Wii U

The Wii U Is a Home Video Game console released by Nintendo in 2012

## History

Riding high on the Sucsess of the Wii, Nintendo Started development on their Next console in Late 2009 with the Codename "Project Cafe" as it was made to appeal to many tastes. The Wii U came out in Late 2012, But it failed to catch on. Possibly due to Low Third Party Support and people being mislead by the name, Thinking that it's an accessory for the Wii. The then Nintendo President, Satoru Iwata, Took the blame and dealt with the Losses caused by the Console's low sales professionally, Reducing his Salary and Not having an E3 Expo in 2014, Iwata passed away in 2015, Which is during this console's lifespan.

The Wii U's Signiture Feature is the Gamepad, a Controller with a Touch Screen, Gyroscope, FaceCam, An NFC Touchpoint and Microphone. The Touchscreen allowed players to play most games while the TV is off.

The Wii U Ended production in Early 2017 for Nintendo to focus on the Switch. To make up for the Lack of Sales, Several First Party Wii U Games Including Mariokart 8, Pokken Tournament, Captian Toad Treasure Tracker, Super Mario 3D World and New Super Mario Bros U Had extended ports on the Nintendo Switch.

Much like Most newer Consoles, The Wii U had vast online Support, Including Miiverse, An internal Social media platform where people can share monochrome fanart, brag about wins and give people gameplay tips. Wii U Chat which allowed two people with a Registered freind code to do a Zoom meeting. Online Play and a Digital Storefront. (Miiverse and Wii U Chat were Discontinued in 2017, The Eshop closed in 2023 and The Online play is planned to end in April 2024)
