Very good gaming console with some quarks

This is a very good game console. Nintendo does know how to build a solid package. The games are fun and the backwards compatibility with older games is second to none. PS4 and Xbox cannot hold a candle to the Wii U in this respect. There are issue though. The whole Mii solution thingy is a bit much. I turn on my console and my TV is inundated with Miis from god only knows where. What the am I supposed to do with these things?! Who cares? The tablet is pretty cool. I can play either on my TV or on the tablet. The only thing I don't like about the tablet is that the screen is always on even when you are using the TV. What a waste of battery life for games that don't use the tablet's features. Other than that the system is very solid and is a lot of fun.

This is a really fun game. If you are not familiar with Smash Bros then it will take some time to figure out all of the controls an the various fighting styles. However, once you've got the hang of this game it's fun.

Great controller

Posted by: ITJim

Verified Purchase:Yes
What can I say. I haven't seen a third party controller on the market. So all I can is that this is the best other controller that you can get for the Wii U. I do think it is pretty stupid that you have to have the tablet active to use any additional controller. For some reason it is a base station for the controllers. Go figure.

Players, start your engines. It's time to once again get on the racing circuit and compete against characters from the Mushroom Kingdom that you know and love. For the first time on the Nintendo Wii U console, you get to experience the racing action that has been a fan favorite for years, with a few added features to keep things interesting. So buckle up, push the pedal to the floor and get ready to turn this classic racing experience upside down.With new racing circuits, new gameplay features and a stunning new look, Mario Kart 8 certainly lives up to the legacy. The new anti-gravity feature will have you suddenly finding yourself racing on walls in a haunted mansion or upside-down over Princess Peach's castle — not to worry, the wheels on your kart will automatically rotate and shift into antigravity gear for an awesome racing element that allows mind-blowing new circuit designs. The previous games in the Mario Kart franchise introduced some amazing features, so they're back for more in Mario Kart 8. You can still see who's got what it takes in 12-player online competitive play. Hang gliders and motorbikes are back, as well as underwater racing and mid-air tricks, while Waluigi and Toadette rejoin the cast of characters. As the icing on the cake, the crisp, high-definition graphics and 60-frames-per-second frame rate of your Nintendo Wii U ensure a visually stunning and vibrant gameplay experience that you won't soon forget.

Awesome Game

This is an awesome game. It is not Mario Cart for the DS. It is so much batter. The only thing I don't like is that I have to use the Wii tablet controller. There just isn't any way around it. What a waste of electricity if I'm using the TV for play. However, if I don't want to use the TV then the tablet is pretty cool.

Had to return this TV
on November 13, 2014
Posted by: ITJim
from Maine
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this TV hoping to get an inexpensive 32" TV for my bedroom. Setup was easy enough. It was packaged well. And I really liked the remote that came with the TV. The keyboard on the back of the remote should be a standard for all Smart TVs. Trying to enter a password or anything else with a D-pad is such a stupid engineering decision that the folks how design TVs today should be ashamed of themselves for not including the integrated keyboard. The only thing that I hated about the TV is that it was defective. When I powered on the TV I kept getting a pinging sound from the system board. I really have no idea what made the sound. It doesn't really matter because I was uncomfortable with the noise. It was also annoying as all hell since it was constant and wouldn't go away no matter how I was using the TV. I ended up picking up a 32" Samsung open box that was three dollars more than this TV. I really miss the remote since the Samsung, for all it's features, stupidly didn't include the ability to use a keyboard for anything. I'll leave a review of the Samsung with that TV with that TV. Over all I would love to have loved the Vizio but just couldn't. Maybe you will have a different experience.

