Innovative GamePad, Nintendo's finally in HD, Improved online approach, Large launch lineup, Pro bundle solidly priced
Poor GamePad battery life, Sluggish menus and interface, Online issues, delayed features, Lacks early system seller, Basic set is a bad deal
For Nintendo fans looking to finally enter the HD era, the Wii U may seem like a beacon of light in an endless downpour – and if you're coming from the Wii, it will be quite impressive, indeed. Not only are the publisher's own properties sleeker than eve...
