Read More »Ten years ago today, Nintendo released the Wii U—an awkward but endearing console with a tablet-like game controller. Although it sold poorly compared to its smash-hit predecessor, Nintendo's quirky game system still holds a place in our hearts. It's a one-of-a-kind device that we may never see the likes of again. The Wii U launched in the US on November 18, 2012. It initially shipped in a "Basic Set" for $299.99 and a "Deluxe Edition" for $349.99 that came with a copy of NintendoLand (more on that later). The console shipped in black or white color schemes with 8GB or 32GB memory versions. It was Nintendo's first HD console. Compared to the Nintendo Wii's 101 million sales, the Wii U sold a mere 13.56 million units during its more than four-year lifespan (November 2012 to January 2017). And it moved far fewer units than the PlayStation 4 (100-plus million) and Xbox One (50 million). So many consider it a failure—but the "Big U" still kept a diehard following that endures. The Wii U was never an easy elevator pitch: Imagine a home game console that has a main controller that is also a touchscreen, similar to a smaller, thicker, lower-resolution iPad. It's like a tablet, but it isn't—you still need a base console. And this tablet controller? You can only use one of them. But maybe two, eventually (although that never came to pass). Sometimes you use this controller screen as your main gaming display, sometimes you don't. Beyond that, games can utilize up to five or more different types of control schemes, including Wii Remotes and a stylus on a touchscreen. Oh, and it's a Wii in name, but it's also an entirely new console—although it looks a lot like the last model and can use the same accessories and play Wii games. The Wii U was an identity crisis in a box. But despite the confusion, the Wii U also allowed unique and enjoyable gaming experiences to emerge, even if they weren't appreciated by a mainstream audience. We're going to cover some of those notable quirks and features below.

Read More »Released in a world of iPads and iPhones, the Wii U gave the impression that Nintendo may have wanted to make a tablet console but wasn't quite ready to put it all into one device. So the Wii U ended up as a strange hybrid—a tablet-like console that also needed a base station to work properly. Although, in reality, development doesn't seem to have proceeded that way. In service of its tablet controller, the console has the miraculous ability to wirelessly stream video from the console, up to 30 feet away, with very little lag. That felt like a technological marvel at the time. It allowed one of the Wii U's most exciting features: Off TV Play, where you could just play a game on the GamePad without needing to use a TV set.
