Nintendo vs. Microsoft at E3, the I-405 Battle Over Controllers
Nintendo gave the world a sneak preview of its newest console in a pre-E3 presentation on its Facebook page this weekend.
The Wii U controller was made public at last year’s E3 and it will function as an extension for games through the touchscreen, but additionally will act as a tablet device that works as a companion for your television.
Some of the tablet’s features displayed during the video include the ability to use it as a full-featured universal remote. It can also function as a portal to Nintendo’s own social network, Miiverse, which will also be accesible online. Video chat features demonstrated that showcased how players could call each other across Nintendo’s network.
What was most striking was the full-featured Wii U Pro Controller. It bore a striking resemblance to an Xbox 360 controller for gamers who prefer that style of play.
Additional information will undoubtedly be made available during Nintendo’s presentation on Tuesday morning at E3. [24x7]
