Available in \"Basic\" (white, 8GB) and \"Premium\" (black, 32GB) sets, it was the first Nintendo system to support 1080p graphics, sold roughly 3.34 million units in Japan, and is region-locked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInspired by Karaoke: The concept for the Wii U GamePad was actually inspired by Japanese karaoke machine remotes.
