Wii U: Nintendo Plans App Store for Wii U

Apps, apps, apps… Don’t you just love getting more, whether they are free or paid? It seems that lots of devices, whether they are phones, tablets or anything else, are getting more and more prepared for more apps. Nintendo is also planning to get into the apps bandwagon by setting up an app store for its Wii U. This store supposedly will offer all sorts of software and not just what is usually available for the Wii and the Nintendo 3DS.

The 3DS digital store already offers stuff like calculators with themes, alarm clocks and the like but the newly planned app store should be offer a whole lot more. This completely makes sense because the Wii U is designed not just for gaming. Its controller can be used in other things. We can now already imagine the wealth of applications that can be made available on the Wii U. The handheld will be more than just a portal towards a world of games but also a door to a whole lot more. Hopefully, however, Nintendo will manage to resist the temptation of completely going the other side and creating something that is already similar to that of a tablet. There are already a lot of tablets out there competing for the number one spot. The Wii U must be able to distinguish itself from all the other devices.

    Oh Yeah, That’s What I Wanted 2 Hear! What Apps Will It Have? Hm! Anyway I’m Glad Nintendo’s Fixing Their Mistakes, HD Is An Awsome Start But They Need 2 Upgrade The Friend Request System Cause Having 2 Go On The Internet 2 Track People Playing A Certain Online Multi-Player Is Not Easy, Compared 2 The 360 Where U Can Easily Send A Request In A Flash! I Don’t Like Trying 2 Track Down Codes Through The Internet, Its Ridiculous! If Nintendo Can Resolve That Issue Then Great! But Seriously Stop With All The Remakes Please, Create Something New Nintendo Instead Of Constantly Praising The Old Time After Time After Time!
