Let me just say that I DO NOT buy refurbished electronics EVER. I'm super paranoid about used, refurbed, and etc when it comes to expensive items unless they are antiques... obviously, this Wii U is not... although my 9 year old slightly disagrees because of the Switch (which we will buy when THAT is an antique;)
It came in a perfect box, sealed, wrapped, organized and everything so it looked 100% new. And everything was clean, beautiful and ready to go. We've had it for a while now and play Wii games on it as well. Honestly, we got it for the fact that you can't really play Mario anything on anything buy Nintendo... at least not in a reasonable way.
We weren't looking forward to having to place a sensor bar anywhere, but it's so slim and small that we put it in front of the TV and haven't noticed it since.
Because of this purchase, I would consider future refurbished gaming systems.... which is a HUGE thing for me;)

I received this used Nintendo Wii U, and it was in working order. However, one thing I wish the seller would have clarified was that the gamepad is needed for setup and this seller, as well as others, sell Wii U's without the gamepad if they are used. That's fine and all, but I wish more care was done to explain that the gamepad is required for setup. I didn't realize this, and I got it, tried to set it up and powers on, but couldn't do anything else with it because I don't have the gamepad, so I immediately ordered one. Luckily, in the meantime, I have a friend, who does not play Wii U anymore who is letting me borrow his until the one I bought comes in!

I bought tgis for my daughter for christmas and at first everything seemed perfect until i tried to stick a game in there. I tried several and all the disc would not read. So i kept trying and suddenly disc began to read but ...it would freeze completely after. Didnt want to return it even though i called amazon to do just that because my daughter was so happy to see it. So i called nintendo and now im going through the process of getting it repaired by them smdh. So christmas was ruined for her and sad for me. 150.00 for a dead system. Buyer beware

I recently had sent this in for a return because it would not sync no matter what I tried. Yes I know how to sync it properly. Despite the e-mail I got stating that perhaps I did not realize there was a button on both the remote and the console. I did and I also googled it to attempt everything on my end I could before I sent it in. I was hoping when they got it to sync the problem would be solved but it is not. It is connected to the gamepad but it will not connect to the internet or any additional controllers/items. I know this isn't my wifi because every other device connects to it fine. I really do want this WiiU but I'm rather frustrated at this point. When I initially researched I read some had issues with needing the inside wireless capability replaced on the console so before returning I had attempted to send it in for repair with Nintendo but got an error that the warranty had expired. I have other devices for streaming but I want to sync controllers and such for obvious reasons. Plus when I'm paying this much I'd like a device that works. Guess I'll have to wait till I can save up and send it to Nintendo for repair. Just be aware when you buy that this may be an issue for you too.

I love the product and will really enjoy using it when all the necessary parts to make it work come together. Unfortunately the Amazon description of the product is very vague and there is no information telling you that you need to purchase additional controllers if you wish to play the sports game. The game pad does not make for a satisfactory experience. Furthermore there is nothing to tell you that additional controllers need a motion sensor, which does not come with some of the accessory controls and must be purchased separately. We were able to find what we thought were the right controllers at Wal Mart - but the packaging was very deceptive and the motion sensors were not included. Second trip to Wally's discovered that they did not stock those sensors. Had we known these parts were needed we and they be listed in Amazon we would have purchased them. In fact we did order an additional controller through Amazon at time of the purchase, but now we have no idea if it will include the needed motion sensor or not. It is sold by a second party and has not arrived yet. So our birthday party for the kids bowling tournament will not be happening as the game is non functional for the lack of parts. The need for additional controls and sensors should be explained both with purchase of the console and the Sports Pak of games Nintendo sells. Very disappointing and very un-Amazon.

I got my Wii U few months ago and, the more I experience the more I love. my only regret is not getting the bigger hard drive. Though if you bought the 8 gig like I did you can upgrade to 32 gig with a SD card which are not hugely expensive.
I enjoy playing on gamepad and not tying up the TV. I also like i can play a game in my bedroom instead of having to stay in my living room where the tv is. Graphics are better then critics say who are usually just attacking Wii U and Nintendo with baseless points.
I also like taking screenshots from my games on miiverse. Miiverse for most part is a great forum as well except for the few trolls but they are everywhere. My experience though if you need help on a level and post a message for tips, people kindly aid their fellow gamers.

One of my best puchases of the year! Highly recommend this for someone who wants to play modern games with good graphics, surf the web, watch you tube videos and so much more. I can do all of this on the big screen in the living room or push it down to the gamepad so someone else can have the tv while I continue playing my game or surfing and I can use the gamepad in any room in the house. Works great with my Amazon Prime too. Now, because it's an "all in one" system it isn't without its shortcomings but only minor issues and nothing I can't live without. Too many great things to say about it and not enough time and space to say them in. In my opinion it's a fantastic system and you won't regret buying it. Two thumbs up!

I purchased this Wii U from MisterGames a few weeks ago. It came exactly as described and was delivered quickly. Unfortunately, that particular unit was defected (blinking blue light of death). It is important to note that the unit was brand new and the defect was beyond MG's control. MG refunded the unit without any hassle and provided excellent customer service throughout the entire transaction. Unfortunately this purchase didn't work out, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy from MisterGames again!

Reasonable shape used, seller forgot to remove parental lock and factory reset
Reviewed in Canada on October 17, 2020Verified Purchase
Everything was in reasonable shape for used. Got a white Wii U main system, tablet controller, HDMI cable, Wii Sensor bar and Nintendoland Game. Probably would have been better if the seller had reset and removed the parental lock on the system but found a workaround online if you're even moderately technical.
