Meet The Wii U Gamepad, Nintendo’s Answer To Gaming On The iPad
Posted On 03 Jun 2012 By Matt Burns. Under: Uncategorized.
Details are still just mainly technical, but Nintendo just took the wraps off the final version of the Wii U's controller, now named Gamepad. This came during Nintendo's somewhat surprising pre-E3 press conference. The controller itself looks somewhat similar to the prototype unit Nintendo unveiled at last year's E3.
This pre-briefing speaks to the confidence of Nintendo. These sort of details are generally reserved for Nintendo's big E3 event. It's sort of brilliant, really. The last few years Microsoft has generally kicked off the festivities with the first major press conference of the show. But just a few days ago, Nintendo announced today's online press conference, effectively stealing a bit of Microsoft's E3 swagger with the announcement of the Wii U hardware prior to the start of the trade show.
Now that the Wii U hardware has been unveiled, Nintendo can spend even more time during its Tuesday morning press extravaganza showing off the games. Brilliant.No Comments
