So this is an actual video game console? Cause the price difference between the Wii Mini and U is about 200 bucks. Can someone specify ?

The Wii U is a generation ahead of the Wii/Wii Mini. Essentially, this is the old console. It only plays Wii games, and cannot connect to the internet so games with that kind of functionality won't be fully playable (offline play will work). Conversely, the Wii U is more powerful and will play newer games. Plus, the Wii U will also play all regular Wii games, so it would be worth it to spring for the U if possible.

It's the game console without Internet so online features for the games don't work. I don't know too much about the Wii U, but the Wii mini uses the original Wii controllers and reads the original Wii games.

It is an actual game console you put WII game disc into and play. The difference between the Mini and regular WII is you cannot connect to the internet on the mini, so you can't watch netflix, ect

It is a video game console. It will play all original Wii games but not Wii U games. They came out with Wii mini because they are no longer making the original Wii anymore but they wanted to keep customers happy who already purchased the original and didn't want to upgrade to Wii U. The price is extremely different and I didn't want to pay the price for U so I bought a mini for my kids after our first one broke. My sister has a Wii U and absolutely loves it but she has only one kid and tons of money. There both good. ..... it's all in what you want to pay. Good luck making your decision.

the mini just plays wii games. The more expensive one plays the gamecube game also.

Yes. I got this for my kids for Christmas and it is pretty much the same thing as a regular wii but can not connect to wifi. It is also just different color. Plays all the wii games but not wii u games. Hope this helps.

In the parts I've played all players needed a Wii Remote, not necessarily wii remote plus. The Wii U gamepad got passed from player to player for some specific individual challenges.

I'm sorry I can't really be of help in comparison to the Wii U and PS4, because we only have the Wii U. The graphics and the sound are very good. The game looks like the movie, if you have seen it. Sorry that couldn't be of real help.

We just have the regular Wii controllers and the Wii U controllers and they all seem to work just fine. It does come with a controller as well so for the price you can't really beat it.

I was going to ask the same thing. It's not just this game either, it's several WiiU games. We just bought the system for Christmas so I was bummed so many of the games seem to be out of regular stock.

There is a very little noticeable difference, but the game is more interesting to play on the wii u. And also you hace the option to use the game pad as a standalone console.

I have a Wii U only. I was told you can play this game on the Wii U. I have both the pro controller & the touch screen D pad but gamestop told me those don't work, so I bought a Wii remote plus today and that it should work. I tried it but it's not working for me. Do you know what I'm doing wrong here?

i just posted a comment on a long list of mad people about this deal and amazon has already removed the thread of everyone's comments. hiding the fact of unhappy customers i guess. its not worth waiting for these as the same thing happened last year with everything. even the ones you vote on, does anyone know anyone who actually gets picked to buy any of them? i buy stuff on amazon all the time and figure the more frequent buyers maybe have a better shot of getting picked. i mean $79 for a Wii is crazy, they could have just sold them at regular price because considering they are sold out everywhere even full price is a deal. i just think these deals don't really exist. i just posted a comment on a long list of mad people about this deal and amazon has already removed the thread of everyone's comments. hiding the fact of unhappy customers i guess. its not worth waiting for these as the same thing happened last year with everything. even the ones you vote on, does anyone know anyone who actually gets picked to buy any of them? i buy stuff on amazon all the time and figure the more frequent buyers maybe have a better shot of getting picked. i mean $79 for a Wii is crazy, they could have just sold them at regular price because considering they are sold out... » Read More i just posted a comment on a long list of mad people about this deal and amazon has already removed the thread of everyone's comments. hiding the fact of unhappy customers i guess. its not worth waiting for these as the same thing happened last year with everything. even the ones you vote on, does anyone know anyone who actually gets picked to buy any of them? i buy stuff on amazon all the time and figure the more frequent buyers maybe have a better shot of getting picked. i mean $79 for a Wii is crazy, they could have just sold them at regular price because considering they are sold out everywhere even full price is a deal. i just think these deals don't really exist. « Show Less

To be honest quality wise ....... for 10 dollars, it doesn't feel bad. It's not the best but it not falling apart on me either. Granted I may have just gotten a good 1 but it still works and it's basically always on. We have 5 controllers and my son's play a lot of games right now cause it's summer. So there's always a controller on it and it works fine. But like I said it may not be PlayStation Inc. quality but, it works, it can be plugged into a wall unit, and it's 10 bucks. Hopefully I answered your question and didn't over answer it........But I would buy this again.

I'd have to say no on this one. This is for the regular "Wii" units. The "Wii U" is Nintendo's next gen system. Other than the compatibility issues the form factor of the "Wii U" is different from the "Wii".

I would like to see some remade Gamecube games for 1080p. Playing original Gamecube games on the Wii U probably wouldn't look very good on today's LCD screens, so I doubt that will ever happen.

No, this was the best wii deal I found on internet. Go for it, I love mine.

Bought bundle for young grandchildren with a Wii system. Nothing written on back in figures or on sets to exclude any gaming system. My understanding is that with PS3 or XBOX360 that there are more levels and you can play online with multi players where with the Wii you can only play in the toy box.

I think it is worth it. It comes with one game already installed which includes music, a book, and letter writing practice at the very least. I just picked up a bunch of the games for $1.98 at toys r us though if you change your mind.

This game CAN be played on the Wii U.The "Wii U" is the newest game console from Nintendo. It much more powerful and plays a whole different set of games. The "Wii U" can play all "Wii" games. But the "Wii" can NOT play "Wii U" games. "Wii" is to "Wii U" as "PlayStatoin 2" is to "PlayStation 3"

Then how do you explain people buying up all the Wii's and then selling them at $100 or more over MSRP? I'm sorry but these sellers are GREED merchants. But obviously there are some customers willing to support that greed. Wise up. Amazon shouldn't give these people a place to peddle their greed. We don't need Amazon to tell us where to find these overpriced Blu-ray players. Amazon could tell us when they expect to receive the new BD60/BD80. That's a service we can use.

It's not really worth it for the authentic feel. I would recommend a N64 usbadapter instead and no, it's not compatible with Wii-U or any console for that! Hope I could help out! :)
