The Wii U (pronounced "we you") is an upcoming eighth generation video game console created by Nintendo, and it will be the successor to the Wii. It will be Nintendo's sixth major home console, and the system is expected to be released in 2012. It was unveiled during Nintendo's press conference at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2011 on June 7, 2011. The console is the only home console in the eighth generation, despite the same generation having two handheld consoles in Nintendo 3DS and Sony's PS Vita. The Wii U is the first Nintendo console to produce 1080p high-definition graphics.

The Wii U's main innovation lies within its controller, the Wii U GamePad. It is also compatible with the exclusive Wii U Pro Controller, and previous Nintendo controllers, the Wii Remote, Nunchuck, Classic Controller and Wii Balance Board.
