We had long thought about what new console we buy us and we finally decided on the Wii U, since there is, inter alia, with the complete Mario World most game for children. And what can I say: It is a mega-fun for all. We play Mario Kart 8 together and laugh us broken. I myself play passionate about X-Box, but it is alone and I also belong to the people who are firmly convinced that is "Call of Duty" nothing for children.
The gamepad is appears at first glance very large, but can be well controlled and on the screen is all to recognize. Advantage here is that the game pad can be used independently with the Wii U. So can play a TV and the other a game.
Also positive is the Wii U is (in contrast to PS4 or Xbox One) backward compatible, older Wii games and accessories can therefore continue to be used or borrowed.
