The news editor, Pete Davison gives a very favorable review....  Seems like the others are "not yet...." or "not unless you are a Nintendo Fan" but overall decent reviews.

 

The case is slowly building for the Wii U.  Just wish DKTF was coming out this month instead of Feb.- not so much for me but for potential buyers.

The case was always there for me. I honestly don't see any problems with the console and never have. For me I think the only major reason it hasn't been selling is down to the lack of advertisement. The PS4 and Xbox One are plastered all over TV screens, why the Wii U never has been I'll never know (Nintendo have more than enough money to advertise). Most consumers of any product will only buy if it has been advertised to a considerable level, advertising improves consumer confidence in a product, and it is never too late to start advertising.

 

This is how the UK works anyway.

Me too.  I didn't see the need to get one during launch- but thought it was cool and was intrigued enough to follow it vicariously through articles and watching for new titles.  Took the plunge in April- I was fairly impressed with NintendoLand but a little disappointed in NSMBU- tho it has grown on me since. As I've picked up more titles, the system grew on me.

 

While the Wii U might be missing out on some of the bigger, more popular games, it still has a pretty decent selection.  There's 114 retail titles- I have, or will have soon 23 of them and among those, there's really not a bad game.

 

I wish more in the media- tho there are some- who see the value proposition behind the Wii U.  You get some truly unique games- if you had a Wii, you can still play your old ones, if you missed the Wii, you have access to a pretty big library of games. With the new Mario game, it's possibly the game of the year on any system.  Plus for the same price as a PS4, you get 3-4 games, depending on the bundle and the games you chose, not to mention online play.

 

I've seen maybe one or two other articles like this:  http://www.businessi...box-one-2013-11
