Wii U GamePad Virtual Tour

[icedcapplord]

I remember my Dad looking at this, and deciding not to get me it because he thought it was a portable version of the Wii.

"When Dad wants to watch that baseball game on Wii U..." yeah they were definitely marketing towards a different demographic back then

[papermariorider]

I don't even own a Wii U, and yet I still get nostalgia from watching this.

This console has to be the most underrated consoles ever. This console was a great emulator for past games, had great graphics ( since some people only look at graphics first), has some amazing First Party Games, and was really creative. Too bad it sold poorly this console had some more potential but at least the Switch has extremely helped Nintendo through the WiiU's rough years.

"Headphone Jack"
They took a stab at Apple 4 years early without even realizing it lol

This tour is misleading, it needs more fingerprints.

[icedcapplord]

And to think the Switch has already been announced....

[worldofgaming]

Interestingly enough, the Gamepad is really comfortable in the hands. I think that Nintendo pretty much made sure that you could actually hold the thing.

[DominickRT]

THIS is what a Nintendo commercial should look like. This makes me want to go out and buy a WiiU! Great presentation.

FROM THE WII TO THE U TO THE SWITCH TO THE 2🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

[siervodedios]

I love the GamePad, I love the Wii U, and I will love the Switch like the Wii U

[JoCoBrony]

Hey, anyone else remember that "Accessory Connector" they mentioned at 2:46?


Me neither.

[SamuelMK_]

Ah. I miss 2012. I remember when I told my friend, "Everytime I watch 3DS XL or Wii U videos, I feel like it's the future." I wish 2012 was back.

[hudsondito]

This controller is a lot cleaner than mine at home!

If anyone’s wondering, the background music is called "A Different View” by Art Phillips.

[Peteboi]

Here lies not a failiure, but a treasure, never used to it's full potential because of marketing. Rest in peace Wii U.

[_YouKnow-THATdude]

The fact that this is was 10 years ago makes me feel old

'The built in camera and microphone will not only be used for interesting software applications but will also allow you to engage in and voice and video chats with friends'
2:46
'The accessory connector allows new accessories that will be introduced by Nintendo and third parties to work with the gamepad'

2:55
'ᵀʰᵉʳᵉ ᵃʳᵉ ˢᵗᵉʳᵉᵒ ˢᵖᵉᵃᵏᵉʳˢ'

[Eor]

This will always be my number 1 console in my heart, yea I got the switch and wii but the Wii U was the first ever console I ever had back in kindergarten, I still got the wii u and still play it.

[R.J.Crimson]

To me, I don't think the Wii u gamepad is a gimmick. Plus, the Wii u is the most underrated console of this generation.
