Episode 24: The Wii U cometh!

     The Wii U cometh, and verily it mayest become the most important device in thine living room, second only to the TV! What am I talking about? I'm guessing that most people that follow gadget and video game websites know almost everything I'm going to say here, so they probably won't click on this particular article on my blog anyway. This article isn't for those that visit Engadget and IGN every other day. It's for those that saw the title of the article and thought "what?!?" so I'm going to write this article with the assumption that my reader has absolutely no clue what a Wii is, talk less of what the Wii U is.

               What is the Wii U?
          The Wii U is Nintendo's latest game console and is the successor to their Nintendo Wii. It is the first 8th generation game console (the Wii, PS3 and Xbox360 are all 7th generation consoles). Much more than just gaming, it offers the most complete infotainment choices from a single non-mobile device since the desktop computer, and is better suited to the living room than your PC is. The Wii U's unique feature is it's Gamepad, which has a capacitive touchscreen built in, making the Gamepad look like a tablet with the usual buttons and analog sticks expected on a video game controller. In this article, I will focus mainly on the non-gaming features of the Wii U to show you why I believe that more than just being a game console that is booted only for gaming, this may soon become as common in most living rooms as the TV already is.
