Wii U Review: Should you buy one



The Wii U came out in 2012 and has sold approximately 8 million consoles and there is 300 hundred million people in the U.S. So a lot of people haven't made up their minds yet. Since is early in the console generation, people are hesitant on where they should by a Wii U. This Review is to help, you make up your mind whether is this a good fit for you.


Games
The exclusives are by far the best feature about the Wii U console. There is no other console manufacturer that can say they have a 30 year old franchise. They also have the greatest quality control for their exclusives, Its very rare for Nintendo to release a broken game. Its Ironic that where they strive they also die in. Nintendo has the best exclusives but the worst third party support. Third parties are the guys who make the juggernauts like Call of Duty , Grand Theft Auto and Battlefield. What will most likely not see the light of day on the Wii U.

User Interface
The user interface is the most important feature of the console. The Wii U layout is similar to Xbox One Tile System. In the fact that you launch the system and pin what seems like a infinite amount of stuff. The  cool part is that they added the Quick start menu what tries to cut flub and waiting time in between you and your game. The Wii U Gamepad is immensely useful to the experience whether its to use touch pad for the Eshop mini game or using to complete a task what would take a bit longer with the traditional controller.

HARDWARE
Now the Wii U is the first HD Nintendo console that makes the huge leap from those wretched
AV Cables.  The Game Pad is the star of console in my book. Its make the Wii U a mobile home console.  What I mean by that is I can play Wii U in my Kitchen even though the Wii U is upstairs. There is virtually no lag. That is one of the most innovative features I have seen since I was able to launch games through Xbox 360 Guide. The Wii U is underpowered to it competitors specs wise but if you didn't tell me that, then I would think the Wii U would be on par with Xbox one and PS4. I have not played in mutiplats by any means, but Mario Kart 8 is a testament to what you can do with a  "underpowered" Console.

Conclusion 
Should you buy a Wii U? Yes, but buy it as a secondary platform. Its great for Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and Zelda but it doesn't get enough games to keep you entertained all year.

Stuff I want to get before I Go to college (Fun Edition)


  I have been eying stuff to get before I go to college.Most of it cough all of it is electronics.some off it is over zealous and other stuff is more practical.Will I get probably not all of the Stuff.


            Why do I want a Wii U because of all of the exclusives.Now is the Wii U going to be my primary console no but it going be the most played when the New Zelda drops or WHEN STARFOX COMES OUT! There is also more games then just that like Mario Kart 8 what looks awesome and make really make me want a Wii U and Super Mario 3D world pictured to left looks awesome to.Then there are cool looking Japanese game what is simple called X what I have no idea what going on in the trailer but I like that. Then there is (make sure I still have chest hair)  Toad Tracker game and Yoshi Yarns what is utterly adorable I have always been sucker for Toad. 
 
What is this 4k TV blasphemy . Its the next step in the resolutions evolution (it rhymes :)I want a  4k TV because it obviously will provide better overall picture quality with the upscaler chip inside making all my game look better and plus I will get a bigger TV at that and that will be nice to. Plus it will be future proof for when 4k becomes main stream while I am in college and will be broke. It probably help my social status little bit around campus to.

Games , Games and More Games. 2015 looks awesome for you guessed it video games. There is your big Triple As such as Halo 5, Just Cause 3 and Batman Arkham Knight. there are also some cool indies games like Star Citizen , Super Hot. So in college your bored to tears eating ramen Noodles and broke as a hobo out side of McDonalds. So having game like just cause 3 what can  last  95+ hours is super important. Then me and my roommates will have something to play.

GTX 980's purpose just like the 4k TV is to be future proof. It has twice the performance as my current card the GTX 770 2gb. For the less tech person is that my games will run better and look better than they do now. meaning I will not be able to push games to 4k but most definitely push them above 1080P and beyond.
