Nintendo Releases New Wii U

Nintendo brought us a big surprise again at this E3 conference. The follow-up device of the Wii officially announced its name as Wii U, which means “We & you”. Although the host of the Wii U has not yet been announced, Wii U The handle has deeply shocked us.

At the E3 conference in Los Angeles, Nintendo said Wii U will be available for sale in April-December next year. By April of this year, Nintendo had sold 86 million video game consoles, but the market was shrinking. Nintendo and Sony’s dedicated game consoles were all facing the challenge of mobile devices. Wii U appeared to meet this challenge.

Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo, said: "As an industry, we still haven't accomplished anything. It is to build a game platform that satisfies all players. This is what we want to build through the new platform."

The Wii U has a square handle with a 6.2-inch display (touchable), dual joysticks, four buttons, dual back buttons, a camera, gravity sensor, speaker, and microphone.

The Wii U display can be used instead of a TV to display the game. The picture corresponds to HD. The Wii U is compatible with all Wii accessories. The Wii U's handle also seems to be compatible with the Wii. The Wii U's handle camera can interact with the content on the video. Those games that do not use keys at all can also meet the requirements of key players. Nintendo emphasizes that this is not a portable game device, but an extension of the home console. This handle can be said to be equivalent to a tablet computer.

Wii U is also able to interact with 3DS. Wii U's game lineup is absolutely strong. Various games have been publicized at this conference. Lego City Story, Dark Blood Lineage 2, Iron Fist, Batman, and Assassin Creed, Ghost Action, Battlefield Heroes, and Harry Potter, while the third party currently has EA, Ubisoft, THQ, 5th cell, irrational, and Disney.

Finally, Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo, USA, said with great pride: "Dual screens have changed the industry, touch screens have changed the industry, somatosensory grips have changed the industry, naked eye 3D has changed the industry, and now it's the Wii U."
