Critics Consensus Special: The New Wii U

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the Wii U!
Overall Console:
CNET praised that it ambitious but it needed the time to grow as a console,Engadget said the console was good but there were very little apps and ReviewsOnTheRun's Scott C Jones said that the console was amazing but Nintendo threw too many things in their face. For example if you buy a Wii U you get a Wii U Pro Controller, A Gamepad, and a regular Wii U Controller. That's a lot. Overall wait for Christmas to get this when more games have been released but if you want to buy it buy it.
Nintendo Land:
The release of Nintendo land was pretty skeptical but reviews have been mostly positive. The lowest score was a 65 which is not horrid but the highest score was an 87 which is solid. It's not like you have a choice to get this game or not when you buy this console but, this will be fun for the whole family or friends or whatever. (Example's taken from IGN, Metacritic and EGM)
Super Mario Bros U.:
Super Mario Bros U is definitely the best game on the Wii U so far. Gamespot complained about it's lack of originality but pretty much every critic has been like "BUY THIS GAME NOW." "Cough Game Informer Cough."
Overall:
Get this system now if you really want it but you should probably get it for Christmas. Don't disagree with me this thing is sold out everywhere.
Products shown rated E.

Critics Consensus: Lincoln

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Lincoln a movie about Abraham Lincoln.
Steven Spielberg is at it again. This time with a biopic about Lincoln. Salon.com praised Sally Field's performance as Mary Lincoln,Boston Globe said it made politics exciting,and lastly Chicago Sun Times praised the film's attention to detail. However ReviewsOnTheRun's Scott C. Jones said it felt like five hours instead of one and was boring. If you want to see the movie get prepared.
So overall only see this movie if you want to.
Lincoln is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus: Epic Mickey 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the sequel to Epic Mickey, Epic Mickey 2.
In 2010 a game came out called Epic Mickey. It was released to mixed reviews but the average was like a 72 which is OK. They released a sequel today in case you knew which you probably did not know because it was released with no commercial production. Anyway this game sucks. Destructoid gave it a 2\10 saying that it was a horrid waste of time,SpazioGames complained about the games bad mechanics and IGN said it was to glitchy.
Overall only get this game if you really want to.
Epic Mickey 2 is rated E.
