Nintendo Wii U Hardware: First Impressions

DailyGame: "The Nintendo Wii U marks the company’s first foray into HD gaming, an oft-overlooked aspect that has many ramifications. One of them is the overall form factor of the console itself and Wii U GamePad, which Nintendo paid close attention to at E3 2012. Form factor and industrial design doesn’t normally get the most coverage at a new console’s launch, because the software gets all the attention. We have many Wii U game reviews slated for the days and weeks ahead, but it seemed only appropriate to open our extended Wii U coverage with the one element that’s going to be consistent throughout the console’s lifecycle: the hardware itself."
