Nintendo Co.'s Wii U, the company’s first new home videogame machine in six years, will finally reach the hands of consumers on Sunday when the new console goes on sale in the U.S.
The three-year development process of the Wii U offers a glimpse into how the Japanese videogame manufacturer comes up with its new consoles.
Around 2009, the company’s top brass started looking into the idea of creating a game machine that offered a “second screen” controller. The managers saw it as a smart solution to overcome some of what it felt were the shortcomings of the Wii — mainly that the Wii was a secondary accessory to the television and not a primary device on its own.
