Decent monitor

I wound up returning this monitor. It worked, I am just a picky buyer.
I could not get the colors to match up to the current (higher end) monitor that I had. Perhaps my expectations were too high.

LEGO City — home to friendly citizens and colorful buildings, a place where humor and fun rule the day. That is, until one relentless criminal takes the neighborhood by storm, unleashing a crime wave that seems destined to doom all those who dwell there. Luckily, there is one last hope remaining for this noble town — you. Your name is Chase McCain, though you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who recognizes you. As an undercover detective, you invisibly drift through the crowds, one day as a firefighter, the next as a construction worker. But while you slide under the radar, you secretly keep all of LEGO City safe from ne'er-do-wells. Now, it looks like there's one more criminal to take care of — are you ready to go Undercover?Go incognito for an action-packed adventure in a fun, humorous world as the LEGOs take over your Nintendo Wii U for the first time in LEGO City: Undercover. Grab your GamePad and start combing the city for evidence, using your unique controller to receive mission updates and scan for hidden clues and criminals. Transform your controller into a real-time map that you can use to locate waypoints, then hop behind the wheel of more than 100 sports cars, motorcycles and aircraft and zoom into action. Ensure that no one knows who you really are by cloaking yourself in savvy disguises. Each false identity that you adopt gives you a set of special abilities that enable you to solve puzzles and even unlock new parts of the city. The LEGOs are building a new legacy on the Wii U — and the gaming world will never quite be the same.

Not sure how to rate this

Verified Purchase:Yes
The game is great. Unfortunately, I purchased a used copy and had it shipped (impossible to find in store), only to find out it was scratched badly,and wouldn't read at all.
I return that copy, and order another copy online. I receive it, notice it is less badly scratched than the first and hope for the best. I put the game in, play for under a minute, and I get another disk read error message.
So, I return that copy as well, and give up hope. I did, however, find a new copy at a different store. I purchased it, and the game is great. No complaints at all about that.

Fun game, but very weird

Not exactly your typical Zelda experience.
If you like Zelda games, you will like this. If you like weirdness, you will like this.
If you don't like them both in the same game, its not for you.

It's not always the biggest, brawniest guy that ends up winning. Captain Toad may be small and he may not be able to jump very high or run fast, but what he lacks in sheer strength and size he more than makes up for in intelligence and perception. Embark on a solo adventure as the brave Captain Toad in Captain Toad Treasure Tracker. Arrayed with only a neck scarf, backpack and oversize head lamp, you'll have to primarily rely on your resources of wit and perspective to make it through a dangerous world brimming with treacherous enemies, puzzles, traps and secrets. Are you ready to set off on a mind-bending adventure filled with hidden threats?Captain Toad Treasure Tracker plants you in a world comprised of a wide variety of tricky, enemy-infested, maze-like stages where your main prerogative is to survive while you find hidden items and eventually nab the elusive gold star at the end of each stage. Each stage is its own puzzle that must be solved — all while collecting hidden items that are littered throughout in hard-to-reach places, such as gems, coins and powerups. Unveil secret locations and get a closer look at secluded dangers by using your Wii U GamePad's gyro controls to peer around. Do you have the necessary smarts to survive a profusion of puzzles, a ton of traps, plenty of platforms and an abundance of attackers? Survive each stage's secrets and seize the stars in Captain Toad Treasure Tracker.

Great game, but little variation

If you enjoyed the Toad min levels in SM3D Land, by all means, get this game. The levels are fun, challenging, and original.
However, after awhile, I found the gameplay to be a bit tedious, and I kept wishing I could be Mario to jump around.

Works great for Raspberry Pi

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have gone through quite a few SD and Micro SD cards for my various Raspberry Pi projects, and this model is just as good as the most expensive models. This does not have wear leveling, but it still lasts about 6 times as long as any other major brand, and the price is almost the same. Data transfer rates are second to none.

This model replaced an older top of the line Samsung player. There are a few clues that it it not a high dollar model, but it performs better in every way. On the plus side, the remote has a button to light up all the buttons, which I like.

Get more speed for your computer with this SanDisk SSD Plus solid state drive, which features a secure SATA Revision 3.0 interface and sequential read speeds up to 520MB/sec. The shock-resistant construction protects the hard drive from damage.
 

Would this work on a gaming console, like a Wii U? If not, what do you recommend to improve the storage of my Wii U?

This will, BUT...you will need a usb docking station.
Option 2 is to buy an external enclosure that basically turns this into an external drive.
Either option will cost something in the 5-10$ range.
