Wii U

I have done alot of research on the new 'Wii U' which will be coming in 2012, Nintendo's next home console will deliver as they say, "the deeper game experiences" the aim to offer that it is something for good for everyone to use! It has a wide variety of new controls available that which makes it a crazy new controller with a 6.2-inch touchscreen embedded in it which looks fantastic. The WII U controller has a built-in front-facing cam will allow you video chat from anywhere too. Notably, you won't have to use the 6.2-inch behemoth if you don't want too. The Wii U will be compatible with all current-generation accessories and software. You will be able to use your old Wii collection as it will will play on the U version of the console as well.

The following games that are coming out on the WII U are;
Batman: Arkham City, an Assassin's Creed game, Dirt, Ghost Recon Online, Tekken, Metro Last Light, Aliens Colonial Marines, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, and Darksiders II all got a mention as coming to the Wii U when it launches.


The Wii U is now HD aswell. The fact sheet from Nintendo informs us that the Wii U can now play 1080p video over HDMI. It'll also be compatible with component, S-video and composite cables. In this new console their will be an "internal flash memory" of unspecified quantity, which will be expandable via either an SD card or external USB HDD. Four USB 2.0 slots are made available on the WII, while game media will be served up on "proprietary high-density optical discs." There's also another, worthwhile, reminder that the Wii U will play Wii games and their optical discs without a problem. 

It is scheduled for released on the following dates.
November 18, 2012 in North America, November 30, 2012 in Europe and Australia, and December 8, 2012 in Japan
The price of the console will start at £249.99 roughly to see if it will be a big hit and if it is the price may go up.

My Gaming Experience

I have been interested in gaming ever since I was very young but I never really have time to play any games. But, when i was younger I had a PS1 and PS2 and used to always play Crash Bandicoot, Grand Theft Auto and Fifa as I used to really enjoy playing them and took a great interest right from the start. I then bought a PSP and a Nintendo DS but I don't use them anymore. I used to love playing Super Mario on the DS but unfortunately do not have time to play on it anymore. After that I got a Nintendo Wii and used to enjoy playing Guitar Hero on it. I used to always play on it and got to the difficulty of hard but stopped as I lost interest.  I now have a PS3 and when I have the time I play on all the Fifa games, Call of Duty and Batman Arkham City etc. I am always on my ipod so to pass the time i usually play on Temple Run, Angry Birds and Doodle Jump. That is basically it, my whole gaming experience.
