<theme> <variables> <systemName>Wii U</systemName> <systemDescription>The Wii U (WEE YOO) is a home video game console developed by Nintendo as the successor to the Wii. Released in late 2012, it is the first eighth-generation video game console and competed with Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PlayStation 4. The Wii U is the first Nintendo console to support HD graphics. The system's primary controller is the Wii U GamePad, which features an embedded touchscreen, directional buttons, analog sticks, and action buttons. The screen can be used either as a supplement to the main display or in supported games to play the game directly on the GamePad. The Wii U Pro Controller can be used in its place as a more traditional alternative. The Wii U is backward compatible with all Wii software and accessories. Games can support any combination of the GamePad, Wii Remote, Nunchuk, Balance Board, or Nintendo's Classic Controller or Wii U Pro Controller. Online functionality centers around the Nintendo Network platform and Miiverse, an integrated social networking service which allows users to share content in game-specific communities.</systemDescription> <systemManufacturer>Nintendo</systemManufacturer> <systemReleaseYear>2012</systemReleaseYear> <systemReleaseDate>2012-11-18</systemReleaseDate> <systemReleaseDateFormated>November 18, 2012</systemReleaseDateFormated> <systemHardwareType>Console</systemHardwareType> <systemCoverSize>243-340</systemCoverSize> <systemColor>58AED1</systemColor> <systemColorPalette1>1F9EBB</systemColorPalette1> <systemColorPalette2>3783BC</systemColorPalette2> <systemColorPalette3>DDDCDC</systemColorPalette3> <systemColorPalette4>9D8354</systemColorPalette4> </variables> <language name="sv_SE"> <variables> <systemHardwareType>Konsol</systemHardwareType> </variables> </language> </theme>
