This is the only new console generation to still offer the free online (when to pay 50 on Playstation 4 or Xbox One), the possibility of freeing the TV through the Gamepad screen is a really great idea, it helps play quietly while another person watches his show.
Big positive too, the console is small, silent, it is discreet on the TV stand. Bonus Wii U is backwards compatible with all Wii games and accessories.
So here we have a truly comprehensive console and above all much cheaper than the PS4 or Xbox One. With Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros or Bayonetta 2 exclusively, I highly recommend buying for fun among friends and family.
