Nintendo Wii U Hands-on at E3 2011 [Video]
Nintendo has unveiled its next-gen console, the Wii U, and while the name may be vaguely familiar, the hardware has undergone a significant revolution.

Nintendo’s E3 2011 press conference has officially unveiled the much anticipated next-generation Wii game console. Nintendo’s original Wii revolutionized gameplay and naturally its next offering would draw a lot of attention. What could the company come up with next? Well, its the Wii U and we’ve already brought you early details on it during our coverage of the press event, but here now is a video of the announcement plus trailer along with the official press release.
SlashGear 101: What Can the Nintendo Wii U Do?
Before we begin, have a look at the initial announcement post on the Wii U we whipped up from the words spoken at E3 2011 on stage at the Nintendo keynote. But what does it all mean, you might be asking? What will I be able to DO with this new Wii U system, and what will I be doing with the Wii gear I've got already? Let's have a look! What we've got here is two major bits: a new controller and a new console, the controller needs to the console to work, but the console does NOT need this brand new controller to work. Confused yet?

Wii U Announced and Detailed in Full
Nintendo’s opening E3 2011 keynote took a wild turn near the end with an announcement of a brand new piece of hardware. “In thinking about a new Nintendo system we knew the prevailing thought would be this: yes, the game would probably be right for all of us, but could it also be a perfect fit just for you,” said Satoru Iwata, Nintendo’s Global President. “The answer to that question is an emphatic: Absolutely. Today, welcome to the world of Wii U.” A bright and simple Wii with an inverted U in a blue/green square appeared on the screen, and there was much rejoicing.
PokeMon Black and White Announced for Nintendo 3DS Pokedex 3D in Tow – for FREE!
During Nintendo’s E3 2011 they ran through a barrage of games that included classics from the original Nintendo all the way up to the 3DS, for which they announced an enhanced version of PokeMon Black and PokeMon White, both of them including a brand new enhanced Pokedex (that being the wiki dictionary you use in the game to collect monster information.) This new Pokedex should enhance the game to a level where players of previous versions or even the first iterations of Black and White will want to move over to this device just to get a taste of the new system.
Nintendo Confirms, Previews New 3DS Game Titles
Nintendo's press conference at E3 2011 promised to reveal the company's next-generation Wii. But before pulling back the curtain on the major announcement, they of course had to throw in some other developments to fill the gap until the new gaming console releases next year.

E3 Nintendo Keynote Opens with Zelda Orchestra, Four New Zelda Titles
Nintendo’s opening keynote for E3 2011 on June 7th, 2011 began with a blast – a giant screen display showing off a massive collection of Zelda scenes from every single iteration of the game (or so it seemed) since the beginning of the series. One of the most legendary names in gaming Shigeru Miyamoto, aka the creator of The Legend of Zelda, is called on stage. His presentation includes a series of “live” songs from the game played by the in-house orchestra. Certainly a strange display for the 25th anniversary of the Zelda series.

Xbox 360 Wireless Speed Wheel debuts at E3 2011
I have mentioned before that we have all three of the major game consoles in my house. We tend to play the PS3 more than anything else. The big reason for that is that we like driving and racing games around here and on the PS3 I have the Logitech G27 and a racing seat that makes Gran Turismo 5 some of the most realistic racing action to be had anywhere. I have wished on more than one occasion that Logitech would make the G27 work on the Xbox 360.
