Normal quality, you can use it.

In general, the console itself has a very vague future, but there are games for it, but with the release of PS4\Xbox One, the fear that no one will buy it at all is very high, the idea is very good, but the implementation let us down. Pros below: Revolutionary gamepad, you can do without a telly and play at home anywhere. With its cons: Perhaps for such a console with outstanding characteristics, the price is very high, the red price is a maximum of $ 200.

I'm not completely satisfied with the product.

Well done, but I won't buy any more.

In general, a solid prefix, for those who do not chase super mega games ala GTA5, Far Cry, CODE, and other top sellers, but really respect those games that are not made for a mass audience. Different pros: - No TV needed - Fancy gamepad - Team games and co-op games - The size of the weight, you can stick it on an adhesive tape somewhere, and give the gamepad a tablet for the console itself, many were even surprised. - Support for ALL old games, absolutely all old games can be played on…

Excellent product, the best quality.

I took on one particular game - Lego City - a super game, an analogue of GTA for children, and the world from Lego. The joystick in the game is used 100%, it is very interesting to play. The joystick works as a terrain scanner, as a phone, and as a camera, very interesting. The child played and was very pleased. Watching the game is also interesting - an open world . different tasks, humor. Other games that we played (and there were very few of them) were remembered by Nintendo Sport Club - a…

Pros
  • - Super gamepad! - Good graphics - Compact - Quiet operation
Cons
  • - In local stores (RF) there are practically no games for it anywhere. Compared to how other consoles are presented, it can be considered that it does not exist on the market. - In the Nintendo store, games are very, very expensive. I compare it with Steam for PC, where GTA 5 came out for 2022, and most often games are much cheaper, then for this console, games that you can play cost thousands of 4-5 per game . I'm not ready to evaluate super mario for that amount (compared to the abundance of quality and diverse games on Steam for PC).

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

If you still take wii U, then the extended version is better, since the lack of memory with such an abundance of demos provided in Eshop is quickly clogged + in the full package there are all sorts of coasters for the console, which is very important> _> Some pros: Very addictive game controls, some of them don't even need a TV! Support for games and consoles from wii (this is not Sony with Microsoft). Design Cons below: A little expensive price for the console and accessories for it and the…

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…

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

Bought in a bundle with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Amiibo didn't buy any. A unique console of its kind - unusual controls, a bunch of exclusives, the so-called. "Nintendo magic", exciting gamers of all ages, backwards compatibility - all this will not let me and my friends get bored for many more years (there is a re-release on the Switch, only Super Mario Odyssey is interesting). Don't care about the commercial failure of the Wii U - for me this is the ultimate Nintendo console, there…

Pros
  • + Nice white design. + Surprisingly, a convenient gamepad, with a bunch of lotions. + Lots of unique games from Nintendo itself and exclusives from the rest. + 8 GB of memory is not a problem, because. you can plug in a flash drive or hard drive with additional USB power. + Support for games from Wii (native) and GameCube (after hack), plus NES/SNES/N64 games in eShop. + There is a component video output (for Wii games on a CRT TV it's the best). + Long charging cable for the gamepad.
Cons
  • - Not enough multiplatform (not a problem for me, I don't know the rest). - The gamepad quickly sits down, even when it is turned off. - Resistive touch screen (it is necessary to press lightly on it, since I pasted the film). - The radius of the gamepad is too small, literally one room. - Gives out 5.1 only in LPCM (no DD5.1, DTS, DPL) - not every TV / receiver / home theater will digest this. Wii games are stereo only. - A zoo of controllers: Wii U Gamepad, Wii U Pro Controller, Wii Remote, Nunchuck, GameCube Controller, Classic Controller Pro, NES Mini Classic controller, SNES Mini Classic controller, Wii Zapper and steering wheel (not really controllers) - and it all works with variable success in different games. Of course, it's interesting to get confused, but emae, Nintendo, Sony has one controller for everything for more than 20 years.

The prefix is ​​clearly a generation late, poor performance and savings on components are felt at every turn, developers bypass this platform, nothing is announced. It’s worth buying only the second, or even the third console in the house, for the sake of a couple of games about Mario (who managed to get fed up with the order, to be honest). The console is absolutely not suitable for the role of the only set-top box in the house. If in three words: money down the drain, buy better xbox one or

Pros
  • Exclusive games from Nintendo itself (MarioZeldaDonkey Kong)
Cons
  • External power supply, second external power supply for the joystick-screen, poor quality of the screen in the joystick (disgusting color reproduction, lack of multi-touch, poor sensitivity, lack of any protective glass), weak battery in the joystick (need to be recharged after each game, lasts 3 -4 hours, if you turn off the sound and turn the brightness to a minimum, then a little longer), there is very little memory for storing games (in fact, not even 8, but 3.7), you also need to buy a screw for the console, it does not read DVD and Blu-ray films , lack of games (there is nothing to play, only absolutely everything is old) new items are not planned to be made., no particularly significant announcements.

