On a side note... is the Wii U capable of playing standard DVD moviess (I know it's not compatible with Blu-Ray), or did Nintendo leave that function out yet again? |
The Wii U doesn't play any disc media apart from their own proprietary game discs. DVD and Blu Ray compatibility were a big deal this gen and last, but with things going increasingly digital, I think it's pretty irrelevant. Services like Netflix, DVR, Hulu, On Demand, and so on are going to render DVDs and Blu Rays pretty much obsolete in the next 10 years -- and TVii encompasses all of that.
Odds are if you have some DVDs you'd like to play, you already have a DVD player, anyway.
