When they say "obsolete " they mean it.

The product did not have a remote control. Another game was also loaded, so there wasn't enough memory to load other games.

Pros
  • Four USB 2.0 ports included. The new console is backward compatible with Wii games and Wii accessories.
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Works well. for Wii U

Product works great. Little did I know that I would also need external storage. I ordered this and couldn't sync. Turns out I needed a Y-cable. Ordered and all good.

Pros
  • multi-core microprocessor based on IBM Power.
Cons
  • Empty

Starter system, don't expect it to be obsolete

Overall the system is in good condition. All cables are new, system boots and runs fine. There were no scratches on the console and there are minor usage scratches on the gamepad case. Not the best restoration job as the console was clogged with dust in the vents and the sticks were slightly yellowed but as the white Wii U was discontinued in 2013 so 7 years ago I can excuse that.

Pros
  • Uses the AV multi-out connector. Six-channel PCM line output via HDMI.
Cons
  • Something different

Works but is expensive, requires more cleaning and more memory

The product works like a charm but when I received it it was very dirty and its vents were almost completely clogged with dust and then they don't tell you that you need specific external hardware to run it load everything on it and I've since found it MUCH cheaper elsewhere and I'd happily do it. Whatever it is, it's fine, just know that you need to clean something, get a specific external hard drive, and you can definitely find it cheaper elsewhere.

Pros
  • Up to four Wii Remotes (or Wii Remote Plus) can be connected at the same time. The new console supports all Wii controllers and input devices, including the Nunchuk™ Controller, Classic Controller, Classic Pro Controller and Wii Balance Board.
Cons
  • Good but not great

Definitely used, not "refurbished "

The console and pad work perfectly.... But upon arrival I noticed that the console was covered in fingerprints, smudges and "dirt" marks. Upon closer inspection, the ports were covered in dust and who knows what else. The most annoying thing was the power cord! It was sealed in places and then after 5 or 6 uses everything clicked shut. So now I need to buy a new cable, I want to use the console. Since the console itself runs professionally, I can't give fewer stars overall. But I won't buy from

Pros
  • Approximately 1.8 inches high, 6.8 inches wide and 10.5 inches long.
Cons
  • piggy bank price
