Today, the successor of the Nintendo Wii home console, called the "Wii-U" was officially revealed. Many rumors were revealed to be true, with the controller being the main focus, having a built-in 6 inch touch screen, gyroscope, microphone, inward-facing camera, two slide pads, a traditional cross-style motion button, two Z-buttons (Left-Z and Right-Z) and an L and R button. The system also allows players to move their game from the television screen onto the controller itself via local wireless transmission, allowing others to use the television if need be, without interrupting your gaming experience. Video chat with the controller is also supported, as well as games such as Connect 4 being playable on the controller itself. Additionally, the console supports HD games, is backwards-compatible for Wii games and controllers, and can be used as a tablet. Content in development includes Ninja Gaiden, Tekken, Batman:Arkham City, and Darksiders 2. Satoru Iwata, Global President of Nintendo, announced that after discussing whether his next game should be on the Nintendo 3DS or Wii-U with Masahiro Sakurai, he decided to develop a Super Smash Bros. game for both systems, that can also be played with both integrated into one experience.

Seriously, Nintendo manges to always surprise me. The controller, personally, looks great, and it'll be fun to play with. I'm also intrigued with the new SSB game. Will they fix all of the issues with that last game? Hopefully, especially with that horribly online.

I would ramble like crazy here, but I'm still too tired from being awake all night. Just everything looks so awesome, not to mention the little hidden Mario Party 9 in the logos, and that Super Mario 3D game looks epic. Gotta get those!

Heh, looks pretty cool. We'll have to wait, though, to see if it's really legit or not.

The system itself kinda looks like a combination of Xbox 360 and Wii.

Though there is only one word to describe all this: WANT

Right now the only game I care about it SSB4.

I can think of just one thing to say here (Even though Yoshi already said it anyway): DO WANT.

Looks pretty decent, Nintendo never cease to please me.

Everything about this looks great.




'Cept the name.

Satoru Iwata said "Smash Bros" and "WiiU" in the same sentence and I immediately counted up the money in my wallet.

It'll be enough by 2012 >:I

The name sounds like a police siren if you say it fast. WIIU WIIU WIIU!

Back on the subject of Nintendo...

Nintendo's E3 was simply amazing. The WiiU is very intriguing, but what really got my attention was Luigi's Mansion 2. :O

I want to see more of what the WiiU can do.

Nintendo, I've only got so much money and gasps in me. Try to tone it down next year!

Nintendo's E3 was very exciting! Although I think Sony really stepped up its game after the negative reputation associated with the PSN hack, it was of no match to Nintendo. The Wii U is a truly intriguing and original concept which caught my attention, so I'm thrilled to learn more about it and the its future titles. The games mentioned, most notably SSBB4, Luigi's Mansion 2 and a couple others, were also quite amazing. All in all, I think Nintendo blew it away this year.

I remember playing Luigi's Mansion on the good ol' gamecube. Those were great times. Also, I'm a bit dissapointed Nintendo didn't show gameplay of SSB4 or at least a small teaser trailer.

He annouced SSB4 but not confirmed yet

I still don't know if I want to buy the WiiU or 3DS (I'm definitely not getting the Vita anytime soon). They both seem expensive. Though I may buy it for Pikmin 3.

I can't imagine how awesome the WiiU will be
