The wiiu gam pad feels lightweight and is, but surprisingly durable. It's a good controller for kids and adults. The screen on the device allows you to play games or watch Netflix while someone else uses the tv. Or if you like me take it to bed when your sick and still watch shows. It's ergonomic and buttons are placed well. The material however is easy to notice any finger prints or otherwise so it'll make you want to clean it pretty regularly .

Despite the launch of the Nintendo switch, Wii U's and game pads are very expensive. This was a great buy, and was worth the money. That being said, it's battery life isn't great. Lasts about an hour, then you need to plug it in. Cosmetic scratches all over. Very dirty, all over and in the screw holes. Kind of gross.

"When Nintendo launched the original Wii, it came with a controller like no other; the slim, light Wiimote was designed for simplicity, with a focus on motion-based gaming. With the Wii U GamePad, Nintendo goes in a completely different direction, with a large tablet-like controller with a 6-inch touchscreen at its center. Depending on the game, the screen can be used to control certain gaming functions, or mirror the action taking place on your TV, letting you play while using the TV for something else. The controller can also be used as a universal remote, and has a camera to let you insert your face into games. The GamePad, which includes a full-range of standard game controls in addition to the touchscreen, "feels at once futuristic and comfortable, less like an ersatz tablet and more like a really comfortable (but big) game controller with a helpful screen," according to Joystiq. Although the screen is low-resolution, Joystiq says that "Wii U games running on the GamePad screen look almost as good as they do on the TV, and playing exclusively on the GamePad feels perfectly natural." Time likes the GamePad's ability to work as a secondary display, or mirror game action directly, and says that the Wii U "is about what you can do if you make one of the screens your TV, then snap off the other and let it wander around a room." The biggest issue facing the GamePad may be battery life. With just 3 1/2 hours between charges, the GamePad may not be the best option for marathon gaming sessions, though it can be used while it's charging " - engadget Read full review

I'm afraid mine arrived without a stylus, so I saw fit to salvage my old Wii U stylus. Hopefully, the pad will not become prone to a sticky joystick as before; I'll take care to keep it clean. The design is mostly familiar, so I can forgive the multiplicity of buttons. My biggest difficulty is in remembering where the plus and minus are with regard to each other, as well as remembering whether to hit L or ZL and R or ZR. I'm rather impressed that the pad comes with a camera, a microphone, and even a breath sensor. Not many games make good use of all these features, tho. Some games require this rather than another Wii U controller. When I've downloaded a game originally made for the Nintendo DS, even if it doesn't call for much use of the stylus, I prefer to look at the tiny screen rather than my TV. Sometimes I'll use the tiny screen just to avoid the trouble of readying the TV. This is remarkable given my past distaste for handheld games.Read full review

The wii u gamepad is an essential part of the wii u console. Very few games work entirely without it, many REQUIRE it to play at all. The gamepad is durable and easy to use and its functionality is incredibly fun with its supported games. It is also infuriating that Nintendo does not support this very complex console any longer. They dont repair it or replace parts. The life expectancy of the rechargable cell in the game pad is short. Nintendo doesnt even offer these, and never did. 3rd party replacement batteries are available online but the manufacture of them is unregulated. You can buy 5 exact replicas and 5 "increased capacity" batteries from the same OR different sellers and its probable half will be dead on arrival, or shortly after. The gamepad itself is unfunctional without the wii u, and nearly essential for most games to play, therefore if you lose or manage to break it, replacement of this now defunct and limited piece is stupidly expensive. Just buying a new wii u is almost worth it. In closing, what an amazing concept and fun execution of a game peripheral. But the lack of nintendo support on something so complex is expensive and disappointing.Read full review
