoles. This price drop
  makes it 110 cheaper than the PS4 and a whopping
  160 lower than the XB1. Almost 2 years on from
  it's initial release I think it's time to share
  my opinions

7

• The console is small in stature and only slightly
  larger than the Wii, the premium version has a
  glossy black finish while the basic version is a
  glossy white. It is considerably smaller than the
  other next gen systems at about 20 volume of the
  XB1 Kinect. Both the Wii U tablet and pro pad
  are also very well designed, both are built to a
  very high glossy quality.

8

• You have to take into consideration that both the
  PS4 and XB1 are not backward compatible, and the
  input/output lag of the XB1 obliterates any
  possibility of using the 'HDMI IN' function for
  anything other that viewing video. The Wii U
  however is fully compatible with every Wii game
  and console accessory which opens it's software
  library up to well over a thousand games, many of
  which are considered the best of all time such as
  Mario Galaxy 12, Twilight Princess, Smash Bros
  Brawl and Metroid Prime Trilogy.

9

• I paid 475 for my XB1 at launch with a bundled
  Fifa 14 and a separate copy of Forza 5, in the
  months since I've never felt so mugged off in all
  my life... While the PS4 and XB1 are more
  powerful their game libraries are very poor, even
  almost 1 year after their releases neither have a
  game worth buying the console for.

10

• The criticisms of the Wii U always centre on two
  thingsThe lower processing power in relation
  to XB1/PS4, and it's library (or lack of) games.
  Both of these points I've since discovered are
  actually false...The Wii U has less processing
  power yes, but not a single game has even came
  close to pushing the hardware. Assassin's Creed 4
  is the classic example.

11

• The Wii U has a completely different architecture
  to other systems, this isn't showcasing lower
  power but rather a lazy conversion which is
  evident in all the cross format games. Next is
  the library of games, the Wii U currently has 9
  exclusive full release games scoring more than
  80 on Metacritic compared to the PS4's 2
  (inFamous The Last of Us) and the XB1's 1
  (Titanfall, which is hugely overated).

• Next is the online play, Sony and Microsoft has
  been infested with American, racist, rage kids
  for the past 10 years and it sours the online
  experience, you can't go into a pre-game lobby
  without having some obnoxious child shout abuse
  at you down the mic. There's entire Youtube
  channels devoted to abusing gamers and provoking
  a reaction, such is gaming on MS and Sony
  machines.

15

• If your not being abused verbally then there's
  the cheaters using lag switches and aim bots and
  making it pointless even trying to play online as
  you have no chance. The absolute worse thing
  about this is Sony and Microsoft's complete
  inaction against this even though you're PAYING
  for online access, chances are if you've played
  COD online for these systems then you've came
  across cheaters. This really annoys me as a 12
  month XB Live subscription is 40 but MS don't
  even police their own servers, I stopped my XB
  Live last year shortly after the XB1 release.

16

• Online access for the Wii U is free, and there is
  no difference in the speed or availability of
  servers. In fact when I've been online with Mario
  Kart 8 I'm almost always instantly put into a pre
  game lobby.I bought COD Ghosts when it was 15
  on the Wii U and it was a revelation, first of
  all you're playing against Nintendo gamers and
  not rage kids. Pre game lobbies were always
  filled with mature, like minded gamers who you
  could chat to and have a joke with, not the
  typical MS or Sony rage kid.

17

• Second is the cheats, I've put about 20 hours
  into this and I haven't came across a single
  cheater, no lag switches or aim bots. The Wii U
  has restored my faith in online gaming.

18

• At this moment in time the Wii U is the best
  choice for next gen gaming, it has the better
  exclusive games currently out and coming in the
  future, is cheaper and has far better online
  community which is free.

  helpful.Seduced back to Nintendo by Mario Kart
  and so happy I was!

19

• By emptybee I bought my wii u with mario kart
  8 (which came with Super Mario Bros U) last week
  and thoroughly enjoying it! I had a SNES growing
  up which was replaced by the first PS and that in
  turn by original xbox and then an XBox360. I also
  have a wii that has seen so little use in the
  time I have it that I swore I would never buy
  another Nintendo.

20

• However, over the last year I have played on my
  Xbox 360 less and less and it only really gets
  use as a media centre now with the occasional
  appalling attempt to play Black Ops II when
  drunk! The Wii U is spectacular in that it has
  reminded me how much fun games use to be when I
  was a kid, sat round with friends or cousins
  playing the original mario kart or taking it in
  turns to complete levels of super mario. I
  realised I didn't need better graphics, I needed
  better games. Wii U is HD and it looks plenty
  good enough for me!

21

• The price is spot on as well, my only wish is
  that the genuine wiimotes were cheaper. It's
  approx. 50 for a wii remote plus and nunchuk
  here in the UK so I have taken a gamble on
  cheaper knockoffs as getting 4 authentic ones
  will cost the same as the system itself!

22

• I hope that third party support improves as there
  are very few games in the pipeline although truth
  be told I should be happy enough with Nintendo's
  offerings and looking forward to the release of
  Smash Bros. I also have my fingers crossed that
  sales of this fantastic system pick up so that we
  can entice more developers to create for the Wii
  U. It's a remarkable platform and the ability for
  one person to have their own screen to set up
  traps for the other players in Zombi U or hunt
  the characters as a ghost in Nintendoland Ghost
  Mansion (I am really looking forward to getting
  both these titles delivered tomorrow!!) is
  awesome and provides a wealth of opportunity for
  creative developers to build on.

23

• The Wii U is not perfect but what matters for a
  games console most it's fun!

  helpful.Great choice! By Chusko After getting
  MK8 myself I decided to get the console for my
  little nephew.

• Value for money is great as if you register MK8
  on the club nintendo you get a free game of
  choice between --gtNintendoland, Game Wario,
  Zelda WindWaker, Pikmin 3, Super Mario Bros U,
  Sonic Lost World, Wii Party U, Wonderful
  101,Monster Hunter 3, Mario Sonic Winter
  Olympics.We plugged the console, set-up was was
  easy although lenghty and a system update had to
  be performed as soon as it connected to the
  internet. After all that, I have only seen my
  nephew smile.
