A GAMERS GUIDE
they always have a lot of charged batteries or
not. Something better about the Gamepad is, of
course, it’s touch screen. The PS4 just released
it’s new controller with a sensor bar, but
obviously a screen would be better. The Wii
remote doesn’t have a sensor bar or a screen.
Another thing people notice about the Wii
remote is that it has no joystick. This is solved
with a nunchuck, but the gamepad already has
joysticks. Keep reading for more Wii U gamepad

Most of the time when a company releases a
new console, it focuses a lot on the controller.
The Wii U Gamepad has a touchscreen, about
the size of a small tablet. The Gamepad can be
turned on and even played with without TV
connection. This only works if the gamepad is
connected with the actual console.
The gamepad can also be used to turn the tv on
and off, change the channel, and turn the
volume. This helps if you can’t find a remote for
your tv or if the remote runs out of battery.
The Wii U may look simple, but it’s complicated
and takes a while to set up.
If you had a Wii, then bought a Wii U,it would
take a long time to bring all your saved progress
to your new Wii U. But after you do set up your
account, Wii U has a world chat, a in-system app
store, and a lot more. The Wii U is also good for
young kids and family. A Best Buy employee says,
“Xbox One and PS4 are targeted for an older
audience but the Wii U is not”. This is because
most violent games are not on the Wii U.
The store for the Wii U has a lot of apps,
including YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon.
But if you spend a lot of time browsing on the
store, you will notice there is no Skype. That
problem is solved because you can call other
people that have Wii Us.
Now that you know about the The Wii U, it’s
time to learn about the other consoles.
