We thought it was pretty nifty too!\n</p><p>In fact, the Nintendo Wii U is actually quite an amazing little device that has a lot of interesting features and capabilities!\n</p><h2>Nintendo Wii U Features\n</h2><p>First off, let\u2019s look at the best and most basic Nintendo Wii U feature: the controller.\n</p><p>That controller, the gamepad as it is referred to, is epic. It features the ability to work as a controller and an accenting screen for whatever game you\u2019re playing.\n</p><p>This is a bit difficult for gamers to wrap their heads around at first due to the dual screens.\n</p><p>Admittedly when you are generally used to just having to concentrate on the television screen when gaming, it can be easy to forget to look at the gamepad.\n</p><p>Fortunately, with some practice and a bit of patience and you\u2019ll come to really appreciate this unique feature that is not seen on any other device.\n</p><p>Another great feature about the gamepad is that it can also be used as a standalone device.\n</p><p>While the main console needs to be on, and you must be in range of it for it to work, the gamepad actually features the ability to play games solely on itself.\n</p><h2>The Wii U Gamepad\n</h2><p>There are several games available as stand-alones to be played on the gamepad.\n</p><p>Unfortunately, there is not a vast amount yet, but more are coming as people realize the truly great features of the Wii U!\n</p><p>This separate entity feature for the gamepad on the Wii U is actually one of it\u2019s better features.\n</p><p>While you cannot use the gamepad as a tablet replacement because it needs to be within the range of the main console, it does have a fairly decent reach.\n</p><p>Users have been in separate rooms of the house, more than twenty-five feet away from the main console, and have found that they can video chat, play games, and enjoy the extra little features built right into the gamepad itself.\n</p><p>This is especially handy when there\u2019s a show on the television that you, or someone else, simply \u201cmust-see\u201d.\n</p><p>All you need to do is make sure that your Wii U main console is on and then change the video source to whatever option you want while the gamepad is on!\n</p><p>The Nintendo Wii U gamepad is not only a controller, additional screen, and separate console, it also features the ability to control your television!\n</p><p>The gamepad is truly like the pocket multi-tool of the tech-verse with the ability to effectively work any device it\u2019s programmed with including TVs, home control systems, stereos, and more.\n</p><p>Just make sure you actually do keep the original remotes somewhere in case the batteries die or someone is busy playing a game on it!\n</p><h2>Wii U Games\n</h2><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-200628 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2015%5C/07%5C/wii-u-games.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"Wii' u games width='\"728\"' height='\"360\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/www.factstoryhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/wii-u-games.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Should you want to legitimately play games and not just fiddle around with the gamepad, you won\u2019t be disappointed.\n</p><p>The Nintendo Wii U is truly the holy grail for retro gamers.\n</p><p>You can get your nostalgia on with some old-school <em>Mario, <em><a title='\"Fun' facts about donkey kong href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/donkey-kong-facts%5C/%5C%22">Donkey Kong, or <em>Castlevania thanks to an updated system from <a title='\"Amazing' nintendo facts href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/amazing-nintendo-facts%5C/%5C%22">Nintendo enabling files to transfer over from older consoles.\n<p>This is a definite move in the right direction for gaming consoles as it seems that <a title='\"30' surprising facts about microsoft href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/microsoft-facts%5C/%5C%22">Microsoft and Sony are content in making everything from older generations impossible to play without giving them shed-loads of money.\n<p>Nintendo has never been one to really explore a multiplayer online option, or really go into the hardcore gaming series such as <em>Fable, <em>Elder Scrolls, or <em><a title='\"Call' of duty: ray gun facts href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/call-of-duty-ray-gun-facts%5C/%5C%22">Call of Duty;

