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
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: 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...

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...
We have only had hand-on time with the Switch so this is an early first-impressions verdict. We think the Switch is an enticing piece of hardware with its many different ways of playing, improving vastly on the Wii U. Zelda might be enough for many to upg...

The Wii U may not have the same 'wow' factor as the original Wii, but it still represents a matured take on home consoles that we haven't seen from Nintendo before, both in its approach to online gaming and its hardware design. It's the perfect blend of a...
