After some consideration, I decided on the Basic version of the Wii U with 8GB memory, because I was interested in any of the included games of the other versions.
Unfortunately I did not read completely, what is included and so I then noticed only after the purchase that my Wii sensor bar that I need games for the old Wii, is not there and had to then buy extra (but was unexpensive!).
For me, the 8 GB memory rich loosely because I do not play a lot of games, I think, however, for high volume players the Premium version is well worth Fa ..
So first thing is the biggest innovation to mention, namely the gamepad, of which I was a little scared, because it is almost as large as the console itself and so I had not imagined it, but there in the Werbund and illustration looked much smaller. Something I can not find the size, however, because the gamepad is still well in hand. It is also emphasized that you can even without the Wii have the gamepad u on your TV, for surfing just like a tablet may be used. The compounds in the games between gamepad and TV are quite reasonable and devised clever by Nintendo, so the game does not suffer from the two monitors;) Alternatively also be played on the gamepad while the TV for other things is used. Yes, the game pad can even be used as a remote control for many types of televisions.
It should also be mentioned that when gamepad and old controllers of Wii are used, you can now play in some games with up to five players.
As an alternative to the "old" Motion Plus controller is now the Wii U controller per (not tested), the Motion Plus controller can, however, use them for every new game and for some even a prerequisite (would have been a pity for them, because they make quite a bit of fun out I think).
Who does not want to lose his old stored Miis, I can recommend the Miis simply from the Wii or the Nintendo 3DS to transfer u to the Wii, this is very simple.
Another innovation is the network Miiverse, which is intended to maintain a social network and also the Wii U Chat is new.
Especially I welcome, of course, that you can play all the old games from the Wii on the Wii U, these switches can easily return to the old Wii Menu, the Wii U so to speak Wii and Wii U is in !!
Overall I can say that I am completely satisfied with the Wii U and now just still missing the right software for this console :-)
