Funny thing was that for a long time during the unveiling that I thought the Wii U was an accessory and they were using the Wii which shouldn't create those visuals I saw (which were breath taking). Now; I see that the Wii U console is different from the Wii. However; Nintendo needs to redesign it quite a bit so that there is no confusion.

I got to admit the Wii U was the star of E3 which is a problem since it isn't coming out until at least the next E3 in 2012. The rest of the show was an absolute bore as there was nothing of real note and the only 3DS of note was Tekken (which did surprise me). Certainly the worst E3 since the 2008 edition.
