Nintendo unveils $300 Wii U

Nintendo finally introduces its next-generation gaming console, which will be in the market in the United States on Sunday. The Wii U console has the same body structure as the previous one, which was launched in 2006 for about $250.

The Wii U’s big difference is the special wireless option in the Gamepad controller which gives the user special powers, adding a new addition to both single- and multi-player games.

This Gamepad has a 6.2-inch touchscreen that works differently with each game. With the multi-player option the gamer sees different things on the touchscreen than their fellow competitors, who have regular controllers.

Nintendo showed off, players with regular controller’s teaming up and trying to catch the gamer with the touchscreen, but the Gamepad holder had an overhead map on the touchscreen, which showed where everyone else is running.

The single-player mode has some exciting special features or interacts with what’s happening on the TV screen. A first-person shooter game was being used for the Gamepad for grabbing items. The players could also move the controller around the room to check out a special heat-map.
