A simplified version of the home screen will also be at players' finger tips.
During today's Nintendo Direct event, Satoru Iwata spent some time discussing the features of the Wii U home screen.
It appears the main home menu view, which includes all the Mii characters and game application tiles, is not the only view players have to navigate the system menu. A simplified Wii-style menu showing games and other in-built apps will be displayed on the screen of the Wii U GamePad.
It appears these two different viewpoints can also be flipped between the TV and the GamePad.
