32GB New Super Mario U and New Super Luigi U Premium Pack - Black (Nintendo Wii U)

We have managed to go over 8 years without a games console, but we have bowed to the inevitable now my son is nearly 9. Yes we have succumbed to a bit of peer pressure, all his friends have them (so they say). I never have time for Gaming anymore, though I let my son play Lego Star Wars and Lego Batman on the computer he has quite a few restrictions placed on how long he can play on it. I leave it to my wife to police the usage and commiserate with my son when he feels he is being hard done by. I got a lot of advice from other dads, 'Play Station 4, it has to be a Play Station 4 it's new you know!' then 'Don't listen to him, it has to be an Xbox, get the new one it's fantastic!" though it won't play the old games. We have managed to go over 8 years without a games console, but we have bowed to the inevitable now my son is nearly 9. Yes we have succumbed to a bit of peer pressure, all his friends have them (so they say). I know their dads do, most of them spending all evening playing Call of Duty etc. though I cannot understand how they find the time. I mean I have two children under 9 and a wife whose first question when I get in is ‘whats for tea?’ Arrive home, cook, talk, read stories, bedtime, finally sit down eat, oh look it’s already 10.30pm, fall asleep on the sofa.

I leave it to my wife to police the usage and commiserate with my son when he feels he is being hard done by. I do this very quietly though.

What I found was that the other 'amazing all singing and dancing' consoles were aimed at more towards teenagers and adults rather than children especially when looking at software. The Wii U on the other hand offered more family friendly entertainment for younger children, it hit the sweet spot and did everything I needed it to do. What clinched the deal was the availability of child friendly software and the ability to play games on it using the screen on the control pad rather than only through the television. It’s like having a very powerful Nintendo DS. This in my mind would also lead to less aggravation should my daughter want to watch CBeebies or one of her DVDs and from my wife when she is playing catch up with Coronation Street. Accessories are available and I have added a Pro Controller to the package, I mean, how else will we be able to play together? Might even get my wife interested in it too.

Excellent gaming system! This has been enjoyed for years now by all our family! It was such a worthwhile purchase! It was a really fun upgrade from the original wii. Our children could play wii bowling and similar games from age 2 onwards and we saw our son cement his number bonds to 10 through wii bowling. Wii Fit u is a fantastic game. It brings health ascpects and excerise in with the fun of the games. The pedometer that goes with it was brilliant for counting steps and receiving virtual rewards and recognition. The Super Mario bros game that came with it has also been very much enjoyed. Fun update to a retro game. The other ingenious part of the Wii U is the handheld section that enables play without using the tv. This has prevented countless arguments in our house. Overall the Wii U has been brilliant for our family and I’m sure that when my children are older they will have many amazing family memories involving the wii u and the time spent together.

Having owned just about every Nintendo console ever, it was inevitable that I'd eventually go for this one too, despite the generally poor response, and the distinct lack of third party support. I took the plunge after seeing the review for 3D Mario World, and then realising that slowly but surely a fine collection of games was now available for it. More, it must be said, than either of two new leading consoles have right now (though we all know they will expand). It's a strange beast at first, the controller is large, but not unpleasant to use, and I have also brought the optional controller for a more console feel. But, so far, we've (the whole family) enjoyed it. From the excellent gameply of Zelda Windwaker and the Mario games, through the excellent Picmin, and the slightly weird, but lots of fun with our 4 year old, Wii Party (well worth it for the effectively free controller too). It may not be cool, it may not have all the best games, but those it does have are in a class of their own, and sometimes, it's nice to be a little bit different! This complements my Sony kit, and I'd prefer not to live without either.

Console arrived early... but wasn’t in its box, Wii U pad was kind of dirty and didn’t receive the Luigi game, come with 2 wii games that were too scratched so couldn’t even be traded in. So I’m not overly impressed but the console works as well as the Wii U pad

What can i say, this console is awesome! I had a snes years ago as my first nintendo console, my next was the wii. However the wii was a let down for me. It was aimed at games for 2 year olds and the only thing i really enjoyed on it was super mario world. Trying to play anything like resident evil was just a no no. Then along comes the wii U and at first i turned my nose up at it and said im not buying another nintendo as the games are crap and its just for kids. Well how wrong was i? Took the plung and got this for christmas and i absolutely love it. The graphics are on par with the 360 and ps3, and who needs better than that for a game? The game pad is actually quite fun to use and interacts with games well, such as zombi U where it acts as your back pack and map. Nice to see the console isnt just marketed towards games for 2 year olds, splinter cell, zombie U, call of duty etc, loads to choose from, great to play with the wii u Pro controller and a nice move with nintendo wanting to be a console for everyone to use. Perfect for kids who want the 3+ games and perfect for adults too. If you have a wii i would seriously upgrade to a wii u, it is 10x better and if they had a better marketting campaign i think it could have done so much better. Do not delay and buy one today! You wont be disapointed!

Llegó rapidísimo y está genial!! Estamos contentos con la decision de pedirla. Preocupaba q fuese importacion inglesa pero nos ahorramos dinero y solo hubo q poner adaptador en los enchufes. :)
