Reasons to buy a Wii U

The new Wii U is criticized by some, but the cons are really insignificant things that are cherry-picked by fans of Playstations and other portable consoles. There are many pros to the new tablet-like device that Nintendo has recently developed, such as backwards compatibility, support for 3rd party games, online multiplayer, and a new style of gaming where only the player holding the Wii U can see a certain screen. The initial reaction of people who purchased a Wii U was confusion when seeing how simple it was, but then while playing the games, saw it had a feature that is new to the video game market. The player holding the Wii U can see a screen that the other players, who are watching the television, cannot. Nintendo Land uses this feature to its advantage in the game, “Ghost Chase”. The Wii U holder is the ghost, who can see the players on the Wii U screen. The other players, however, only see a dark screen on the TV with their characters, and are unable to see the ghost. And that brings us to games available for the Wii U. There are currently 108 games released for the Wii U, after only 4 months of release. Most of these are 3rd party games, which is a new feature for the Wii U. 3rd party games make up a majority of the games available, and now increase the rate at which new games for Wii U develop. Also, some of these games are exclusive to Wii U, and will not come out for any other consoles. Finally, the Wii U is one of the best consoles. It is 8x faster than Playstation 3 and 4x faster than Xbox 360. It is much quieter than the Xbox 360, and no reports of crashes have been found. There are many free games for Wii U, compared to Xbox where one game can cost fifty dollars. The Playstation 3 has stolen a lot of ideas from past systems, compared to the Wii U, which is a new gaming concept. The Wii U also has games with better coding than PS3 games, and is a lot more difficult to hack, making gameplay better for everyone. The framerate of the Wii U
