Wii U Announced

As you probably know, one of the most popular gaming conferences occurred this week, E3. Over 50,000 people attended this year, 10,000 of them being industry professionals. There were many things announced at E3 this year, including the Wii U, a great portable device that Nintendo announced. 

This is the Wii U. But this hand-held isn't the only thing included. There is a console, so the Wii U can operate. The Wii U can output High Definition graphics in resolutions up to full 1080p, just like a 360 or PS3, letting you take advantage of your fancy LCD or Plasma display. It also outputs over an HDMI, just like a 360 or PS3. If you're still playing on an old chunky TV though, don't worry - Nintendo have said it'll support standard composite SCART leads, too, just like the Wii.

It has a funky, self-loading media bay just like the old Wii. Along with normal, Wii DVDs, the console also supports new 25 GB disks, which all Wii U games will come on. Disappointingly, though, the console apparently won't run GameCube games anymore. Which is a bummer for all you retro gamers out there. 

Finally, it's compatible with all Wii controllers. Whether it's your balance board, nunchuck, classic controller, or Wii Remote, you'll be able to connect up to four Wii Remotes, plus the brand new controller to your Wii U at any one time. Seeing as the Wii Remote was pretty much controller perfection for most games, we're glad Nintendo's kept it.

Unfortunately, the Wii U will not bump up your resolution for the current games you have, but it will play them. 

So, I want to know what you think of the Wii U. Post a comment down below and tell us what you think.
