Good Nintendo’s history in the field of video gaming is legendary - this is a company which has shaped and defined the industry across four decades. Taking this into account, it was obvious that the Japanese veteran wasn’t going to push out a traditional console to supersede the Wii, and the Nintendo Wii U is possibly one of the most surreal, individual machines we’ve ever seen under our telly.It offe...
Bad Nintendo reinvented video gaming with the motion-controlled Wii, making gamers out of people who had previously never even picked up a joypad. However, despite the unique nature of the GamePad, the Nintendo Wii U is a much harder concept to sell to non-gamers - and that could prove to be a problem in the future. Because of limitations on the hardware, you can’t have four players using four GamePa...
Bottom line The Nintendo Wii U doesn’t have the same immediate impact that the Wii did all those years ago, so if you’re getting one for Christmas expect to do a lot of hand-holding if your granny wants to have a go. It’s not as intuitive as its predecessor, which...

Nintendo isn't afraid of different. It has thrown more crazy stuff at the wall—and gotten more of it to stick—than anyone. The Wii U is Nintendo's opinion of what's next.Note: We'd originally planned on focusing on a rundown of the Wii U's TVii features...
Good 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...
Bad 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...
Bottom line 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...

Bottom line The Wii U hasn't changed all that much since it launched, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The big innovation -- the system's tablet-like GamePad -- didn't set the world on fire the way that the Wii's motion controls did, but that didn't stop t...
