Nintendo Wii U - Brand New Console from Nintendo (E3)

As predicted by many of us, Nintendo did release some delicious new hardware titled the "Wii U". While our writers did not have a chance to actually attend the press conference, our colleagues over on Kotaku posted a great hands-on video, highly recommend watching it.

Today, Nintendo's Katsuya Eguchi, confirmed that the system's proprietary disc format will hold 25 Gigabytes of data. That is definitely an impressive size for, essentially, a handheld device. 


Overall, here are the technical specifications of the new Wii U console. 

• High definition display,  1080p resolution ( HDMI output )
• Internal flash-based media storage, upgradeable via USB and SD cards
• Games ship on proprietary iDensity discs of unspecified, but "large capacity" (25GB confirmed)
• 6.2" touchscreen on New Controller,  non-HD resolution
• Games available as DLC
• Compatible with Wii
• Release date around April 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.
