Furthermore, the Wii U is backwards compatible with all [[Nintendo Wii]] games. Upon launch, it was available in a standard white version, as well as a deluxe black version and was the only eight generation video game console to ship with an HDMI cable.

Every Wii U comes with a Gamepad that is essentially a controller with a built-in touch screen. It functions much like the lower screen of the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] handhelds. The Wii U does not support the use of more that one Gamepad.

Nintendo also released a more traditional controller, the Wii U Pro Controller. The Wii U Pro Controller does not have a screen and is supported by most Wii U games. In many games, multiple Pro Controllers can be used at the same time.