Entertainment section you will see a plethora of options including <em>Sketchpad, <em>Animal Crossing, <em>Hulu, <em>Amazon Instant Prime, <em>Crunchyroll, and more.\n<p>Admittedly, it\u2019s no Google Play store featuring thousands of app options, but it\u2019s pretty darn good for a gaming console!\n</p><p>And, as the popularity of the <a title='\"What' you didn know about nintendo infographic href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/what-you-didnt-know-about-nintendo-infographic%5C/%5C%22">Nintendo app store grows, more and more developers will produce options available for the consoles!\n<p>After browsing through Nintendo&rsquo;s App store, you may have noticed the popular and beloved app, Skype isn&rsquo;t available.\n</p><p>Skype has been critical at allowing people to keep in touch with friends and family regardless of the distance between them.\n</p><p>After looking at the apps on the store, and noticing that the gamepad had a pretty decent camera on it (okay a really decent camera on it), you may have been surprised.\n</p><p>Fortunately, Nintendo has completely covered this option.\n</p><p>The incredibly high definition display on the gamepad is accented perfectly with its camera. Additionally, there is also a camera on the Wii U monitor itself, making it the best option for video chatting with friends and family.\n</p><p>You can use the Wii U gamepad as a solo chat option, or you can use it on the television.\n</p><p>Whatever method you use, you will also be delighted to know that you can draw and play games with the other person!\n</p><p>Because the gamepad has a drawing feature on the touchscreen display, you can write notes, play hangman, enjoy a stimulating game of Tic-Tac-Toe, and more.\n</p><p>The possibilities are endless with this fun and silly little feature, and it truly helps liven up conversations in a unique way!\n</p><h2>Downfalls to be aware of\n</h2><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-200626 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2015%5C/07%5C/wii-u-downfalls.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"Downfalls' to be aware of width='\"728\"' height='\"360\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/www.factstoryhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/wii-u-downfalls.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>So is the Wii U really all that and a bag of crackers? Well&hellip;no, it\u2019s truly not.\n</p><p>It is a great device featuring a really amazing gamepad, but it does have some flaws that you should know about.\n</p><p>One major flaw is that the gamepad lacks the ability to hold it\u2019s charge for very long.\n</p><p>If you were hoping to get a tablet that was as good as say, an iPad or an <a title='\"Facts' about android href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/android-facts%5C/%5C%22">Android tablet, then sorry but you\u2019ll have to keep looking because this is not a good alternative.\n<p>The gamepad holds it\u2019s charge for around three hours if you\u2019re playing it heavily.\n</p><p>This is very disappointing because spending an evening gaming with friends and family is going to be interrupted by cords, battery changes, and charging times for the gamepad!\n</p><p>Another fact about the Nintendo Wii U is that it lacks storage space, as it ships with just 8 or 32 GB of flash memory.\n</p><p>This is disappointing because games take up a lot of space, meaning that if you are relying on the built in options, then you\u2019re going to be left with space for few games.\n</p><p>Nintendo came under a lot of fire for their previous generation console having the same issue, however this time they\u2019ve left it up to the gamers to repair.\n</p><p>Instead of putting in a decent hard drive with ample space for a variety of games, the Wii U features four different USB 2.0 ports as well as an SD slot.\n</p><p>This alleviates some of the frustration gamers have as it allows them to hook up an external hard drive via one of the ports and ultimately have terabytes of storage options available to them.\n</p><p>For those who are setback and disappointed by some of the lacking games and features on the Wii U, then perhaps you may have seen opportunities when you heard of the four USB ports and SD slot.\n</p><p>For those who are not tech savvy, these slots open up a world of jailbreaking and hacking opportunities.\n</p><p>From questionably obtained games, to extensive movie playing options and more, hacking your Wii U will definitely open up the device for limitless possibilities!\n</p><h2>Remote Options\n</h2><p>Lastly, it appears the Wii U has more remote options than almost any console available currently.\n</p><p>Not only do you have the gamepad, but you also have the original handheld Wii remote with the accenting nunchuk.\n</p><p>It\u2019s annoying enough to essentially learn how to use the new gamepad let alone spend $40 or more on a Wii remote for games that require the nunchuk and remote use.\n</p><p>Despite it all, the Wii U is a big step in the right direction for Nintendo.\n</p><p>It features a lot of pretty impressive options including a media hub, a fantastic controller, and some great games which will really make you feel nostalgic.\n</p><p>Unfortunately there are a few flaws and setbacks.\n</p><p>The impressive lack of games and the inability for a charge are two exceptionally big flaws that make most avoid the Wii U.\n</p><p>Fortunately, more titles are being released on a monthly basis and you can make the most of your device with the video chatting features and the ability to hack it thanks to the extensive external storage features!\n</p><p>While the Wii U is not nearly as cool as the Xbox One or the PS4, it\u2019s definitely got it\u2019s own unique feel and some features that you simply cannot find on any other console!\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>The Wii U console by Nintendo was released in late 2012 and featured many classic games such as Mario &amp; Zelda.
