The Wii U[nb 1] is a home gaming console developed by Nintendo and is the successor to the Wii. The console's main selling point is the Wii U GamePad, which not only allowed for dual screen support, but allowed players to play off the TV. The console also featured a NFC port for amiibo support for a select number of games, including Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival.
One spin-off Animal Crossing game was released on the Wii U: Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival. Additionally, a free social application, Animal Crossing Plaza, was released, Animal Crossing: Wild World was re-released on the Virtual Console, and Animal Crossing crossover content is featured in Nintendo Land and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
The Wii U was one of Nintendo's least successful consoles, only selling around 13.56 million units[2]. It was discontinued in January 2017,[1], but much of Wii U's original concept would form the basis for the Nintendo Switch.
