Nintendo yesterday announced its latest gaming console Nintendo Wii U. Even though the name makes me laugh the revealed specifications showed that Wii U is not going to be a laughing matter. The Wii U includes a system RAM of 2GB with 1GB of accessible ram(Rest is dedicated to console's OS) that is double that of the PS3 and Xbox 360. It comes with a disk able to store up to 25GB of gaming data. The basic Wii U console is equipped with an 8GB solid-state drive as primary storage, while the Deluxe Wii U console is fitted with 32GB. It has a IBM Power7 multicore processor but Nintendo keeps a tight mouth about the exact processor model.
Wii U can read discs at a 22MB/s which is faster than that of both Xbox 360 and PS3. The most interesting part is the new game pad. The Wii U GamePad is unique from any of the other gaming pads. It has a display on it self. So you can play your games using the pad without connecting to a TV. The GamePad also includes motion control, a front-facing camera, a microphone, stereo speakers, rumble features, a sensor bar, a stylus, and support for Near Field Communication (NFC). So far the specifications assure a much better gaming console than PS3 and Xbox 360. Hope we would be able to see some good games and way better performances when it reaches the market. It hits the American market on November 18th. The Wii U Basic is priced at US$ 299.99 and Wii U Deluxe is priced at US$ 349.99.
