Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Nintendo Wii U 8GB Basic Set - White: Next-Level Gaming Console by Vinay Ahuja แ Œ

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is really good, Im glad I bought it.

It's hard to come up with a definitive verdict. I love games from Nintendo and don't really like multi-platform in general, so I'm completely satisfied with the console. However, for a gamer who plays a dozen games a month, most likely, these games themselves will not be enough. Got pros: 1) Exclusives. Mario, Zelda, Dunky Kong, Pikmin, Wonderful 101, Lego City, even Zombi U (to some extent) are truly exclusives in the full sense of the word with unique gameplay that has no analogues on other home consoles. And on the way Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Bayonetta, X 2) Small size and weight - it was very important for me 3) Backwards compatible with Wii (games and controllers) 4) A gamepad with a screen is an interesting, albeit controversial, solution 5) Co-op is well thought out in many games - it's very fun to play with a group Has cons: 1) Relatively high cost. I managed to buy a Wii U Basic for 9500 - that's fine. But it usually sells for more. In general, I think that the cost of the console should be somewhere at the level of PS3 / Xbox360 2) You need to buy quite a lot of things - additional memory, controllers, etc., which further increases the cost 3) Various annoying little things - for example, an inconvenient eShop (a store with electronic versions of games), a short time for the gamepad to work with the screen, etc. 4) And most importantly - few games. With exclusives and indie, everything is OK, Ubisoft still supports well, but in general, everything is bad with multiplatform

Take it only because of the exclusives like donkey kong, mario, lego city, I definitely advise.

Different pros: The gamepad fits comfortably in the hand. Intuitive menu. Its cons: Few, very few games. Well, a very slow menu.
