Wii U will start getting updates from day one.
IGN reported that if Miiverse, Wii U Chat, Nintendo TVii and eShop functionalities need to work, the console will need a system update soon after its launch.
Gameinformer reported that Wii U's first retail game arrived at the Game Informer office in Minneapolis on Nov. 6.
The game was a copy of Ubisoft's Rabbids Land. The package consists of a 4-page, black and white manual which has a note attached that says users can access in-game manual by pressing the HOME button and touching the eManual button on the Wii U Gamepad.
Wii U you will support Wii Remote. It will have GamePad with a six-inch touchscreen. Apart from this, the Pro Controller is sold separately and looks like a traditional video game controller, Japan Times reported.
Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo Game Designer spoke to IGN.
"Of course I've experienced a number of times how we as a company launch new hardware, and each time I have to confess I am more nervous than excited," Miyamoto said.
"So far, whenever we've launched a new hardware platform to the market, people tended to regard us as the competition," he added.
"They'd discuss how Nintendo would be able to compete with other companies by launching the new hardware. Within ourselves, we have never thought like that...But it was inevitable that people tended to see things that way. However this time around, I think we are in a better position to be able to forecast upon our messaging, and our messaging is that we are proposing new, unique opportunities."
