The Wii U Overview! (with a Special Video!)

Shame I didn't publish this earlier on the Wiikend. Get it? Ha. Ha.

Anyway, I'M BACK! WAHAHA!

It's been a long time, but after a lengthy hiatus, I hope to start writing about things and stuff and more things game and movie related very soon!

The topic of my return? I bought a Wii U! So what better time to announce my impending return to the Emporium (my...revengeance, ahahaha) then with an overview of the Wii U system!

Ah but wait...this one's a little special.

Indeed, I actually have a video of my own making to show you!

Yes, this should be fun!

I do hope you enjoy the silliness!

And as a quick post video summary of the Wii U...


YAY 

• Nintendo in HD!
• Slick interface and use of options.
• The use of two screens via the Gamepad is...surprisingly sweet! The Gamepad is durable, useful and very cool!
• Miiverse and eShop are steps in the right direction regarding online connectivity.
• Multiple controller options, including old Wii remotes.
• Speaking of which...BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY!
• Compact and usually quiet console design. 
• Growing library to justify a purchase for fans of Nintendo games!

 NAY

• Unfortunate that it still can't play DVD's/Blu-rays.
• The battery life for the gamepad is remarkably poor.
• Long-term storage is limited, requiring external hard drives.
• The Nintendo TVii function is very limited depending on your set-up, and ultimately useless in my case.
• Still a bit hard to justify for everyone. Poor ports and lack of third-party games hurts.
