Wii U is... about what you expect.

Well, it's happened. Nintendo has revealed to the world yet another console which no one is really quite sure about. They seem to be getting quite good at being unpredictably successful. The Wii U looks like a Wii that has gained some power and a new shiny huge controller.

What you get with this is an HD Nintendo console that has roughly 50% more power than a Playstation 3. This sounds great but when you remember that the PS3 is five year old technology it feels like maybe Nintendo should have put a little more power under the stylishly white hood. Of course, the final specifications have yet to be announced and developers don't even have a final dev kit yet.

Controlling this beast looks like a mystery to those of us who haven't played it but initial reports from those at E3 are positive.



Initial reports from developers say the console is easy to develop for which is great for getting decent 3rd party support.
