The Wii U? GamePad controller removes the traditional barriers between you,

your games, and your TV by creating a second window into the video game

world. It incorporates a 6.2-inch, 16:9 aspect ratio LCD touch screen, as well as

traditional button controls and two analog sticks.

The GamePad also includes motion control, a front-facing camera, a microphone,

stereo speakers, rumble features, a sensor bar, a stylus, and support for Near

Field Communication (NFC). It is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery

and weighs approximately 1.1 pounds.

Every Wii U console comes packed with an array of applications to

enjoy the day you bring your system home, after a quick system

update. Interact with other Wii U players online, make video calls

from your TV, download full games from the comfort of your couch,

and much more.

Nearly all of your existing Wii games can be played in Wii Menu

mode, accessible any time. You can also transfer downloaded

WiiWare and Virtual Console games, and game save data from your

Wii console to your Wii U console.
