Wii Party U (Japanese: Wiiパーティ・U Hepburn: Wī Pāti Yū?) is a party video game from Nintendo for the Wii U. It was announced in a January 2013 Nintendo Direct, and later detailed at E3 2013 and the October 2013 Nintendo Direct. It is the sequel to the 2010 Wii game, Wii Party.
Wii Party U is a multiplayer video game consisting of a standard board game with mini-games, similar to Mario Party. Over 80 different new mini-games are available. Multiple people can play mini-games using the Wii U GamePad. Wii Party U also includes a new accessory, a stand for the Wii U GamePad to allow support for the tabletop games. "House Party" games also return from Wii Party, and focus on various implementations of the Wii U GamePad and Wii Remotes amongst a group of people.
There are four different types of party modes. The first is the TV Party, which can include up to 4 players that use the Wii Remotes and the Wii U GamePad on the television. This mode is a boardgame with each tile having some effect upon the players. The host of the game's name is Party Phil and he controls and announces what happens in the game. The second mode is the House Party where players use the Wii U GamePad as the screen instead of the television with the inclusion of the Wii Remotes. The third type is the GamePad Party, which allows up to two players to use the Wii U GamePad to play in tabletop minigames. The final mode is the Minigame mode. This is where players can challenge each other in all the different minigames from the previous modes.
