Design:
Though Wii U appears quite similar to the basic Wii, it has got a bit round shape this time. It is made to sit flat instead of upright, but user has still option of making his own choice. In our opinion, Wii U looks amazing when lying flat. On the front side of console, you can see sync, power and eject buttons, disc drive and flap that adequately cover SD card slot and two USB ports. On the back side there is power connector and we are surprise to see the HDMI port on Nintendo console for the first time. The device also offers two extra USB ports, AV port and sensor bar connector. So a user can use earlier cables if they want to and skip the option of having HDMI port.

The interface appears very similar to the previous console Wii and it is smooth to navigate as well. But you will get slightly frustrated while as the opening setting take a bit more time to load.
