    After the Wii successor, Wii U, was revealed this morning, Nintendo detailed two unique functions of the giant touchscreen controller: video calls and web browsing. Internet and the equivalent of Apple's FaceTime on Nintendo hardware? We're just as shocked as you are. We'll be sure to update you with more information as it comes in.

    While Nintendo was blowing minds this morning with the announcement of its new console, the Wii U, the company's Japanese press site was quietly releasing all the juicy specs of the upcoming machine that we hunger for. As mentioned during the presser, the console will output games in high definition, now revealed as ranging from 480i to 1080p. Moreover, the Wii U will output HD by employing HDMI.

    As far as internal storage goes, it's still unclear whether or not the Wii U will come packed with an HDD, but the specs sheet does amorphously detail "internal flash storage," as well as an SD slot and the ability to use USB storage. Notably, the list points out that the USB storage will allow for external HDDs. And while the disc slot gives us the impression that Wii U games will be disc-based, Nintendo has yet to reveal its medium of choice.

    Nintendo took the wraps off its newest home game console and the successor to the Wii. It’s called Wii U and it offers the 1080p HD graphics capabilities Nintendo fans have long been hoping for, as well as a controller that features a 6.2-inch touchscreen.

    Nintendo showed off the machine and its new controller at a press conference kicking off this week’s video game extravaganza known as the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) taking place in Los Angeles.

    "It’s a system that we will all enjoy together but also is tailor-made for you,” said Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime. “It’s different from anything you’ve played before. It can change the way you game personally and it can chance the way you play with your family and friends.”

    Nintendo president Satoru Iwata told the audience that Wii U will be compatible with all other Wii accessories — the Balance Board as well as the Remote and Nunchuk but will also use the new controller.

    A few details about the new controller: It has a 6.2 inch touchscreen, gyroscope and accelerometer for tilt control, it’s got full traditional Nintendo stick and button controls on either side of the screen, triggers on the back, a microphone, speakers and an inward facing camera.

    Nintendo has not revealed many of the details about the Wii U console itself, but Nintendo reps have said that the console itself comes with internal flash memory that can be upgraded with SD cards and other USB solutions and that it plays proprietary high-density optical discs and will access downloadable content as well.

    In a video displayed at the press event, Nintendo showed off how the touchscreen controller can offer players two different perspectives on the same game. You can get one perspective on the action from your TV screen or a completely different perspective on the controller screen.

    You can use both the TV and controller screen at the same time, or you can play a game on the controller without using the TV at all … though Iwata told the audience that the controller is not meant to be a portable game machine that can be played away from the console.

    Iwata told the packed audience that Nintendo’s goal has been to get rid of the divide between gamers and non-gamers and to erase the boundaries that divide players by age and gender. And he said that, with the Wii and DS, the company has made strides in that direction.

    But he pointed out that not all divides have been erased with some game hardware (say, the Xbox 360 and PS3) being seen as accessible only to the most passionate players while the Wii has been perceived as being for more casual players.

    “As an industry, what we haven’t achieved yet is a game machine that is equally satisfying for all players,” he said. “Yet this is exactly what we intend to create with our new home platform. The new platform will provide deeper experiences than even the most passionate gamer has experienced and wider experiences than even the Wii has delivered. It will let everyone see games in a different way.”

    Nintendo's new console, the Wii U, was finally unveiled to the world today at E3 2011, and we got a glimpse of its graphical prowess at the company's keynote. Details were scarce about the IBM silicon Nintendo's new HD powerhouse was packing, but we did some digging to get a little more info. IBM tells us that within the Wii U there's a 45nm custom chip with "a lot" of embedded DRAM. It's a silicon on insulator design and packs the same processor technology found in Watson, the supercomputer that bested a couple of meatbags on Jeopardy awhile back. Unfortunately, IBM wouldn't give us the chip's clock speeds, but if it's good enough to smoke Ken Jennings on national TV, we imagine it'll do alright against its competition from Sony and Microsoft.

    Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has spoken briefly about the online capabilities of Nintendo's newly announced console, Wii U.

