Wii U

The Wii U (ウィー・ユー, Wī Yū), also known by its codename Project Café, is a discontinued gaming console developed by Nintendo. It is a successor to the Wii and has a similar appearance and color scheme. The Wii U is part of the eighth generation of consoles, though still competed alongside the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, which are seventh generation consoles. The systems main focus is different styles of playing. The controller has a 6 inch touch screen in the center, along with an analog stick on each side, a control pad, and the A, B, X, and Y buttons found on the Nintendo DS. There are also ZL, ZR, L, and R buttons. A microphone, speakers, and an inward-facing camera are also on the controller.

The Wii U was first thought of in 2008. After discovering a lack of interest for hard-core gamers for the Wii, Nintendo started to work on a system that would appeal to both them and the casual gaming audiences.

On October 20, 2016, the successor to the Wii U was announced, the Nintendo Switch. It is Nintendo's ninth-generation console, and is a hybrid between portable and home systems, with a detachable tablet-like controller. The Switch was released worldwide on March 3, 2017.

The Wii U can also be found in new leaf, pressing A near it will make the Wii U ask the player to play Desert Island Escape.
