Got a Wii U

[BellGreen]

It is very fun to play on. The graphics on the GamePad could be a bit better though. What do you guys think of it?

~Review~
Upsides:
-GamePad is very lightweight
-Graphics are the most vibrant on the TV
-GamePad is big for most players
-Allows players to use a USB drive to add more space if you got the basic set (like moi)
-YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON INTERNET BROWSER (especially if you don't have a NN ID for the app.)

Downsides:
-GamePad battery could be just a little better?
-Graphics on GamePad are nice, but edges around objects are zigzagged

I think the gamepad graphics are pretty good for having them streamed onto it. Especially with Netflix. It's not as good as the 1080i that I get on the TV, but dang does it come close.

Love the Youtube thing. So, how long does the GamePad battery last, on average?

From what I've seen its very well put together. I haven't seen a flaw in it yet, or not any that i can remember.

I would say 5-4 hours on a lowish brightness setting, 2ish hours on the maximum brightness setting. That's just my experience though.

It's not a problem for me personally, I rarely find myself playing games for more than 2-3 hours at a time these days.

My brother and I have been playing NSMBU for hours in a row. It's plenty more harder than the other games. The beautiful graphics make up for it by a landslide though.

I also feel that the GamePad is a bit more fragile than I thought. Before I got a case, I dropped it once, and the left side was squeaking a bit.

Any thoughts in MiiVerse? It's pretty good, although I want a plain MiiVerse community just to chat randomly.

I've been called stupid by this guy in my school for caring about console gaming and/or graphics, but I don't really care about what he says. All I can say about the Wii U is that it is really awesome, and many new features of the Wii U are really great, and I really think that many of the games they have are really fun and addictive. But the only downside for me is the huge price for the games (in Canada, the average Wii U game is $60!).

I got so lucky when I ordered MH3U on Amazon for ?39.99.. the next day I saw it for ?45 or so D:
I just do that now, buy all my games from Amazon because they are ALWAYS cheaper, unless I get a GAME card to use.

The difficulty is a good thing. In my opinion the largest problem with Mario games is that they're aimed for little kids and casual gamers without even giving an option for a harder difficulty.
