The screen isn't multitouch sensitive so you can forget about pinch controls, and sometimes it takes a good firm prod to get it to read inputs. At 500g it's lighter than a standard iPad and the contoured base makes it very comfortable to hold, but it's much more chunky and plastic then a tablet – and of course, it can't operate independently of the Wii U, so you won't be taking it on the bus. #Funky barn wii u trailer Pc#It's a strange beast, though, operating somewhere between a tablet PC and a game controller. The controller comes with its own power cable, but the rechargeable battery will give you around 3-5 hours of untethered use. It's all really comfortable, well-sized and well-positioned, and the analogue buttons move smoothly – they can also be clicked down for an extra button input. #Funky barn wii u trailer tv#In addition, there are left and right bumper and trigger buttons on the front edge there's even a TV button which turns your GamePad into a universal remote control (after a little bit of reasonably painless calibration). The front array also includes two analogue sticks, a traditional d-pad, and the four usual A, B, X and Y buttons, as well as Start and Select. The star of the show, of course, is the GamePad, a tablet-style game controller, with its own 6.2in touch-sensitive widescreen display, speakers, microphone and front-facing camera. This is an unassuming, minimalist piece of kit, very much intended to be hidden from view amid your living room entertainment set-up – a good thing in the case of the Premium version, which is very susceptible to finger prints thanks to its glossy black styling. Unlike the Wii, the Wii U can't be placed vertically without a stand (which comes free with the Premium bundle, but is missing for Budget purchasers). There's also a port for a Wii motion sensor array, as well as four USB ports, two in the rear and two beneath a flap on the front of the console, which also houses the SD card slot. It offers an HDMI port (outputting in 1080p, 1080i and 720p) and an AV multiout, which can handle standard definition for ye olde worlde CRT televisions. The Wii U itself, is a sleek rectangular box, similar in dimensions to the Wii. Nintendo has lots more information on all the packages here.

The Basic bundle, retailing at around £250, comes with the console and a GamePad (both with their own power adaptors), as well as an HDMI cable and 8GB of flash memory. The Wii U will be available in three different bundle packages in the UK. The future of gaming, whatever it holds, may well begin here. ![]() Who will bet against them?įor now, here's our in-depth guide to the Wii U, covering everything from the machine itself to the GamePad controller and the launch titles. ![]() ![]() Nintendo wants to shift 5.5 million by the end of March 2013. And although not entirely problem-free, the US roll-out earlier this month saw 400,000 units snapped up within a week.
