A dream of gameplay

A few days ago the unit trickled into my room and I can say only one thing about this:
Nintendo knows how to do it! Never again will I stir on consoles from other manufacturers.
But first:

Packing:

The packaging is designed nicely. The blue background of the Premium variant,
which I bought here before the black console including Gamepad
emerges, looks classy and is pleasant with the black border, on which
the Wii U Logo lifts adds.

The scope of supply:

Included in the Premium variant is the game Nintendo Land,
an HDMI cable, a power cable for the power supply, a charger for the
Gamepad, a Wii Remote Sensor Bar, a stand feet for the gamepad,
a standing charging station for the gamepad, two stand feet to the console
vertically set up, various manuals and warranty card,
Gamepad and of course the console.

*** The console ***

Appearance:

Approximately 4.6 cm high, 26.8 cm long and 17.2 cm wide, weighing 1.6 kg
making it in black piano lacquer in my opinion really something forth.
It is much smaller and more compact than my PS3 Console (80GB).
In the Premium Veriante it contains a memory of 32 GB, expandable
external hard drives.

CPU:

In the device, an IBM Power-based Tri-overclocked core microprocessor with the
Codenamed Espresso. Clocked the 3 cores with 1.24 GHz clock, which
the menu and also the pleasant games load quickly and not jerky.

GPU:

AMD Radeon-based High Definition GPU codenamed bar.
Clocked at 550MHz and integrated eDRAM watch the games accordingly
beautiful. Is one of Nintendo but otherwise normal. The Games saw
there has always been extremely nice out for appropriate conditions.

The gamepad:

With a 6.2 inch (15.75 cm in the diagonal) touchscreen
(Pressure sensitive) come from in my opinion very successful controller.
On the left is a standard control pad, right four buttons
(A, B, X and Y). In each case above upon it are the left and right analog sticks.
Down at the gamepad are home, power and TV button.
The TV button can be configured so that as the gamepad
Can use TV remote control.
Back in the device is a stylus pen, which is also necessary.
There is a front camera and bottom of the pad, a microphone above the screen.
Then there's the shoulder buttons L, R, ZL and ZR. Furthermore, located to the left
on the controller an interface for the NFC chip contained. This is it
are made possible, maps and figures, which also contain an NFC chip,
scan and unlock so z. B. additional content.
The Controller screen has a resolution of 854x480 pixels.
However, the controller is also 3D-capable, what you however a stereoscopic glasses
required.

The battery lasts unfortunately only 3 - 5 hours, yielding regularly to the station
needs. However, there are of Nintendo for 29.99 EUR a rechargeable battery that according to information
5 - to keep 8 hours.

Nintendo Network:

Nintendo Network is the free online service by Nintendo. A lot can
I to not say, except that it is nice and colorful.
The browser is fantastic and you can find everything what you are looking.
I was surprised how much possible. One can eg. As news in
Send Mii verses in which to draw something or scribbles touchscreen goodness.
This makes insanely fun!
The eShop is pleasantly decorated. One finds everything a gamer's heart
desires: Games for all consoles Nintendo released the last 30 years:
NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii and Wii U.
In addition, Sega Megadrive conversions of (Genesis) games and many more.
The prices are really reasonable.

Nintendo Country:

The game contained exclusively in the Premium variant has a lot to offer.
Lovingly staged the standalone designed Mii (the online alter ego)
integrated as an immediate hero.
Not only visually, but also animation and idea technically it is very well done.
The games are really there for everyone. Whether for old-established Nintendo
Hares or newcomers there really is something for everyone.
Also there are a lot of Easter eggs, sometimes obvious, sometimes less obvious.
For example, when you enter the game, one often hears known jingles from previous
Times. Also how to earn coins for extras starts sensational!
I do not want too many spoilers, the game is just recommended here!

Price-Performance:

I have purchased the Premium Pack for 279 EUR on Amazon.
It was well worth it, if only because really, and more,
what you need and more. The game Nintendo Land is a useful addition.
Who in my eyes had the misfortune and the Basic variant has increased,
the need to dig deeper into what the purse. Because Nintendo Land I
in eShop discovered for around 63 EUR. But at the extent no wonder.
This I can only guess, to put to the Premium Varante because they allow companies
not only saves money, but also can start right away.

Clientele:

I can see already in the few hours that at
Nintendo a completely different clientele staying than Sony.
In Nintendo Network is no curse, curse or insult on.
Why should they? If yes to not get bored.
The people there are all friendly, funny have fun. Of course
there are also times Comments à la Doofes game but nobody there is
really abusive. The change from Sony to Nintendo is easy for me right
and I regret it not one second. On the contrary, I wonder from
today's perspective, why am I so long remained at Sony?

Conclusion:

I've played a few hours and am floored how much fun this
Console makes. The screen responds perfectly and the gaming experience is really here
an experience. I can not wait, more games for this fantastic
Console to buy. Just as I imagine a game console.
A console that makes across the board fun.
In addition, Nintendo will judge especially with the Wii U to core gamers,
so something for everyone is really.
Even if the controller takes some acclimatization time,
on the other hand stinks my Sony PS3 from like an old rag lubrication. Even the PS4
can not take my opinion with the Wii U. Fun factor pur!
As in the '90s can be said here: Have more fun!

Today I bought a Wii Remote to get the full functionality
the Wii U to use. There is the Wii U menu the option of Wii Menu
driving. This gives you the opportunity to almost all Wii Games on
Equipment reproduce.
So you have virtually two consoles in one: Wii U and Wii.

Let's be honest: Who has the console and in addition the controller
use the console predecessors? :)
