Wii U to Have More Non-Game Apps

December 30, 2011 by Elizabeth DeLoria

While the Wii U is still a bit far off, we could actually be seeing quite a few non-game apps for the platform.

While the Wii U is still a bit far off, we could actually be seeing quite a few non-game apps for the platform.

The Daily reports that Nintendo will be implementing a full blown app store for the console. While most of Nintendo’s digital download stores tend to feature either games or basic applications, like calculators, the Wii U’s yet to be names store will reportedly go ‘far beyond’ that, offering a plethora of apps and goodies.

Apparently, those with a Wii U will be able to download apps that will work on the console, such as TV apps, as well as ones that will work locally on the Wii U’s controller. Taking the Wii U’s controller specs into account, we can probably expect lots of web browsing and social networking. It’s not yet known how payment will work, however.

While Nintendo may go with the same point system they’ve used with the Wii store, or if they’ll move to something a little more like the Apple store or Itunes.
