At last years E3 Nintendo revealed the 3DS, revolutionizing 3D gaming by allowing for glasses free 3D. This year Nintendo continues their trend of innovation with the next iteration of the Wii console, the Wii U. The controller is the main focus of this new console, it is far from the typical game console controller. Now in addition to the typical buttons, analog pads, and triggers a 6.2 inch touch screen and front facing camera are now added into the mix. Now if you are playing a game on the television and a family member walks in wanting to watch something, you can transition to the controller's screen and continue playing from there. Not only that, but the second screen is also being implemented in fantastic ways within the games themselves. In a couple Mii-related games, one player plays through the controller either running and finding a place to hide or controlling a space craft while the other player use the television screen and Wii remote and try to find or attack that other player. The possibilities with this new controller are game-changing and endless, it's absolutely fantastic.
The 3DS wasn't completely left out of the presentation, though, seeing several new game announcements from Nintendo. Those new games include: Super Mario, MarioKart, and a new Luigi's Mansion.
