Wii U

According to Satoru Iwata, Nintendo started thinking about a second screen for the Wii U as early as 2007. But the company originally thought about making the screen separate from the controller. Also, it was quite a bit smaller since LCDs costed much more back in 2007.

“Considering how expensive screens were then, it did not make sense to have this big-sized LCD. We would not have been able to come up with a reasonable price point. … We had not decided when we were going to launch the new console [at that point], but we knew we needed to be flexible.”
