Chat comfortably on the Wii U GamePad

If you and a friend want a quick catch-up, you don't even need the TV on to use Wii U Chat. Get comfy with the Wii U GamePad and chat away from the TV.

Simple to use

Starting a conversation in Wii U Chat is easy. Just select the Mii of the registered friend you'd like to talk to, and you'll be chatting in no time!
