So when this console came out in November, I found it interesting that Nintendo would try to get such a jump on the competition. But, did this early release help or hurt Nintendo? First of all, WiiU is losing it's "new factor" in the gaming world. Now that the Ps4 and the newly announced Xbox One are now public, the WiiU is starting to feel less exciting. Most likely the WiiU will fail to compete hardware wise, but what else is new? The things Nintendo has been known for recently hasn't been it's console, but it's Platform titles and handheld devices. So I'd like to focus on the new features it brings to these great platforms.
The big new thing about the system is that it now shows a very vibrant HD. This maybe old news for Sony or Microsoft, but it is a welcome new feature for Nintendo. It's sleek design also brings it into the look of the new gaming generation.
But, the big new thing about this console is not the system itself. Nintendo has always been the only major gaming company that makes major changes to it's controller. Even though the controller is bigger it gets rid of one of the biggest problems in gaming, Screen peeking. Now that you have a screen to yourself, it contributes a lot to your multiplayer games. And it also could be used as a handy item screen or map screen. Who knew you could do all these things with an extra screen!
All in all this is a very good family oriented console. It is easy enough for anyone in the house to use!
