Good design sparse offerings
on June 17, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
Note; this review is strictly of the console as boxed in this bundle and freely available software, not considering other games.
As a console there's some inspired design here, particularly in the interface. The controller is a great blend of multiple technologies into one very operational package. I understand the continuing shift from the processing power rat race, but the console still suffers long lag times between functions, the type just long enough to irritate but not long enough to actually do something else.
The software is pretty sparse, however. What is present is well designed, but there's not much, even when digging through the app offerings on the online store. That was surprising to me, I expected more quirky designs instead of essentially media services and not much else. The streetpass apps are interesting but ultimately just little tours that are quickly done and not interesting to repeat.
As for the included games, Super Mario is hard to mess up at this point, and this iteration doesn't disappoint, but it's also not very unexpected. Nintendolands has a few minigames that are fun, but don't have much substance. I think I would have preferred getting another bundle with a different set of games.
In the end, it comes down to that controller, and it's capabilities. On that, it earns a solid passing grade, and I look forward to getting more games to use it on.

It worked, dust is annoying

The card worked and the code worked as intended, though the scratcher dust is annoying. 4/5 for that, I guess.

Brilliant color and high-quality details add to watching enjoyment with this Sony Blu-ray disk player.
 

when playing DVDs on her vizio smart tv the image gets skewed. Like just a bit... I can't tell what aspect ratio it should be for the DVD. It's showing in 16:9. The TV remote changes nothings and i cant tell what i should do on thr blu-ray one.

Image quality is solely governed by the TV, so there won't be any controls for it on the remote for the bluray player; I would suggest swapping HMI cables and seeing if that clears the issue, then rechecking the tv remote one more time. For the DVD itself, it's either 4:3 or 16:9 and should say which it is on the case. It could be 4:3 upscaled to 16:9, which sometimes produces distortion noticeable on an HD screen.

I have a Desktop with Win. 7 & 16GB Ram, (4) 2 TB HDs (Drives C, D, H & J) with this External HD, is there a way to partition it so I can copy all drives over to this one drive. Then transfer the programs I use over to a New Desktop with Win. 10?

Sure. To make partitions you just need a partition program, and there are plenty of free and paid programs available if you search online. It's been about 3 years since the last time I used one, so I don't feel informed enough to make a suggestion, but there are guides and lists that explain the pros and cons of many partition programs.

However, for the purposes of transferring to a new computer you should check Microsoft's guide for doing so. Some of your drives probably don't have program referenced files, so you can move their contents however you want, but programs and their files may need to be reinstalled if drive letters (and therefore file addresses) change.

Can I plug it directly into my router to create a storage cloud?

That would likely depend more on your router than the hard drive.
