Nintendo staat te trappelen om hun nieuwste speeltje Wii U te tonen aan het grote publiek.
Ze wachten dan ook niet op de E3, de grootste gamebeurs ter wereld die volgende week begint, maar zullen vannacht al de Wii U presenteren in een speciale pre-E3 uitzending.
De Nintendo Direct uitzending is live te volgen op de site van Nintendo. In de presentatie zal opperjapanner Satoru Iwata, chef van Nintento, het concept achter de nieuwste gameconsole onthullen.
Vanaf middernacht, 00:00 uur Nederlandse tijd, kunnen we dus gaan kwijlen om alle nieuwe foefjes van de Wii U.
Hier alvast een Trailer!

De grote hamvraag is... zitten we hier op te wachten? Wordt het een flop? Of een lopend succes. Je kan het kwijt in dit topic.
Gamekings heeft laten weten dat de Wii U op papier 50% krachtiger dan de Xbox 360 en de PlayStation 3 is.

Wii U Spec (wijzigingen na vannacht onder voorbehoud).
Console Hardware
Storage
Internal flash memory (amount unknown)
Expandable memory via SD memory card or external USB hard drive
CPU
IBM Power®-based multi-core microprocessor
IBM has also revealed it to be a 45nm chip, with embedded DRAM. Additionally, the CPU is based on the same chip that is used in the Watson supercomputer, implying it is a Power7 model. (Source: Kotaku)
Previously rumored to be roughly 50% more powerful than PS3. (Source: IGN) Recent reports of actual hardware however suggest it to be much greater, putting it around 20% less powerful than the next gen Xbox (which is rumored to be at least 6 times more powerful than current gen consoles). Again, all rumors however.
GPU
AMD Radeon-based High Definition GPU
Reports from 2011 suggest it is based on the RV770 architecture, unlike previous reports which merely pointed to the general R700 series and supports DirectX 10.1
This chip is used in ATi's Radeon HD 4800 series cards
"Eyefinity-like multi-display tech for up to four SD video streams"
According rumors about details leaked by a Ubisoft employee just before E3 2012, the console uses an AMD Radeon HD 6770 and supports DirectX 11
Note that none of this is official from Nintendo
Sources: Engadget, GameWatch[1]
RAM
According rumors about details leaked by a Ubisoft employee just before E3 2012, the console will have 2 GB of RAM, with 560 MB of RAM dedicated to the main OS.
Wii U Daily Rumors
In early December, Wii U Daily reported hardware information supposedly received from a Japanese developer. They consisted of:
Quad-core, 3 GHz PowerPC-based 45 nm CPU, very similar to the Xbox 360 chip.
768 MB of DRAM “embedded” with the CPU, and shared between CPU and GPU
Unknown, 40 nm ATi-based GPU
While Wii U Daily suggested that this would put the Wii U on par with the XBox 360 in terms of performance[2], PCMag.com clarified, that not only were some of the details inevitably misreported, but that just the processor specs would, " ' In terms of raw power, ... put the Wii U way ahead of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.' "
