Nintendo Wii U’s Debut Tops E3
Nintendo showed up at this year’s E3 debuting the Wii U. It may have been the top showcase of the conference. The new platform displays a step up in technology of gaming consoles. Also, the Wii U’s part-time standalone controller raised eyebrows, more about this later. But what really keeps game consoles moving off the store shelves, the games, and Nintendo didn’t forget about games.
Obviously topping Nintendo’s debut’s at E3 was it’s new console, but what about it’s game updates and the DS? Here’s a short list of Nintendo’s future plans for Wii U:
5) Super Mario Bros. on the 3DS and Wii U. Technically these two titles haven’t even started production, the announcement of the 3DS and Wii U versions of Nintendo’s popular fighting series sent fans through the roof.
4) Third party games such as Call of Duty and Resident Evil have forced Nintendo to support these games to drive more gaming consumers to the Nintendo product.
This year at E3, Nintendo announced titles such as Ghost Recon, Assassin’s Creed, Batman: Arkham City and Tekken. Gamers are hoping Nintendo will add some enhancements to these game titles and more for the Wii U’s 2012 market debut. With these additions, Nintendo’s focus seems to have shifted to making sure the Wii U is a fit to all companies and franchises.
3) Two new mini-games, Chase Mii and Battle Mii showcased the potential of the Wii U. The two demos utilized the new controller/tablet to an amazing effect, giving each player a unique gaming experience, which is quite remarkable. Impressions were made by the new controller’s innovations and no question there’s plenty more that can be done than what was demonstrated at the conference.
2) Zelda: Now a HD experience. A must see. Do yourself a favor if you’re a fan and search youtube for a trailer.
1) The new Wii U game console. Nintendo did deliver. Nintendo’s 2nd gen Wii console is a system for all to enjoy, casual and serious gamers, alike.
Actually, the biggest buzz coming from gamers and the like, is centered around the controller.
The controller actually is more of a sidekick to the new console and your television, and can double as an extra controller in some games. Also, the wireless controller works as a standalone entertainment device as well. The multi-functional controller contains a tablet with a 6.2″ touchscreen with stylus.
The Wii U controller definitely kicks console gaming up a notch, but it’s hard to tell just how it all works until Nintendo has full, functioning games that make full use of the system’s potential.
No date was set for debut in stores nor was a price. But be expected to pay over $250 for Wii U
