Well-designed, unobtrusive hardware, Excellent exclusive games, Cheaper than Xbox One and PS4, Strong indie and retro line-up
Few third-party titles, Future looks bleak
Even by Nintendo's standards, this is no ordinary run-of-the-mill console. The Wii U GamePad is a strange, brilliant and versatile controller, and employed properly might just power a new wave of fantastic, innovative games. As a vehicle for family fun, t...

Tactile, multi-use GamePad, Full HD graphics at last, Genuinely revolutionary
Weak GamePad battery life, No launch games for 2 GamePads, Need More Wii-U specific games
Ultimately, the Wii U is a potential-packed system that plays like a dream and at a decent, if not recession-proof, price. An obvious upgrade for Wii owners as it utilises a lot of the hardware you'll already have, it's the clear attempt to tempt hardcore...
The Wii U has a lot of potential, but do you need another (massive) controller sitting on your coffee table? I'm willing to give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt. But while it seems other consoles are going for smaller controllers - or no controller a...

The Wii U seems a worthy competitor for the next wave of consoles on offer by Nintendo's adversaries, and will be a perfect addition to the already successful Wii family. This console is worth looking forward to, and one worth spending hours on!...
Abstract: If innovation is the mother of all inventions, then 2012 surely had more than its fair share of gadgets that enthralled us. Here's a list of the best objects we saw this year....
Abstract: It provides no graphical leap, but the Wii U 's take on dual-screen gaming is a revelation, especially when gaming with friendsNintendo has stolen a march on Microsoft and Sony by launching the Wii U before the Xbox 720 and PS4 have even been announced. B...
In-person multiplayer is a huge amount of fun on the Wii U. It's not as immediately intuitive, and you'll have to give everyone a few more instructions, but it's still simple and creative enough for everyone to pick up quickly. It's also nice to be able t
It can be annoying playing games that aren't based around the Wii U's non-standard tech (a good and necessary thing!), but you're constantly compelled to use the touchscreen for stuff that could just as easily (or often more efficiently) on the main scree
Yes, if you know you want the next version of the Wii. While technologically, the Wii U sort of feels like the step youd take before you get to motion controls in the Wii, that doesnt mean it doesnt totally fit into Nintendos ethos of interaction. It...

Like most consoles at launch, Wii U is a mix of awesome new ideas and mediocre execution. This is Nintendo's first foray into HD, into true social offerings, into the dangerous business of internet communities, and for the most part it's been handled fair...
