Wii U system update finally adds folders
An update that I feel is long overdue for the Wii U is now available. It adds the ability to create folders on the home screen, where you can store the games and apps downloaded to your system.

And at least the ...

I have to admit, I bought my Wii for two reasons. The first being for me and my kids to play the games and enjoy our time together. The second was to experience the interactive gaming experience and possibly lose a little weight and become a bit more healthy. When I first hooked it up and turned it on I tried out Wii Sports. It was amazing! I tried all of the events and found that after boxing...
