E3 2011: Nintendo announces the Wii U......Actually looks awesome

The second trailer really shows off the games, got to be honest I wasn't expecting much but Nintendo seem to have struck a good Core/Casual balance here. If the controller feels right and Nintendo can sort out their online service this could be awesome

Im blown away by that,the tech is superb !!

Have you seen the games mate? Ninja Gaiden looks incredible!

I agree though the tech behind this is miles ahead of Sony and M$ and the fact Nintendo are actively looking to keep core gamers happy means this has some real clout behind it!

yeah i was really impressed,ill be keeping a very close eye on this,will the controller work with existing wii? or will you have to buy a complete new set?

No mate it's a brand new console, that controller is just part of it, it is however backwards compatible with all Wii games and accesories.

i may be persuaded to buy one of those looks fricken insane !

I had a Wii and it got used half a dozen times and was sold and has never been missed but props to Nintendo on this, that really impressed me and is definitely something that interests me. I can see my daughter loving playing Mario on that controller

I have to admit, that is really impressive.

looks really good, but as ninja says I got a wii and enjoyed it for about two weeks then sold it. I'll wait to see the longevity of this before I buy.
