[Closed] wii u???

Hi - I bought one for the family at Christmas. Kids are 7 & 5 and they love it. Excellent family console. Current fave title is Lego city undercover. Looking fwd to zelda and rayman.

Cheers for that. ... may have to get one....

I Bought my 9 yr old daughter a wii U last November. Lego City is brilliant but there is a lack of games for the system. The Wii back catalogue should keep a 5 yr old (and 5 yr old at heart) going.

If you have an old wii the controllers, wii fit etc all work on the wii U.

As the Wii-U isn't selling very well, a lot of publishers aren't supporting it. For example, EA released a few Wii-U titles (Need for Speed, Mass Effect, Madden, FIFA), but because they sold so poorly they stopped any further Wii-U development.

However, it is backwards compatible with Wii discs, and you can also download Gamecube, N64, SNES, NES, Neo Geo and Sega Master System games from the virtual console store, so there's still plenty of games available.

Those ad's during the TDF worked then?
😉

It's days are probably numbered I'd say it's had an even shorter gimmick life than it's older bro the Wii.

It's got some big titles this Christmas which will spurn sales, and Nintendo always sell big there own stuff, mario kart is coming and a new mario bro's, it's still over priced compared to others and won't run frostbite which is why ea pulled the plug, they did say they have something in the mix for wii u, time will tell

All I can say is that with daughter number 1 on crutches with a busted knee, the Wii is presently worth it's weight in gold! There's some serious Mariokart action going on this afternoon!

Could I also thank whoever recommended Wabbids Go Home on a previous Wii thread! It's brilliant!!!!

You are Michael Gove and I claim my copy of the bible!

Iolo..... do you have kids??? All the paper, toys, making things, playing outside, running jumping climbing trees that we do doesn't take up all the time... plus there is the usability for the rest of the family....

In answer to your question no I don't due to medical reasons.
All I'm saying id the kid is 5. Why the hell would you buy a five year old computer games? You really need to take a long hard look at yourself

Brilliant.
Daftvader- social services are on their way to you as we speak.....

DrP

Oooooooo get her? Judgemental! Parenting advice from someone with no kids? Fantastic!

Would you like me to give you some advice on building a nuclear reactor? Or wake-boarding? I know nothing about either, but how hard can it be?

Drp... so long as they comment from experience of actually having kids it'd be ok 😆
iolo head out of @$$ time. ... as I said there is the usability for the rest of family as well as minivader hence the question of if it would be a good system for a 5year old (me and mrs vader will also use).
Anyone with kids no matter what age may have a use for a games system. We use the wii as a family, and the 360conect as well as take long healthy walks in the countryside, play sports and oh and we all eat our 5 a day.... 🙄
And before you flame me for the "anyone with kids" comments my sister is unable to have kids too, but she adopted...

Binners.... 😆

I may not have any kids but I used to be one and never had this computermebob stuff you speak of. Look at me, I turned out fine 😀

Ah thats ok then.... perfectly qualified to comment.

I was once a child and have been a gamer since I was three (Spectrum ZX 48k, thanks dad!). I have loads of awesome memories of playing computer and console games with my friends and family, also loved doing art, reading, running around in the woods and building dens.

I'm now a well rounded, happily married individual who can argue on t'internet just like a person deprived of digital gaming delights in their childhood! \o/

You'd be hard pushed to find more strenuous and enthusiastic calorie burning than my daughters in a frenzied Just Dance session on the Wii

It's also an absolute joy to watch! 😀

Lol! I tried that one once but being a dyspraxic nearly tied myself in a knot!
