Consoles

Do you have siblings or roommates that always hog the TV? The Nintendo Wii U features a gamepad with an integrated touchscreen display so you can play some of your favourite games without a TV.

Handheld Consoles

Unlike other handhelds, the Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL use stereoscopic technologies to create depth perception so you can enjoy a 3D gaming experience without having to wear special glasses.

What are the differences between Nintendo Wii and 3DS systems?

The Nintendo Wii and Wii U are home consoles which means they need to be plugged in to work and are usually hooked up to a TV or monitor. Nintendo 3DS systems are handheld consoles. Boasting a compact size, 3DS consoles are extremely portable so you can play games outside of the home.
