if there is no processor then how is input and output handled? and the conversion of sound, video etc to radio waves? |
There is (likely) an embedded digital controller that interfaces with the Blue-Tooth/Wifi components and converts the incoming data into visual/auditory/vibration output, and takes button-presses/touch-screen input and converts it to an outgoing signal to be interpreted by the Wii U system, but this would be a highly specialized processor and much simpler/less-expensive than the CPU that is currently in the Nintendo DS.
I haven't got a clue what controller Nintendo would be using, but almost a decade ago there were DSPs that could handle this that were being sold for a couple dollars a piece.
