The Wii U was first released to the public on November 18th, 2012. Today marks 3 whole years since the console’s launch.

A lot has happened in those three years. While the system has had to endure a huge amount of flack from both the media and a good chunk of the gaming community, that hasn’t stopped it from acquiring a solid amount of amazing titles such as Zelda Wind Waker HD, Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2, The Wonderful 101, Splatoon, Super Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3 and so much more; not to mention the near 11 million units of the console that have been sold so far.

Later today, we’ll be posting a special article which highlights the system’s life from launch until now, so make sure to stay tuned!
