I have have this wius go on almost 2 year now and it still work great . I receive my wius even earlier than expect . I bring this gaming system for my 5 year old but the game seem a little to complicate for she to play on she own so I then bring she a nintendo ds . she have not play with the wius since . so if you be look for something that have more kid friendly game the NINTENDO d be definitely the way to go . she play it almost everday . its great for drive time or keep she busy at home . and they also have great educational game for young kid . but I will say that the wius have be great fun time with friend and family at home .
