Wii U

  Hello again. Since I rarely post, I decided to do two post in one day since I am free. Yesterday Nintendo announced the Wii U at the E3 Expo. The Wii U is the next generation Wii. In Nintendo's presentation they mainly focused on the new remote that comes with the new Wii U. I don't know why they did not pay much attention to the system itself.

  Now the new system is powered by a IBM Power®-based multi-core microprocessor. I have no idea what that is. What I am sure of that it will support Full HD gaming. Am I happy. No, I am MORE THEN HAPPY!! That is very good news. People speculate that the picture will be on par or just a little lower then the X-BOX 360. Thats enough for me. To provide this HD gaming experience, Nintendo have decided to use HD DVD's which are currently used for the X-BOX 360 if I am not mistaken. That is all I, and most people know about the system thanks to Nintendo's lack of explaining it. I am now forced to write about the controller as Nintendo threw a whole book about it at us. 

 
  The controller looks like a Tablet except that it comes with two toggles, a control pad and the X,Y,A and B buttons. It also has two sets of L and R buttons. Not to mention the mic, camera and 6.2 inch touch screen. It is all there to create a new gaming experience. With this new controller, you don't need the TV on to play your games as you can just play it on the controller. But don't think it can also work as a portable device. It has to be in a certain range to work with the Wii U.

  With this new controller, there are several ways to play your games. One ways is like how I stated above by playing your games on the controller itself. Another way is by using the TV on the screen and the controller just gives you extra information like a map of your game. This is to make your gaming experience more smooth and simpler. The third way you can play a game is by using the controller and tv which will interact between each other. For example, you can play a game of tag. The person who uses the new controller is the one being chased and has more information on his screen. The other four players using the normal wii mote use the TV screen to chase player 1. It all looks very fun.


  Nintendo have not released any information regarding the date it will come out or the price it will be selling at. All they told us is that it is coming out next year. I guess we will all have to wait but one thing is for sure. I want it!
