Wii U Review Part 4 - The Final Verdict

The Wii U satisfies both types of people, core and casual, with a variety of games and applications. It is easy to use, has amazing features and fun games. No-one knows what the future will bring for the Wii U but in my opinion it is one of the best consoles out now and with a few more games and updates to reduce loading times, it could be an amazing console. It is also very simple to transfer old data from the Wii to the Wii U.

Wii U Review Part 3 - GamePad

The GamePad is basically a tablet controller which allows you to have an asymmetrical (look it up) approach on games. The quality of the screen is sometimes better than the TV (depending on which TV you have) and is very easy to hold even if it is a bit heavy. It has two analogue sticks, A, B, Y, X, start and select buttons, a d-pad, a near field communicator, a TV controller, a microphone, a home button, a power button and two shoulder and trigger buttons (R, L, ZR, ZL).
