Nintendo recently launched their new Wii U console, and now Hulu has announced that their Hulu Plus service is now available on the Wii U. This integration allows you to watch content on your HDTV and also control Hulu Plus with the Wii U controller.
Hulu Plus will be available on the Wii U console starting today. Nintendo’s Wii U offers developers like us an exciting opportunity to build an innovative second screen experience for you through the versatile Wii U GamePad controller. The Hulu Plus integration with the Wii U GamePad is one of my favorite features — it allows you to quickly discover more information about your favorite shows while simultaneously watching them on your big screen at home. The console’s second screen controller also enables you to take the TV viewing experience with you to another room in the house with just the click of a button.
Enhanced Viewing Experience
One of the standout features of the Wii U is its GamePad controller, which offers a unique second screen experience. This means that while you are watching your favorite shows on your HDTV, you can use the GamePad to access additional information about the content. For example, you can look up details about the cast, read episode summaries, or even get recommendations for other shows you might enjoy. This dual-screen functionality enhances the overall viewing experience, making it more interactive and engaging.
Moreover, the GamePad’s touchscreen interface makes it incredibly easy to navigate through Hulu Plus. You can swipe, tap, and scroll through menus and options, making the process of finding something to watch both intuitive and enjoyable. This is particularly useful for families or groups of friends who might have different viewing preferences, as it allows for quick and easy browsing without interrupting the main screen.
Portability and Convenience
Another significant advantage of the Hulu Plus integration with the Wii U is the portability it offers. The GamePad controller allows you to continue watching your shows even if you need to leave the room. Whether you want to move to the kitchen to grab a snack or head to your bedroom to relax, you can take the GamePad with you and continue watching without missing a beat. This level of convenience is a game-changer for those who value flexibility in their viewing habits.
Additionally, the Wii U’s ability to stream Hulu Plus content directly to the GamePad means that you don’t always need to use the main TV. This is particularly useful in households where the TV might be in high demand for other activities, such as gaming or watching live sports. The GamePad essentially acts as a personal mini-TV, giving you the freedom to watch what you want, when you want.
You can also watch Hulu content on the display of your Wii U controller, making it a versatile option for different viewing scenarios. Whether you’re in the mood for a solo binge-watching session or want to share the experience with others on the big screen, the Wii U and Hulu Plus have got you covered.
