Wii U and the old Wii Equipment:
Most Wii U games also support the old MotionPlus controller. That means whoever the huge pad control (like me) do not want to use this must not! What is missing on buttons will be replaced by movements. If one were to use Wii U controller there is no more motion control! NOTE: Normal motion controller without Plus function is not supported by some games!
Wii U and Wii games old:
The internet is not smart when trying to find out what resolution Wii games will be played on the Wii U. It's 576i and no HD resolution at 1080p. The picture is therefore indeed clear but very grainy and just enjoy to further distance to the television! Whoever therefore asks if he wants to buy rather than Wii version or as a Wii U version Mario Kart who just has to wonder whether the lower price of the old game are worth the optical defects.
Wii U and Rentro Console:
Who does not have the old consoles and happy again etc. Donkey Kong Country SNES or from Donkey Kong 64 wants to play will be disappointed. The Nintendo eShop is the Wii U except for a few NES or 3DS games ago not much. Lean a little better but still sees as the Wii mode (the same as on the Wii). Here you can get at least one Mario Party and Mario Kart 64 for a lot of money. ATTENTION: There is a Classic Controller needs is connected to a remote controller. That sounds not only to rip off that it is. Totaler Controller mess, no comparison with a PS Store on the PS3 or MarketPlace Xbox 360 experience.
Wii U and the memory.
32GB are a joke but since the online store of Nintendo also a joke is you have to worry about it, because pure saving games rich 32GB all times. And if it appears still too little can be a 2.5-inch hard drive
with up to 2TB buy and use. ATTENTION: No 3.5 inches!
Conclusion:
For the elderly and technology-shy, I advise against this console because there are too many things on which one must pay attention. Times this does not work, sometimes you need that, etc. The basic idea of a console with "Spielrein and go" is converted to the level of a PC system in this way without their benefits. The games, however, are worth it and just the Wii U graphics of Wii U games is beautifully designed and lovingly. More than Mario with its Mario in all forms and varieties, Donkey Kong, Zelda and Metroid or possibly Starfox one can not expect here. If you use this console but also for old games to get the best of everything.
What do you need it?
Only the Wii and Wii MotionPlus Controller old (you get incl. Nunchuck & Silicon case from 12 as a set)
I hope I was helpful;)