They fit Nintendo systems well

I bought tgis for my daughter for Christmas and at first everything seemed perfect until I tried to put the game there. I tried several and all disks were unreadable. So I kept trying and suddenly the disc started reading but after that it froze completely. I didn't want to return it even though I called Amazon because my daughter was so happy about it. So I called Nintendo and now I'm about to fix their SMDH. So Christmas was ruined for her and sad for me. 150.00 for a dead system. Buyer…

Exactly as advertised. Good or bad

I received a used Nintendo Wii U that worked. However, I would like the seller to clarify that a gamepad is required for installation and this seller, like others, sells the Wii U without controllers if they are used. That's fine and all, but I wish it had paid more attention to explaining that a gamepad is required for setup. I didn't get it and got it, tried to set it up and turn it on but couldn't do anything else with it because I don't have a gamepad so I ordered it straight away. Luckily…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Not the best

Best buy of the year!

One of my best purchases of the year! Highly recommended for those who want to play modern games with good graphics, surf the web, watch YouTube videos and more. I can do anything on the big screen in the living room or press the gamepad so someone else can watch TV while I keep playing or browsing, and I can use the gamepad in any room in the house. Also works great with my Revain Prime. Being an all-in-one system, it's not without its bugs, just minor hiccups and nothing I couldn't live…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some variety

I love my Wii U good for Nintendo systems

I got my Wii U a few months ago and the more I experience it the more I love it. My only regret is that I didn't get a bigger hard drive. However, if like me you bought the 8GB, you can upgrade to 32GB with an SD card, which isn't very expensive. I like to play with a gamepad and not tether the TV. I also like that I can play the game in my bedroom instead of staying in the living room where the TV is. The graphics are better than critics say, most of whom only pounce on the Wii U and Nintendo…

  • One Year Trial

OK. I'm a convert! the best of nintendo systems

Let me just say I NEVER buy refurbished electronics. I am very paranoid about used, refurbished etc when it comes to expensive items unless they are antique. Obviously it's not a Wii U. Although my 9 year old has a bit of a disagreement about the Switch (which we'll be buying when DAS becomes antique ;) it came in a perfect box, sealed, wrapped, organized and all just like it looked 100% new. And everything was clean, nice and ready to go. We've had it for a long time and play Wii games on it…

Pros
  • stylish and modern design
Cons
  • boring packaging

Sync/Wireless not working properly

I recently sent it in for a refund because it wouldn't sync no matter what I tried. Yes, I know how to properly sync. Although I got an email saying maybe I wasn't aware there was a button on both the remote and the console. I did this and I also googled to try everything I could before posting it. I was hoping that the syncing issue would be resolved, but it's not. It is connected to a gamepad, but does not connect to the internet or additional controllers/items. I know it's not my WiFi…

  • Weight

  • I vaguely remember

Breathed new life into the Wii library

I buy Nintendo consoles for Mario and Zelda. There were a few other Wii games that I really liked (Dawn of Discovery, Dead Space Extraction, Goldeneye), but the Wii was mostly limited to shelf space. I bought a Wii U for Windwaker and Mario 3d World and they are both great. Let's go back to the original Wii. I hated the picture quality. I used HDTV component cables and then switched to an HDMI connection, which was an improvement. But the picture quality never looked good. A few weeks ago my…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • There are nuances

Great game - better used Product Description

I love this product and will be very happy to use it once all the pieces come together to make it work. Unfortunately, Revain's product description is very vague and there is no information that you need to buy additional controllers if you want to play the sports game. The gamepad does not provide a satisfactory experience. Also, nothing tells you that additional controllers require a motion sensor, which is not included with some additional controls and must be purchased separately. We were…

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • ---

Wii U is awesome! GAMEPADI rolled his eyes when he saw the shielded controller for the first time. It was unnecessary, added expense, and just wasn't innovative. After using the Wii controller I was pleasantly surprised. Great if I can't find my glasses either! However, I'm still worried about the additional price because of the system. Makes more than 1/2 of the base production price! It's not worth it, but it's still a nice feature. Most importantly, it acts as an easier and faster remote…

  • GOLS certified
