jul 9, 2012 - Wii U
Description:
The Wii U was developed by Nintendo, but tried a different direction than that of the Wii. The Wii remotes could still be used with the Wii U and were needed for most games, however, the main controller was a large screen, almost like an IPad with thumbsticks and buttons on the sides and trigger buttons on the back, almost like someone had put 2 Wii remotes on the side of said IPad. The Wii U Pad was interesting because it allowed players to manipulate the environment in games like Super Mario Bros U, where when the player tapped the screen, it would create up to 4 boxes which the player could jump on to reach higher places and hidden secrets. One of the Wii U's main problems was it's fan base, some say it lacked 3rd party support and others say it was because of it's lack of high specs. However, the Wii U was known for having some great exclusives, such as Xenoblade Chronicles X which was highly accepted.
