I personally really enjoy my Wii U but i’m an old Nintendo gamer.
The console is lacking somewhat in terms of original games and the controller can take some getting used to, but not much. It does have a fairly neat feature of letting you use the Game pad as the remote for your TV. You can also use the controller to play certain games and then use the TV for watching TV. Another plus is that it does play Wii games and you can keep using your old Wii Remotes and Nunchucks.
There are plenty of really good NES and SNES games on there as well.
The consoles also doesn’t have very much storage space. The Basic Set has 8GB of memory and the Deluxe set has 32GB. If you have the Deluxe set and don’t download a lot of classic games etc. and buy disc based games you’re probably good, at least for a little while. If you get the Basic set you will need to buy an external drive.
It does have Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Video for watching TV shows and movies.
Even though it is next gen it has more things in common with the 360 and PS3 than it does with the Xbox One and PS4.
Unless you’re a big Nintendo guy I would probably recommend the Xbox One or the PS4 instead.
The biggest game i’m looking forward to right now is the new Super Smash Bros. mainly because this guy is in it.
