The '''Nintendo Wii U''' is the sixth home video game console made by [[Nintendo]] to be released internationally. It is Nintendo's first console to feature high definition graphics outputting at 1080p. | The '''Nintendo Wii U''' is the sixth home video game console made by [[Nintendo]] to be released internationally. It is Nintendo's first console to feature high definition graphics outputting at 1080p. Its most prominent feature is the Gamepad, a controller with a screen. Furthermore, the Wii U is backwards compatible with all [[Nintendo Wii]] games. Upon launch, it was available in a standard white version, as well as a deluxe black version and was the only eight generation video game console to ship with an HDMI cable. | ||
==Controllers== | |||
Every Wii U comes with a Gamepad that is essentially a controller with a built-in touch screen. It functions much like the lower screen of the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] handhelds. The Wii U does not support the use of more that one Gamepad. | |||
Nintendo also released a more traditional controller, the Wii U Pro Controller. The Wii U Pro Controller does not have a screen and is supported by most Wii U games. In many games, multiple Pro Controllers can be used at the same time. | |||
Furthermore, some Wii U games support the use of Wii Remotes, which can be used with or without a Nunchuck or Classic Controller, depending on the game. | |||
==Backwards compatibility== | |||
The Wii U is backwards compatible with all [[Nintendo Wii]] games and is able to emulate a Wii itself, thus allowing access to all Wii Virtual Console and ''WiiWare'' titles. However, playing Wii games requires the use of a Wii Remote, which is not included in the Wii U package. | |||
Wii Virtual Console games can only be accessed using the Wii Menu. For games that are also available on the Wii U Virtual Console (such as ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''), the Wii version can be transferred to the Wii U menu for a fee. | |||
