The system will only play original wii games, not Wii U games. Something must be wrong with the Blue Ray player. Wii games have been tested and work.
I'm not including the Wii U gamepad which is pointless to use since the Wii U games don't work...basically you are getting an original Nintendo Wii, not a Wii U. The system uses two different reading mechanisms for the Wii and Wii U games (and again, the Wii U Blue Ray isn't working). Games and Wii remotes have been tested.
I did not test the battery recharging station. Two rechargeable batteries are included although they might be dead.
