The editors didn't like

  • Vernieuwende hardware,  Backward compatible met de Wii,  GamePad Pro biedt veel nieuwe mogelijkheden,  Integratie met de 3DS,  Apps!,  Full HD

  • De Nintendo Wii U is redelijk vernieuwend door de Gamepad; een controller met aanraakscherm. Zo innovatief als zijn voorganger was, is de Wii U zeker niet: het spelen met beweging was echt nieuw. Zo'n megasucces als de Wii zal hij niet worden. De Wii...
