I have had some issues with these controllers. What generally happens is that either the d pad or the joystick will make the the characters or selection box move wildly in one direction. For example, while selecting characters on mario kart, it will randomly start cycling through all of the characters and not let you actually pick one. And while playing donkey kong, I was swimming around and the characters suddenly started moving one direction and I could no longer control them. The fix for this is to separate the nun chuck from the wii mote and reattach after waiting a few seconds but this is a huge hassell to do in the middle of a race or boss fight. Otherwise, they seems to do okay for what they were made for.

My boyfriend got me this for christmas so I'm still fairly new to it. It has an entirely different interface from PS4 so I'm not used to it yet. It looks like you have to convert to the regular wii interface to use regular wii games which is kind of odd. They made the interface fuzzy/blurry in an attempt to make it "retro" but it really just hurts my eyes. I get off that menu as fast as possible and get right to the game. The gamepad, while novel, can never be turned off without turning off the wii U. But the gamepad is hard to hold and would be nice to be able to turn it off. You don't have to use the gamepad to play but it's always on when the wii U is on.

I jumped from the gamecube version to the wii U version (skipped the wii version) so I'm definitely still getting used to this version. The converter to use the gamecube controllers with this is ridiculously priced. But I love the game itself, especially with the addition of more pokemon. I adore charizard! Now if only they'd make a charizard amiibo... I also really like the gameboard addition that they added. Smash bros version of mario party? I'm in!

This game is set in my home town! It adds so much more to it, it really does. We've only just started to play it but the graphics are wonderful and the location is a great choice.

These movies play wonderfully. Great quality and the menu is easy to navigate! The only problem I found is only going to apply to some people. I like to keep my movies in a huge CD case that holds 500 disks. I alphabetize these disks and label the slots for easy location. Well, the first feival movie and balto are on one disk while the second fieval movie is on the second disk. Makes it a huge pain for sorting my movies. I feel that both fieval movies should have been on one disk and balto on the other. Otherwise, great movies, great price, great quality!

The game is excellent. However, while watching my boyfriend play it we've come to some conclusions. One is that the game is gorgeous but lacking in some explanations. We had to look up some things that weren't plot related. Just technical things that should have been made more obvious or explained. There's a serious lack of items in the game and the plot is lack luster and short. But the graphics are great and the details are beyond exceptional.
When the success of your next quest hangs in the balance, or only one more hairpin turn stands between you and first place. When the clock is running out and your team must defend that flag at all costs, or the next combo attack could either be your greatest or your last. When the on-screen action is intense, nothing matters more to the success of your game than the relationship you have with the controller in your hands. The DUALSHOCK family of controllers has always brought you innovative features and precise control. The DUALSHOCK 4 is no different and brings an exciting array of additional features that are designed to usher your gaming experience into the next generation. With these additions, the DUALSHOCK 4 Controller becomes an extension of your brain, turning every move of your fingers into an accurate performance in the game ~ and in your hands, accurate performance can only mean victory.How gamers use a controller is being redefined right before our very eyes as the next generation of consoles also redefines many other aspects of gaming. The DUALSHOCK 4 controller is equipped with a multitouch touch pad on the face of the controller, opening up a new world of gameplay. The integrated light bar generates a rainbow of colors and works with your favorite games to enable innovative gaming experiences. The DUALSHOCK 4's share button lets you upload screenshots and video of epic gaming moments or live-stream sessions with your pals ~ with the press of a button. Besides all of the new innovations, the DUALSHOCK 4 controller improves features from past controllers, such as the feel, shape and sensitivity of the dual analog sticks and trigger buttons for enhanced control and a built-in speaker and stereo headset jack for flexible audio options. The future of gaming is now, and the features of this controller live up to the hype.

These controllers are a little heavier than those for the PS3 but they are good quality. Their batteries don't really last a great amount of time.They need to be switched once a day with moderate gameplay/tv watching. The light is handy for knowing which player your controller is connected to (for those who don't know, the color changes based on which player you are). However, the light likely ruins the battery and doesn't need to be as big as it is. The rubber gripping on both of ours has a little nick and we're worried about the nicks being a starting point for the rubber to wear off. We'll be fixing them in the near future to make sure the nicks don't spread. The controllers are generally quite comfortable to hold and are functionally easy to use.
The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience. The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play. The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later. PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita. All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update. Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply. PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.

The PS4 has been doing pretty well! When we first got it, it didn't have a youtube app which was quite disappointing. However, after some time, the app appeared and we can now access youtube without having to turn on the PS3 instead. We've also noticed that the controllers don't last as long as we'd like them to. We usually have to switch them about once a day with average tv/gameplay use. But that's why we got a second controller. I definitely recommend having at least two so they can be switched off. Both DVDs and blu rays look great on the PS4 as well. I wish there was button consistency between a blu ray and playing netflix though. There are different button actions for both. The circle pauses for blu rays while the X pauses for netflix. We are very glad we got the PS4 and are looking forward to the new games for it.
