The console is capable of {{S|wikipedia|1080p}} graphics, but its main distinguishing feature is its controller: the [[Wii U GamePad]]. It features a 6-inch touchscreen capable of streaming gameplay seen on the TV screen, serving an original purpose to the intended game, or playing the whole game altogether. The controller also features a camera. The Wii U is backwards-compatible with the Wii, supporting up to four [[Wii Remote]]s and all such accessories. A more traditional controller called the [[Wii U Pro Controller]] is also available. The Wii U is not compatible with [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] games by official means. However, an official adapter was made to connect [[Nintendo GameCube controller]]s to a Wii U. The Nintendo GameCube adapter works exclusively with {{Forwiiu}}. | The console is capable of {{S|wikipedia|1080p}} graphics, but its main distinguishing feature is its controller: the [[Wii U GamePad]].
