I don't personally play it, so my review comes from a "techy/parent" POV. It was difficult to find the WHITE one that wasn't just 8 gigs, and my Son wanted the White version - this limited edition is White AND has 32 GB, and is expandable. My Son absolutely loves it, and we had the regular Wii previously and currently have the XBox 360 as well, but there's just no comparison to being able to play Super Mario Bros. and Tetris (I mean really, even us parents have played those)!!! The fact that he can walk around carrying the handheld device and play at the same time is HUGE! Don't tell him, but I may just put him on the Stairmaster while playing, you know, just to get some exercise into that little dude! LOL All in all, awesome set-up, Nintendo!!

For the price, I found the number of games limited - not to mention the cost of a pro controller if you want a more conventional gaming experience. As an adult, I found the forced use of the gamepad unnecessary, frustrating, and confusing. For example, there are parts of the Wii U main menu that can only be navigated through the gamepad. Why? To force the user to use the gamepad. There's a lot of that throughout - I wish I could just turn off the gamepad and use the pro controller, but unfortunately the Wii U gamepad is tethered to the console itself - when the Wii U is on, the gamepad is on, and vice versa. Overall, there are some really great games once you get over the quirkiness... but for the price, I wish I would have got a Playstation 4.

Of the few games I've gotten so far, I've had a lot of fun! The graphics look nice for what it is, but the 60 FPS claim is a little exaggerated as it only seems to hold that constant for games made from Nintendo directly, not 3rd party developers, but that's not to say their games were horrible or anything. The system feels like new, Nintendo did a great job refurbishing it, making the price VERY worth it! Only a couple of complaints: When using earphones in the Gamepad, it sounds very quiet. I know Nintendo wants to avoid lawsuits for causing hearing damage and all, but it just sounds too quiet even for those with sensitive hearing. Should have put an option to boost the volume in Parental Controls to make it hard for young kids to turn the volume up higher or something. Also, I found it ridiculous I needed a very specific external storage unit if I wanted more storage for games like Xenoblade Chronicles X. Hope their next home console comes with a LOT more storage space.Read full review

I looked at other prices for the same system but this one is cheaper and works great. I have only one complaint but I don't know if is because the system is refurbished or just all Wii u are like that but the settings and updates you have to do once you are trying to get it ready to go and play takes a long time. On the last update it took about 20 minutes and the loading arrow didn't even move for a while. So yeah that's my only complaint if this is normal for all Wii u then by all means ignore this complain.

This item is a great value even though it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the regular deluxe pack(doesn't have any of the stands) but it comes with 2 games free. The product itself looks very appealing,Nintendos standards are very high.
