We Spent Over A Week With Wii U. Here’s The Good, Bad, And Battery Life

Siliconera- Nintendo turned the Wii into a phenomenon by creating buzz around motion controlled video games. Much to the chagrin of hardcore gamers, simple games expanded the Wii’s user base. Titles like Super Smash Bros. Brawl still made the console an attractive purchase for Nintendo fans, but the Wii was missing strong support from third party developers. Six years later, Nintendo has a new console and a different innovation. Let’s check out the Wii U.

Wii Cricket Bat U

I dont understand.

lol, There is a Cricket Bat in ZombiU that you use to kill the Zombies with. As the game didn't score too well in the reviews, people are using the term Cricket Bat to kind of stigmatize and make fun of the game and Wii U.

Bottom line, If you don't have friends to play with ( like me ) then stay away of this console.

3.5 hr battery life I thought 5 hrs even that was bad but 3.5 were talking constant charging, premature battery deaths, this a joke right what is Nintendo using to power this thing the pad is huge and should be able to house a decent size battery wtf is it a DS battery