Set off on a thrilling 3D adventure that takes you to places the Pokémon franchise has never gone before. Pokémon X travels to the breathtaking land of Kalos, a star-shaped, enchanting region brimming with stunning forests, buzzing cities and many brand-new Pokémon. Gaze upon the wonder of the iconic tower in the center of Lumiose City, as you battle, catch and add to your Pokédex an array of new Pokémon that join the 640 you've already encountered. The Trainer is only as good as his Pokémon, so get ready to fight for glory with the powerful new creatures at your fingertips in Pokémon X.Meet Helioptile, a Normal- and Electric-type Pokémon who can generate powerful electricity from sun-bathing to power machinery. While it may display a lack of bravery, its robust Parabolic Charge move makes up for it when Helioptile attacks everything around it. Its HP is restored by half the damage taken by those hit for a significant addition to your Pokédex. Fletchling, a Normal- and Flying-type Pokémon, may take adversaries by surprise, since behind its beautiful chirp and friendly personality lies relentless battle attacks, such as Flame Charge. In addition to doing damage, Fletchling's speed increases every time it unleashes this move. Normally sporting a leaf in its mouth and an intimidating glare, Fighting-type Pokémon Pancham shows its softer side and lets out a smile when you pat its head. During battle, however, Pancham lets loose daunting moves, including Parting Shot, which not only lowers an opponent's Attack and Special Attack, but also allows Pancham to switch out for another Pokémon in a Trainer's party during battle. Discover a new method of transportation with Gogoat, a large Grass-type Pokémon who will gladly let you ride its back around Lumiose City. In battle, its Horn Leech move recovers HP equal to half the damage dealt by its move. With so much to explore and so many new Pokémon to acquire, you're sure to happily spend hours lost within the world of Pokémon X.

My daughter and I had a great time playing this game. Its a fun adventure game. The characters you defeat are happy to be beat. And when you are beat the characters are there to cheer you up and encourage you to keep trying. The story is a bit weak but then again this is a Pokémon game for kids.

Its a Comic book

Verified Purchase:Yes
I will admit that I haven't read this book yet. I have flipped through the pages and looked at the art work. So far the images are impressive. Not Marvel AAA title impressive but good enough. The cover looks great and the pencil drawings in the back are really good as well. For $2.99 with the purchase of the movie I can't really complain.

Popcorn Pleaser
on September 21, 2014
Posted by: ITJim

Verified Purchase:Yes
My over all impression of this film is that the director was trying to tell a human story with Godzilla and MUTOS as the backdrop. This is not a revenge story. There is a missed opportunity here to give the Human characters a visceral motivation to kill the MUTOS. However, I don't think that is what the story tellers wanted. They wanted to show nature at its most terrifying and how humans are no more than ants to her whims and fury. In this regard I think the movie works quite well. However, with that said, there are some key items I didn't like about this movie. The professor from Monarch seems to spend the movie in shock and only snaps out of his thoughts when another actor asks him a question. That bothered me. And the end of the movie "fighting against the clock" sequence didn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense. But it's Hollywood so just go with it. Over all I think we was a fun movie to watch. Not as fun as Pacific Rim but fun for a Godzilla movie. At the very least we didn't get the World Wrestling Federation version of Godzilla which took over the Godzilla franchise. When one of these monsters goes through a building you can't help but wonder what the human cost in lives the collapsing of the building charged us. That's not something I ever expected to get out of a Godzilla movie. To that end I think the human story worked. Again, I don't necessarily agree with all of the Hollywood logic and tropes in this film. Suspend your disbelief for a little while and just enjoy it.

Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies are off wandering through an enchanted forest when they discover a mysterious tent filled with a series of captivating paintings. As they look more closely, they notice each painting seems to tell the story of a mythical world. While focusing on a painting that shows a medieval land, they are suddenly sucked into the painting, entering the world, and the adventure begins. The gang must run, jump and fight their way through each world to save the day and discover the secrets of every legendary painting.

Almost a Great Film
on June 22, 2014
Posted by: ITJim
from Maine
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the most part this is a great movie. However, the first 30 minutes really drags on. The introduction of Radagash is an odd choice but he is a colorful character. The only other big issue I have with this movie is geography. We have a scene of orks in a forest and then cut to the dwarfs running across open ground in the hills. Then, magically, we are in a valley. I'm all for showing off the great New Zealand landscape but let's have some consistency. If the chase is indeed lasting 10s of miles then the musical queues of urgency are misleading at best. But if you take it for what it is then you'll enjoy this movie. The second one, however, is much better.

Game on the go with the Corsair Gaming K65 gaming keyboard. This keyboard lacks a number pad, making it more compact and leaving more room for your mouse to move. Its detachable, soft-touch wrist wrest limits wrist fatigue. The Corsair Gaming K65gaming keyboard has Cherry MX Red key switches for added responsiveness along with customizable backlighting and anti-ghosting keys.
 

What cherry switches come with it?
