    Wii Party U is a surprisingly good party game that shows how quality and quantity can coexist in this genre.

    Wii Party U is a very fun party game, but the mini-game options aren't as attractive as in the original and Mario Party 9.

    With over 80 minigames you get a lot of content. Unfortunately most of the games are short and simple.

    Despite not being able to revamp itself, Wii Party U remains a decent party game for a great evenings among friends and relatives. Its aggressive pricing makes it even more attractive.

    Wii Party U is far from a masterpiece, but you can be sure you'll have fun with it. It's not perfect, some games are boring, there is several problems with balance and with motion recognition, but it should help you to wait till the release of an all-new Mario Party.

    Still, despite lacking depth, visual flair, or the characters of a Mario Party game, Wii Party U is a strong enough party game for Nintendo to offer families on the Wii U thanks to one thing: the mini-games provide hours of fun.

    Meaningless microgames water down the package considerably. Instead of 80 plus games, many of which don't use the GamePad at all, Wii Party U would have been better served focused on what makes Nintendo's new home console unique. Of course, that kind of creative decision would have gone against what the real goal of Wii Party U is: to sell more Wii Remotes.

    A terrible game that has absolutely no content worthy of holding even a 2 year olds attention.
