I don't really want to, but I do have to mention the titles that Nintendo announced for the 3DS before I get into their crazy new "console." Nintendo announced that entirely new Mario Kart, Star Fox, Super Mario, Kid Icarus and Luigi's Mansion games would be coming to the 3DS as well as Resident Evil games, Cave Story 3D, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D, Tekken 3D, and Tetris among other games. They also announced that a new Pokedex app would be available for free with the new system update.
For the big news, Nintendo announced their next console: the "Wii U." It basically consists of a controller with a 6.2 inch touch screen in the center. There will be a separate consoles but Nintendo didn't go into much detail about that. The words "a later date" were heard a lot.
Back to the controller. Images are wirelessly transmitted from the console to the controller. You will be able to switch from playing on the TV to playing on the controller itself in an instance, but there is also the capability to use the screen on the Wii U controller and images on a TV screen together while gaming, which could make playing shooters very interesting. The controller also features the following:
-Two analog pads
-Microphone
-Left and Right Speakers
-Accelerometer
-Gyroscope
Nintendo also stated that players would be able to play all Wii games and use all Wii controllers and accessories with the Wii U. Top developers like EA and Ubisoft also announced that they will be working on titles and technology for the Wii U immediately. Nintendo clearly stated that the new console will not be available until after March 31st, 2012 though.
