It has a 3-core IBM [[POS_(Pong_Consoles)_CPUs_and_Other_Chips#PPC_CPUs|PowerPC]] CPU at 1.24 GHz with 2 GBs of RAM and an AMD Radeon GPU. It is the first console by Nintendo to output to high-definition (HD) resolutions, such as 720p and 1080p. It includes a tablet-like controller, known as the [https[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_U_Gamepad Wii_U_GamePad|Wii U GamePad]], to provide certain additional gameplay. Notably, it can play all [[Wii emulators|Wii]] games, as well as supporting support the Wii Remote controllers for native Wii U games.

That said, the vWii mode (==[[Dolphin]] support for Wii games) can still be hacked U==You might have read about an unofficial branch of [[Dolphin]] with Wii U support — but don't get your hopes up. While the [[wikipedia:PowerPC|PowerPC]] architecture in the Wii U is the same way as the [[Wii can be - but that's irrelevant here since emulators|Wii]] and [[GameCube emulators|GameCube]] (this fact alone was the reason why Wii U part emulation was added to Dolphin. It was originally GameCube-only), this support is still not hacked nothing more than the file viewer features (exploits existregion, internal name, but they were never released - they could help in understanding the hardware thoughvarious info, list of files and folders inside ISO and a much needed preliminary part for emulator developmentway to extract them). Wii U Control Pad was hacked and can be used as a controller for various stuff, being expanded to Wii U disc images can be dumped. Nothing has been done on the actual emulation front as far as Dolphin is concerned, and the files inside viewed Dolphin developers have said that they are not interested in adding Wii U support to a small degreeDolphin.
