The '''Wii U''' is to be [[Nintendo]]'s seventh home console, set to be released November 18 for North America, November 30 for Europe and Australia, and December 8 of 2012 for Japan. The primary feature of the Wii U is the Wii U GamePad which features a 6.2" touchscreen, dual analog sticks, triggers, buttons and D-pad, a front facing camera, microphone, Near Field Communication capability, and a gyroscope and accelerometer. Titles featuring Off-TV Play can be displayed entirely on the Wii U GamePad Screen, allowing for the television to be used for something else while gaming. The screen can also be used to provide different views into the game's world and play using the touch feature, gyroscope and accelerometer. | The '''Wii U''' is to be [[Nintendo]]'s seventh home console, set to be released November 18 for North America, November 30 for Europe and Australia, and December 8 of 2012 for Japan.

The Wii U will be backwards compatible with [[Wii]] software and controllers, meaning Wii games such as the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' versions of [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']] and ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' can be played on the Wii U. [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] games and accessories will not be compatible, however, although there is a possibility GameCube titles will be made available with the Wii U's Virtual Console Service. | The Wii U will be backwards compatible with [[Wii]] software and controllers, meaning Wii games such as the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' versions of [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']] and ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' can be played on the Wii U.
