I got really excited by the announcment of this console at E3 2011. Months later after all the news Ive been hearing, "Crytek intrested in WiiU", "Battlefield 3 Developer sees potential in WiiU" "Nintendo introduces the Nintendo Network", "Assassins Creed 3 to make its way to WiiU", Nintendo could open Ebook store on WiiU". It really seems to me that Nintendo is trying to make up for the short comings of the Wii. It has been stated by various different developers that the console is three times more powerful than the PS3 and is fully HD capable. The most unique thing about this console though is its controller.

The WiiU controller has a 6 inch touch Screen built right in and offers NFC support. The Controller can also stream games from the WiiU console allowing someone else to watch TV and you to continue your game without the big screen. Its been said that the console will also be Backwards Compatible with all Nintendo Wii Controllers, games and accessories.




Skip ahead to the WiiU Announcement.

All in all Im very happy and excited for this console. Ive always said that if Nintendo were to make a Console on Par with the competition they would OWN the industry. And with the WiiU it looks like they are going just that.
