The Nintendo Wii U is an eighth generation video game console designed and marketed by Nintendo Co. Ltd released in November in North America, and PAL regions, and released in December in Japan. The console was made to be a successor to popular Nintendo Wii which had sold 101 million units, however thanks to poor marketing, a confusing name which lead consumers to believe it was a new controller for the Wii, and poor third party support the Wii U was left in the dust by Sony's PS4, and even Microsofts poorly marketed Xbox one. By the end of its lifespan the Wii U had only sold 13 million units globally, and was considered a commercial flop by Nintendo. Former President of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime stated that despite its poor sales the Wii U would be remembered fondly by fans like the similarly poor performing Nintendo Gamecube, and he considered it a necessary step for the success of Nintendo's next major console, the Nintendo Switch.
"The Nintendo Wii U introduced an all new Gamepad controller with a touchscreen, and motion controls which allowed for asymmetrical multiplayer."

people who blabber the most useless words and get mad at the tinniest mistakes or some that NO ONE CARED ABOUT, the DUM fans will constantly say ok but what about game name its the most stupid argument because im pretty sure people forgot about MAMIO KART 9 2 YEARS AFTER MAMIO KART 8 DELUXE CAME OUT, BECUSE IM SURE I DID. they will never be sastfied with what Nintendo brings out, EVEN if its what they asked for years, ex Splatoon 3, finally gets announced, (realease date is 2022 i honestly think we would be better off not knowing, PS: i meant to spell these wrong) yet they say ItS TrAsH aNd ShOuLd Go To VeDiO GaME HeCk, sometime their grammar sucks or give awful reasons for why they are mad, and if they are proven wrong they will make the most dum comebacks usually saying YoR JUest6etetted CRTEYIUOPEOIUHUFYEUIDJKLFK and much more, and do you know what? sometimes people AGREE WITH THEM, PEOPLE THAT HAVE A WORKING BRAIN! the only reason why they are so mad is because they are hung over something that happened half a year ago by the time of posting this, Nintendo live stream of a Splatoon 2 (i got mixed up on the game the tournament was focused on, so its Splatoon not melee) tournament being cancelled because of people saying save melee(still getting an stream from themselves) in my opinion its stupid, since they still made one themselves, almost destroying the entire point of why Nintendo canceled it in the first place, almost, it still a fact that they canceled the live stream
