- Black Wii U Confirmed
- New Wii U Pro Controller
- Wii U controller called "The Wii U Gamepad"
-controller leaked design was final, clickable joysticks.
-controller can be used as a t.v. remote.
-(likely cross game) video and text/drawing chat

--5000 character typing limit
-miiverse available on startup and on everything from pc to smart phone to see what everyone is talking about.
-browser video support seems available.

--browser functions on both controller and t.v., can "add" a component of the browser on screen with optional fun animations like a red curtain
-multitouch now seems a definite no.

- Wii U controller called "The Wii U Gamepad"
- The Wii U gamepad has some support of a reader, like the action figure scanner in Skylanders
- Advance Mii system (Some say they saw clothes?)

I am definitely buying the black console/controller!

That was the highlight of the show for me.

*Types in Wii U in Google 1 hour ago.* 1,000,000 results. *Types Wii U in Google in 30 minutes.* 2,000,000 results.

The screen seems a lot smaller.

That is what I was wondering. Almost like a U-niversal ( Bad Pun) Remote!

Cross-game video chat

That wasn't confirmed.... it seem that either the game was suspended or quit out of.

And all of this just scratches the surface of what we will see at E3.

Yeah, the game was suspended because he resumed playing straight into the game after the video chat ended.

The miiverse is always running in the background.
The player paused the game to videochat.

"Miiverse can also be activated any time during a game, without the need to terminate play."

Wow, this was a great way to start E3. I am unbelievably excited now. Even though I'm not really a social person, I find the social aspects of the console to be rather exciting. Perhaps because it is new.

I liked how instead of just having smiley faces, they put the emotion directly on the Mii's face.
