Squilliam on 26 October 2012
The Nintendo Wii was a rejigged NES with a similar controller and with similar accessories -> Gun/Balance board/controller, only this time the gun and controller were merged. The Wii U is attempting to follow the success of dual screen gaming on the DS/3DS.
The magic behind the Wii was that people were willing to pick up the controller and play with it and they had games which accommodated this. It is nearly impossible to get the older generation of people to pick up an Xbox 360 or PS3 controller but it is possible to do this with the Wii.
One idea behind the Wii U is to have a self teaching controller so that Nintendo can get over that initial hump with people by having the controller tell people how to use the controller.
Tease.
