Just bought WiiU yesterday:

Impression:
1) This thing is complicated for a 1st timer to Wii (never have a Wii). So many different controllers.
2) The WiiU gamepad is also complicated with so many stuff.
3) The console itself is slim and good!! Way smaller than my Xbox360!
4) WiiU gamepad quiet heavy. Cannot take with one hand for long period.
5) WiiMote Plus with nunchack, quiet ok to use (Additional item)

So far played Nintendo Land and SM3DWorld (a bit). Really enjoyable, playing with my 10 yrs old son. smile.gif The WiiU gamepad seems to be a bit hit and miss…in some games (like Zelda Battlequest in NintendoLand, it’s quiet useful for the archer and a nice experience), in others like that Fruity drawing game, is kinda stupid and boring. Pikmin in Nintendoland is pretty good..had a good laugh when got eaten by the monster and dump out as shit and needs recue from your partner! LOL.
Tried: NETFLIX and HuluPlus. NETFLIX seems to stream at lower quality than possible on PC. HULUPLUS seems to have better quality and almost on par with PC. After watching for a few hours and playing, the console remains lukewarm. Impressive! thumbup.gif
All in all, a worthwhile purchase, it’s all about Fun! I was really sick with all the serious games on my XB360 and PC. Great graphics don’t make great games.  The first party Nintendo games alone makes it worthwhile. Who cares if there’s no “serious “ or 3rd party games….all those can be play on the PC. Glad I didn’t waste RM1.7k on a  PC graphic card which does nothing but gives more frame rates!!! doh.gif

This reminds me the excitement of the original Playstation and Sega Saturn.

Hopefully my Mario Kart 8 arrives tomorrow. smile.gif

Is this US region or Asian? The box says pre-installed, so should be ok i guess. How much did you pay for this?

Please recommend seller. I want to go full digital. I even found seller for 2 or 3 WiiU digital games.

I bought at lowyat plaza. I won't recommend any seller to you because this is the 1st time I'm dealing with them.
Please survey around & look for a seller that you are comfortable with.
