    Nope. It's incredibly slow (someone timed it as being over 30 seconds to shut down an application), looks clunky, and I highly doubt it'd fit my hands.

    I have no interest in the Wii U either. You will find that plenty of people have a similar response.

    Sorry I guess?

    Lol yeah there's a lot of hate going around, none I have heard from anyone who actually has one. Im a huge 360 fan boy even tho I have a ps3 as well. But the wiiu is awesome for what it is right now, it does a lot more then anything out for the next year. The game pad surprisingly feels real comfortable in your hands. Real cool thing is I can play a game of COD or whatever on the game pad screen while the wife watching something on tv.

    I love my wiiU! I got it on launch day and I couldn't be happier. The load times aren't that bad at all! To all you haters... BOOOOOOOO

    WiiU is fantastic. The gamepad is very cool and the way it integrates into different games is very unique. I also love netflix, the web browser, youtube, and miiverse. I love that it is my new universal remote. no more fiddling with the tv remote, cable remote, and the computer. Wiiu does everything I need it to Very seamless. Did I mention I love the gamepad?

    Add me as a friend on miiverse: Kaorte

    What games did you get? I got SMBU, zombiU, and nintendoland. I was hoping to get pikmin 3 but it looks like the release got delayed boo

    Mario cart 64 and super Mario 64 were IMHO the best renditions of those games. Woot!

    Are you kidding? Wii was a great console when it came out. the 3DS is also very cool. They are pushing the boundries with new technology, not just upping the graphics and making games more "realistic". I couldn't care less about realistic graphics. I want creativity! I want to use motion and gestures, not just click a bunch of buttons really fast. To me, that is not fun. Call me a "casual gamer" because that is what I am!

    WiiU has fantastic graphics, support for hardcore gaming, and tons of new and unique casual games.

    Have you even touched a wiiu??? All my friends who have come over love playing it
