The '''{{wp|Wii U}}''' is an eighth-generation home video game console produced by [[Nintendo]] as the successor to the [[Wii]]. It is Nintendo's first home console since the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] to share a portion of its name with its predecessor. During development, the console was codenamed "Project Café." It was announced during Nintendo's conference at {{wp|E3 2011}}. The main feature of the Wii U is its controller, the [[#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]], which has a touch screen, a camera, a microphone, and other features. According to [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]], the Wii U was never shown to Nintendo's software development team prior to its unveiling at E3 2011. With the name "Wii" originating from the word "we," the "U" ("you") was added to reflect the console's intended appeal to single-player play as well as multiplayer. It is the home console counterpart of the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. | The '''{{wp|Wii U}}''' is an eighth-generation home video game console produced by [[Nintendo]] as the successor to the [[Wii]].
