Yes, that is Browser, not Bowser!…

  • HTML5 support
  • YouTube works with HTML5 and was shown working on Wii U
  • No Flash support
  • When you pause a Wii U game, you’ll be able to see images of the TV and GamePad displays from that paused game
  • When you pause a game and launch the browser, the software remembers the paused game’s name and prepopulate search queries with it to help users look for relevant information
  • Tabbed browsing included
  • One multitasking example: YouTube video is opened to play on screen, GamePad continues to browse the Internet while the video plays
  • Another example: browse the Internet on the GamePad while the television displays regular programming
  • Tilt the GamePad forward or backward to scroll up and down
  • Quickest browser in Nintendo history
The Wii U browser will be pre installed in the Wii U console and available from launch.
