It's awesome.
Got my Wii U late this morning and so far it's even better than I imagined. First of all, the GamePad is just fantastic. It's lighter than I expected, more comfortable than I expected, and the screen looks great. The system itself is bigger and heavier than I expected as well. Great, quality build for the system itself.
Onto the games quick. So far I have only played Nintendo Land, and it's a great pack-in game. There is a lot of depth, surprising difficulty, a TON of unlockable treasures and in-game achievements, and it's just a blast. It really shows off what the system can do.
The other game I got was New Super Mario Bros. U, but I haven't played it yet. Saving it for Thanksgiving break so my brothers and I can play the whole game together over the holiday.
In my brief experience with the Wii U, I can so far say it has lived up to the hype. I look forward to enjoying this system more!!!
Also, if you have a Wii U, feel free to add me as a friend!!!
