All of you who haven't been living under a rock for the last four months will know that the console successor to the Wii is releasing next year, post-April.
If you didn't know that, I would be very pleased to know how you got internet and an electric connection under a rock.
Naturally, as with every upcoming console, there has been much hype and many rumors about the Wii U. Originally known as Project Stream, it represents another leap, and once again by Nintendo. Using high graphics, tablet controller, and motion , Nintendo hopes to blast Microsoft and Sony into oblivion once and for all.This 6.2 inch, resistive touchscreen provides a unique experience, allowing the player to easily interact with items or other tools e.g. maps without disturbing the game.
The purpose of it, however, does not stop there. When the T.V. is occupied, the game can be played on the controller itself.
The Wii U also represents a change from the optical disks used in the Wii for games, to the DVD ones used in the Xbox 360 and PS3. This could mean that the Wii U can play movies.
A relief or Nintendo fans, the Wii U will come with HD capability, allowing the graphics to finally match those of Microsoft and Sony. In fact, there were reports that the graphic capability of the Wii U exceeded that of the PS3 by 50%!
Another reason I'm looking forward to it (yes, I am) are the games:
1. Super Mario Bros. Mii
2. New Super Smash Bros.
3. New Zelda game
Stay tuned or more updates!
