    The covers tend to drift into cruise ship territory too often but given the extensive song library, eclectic choices and millions of options, Wii Karaoke U gets away with it.

    However, Wii Karaoke U perfectly fits Nintendo's audience - it's clean, it's accessible, and it promotes fun, above all else.

    Wii Karaoke U brings a comprehensive tracklist and plenty of options for you to enjoy, though the experience is way better if you've got a USB microphone.

    Wii Karaoke U is a classic karaoke game with a couple of interesting twists. The subscription model is pretty much the same of services such as Xbox LIVE Gold, and the huge track list is a good way to let every kind of player to enjoy the app.

    For parties with musical entertainment, Wii Karaoke U is a choice to consider. Its varied and enormous repertoire is sure to please any music fan and its control system makes a good use of the Wii U GamePad, which helps in overlooking a number of mistakes on the classification of the songs.

    The use of cover versions will instantly turn off most songbirds. [Christmas 2013, p.84]

    In collaboration without precedents in Europe between Nintendo and JOYSOUND, there is a fulfillment of the expectations set for a karaoke game. It does not bring anything new or include more game modes than other options available in the market. However, with over 1500 songs that can be transmitted, Karaoke Wii U delivers a resounding musical archive, but there is a cost for this, which results in the impossibility of recording these songs on the disc.

It has a vast song library with many choices for all people of all ages. The one major problem with this game is that is utilises cover versions of songs to actually sing over which takes away from the overall Karaoke experience. For a true Karaoke experience, go out to a pub or club get absolutely hammered and do your thing, but if not, this substitutes just fine.… Expand
