Nintendo today released an image of what was its first GamePad prototype.
In the latest Iwata Asks feature, in which Nintendo President Satoru Iwata holds discussions with employees on a host of topics, the company shared what was the first prototype for the
Wii U's GamePad.
The first "GamePad" was made up of two
Wii Remotes that were connected to an LCD display with double-sided tape. Two control knobs on the sides of the display connected to the Wii Remote.
According to Iwata, the GamePad prototype was used to develop "a lot of prototype software." He went on to say that the prototype helped lead the company to develop Nintendo Land, the title bundled with the Wii U Deluxe Set.
Nintendo launched its Wii U last month. The device is designed to work with the GamePad, which offers a 6.2-inch LCD and full motion control. The GamePad is designed to allow users to play games on dual displays, as well as continuing playing a title when they're away from their televisions.
