Wii Party U will offer something for everyone to play. House Party mode places the focus on the Wii U’s GamePad and couples its use with the Wii Remotes in unique, engaging and social ways.

Wii Party U will launch on October 25 this year only on the Wii U. The physical copy of Wii Party U includes a Wii Remote Plus controller and the new Horizontal Stand for the Wii U GamePad, which allows players to use the GamePad in a more balanced and comfortable fashion with GamePad-exclusive Tabletop games such as Tabletop Baseball.
