Wii U Appearing AT CES, But Don't Get Excited

Since E3 2011, Nintendo has been quiet about the Wii U, it's next generation console. The company plans to show off the system to the media next month at the Consumer Electronics Show, but don't expect to hear anything new.

Nintendo will show the Wii U to members of the press behind closed doors and will not have any new announcements for the event.

"Nintendo of America, working with the 2012 International CES management, will offer demos of the upcoming Wii U console to members of the media who did not see the system at the 2011 E3 Expo," a representative told Game Informer. "However, Nintendo will not have a booth at CES, nor does it plan to include any games, experiences or information beyond what was available at the 2011 E3 Expo.

"Production and development efforts remain on track for the Wii U launch, which will take place between the start of the 2012 E3 Expo in June, and the end of 2012."

Nintendo previously said it will re-unveil the Wii U at E3 2012.

  • Yo GI staff what do you think of the Wii U?
  • Balls
  • well, thats a tease

  • So it is just a plan to hype people up for E3 and get people who do not watch E3 to pay attention. Still do not care about the Wii U.
  • I just can't wait to be able to play Zelda in HD!
  • I must be the only one kinda excited for the Wii U. I guess I just prefer Nintendo's fun platformer's like Mario and Zelda compared to today's redundant shooters like MW3. Imo, shooters and mmos are losing their luster. Even though cod is successful, it's the same game every year. Also, my friends who play wow are sick of it FINALLY and don't subscribe anymore. I feel like throughout the years, Nintendo has still had some of the most FUN games out there. Zelda, Mario, DK, Pokemon, and Kirby will always be my favorite franchises. Plus I'm really excited for a new HD zelda game. Oh and possibly an HD remake of Wind Waker PLZ :P
  • Don't worry, very little about the Wii U can get me excited
  • So in other words, they unveiled the Wii U way too early and are now trying to fix that mistake. I don't really care about the Wii U at this point as long as they continue to produce quality for their major franchises.

  • We shall see....

  • LAME

  • I want to see if the rumors about 1gb of eram is true or not or if they will go with less. I just pretty much want to know it's guts before i make my decision.

  • I guess their planning to go all out at E3

  • Meh, not really excited for it. I already have a 360, and I could care less for another Mario, Zelda, or cartoony platformer. I mean, the first 2 years of games will be remakes of already established PS3 and 360 games. I guess I'm just tired of NINtendo playing catch up, while I can play Gears, AC, BF, BAC, or any other good game. (Just my opinion).

  • Wait whats the point then?

  • they really need to show us what this console can do

  • I happen to be looking forward to the Wii U. I think it'll make a perfect trifecta with my PS3 and my gaming PC. Don't care too much about a 360. The exclusives never appealed to me.

  • I don't get it, what's the point?

    I don't know about the Wii U. The rumors about it are all over the place. More powerful than the PS3, 1 GB of ram.

    Even with the third party support, why play those game on the Wii U when I could play them on my PS3 or Xbox? I don't see a reason.
  • Wii U will sell for older couples but noting new or neat on it.
  • re-unveil is right.
    That first unveil at this years e3 really confused a lot of people.

    I'm sure they're doing this thing at CES to get other companies or investors excited about it and what it can do, so they probably wont have too many new things to show for an audience like ourselves. They're saving that for e3 2012.
  • I really wish Nintendo would just become a 3rd party Dev at this point, I love their games so much but I've hated their consoles after the N64.... sigh
