(CURRENTLY PLAYING: Luigis Mansion: Dark Moon)
So for my birthday this year, I finally purchased a WiiU! Needless to say, this was long overdue. I immediately set about to setting it up and playing, and once all the updates and transferring was done, I finally got to play!
First things first was to set up my Miiverse account, otherwise I wouldnt be able to see comments or add friends! So far, Miiverse is pretty cool. It allows you to post comments while playing games, allowing you to share thoughts or ask for help, and reply to posts made by others. Its pretty damn cool.
Then I set about syncing my TV with my WiiU so I could control the TV right from the WiiU gamepad. Gotta say, feels pretty awesome changing channels when youre doing it on a gamepad. Nintendo TVii also allows you to set your favorite shows, and it will then tell you when they will be on, and if you'd like to record it or not. Its pretty damn useful.
The WiiU also has screen/voice chat! If you want, you could call up other WiiU owners and have a chat, or ask questions about a game! Seems kinda odd at first(who'd wanna call a random person up, right?), but if your friends or family have a WiiU, you could face chat with them! Thats the cool part.
Of course, theres still the games. And 1080p graphics certainly dont hurt when playing. So far ive played Nintendo Land, and New Super Mario Bros U, or NSMBU for short, and both are awesome. I wont go into much detail about them, cuz I wanna focus on the system, but they are both excellent games to buy, and I recommend doing so.
The Gamepad. Excellent in and of itself. Playing a game, but someone else wants to watch TV? Not a problem, just continue playing on the gamepad screen! No need to stop gaming now just cuz of someone else! The gamepad also enables 5 person gameplay on certain games, something that hasnt been able to happen yet on consoles, excluding online play(we're talking local, as in, 5 people in a room, all playing the same game).
Theres still more to talk about, but im still experiencing it for myself! So i'll continue to update this until im fully comfortable using the WiiU.
