Wii U
My parents want to buy my 6 year old niece a Wii U for Christmas, but they don't know anything about what they need to buy and what model (are there different ones?) to buy either
I don't know anything about the Wii U. Little help please

Re: Wii U
There are two, the normal and deluxe. The price difference is $50, so get the deluxe($350). The cheaper one doesn't have enough internal storage and will cause them to have too uninstall games TO install new games.
I'm a tech junkie, and while the Wii U is a new system for Nintendo. Tech wise its about the same power as a 360 or PS3. Its great for kids, probably no one else will be interested. Just post anymore questions. |

Re: Wii U
honestly if she is six buy her a Wii. Cheaper and bigger library of games. Wii U seems like a waste to me.

That being said, it should probably be priced at $200, not $350. It's really overpriced for what is inside it. Sales didn't hit expectations, especially with software sales. I expect a price drop well before next fall, when the new Playstation or Xbox will launch. |

Re: Wii U
I literally watched a grandmother and mom talk them selves out of a Wii U last night at Target. They end up buying a Wii and a DS. The grandmother said "I don't see the value in this at all."
I was cracking up inside if a old lady can see a Wii U is not worth it.

My son is 5 and I just bought him a Wii game for his birthday...loves it. I don't see the point of the Wii U console. How's the resolution on the tablet part? It better be as good as the TV for $350.
