WiiuWiiiiiiuWiiiiiiiuWiiiiiiu

How do you write it? Wiiu? WiiU? Wii u? Wii U?
Who cares? I'll write "Wiiu".

I watched the live stream, so I know more or less what I'm talking.

First of all, let me clear this one thing!

THIS IS THE CONSOLE
This is the console!!!

THIS IS NOT THE CONSOLE
THIS IS NOT, I REPEAT, NOT THE CONSOLE

Understood? Good.

Well, to be honest, I have mixed reactions to this. Why is this called the Wiiu? Yeah, yeah, Reggie explained it, but I still hate the name. Wiiu sounds...freaking stupid. Imagine this scenario.
"Hey Mom, can I have a Wiiu at Christmas?"
"Kid, you already have a Wii."
"But Mom, it's not just a Wii. The controller itself is very new! It has...errr...*unpacks a piece of paper* an accelerometer, gyroscope, speakers, a front-facing camera, microphone and a 6.2 inch touchscreen."
"What are you talking about? Anyway, the name says it all. Wiiu. It's just a Wii plus unnecessary gadgets that only eats money."
"Mom, you're wrong."
"Don't you dare talking me back. Now go back to your closet!"

Okay, a bit exaggerated. Hehehe

Back to the topic as mentioned before, the controller has tons of functions.
  • Built-in accelerometer, gyroscope, speakers, front-facing camera, microphone and a 6.2 inch touchscreen
  • Two Circle Pads and one Digital Pad
  • Select, Start, Home and Power buttons
  • A/B/X/Y front buttons, L/R bumper buttons and ZL/ZR trigger buttons
According to a few E3 guests, the controller isn't as bad as it looks. You can hold it pretty decently and it doesn't weight a ton. So anyone who had a Sega GameGear, won't have any problems.
The console itself is what the rumors stated. Better than the PS3 and XBox360.
Wiiu will feature 1080p high-definition graphics over HDMI, an IBM Power-based multi-core processor, four USB 2.0 ports, and a built-in Secure Digital slot.

Also please keep in mind, all 3rd party demos that were shown in E3 were PS3/XBox 360 versions. Why do they do that? Check it here out!

Speaking of third party, there are plenty.
Batman Arkham City
Assassin’s Creed
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Online
Darksiders 2
Dirt
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Metro: Last Light
Tekken
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge

I seriously hope, that Sonic Generations will come to Wiiu. I also want to roll around at the speed of sound.
