 +Nintendo's entry into the HD era. Releasing on November 18th, 2012 in North America, the Wii U's PowerPC-based Espresso CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and AMD Radeon "Latte" GPU outputting up to 1080p (with an 854x480 screen on the GamePad) wasn't particularly capable, compared to the Wii U's competitors. This, of course, was not all, as poor marketing and a less-than-ideal launch lineup resulted in the Wii U being one of Nintendo's biggest sales flops, with it selling only 13.56 million units. Despite this, the system has been fondly remembered as a unique experiment in Nintendo's system history, namely due to the system's "flair" and unique utilization of the GamePad exhibited in some titles.

 One of the two versions available at launch. At the time, this came with less additional peripherals, whist being colored in white and having only 8GB internal storage. A few minor reports also seem to imply that these may have NAND corruption issues, but it seems unsubstantiated. Otherwise, all is identical to the Deluxe. One of the two versions available at launch.

 The other version available at launch, coming in black with more peripherals and 32 GB internal storage. They also sold more, making it easier to find one. Thus, it is a bit of a simple decision to go for this one, as the price differential to the Basic is quite minor... The other version available at launch, coming in black with more peripherals and 32 GB internal storage.