    When it was put to him by GameTrailers that Nintendo consoles' online functionality have trailed behind the likes of Xbox Live and PSN, he said: "... Now we've got a system that will have all of that type of capability built in."

    Asked whether third parties will be able to create their own Wii U networks and online worlds, Fils-Aime said:

    "Our approach [to online] will be a flexible one, literally taking the best of what each of our third party partners has to offer, marrying that with the best of what Nintendo does, and bringing that versus a more rigid, a more closed type of environment."

    He added: "We're going to be sharing what we're doing from an online perspective over the next few days."

    Epic Games could pave the way for a rush of externally-developed triple-A Wii U games
    A significant step has been made in Nintendo’s new bid to capture a core games market with Wii U.
    The innovative new console is being supported by two Unreal Engine games and, Develop believes, the high-end engine tech behind them.
    Earlier today Nintendo revealed both Batman Arkham City and Aliens Colonial Marines in production for Wii U.
    Both titles are built with Unreal Engine 3, meaning that Epic Games is very likely supporting Wii U with its popular engine.
    Epic Games vice president Mark Rein said Develop’s theory on the matter “isn’t an illogical conclusion to make”, but could not comment further.
    But he did depart with a jocular hint about Epic’s future.
    Last month Rein said “the second Nintendo releases a piece of hardware that can run our engine well, we'll be on it like water on fish.”
    Today he tells Develop: “Water, meet fish!”
    The move paves the way for a new rush of externally-developed triple-A games for the platform. Unreal Engine 3 has been the central tech to some of the biggest next-generation games in the past five years.

    Yves Guillemot, CEO, Ubisoft:

    “This new controller really revolutionises the traditional pad.

    “In Assassin’s Creed, you can just imagine what the multiplayer will look like and Ghost Recon Online will leverage the fantastic connectivity of the new controller.”

    Martin Tremblay, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment:
    “It has connectivity, advanced graphics and an engaging interface. This is exactly what it takes to shape the future.
    “Batman: Arkham City is going to be on the new console.”

    “We couldn’t be more excited to bring the power of EA Sports to Nintendo’s new console.”

    Ken Levine, Creative Director, Irrational Games:
    “It’s a full console experience. [For example] if my wife is asleep I can put in headphones and play a full hardcore console gaming experience in bed on this smaller screen. That’s a really revolutionary thing for me as a gamer.
    “It seems like Nintendo heard the voices of the hardcore gamer.”

    Warren Spector, Vice President & Creative Director, Junction Point, Disney Interactive Media Group:
    “It means we can make games of the sort that we were never able to make before.

    “We’re planning on putting Darksiders II on the new console at launch.”

    Jeremiah Slaczka, CEO and Creative Director, 5th Cell:
    “The ability to have asymmetrical gameplay so one player can be doing one thing while another player can be doing something else on the TV.”

    Katsuhiro Harada, Chief Game Director, Namco Bandai Games:
    “Without intruding upon your friend’s match, you can play a different game on a separate screen.
    “In Tekken’s 16-year history, this is the first time it will be released on a Nintendo home console.”

    Karthik Bala, CEO, Vicarious Visions:
    “There was total shock and amazement from the team. Nintendo really know how to keep us developers on our toes.”

    Nintendo has exposed its ambitious new games console, called Wii U.
    At the centre of the new console is a built-in 6.2” touch-screen.
    The controller can play content from the console without the TV switched on, or indeed with both controller screen and TC being inventively used at the same time.
    Data is wirelessly transmitted between TV and controller “without latency issues”, Nintendo said.
    The controller features two analogue sticks, four shoulder buttons, rumble support and other standard controller features.
    It also comes with a stylus, where users can draw on the controller – with the image appearing on the TV screen.

    Augmented Reality features come included too, with the controller used to ‘zoom’ images from a TV screen.
    Video calls can also be made, helped with the controller’s built-in camera, and images can be shared between console and controller.
    The device console comes with web browser compatibility.
    Nintendo has confirmed that Wii controllers can be used with the device.
