Wii Fit U (for Nintendo Wii U) Review

 

Wii Fit U adds a pedometer, lots of activities, and a handful of other useful features that add up to making the sequel to Wii Fit worthwhile as a fitness tool.

Pokemon Rumble U (for Wii U) Review

 

Pokemon Rumble U could have been Nintendo's answer to Activision's Skylanders and Disney's Infinity. It really, really isn't.

New Super Luigi U. (for Nintendo Wii U ) Review

 

New Super Luigi U gives the unsung Mario brother his own side-scrolling action, but it's a lot harder than New Super Mario Bros. U, the game on which this DLC is based..

Nintendo Wii U review

 

The new future of consoles starts with Nintendo's Wii U. Or does it? We hit up the latest gaming hardware to find out

Great fun ; Clever uses for the Gamepad ; Brings multiplayer back to the couch

Will be overpowered by rival next gen consoles ; Sluggish UI ; Not as accessible as the Wii

It provides no graphical leap, but the Wii U’s take on dual-screen gaming is a revelation, especially when gaming with friends

Does Nintendo have another juggernaut on its hands? We did more than a Wii bit of investigating to find out.

Nintendo Wii U Gaming Console Review

 

AVForums casts its eye over Nintendo's Wii U - is it evolutionary or revolutionary?

Unique multi-faceted controller ; Simple to setup ; Well built ; Offers in-game chat on a Nintendo console ; Easy to navigate menu structure ; Miiverse social connection ; Accessible and well stocked eShop

Low battery life for GamePad ; GamePad range potentially very limited ; Basic edition’s memory is meagre ; No cross-game chat

Nintendo Wii U basic set

 

I am a long time gamer and i love Nintendo i think they have some great console in the past. As for the Wii U its cool. but cool does not compete with the other consoles the are less priced. $400 for the Wii U is way over priced. its just an upgrade...
