Game Console] SCE "Playstation 4 First Limited Pack
SCE's new generation game console, the successor to PS3. I bought the console to play the action RPG "Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil Edition" as mentioned below. I thought that this one game would be enough for the time being, but the software lineup is so extensive that it is hard to believe that this is a first-year console, and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

PS4] "Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil Edition" ( PS4)

A "hack & slash" type action RPG in which players challenge automatically generated dungeons, obtain powerful equipment from enemies and treasure chests, and repeatedly challenge even more difficult dungeons. I bought it with PS4 to play the latest title in the best environment. It is a game where you just have to kill enemies and collect more powerful items, but you will be very happy when you get a rare item drop. It is a masterpiece that should be played by those who like challenging games such as the "Dynasty Warriors" series and the "Disgaea" series.

Wii U Ready-to-Play Mario Kart 8 Set kuro" by Nintendo
The Wii U GamePad, a controller with an LCD display, is a distinctive feature of Nintendo's game console. I had originally planned to purchase it when "Xenoblade Cross" was released, but when "Bayonetta 2," a sequel to one of my fave games "Bayonetta," was to be released for Wii U, I moved up my plans and purchased it. The Wii U GamePad, which allows me to play the game in my bedroom away from the TV or while lying down on the sofa, is unexpectedly comfortable and has become a favorite of mine. The Wii U GamePad is also equipped with high-quality games such as "Bayonetta 2," "Mario Kart 8," and "Wonderful 101," which were bundled with the Wii U. I am very satisfied with my purchase along with the PS4.

Wii U] "Bayonetta 2".
This is a sequel to the climactic action game "Bayonetta," in which you become Bayonetta, a sexy witch whose entire body is a weapon, and hunt down angels. It is a perfect action game for me, with a variety of actions that are fun just to move, breathtaking and overwhelming presentation, and groovy background music. The Wii U version of the previous "Bayonetta" is also included in the package, making it a perfect follow-up for those who are new to the series. This is a masterpiece that will make you glad you bought a Wii U.
