New Nitendo Wii U

This is the Wii U, the new console of Nintendo, some kind of a pioneer in its generation because of its controller.

The controller is some kind of a second screen, a bit like the Nintendo portable consoles, you will have the main screen, your TV, and a secondary screen, your controller, it will have a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope, speakers and microphones, a front facing camera, an IR sensor strip, a 6.2 inch (15.7 cm) 854x480 FWVGA 16:9 resistive touchscreen, 2 circles pads and 1 D-pad.

The Wii U CPU will be design by IBM. It is described by IBM as an "all-new, Power-based microprocessor",the processor will be a multi-core design manufactured at 45nm with an eDRAM cache. Although neither Nintendo nor IBM have revealed detailed specifications, such as the number of cores, clock rate, or cache sizes, references to the chip containing "a lot" of eDRAM and "the same processor technology found in Watson" indicate that the processor shares some characteristics with IBM's POWER7 processor, which powers the Watson computer system and incorporates a large L3 eDRAM cache, but nothing is certain yet.

the console itself will have an SD memory card slot, 4 USB 2.0 ports, 2 in the back and 2 in the front, a sensor bar power port, an AV multi out port and an HDMI 1.4 out port.


but the great thing about the Wii U is that it will be compatible with the Wii Remote, Wii Nunchuck, Wii Classic Controller, and the Wii Balance Board. It has been announced through Nintendo Network that the Wiimote will still be used not only for Wii games, but as a new way to combine it with the experience brought by the tablet controller.

So what do you think of Nintendo new console?
