Today in a pre-recorded statement from Nintendo’s Kyoto headquarters, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata introduced Nintendo’s new home console the Wii U and how the Wii U GamePad, the controller’s official name, is different.
The Wii U GamePad’s buttons were moved to make the controller more comfortable. The sliders are now thumbsticks that can be pushed down, and the controller has a NFC reader/writer than can read cards or figures when they are placed on it.
The Wii U can also be a TV remote controller with a new TV Remote Control button.
