Aimed at reaching all audiences, even the hardcore gamers, the Wii U is the latest home console from Nintendo and is perfect for “u.” There are two main pieces to the new console, the console itself and the controller

The controller features a 6.2-inch touchscreen on the front and allows users to interact like never before, allowing you to stream games with no latency to the controller and play games without the TV or use the controller to interact with your TV in many ways. The controller also has two circle pads, a control pad, ZB, ZL, L, and R buttons, rumble capabilities, a microphone, speakers, accelerometer, gyroscope, and a inward facing camera.

On the console side, the Wii U supports full 1080p HD graphics and sports a custom AMD Radeon HD GPU, four USB 2.0 slots, an unspecified amount of internal flash memory, HDMI output, and a SD card slot. In addition, the console will be backwards compatible with the Wii, meaning both Wii games and controllers can be used on the Wii U. Katsuya Eguchi, a Nintendo game designer, also revealed that the Wii U’s proprietary optical disc format will hold up to 25GB of data.

Some games mentioned to be coming to the Wii U include Batman: Arkham City, Assassin’s Creed, Dirt, Ghost Recon Online, Tekken, Metro Last Light, Aliens Colonial Marines, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, and Darksiders II.

The Wii U will be coming in 2012 and looks to be very promising already.
