With the many unveilings brought out at E3 2011, the Nintendo Wii 2, which has been rumors before, formally comes out as the Nintendo Wii U. The offering is special since it has found a way to merge PSP technology with WiFi connection in the form of a Wii Remote controller. It resembles a tablet device that has two analog sticks at each upper corner, a remote control in between, D-pad navigation on the middle left and ABXY buttons on the right, L/R on the upper corners, ZL/ZR buttons at the back, and a 6.2-inch touch screen display on the middle.
The screen has multi touch functions, while the Wii Remote still has the previous motion control now made better with an accelerometer, and a gyroscope. The main console can support as high as 1080i and 1080p for video, powered by an IBM Power multi-core microprocessor, with an AMD Radeon™ HD GPU for the video engine. No date has been clear yet, but the release date of the new Wii successor is set on 2012.
