Typical, my first post was completely ignored.

What other little complaints did you have? Share them with us!

What are they? System or also game related?

 

If you want suggestions, I can give you some for your kids. How old are they? Do they only like party games?

Nintendo Land is good for all ages, I can vouch with a 4 year old who loved Zelda sword-swinging game while an 11 year old that bought a WiiU due to the DK tilting game.

Did they like Wii Party? With Wii Party U you get another wiimote plus, and it comes with some good interactive games plus some table-gamepad ones. It is a bit slow, I feel this is for younger kids since the game always explain everything.

Did they enjoy NSMBU? How about Super Mario Galaxy? If they can do 3D, then Super Mario 3D World is a great multiplayer game to get.

Pikmin 3 might be too frustrating if they are young, but the few coop maps they have you can help them get grips on the gameplay.

Same with Wonderful 101, but only if you have extra Wii classic controllers (I assume you haven't bought any Pros).

I purposefully did ignore that comment, as I am not out to get the WiiU or try to knock it down.  It seemed most people didn't quite understand the point of my OP.  The point was that if an avid gamer can buy a WiiU and struggle/be annoyed by it, how will the other people who just buy the system feel?  Like I have said, this system has only been in my home for 5 days.  My comments were based on just 2 games and 2 days of playing with it. 

My kids that use it are 4,8,10 yrs old.  They like the party games the most, as they can all play.  They actually liked the Olympics game, as they could all play against each other.  The mario brothers game was good to me, as it was really retro in style.  I have a 15 yr old son, but he doesn't really have much interest outside of the shooters.  He did get a kick out of using the tablet to "help" us play Mario Brothers.

We will try some other games via rental before purchasing(except for Mario 3D).



It is near the end of the end....
