With a revolutionary new touch screen controller, precision motion controls, and full HD graphics, a whole new world of play styles and gaming possibilities is on the horizon.

A New Wii Console Experience

According to Nintendo President Satoru Iwata, "Wii U redefines the structure of home entertainment by fundamentally changing how the TV, the game console and the Internet function and interact together," he continues, "The experience enabled by Wii U and its new controller takes players deeper into their games, while reaching out wider than ever before to be inviting to all kinds of gamers."

Wii U combines motion-sensing gameplay with the ability to support full HD graphics. Each Wii U console will be paired with a new groundbreaking controller, with its 6.2-inch wide screen. Previously, video games played on a home consoles have been confined to the TV and offered identical viewpoints to each player in a multiplayer environment. The Wii U controller enhances that experience with different viewpoints available in-game and in differing games/game situations. Also, watching TV and playing console games have been completely separate experiences. The new controller removes these boundaries, creating a more dynamic and fluid gaming and entertainment experience. Examples of this new functionality include:

Within Single Player Games:
  • While in-game the new controller can display information on its screen that does not appear on the TV
  • The information and viewpoint can also change in the new controller based on the orientation of its gyroscope
Within Multiplayer Games:
  • The player using the new controller can have a different experience than those looking at the TV creating a wider variety of competitive and cooperative opportunities

The New Controller

In addition to its 6.2-inch screen, the new controller also features an accelerometer and a gyroscope, a rumble feature, an inward-facing camera, a microphone and speakers. Adding these features to the Classic Controller button scheme -- two analog Circle Pads, +Control Pad, A/B/X/Y buttons, L/R buttons and ZL/ZR buttons -- will enable a breadth of gameplay experiences while appealing to both casual and dedicated video game players. The Wii U system can also use up to four additional Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus controllers and is backward compatible to all Wii games and all Wii accessories. The Wii console has sold more than 86 million units globally and greatly expanded the overall audience for video games. Wii U aims to expand that audience even further.

The Wii U Release Software Lineup

Wii U will feature a wide variety of exciting first and third party games and software at the time of system launch. Just a few of those players can expect include:

  • New Super Mario Bros. Mii
  • Darksiders II
  • DiRT
  • Aliens Colonial Marines
  • Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online
  • Metro Last Light
  • Tekken
  • Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge (working title)
  • And Nintendo Mii-based software yet to be confirmed

Technical Specifications

  • Console Size - Approximately 1.8-inches tall, 6.8-inches wide and 10.5-inches long.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why isn't this more popular? 24 May 2013
By nkay101
Edition:32GB Black Premium Pack
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
Have had it 6 months now, and very happy with it...especially since the update from a few months back sped things up a lot.

Backwards compatibility on Wii games (a trick xbox one and PS4 can't manage) is great.
Battery life on the gamepad is good - 3 hours minimum, sometimes up to 5 by which time surely it's time for a rest anyway :)

Only downside for me so far is the amount of quality games out there.
If more 3rd parties got behind this console in the same way Ubisoft and TravellersTales have, then this would have a good chance of winning this generation console wars. It's not all about the graphics...

At the moment, the only killer games for me are Lego City (only this and ZombieU really show what the controller can do - but ZombieU is too hard for me:( ). Sonic Racing is a good filler while we wait for Mario Kart, and Black Ops 2 graphics are great and is fun, but it's a straight port that might as well not use the Gamepad. There's some potential gems on the horizon though... Nintendo also need to stretch themselves more with their games. Super Mario Bros WiiU is a lazy retread, and NintendoLand has only a couple of games in it that have repeat play appeal for me. Hopefully new Smash Bros and Mario Kart raise the bar. So, buy now before it starts going out of stock at the new cheaper prices, and by the time you're fed up with LegoCity, the summer rush of new games should be with us.

Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   
27/05/13 - The Wii U is not getting much play from me. I think it has lost it's novelty factor and I haven't played any games on it for some time. Yes, the big update happened, yes it is slightly faster, but content is still 'meh' and until the games I really want arrive, I have a sneaking suspicion this will be another unused appendage connected to my home cinema. I will edit this review again when the Wii U does something worthy of my attention.

Oh yeah, the virtual console launched... Same stuff I have on my Wii and no, I do not feel the need to pay twice for the games to be played on the gamepad.

Still stuck at 3*'s... Here's hoping that soon I will be able to praise it a bit more. The price drop has really annoyed me as well, but that's the price of being an early adopter.

Oh, and for people that don't read the dates in my review (as this has been a rolling review) please do read carefully and base it chronologically. I am not going to write up on rather unimpressive new content, especially as I hardly touch the console anymore. I don't have a reason to play it much lately. Hopefully some magic will happen over the summer and I will certainly be updating this review when the ethereal magic happens. However, if you have questions, please do ask.

Older stuff I wrote follows below:

I'm gonna be silly here but hope you get it:

Imagine or remember that 'hot' person you took home from the bar last night or a metaphor similar to that. You ask the 'metaphor/noun/person' through a bunch of mumbles if you should get married and have a family... The 'metaphor/noun/person' says "yes!". You wake up in the morning and see said ________ and ask 'who the heck is that???

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good system from Nintendo very pleased! 4 Dec 2012
Edition:32GB Black Premium Pack
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
After the slightly disappointing Wii that to be fair had some hidden gems that no doubt people will over look because their system was gathering dust, Nintendo has finally got the new way of gaming right.

Let me start by addressing some peoples concerns like the console not being as powerful as current systems that are out, well I can tell you now coming from years of technological experience first hand that this is simply not true, the system is more optimised and might be using a slower CPU than the PS3 and Xbox 360 but this is no ordinary CPU it's a GPGPU and that basically means it has power where it counts in a games console, in the graphics processing.

First gen titles are mealy ports from the PS3 and Xbox 360 once developers get to grips with the new hardware then we will start to see games zoom past the graphics quality of the PS3/Xbox 360, you think what halo 4 looks like on the Xbox 360, and considering that the Wii U is more powerful and features more GPU grunt and lots lots more memory then imagine what could be done on the Wii U.

The gamepad is much larger and lighter than even I expected and is complemented by the backwards compatibility of the Wiimotes, what is nice is the the gamepad doesn't require the use of the sensor bar only the wiimotes do, and syncing the controller is much easier than any of the previous consoles, it took only a few seconds to sync my gamepad and Wii U pro controller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoying this so much 1 Dec 2012
By AJK
Edition:32GB Black Premium Pack
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
We got ours Yesterday (30th November) and it has barely been off since. It is so amazing being able to continue playing a game in the comfort of your bed after finishing on the TV. ALso I can play Black Ops 2 online while my housemates watch a DVD or use the TV for some other purpose. The graphics are amazing...easily on a par with my XBox 360 (in fact a friend who plays a lot of Black Ops on his PS3 commented that the WiiU version looks far better). Playing 2 player Black Ops without the need for split screen is great. Its like having a system link, on one system, which is amazing. I was genuinely taken aback to see the WiiU running Black Ops, in full resolution, and at 60fps, on 2 screens simultaneously. This machine must be pretty powerful.

The game pad is not too heavy and even after prolonged play is very comfortable. ANd you can even use your old Wii controllers is you want to...most of the games I bought supported various control schemes in multiplayer.

The Eshop already has some very cool Indie games (I am loving the new version of Trine 2, with online multiplayer)

Also, not having to pay to play online (which I have to on my XBox 360) is great. If they keep releasing multiplayer games on the WiiU I will probably not update my XBox live subscription any more, and save myself £6 a month.

Nintendo Land is amazing too. Its the kind of game that all my friends can join in with, and I really cannot wait to have 5 player games when I throw my next party here...

All in all, you should definitely get yourself a WiiU. It is the best console I have ever owned (and I have been playing games since the NES back in the 80's).
