Well this is a surprise, Nintendo has announced new features of the Wii U before E3. At E3 they want to focus more on the content coming to the console.
Some changes have come to the Wii U is the Game Pad.
They have replaced the circle pads with traditional analog sticks. It will also have Near-field Communication technology. This has not been explained, but a leaked
Rayman Legends trailer showed a player scanning real world objects into the
game, similar to the Milo tech demo of the Xbox Kinect. The button layout has changed slightly, but
they have added a TV button; this allows the player to control their television
with simple tasks like INPUT, channel surfing, and volume control.
Nintendo
also announced the Wii U Pro Controller, with looks like the Classic controller
from the original Wii. There were no
other details given.
Miiverse
was also announced as a social network app.
This will allow a player to communicate with other players of the same
language. It will show what everyone is
playing and even have text bubbles of people communicating. This is similar to what the Xbox 360
dashboard and PS3 Home screen can do, but this is much more interactive as you can
even send hand drawn images as comments.
Nintendo announced that this will eventually come to the 3DS, PC, and
mobile devices as an external app.
