Wii U Internet Browser Specs

• 

• Wii U comes with a browser that lets you browse the Internet from the comfort of your couch. No need to interrupt your favorite show—browse purely on the GamePad while your program continues on the TV. You can also pause a game, launch the browser to search for tips on the game you're playing, and then re-enter the game right where you left off.

  The below information is provided for site developers who wish to optimize their website for viewing on the Wii U GamePad controller.
