Nintendo E3: Wii U

Say what you think of the name, I thought it was stupid. Do not let that decieve you though, here’s why.
The Wii U, yeah I know. But it looks pretty awesome, Nintendo have out done themselves again? “Maybe *sniff* maybe… This machine uses the power of it’s new controller to do all sorts of things. You can fire 200 dollar custom shurikens, at approximately 7 stars a minute.” – The Heavy.
In simpler words you can use your touch screen controller, to launch things on your TV. Or if somebody wants to watch the game, then just play straight from the controller. Crazy stuff? Damn it’s innovative. Unknown Zelda game. HD. Let’s all buy this system now. In all seriousness though, Nintendo announced a load of third party games for example: Arkham City, Battlefield 3, Tekken, Darksiders 2, Metro: The Last Light and much more. Anyway, how about we get the cool technical specs but first here’s a picture for it:
