A great console, with Brilliant multiplayer between me and my brothers. Mario bros u doesn't require use of the game pad if you have a wii remote. Great for stopping wear and tear for the Pad. The Pad is brilliant as a controller or mini screen if the tv is in use, making it a fantastic all round console. Good for multiplayer and browsing the web. I cannot fault this console it is brilliant , I have a Ps4 as well but they are both just as good and do near enough the same job. there is no difference besides menu's and specifications, however I cant see a problem with this. Overall my ps4 is on my small tv. but the wii u is centre of the living room on the big tv. need I say more! however If your a fan of multiplayer games on the same system, then this system is for you!

We asked our son what he wanted for xmas and he said this,hes hardly been off it. he loves thecontrol pad with screen,and when he plays certain games he can see his face on the tv frm the camera on the control pad. with the hdmi connection the graphics are alot sharper. overall a great package

great

The bundle is amazing. Since all Mario games are awesome, and this one especially, is so good. It just made me smile the whole way through, since it is such a user friendly. It gives the user maximum control and power, over the character which allows you to play as Mario.

It's not a surprise that Nintendo products do not disappoint. Their latest entry as a home entertainment system holds strong to that rule by bringing to us, the customers, a unique and diverse gaming experience. The first thing I noticed as my Wii U Console: 32GB Premium Bundle arrived was that the packaging of this version looks really good! The box has a Super Mario bros. theme all around and it looks very vibrant and colorful, luxurious even, and it makes me feel good by simply looking at it! Inside the box there are the console itself, the gamepad, and hdmi cable, a power cable for the console,a power cable for the gamepad, a wii remote sensor, two leg stands for the console (that I do not use), a power stand for the gamepad, a regular stand for the gamepad and the New Super Mario Bros. game pack itself. To my taste the console looks very good with round edges and no unnecessary design choices. I like it lying flat next to my tv because it is barely noticeable like so. The other part of it, the gamepad, looks quite the opposite! It actually looks as if it is the console itself. It is big, really big, but as you hold it feels light. It has been cleverly designed so that one's thumbs would lie exactly on the sticks and their point fingers right on the ZL and ZR shoulder buttons. The build is solid and it does not feel plasticky at all. Overall the build quality is great as expected. After everything got connected, it was finally time for the first start-up. What I had to do first was to choose upon a few settings and make a Mii. That is your virtual self in the Mii Verse, a virtual plaza and forums for all the Wii U games. Every time you start your Wii U, a plaza with some of the "hot" games for the week will appear with different Miis sharing their thoughts and experiences with the games. I've had tons of fun with the Mii Verse itself, it can be a very rewarding experience and is implemented in some of the games themselves. It's something like a virtual social network game based around your favourite games, simply amazing! The Wii U itself has a feature to auto-update itself when it finds internet so that even when you're offline you feel as if your console is connected! Once you get to the games part you need to remember that there are a few updates that you need to do. If your console is not connected to the internet that should be fine, but Nintendo strongly suggests that you always keep your system up to date so that you can make the most out of it. For example with one of the updates they made the loading times of the games dramatically faster. Just remember that once an update starts it might take some time, don't despair and wait for it, do not shut down your console while updating because it might cause problems! So the gaming begins with New Super Mario Bros. U and what a fun this game is! True to its roots the game plays and looks flawless. The Wii U's capabilities to output 1080p true HD complement the style and vibe of the Mario games. The single player mode itself can be a true challenge at times, especially if you are a hardcore gamer and would like to collect all the secrets. Or If you get yourself some wii remotes, the game supports up to 5 players to have fun with. Overall with this game you get the classic Nintendo treat in full HD with some new design choices but feeling as fresh and new as ever. Also you get the expansion pack that is sold as a separate game. New Super Luigi U brings even more challenge on the table with Mario's brother as the main character. There are many good things I can say about the Wii U, I already have a few games for it, Pikmin 3 being one of them that I simply love, but my favourite feature that many people seem to overlook is the ability to play most of the games on the gamepad screen. At the moment I live with a roommate so whenever there is something on TV he would like to watch and I feel like playing meanwhile, well, I simply switch to my gamepad. And the best part is that the quality of the screen is great and doesn't steal anything away from the game. I also love to lie in my bed at night, put some headphones on and immerse myself. It's nice to be able to do such things with your console. Overall I simply love everything about the Wii U. It's way better than the Wii, it's been well thought of, solidly built and already has some games that are of top quality. I highly recommend it!

Liked this as it was exactly what I was looking for but after I ordered and delivery underway, found it elsewhere for £20 less!! Product arrived in good time and my son loves it

Got this for the family there is nothing more frustrating than sitting with the wife and kids trying to get them to work together and get to the next level on super mario bros Bit peeved to see it for 199 a few days after I spent 250 for it though.
