Has anyone used a Wii U, is it any good?
Yep I've used one and won't bother again. I haven't liked a Nintendo console since the Gamecube in all honesty though and the original Wii I found cumbersome and overrated, the Wii U is better than the original but it's clear Nintendo are quickly being left behind in console development...my main gripe is the controller with the screen in it. To use it with any game currently on the market requires you looking away from the action on the screen to use it and it just doesn't fell intuitive, the main problem though is that my phone has a better resolution, is easier to read and is far more intuitive to use.
To that end both Sony and Microsoft have a far better solution with their next gen consoles as they let you use your phone in much the same way except you can take them with you when you go out and continue playing in some way, if you have a Vita then you get full functionality on the move and can play your PS4 games wherever and whenever leaving the Wii U and it's USP redundant to anyone who owns a smartphone.
There is a complete lack of games for the Wii U too as thrid party developers are walking away from it due to a lack of up take, personally I can find only two games I would buy for it which makes it a non starter. It's not a true next gen console either as it performs to the standard of the current PS3 and Xbox consoles in terms of resolution. For me it's already outdated and that's a major issue for me.
This is sounding very negative and it is but it should be said I was a huge Nintendo fan until the Wii so it's not just bashing them as I prefer another console as a fanboy it's more to do with me having high hopes for the Wii U that have been dashed. I've pre ordered a PS4 and either that or the Xbox One are true next gen consoles, the Wii U is going to struggle to keep up I'm afraid and I wouldn't buy one which is a huge problem for the console as I'm not alone.
