Nintendo Unveils Project Cafe as Wii U

At the E3 2011 conference, Nintendo announces Project Cafe as Wii U. The Wii successor is a white console that houses a six-inch touchscreen, two thumbsticks, camera, motion sensor, face buttons and base unit. Gamers can either display games on the touchscreen with roaming mode, or to a TV with fixed mode. Nintendo also promises zero latency for this link.

In addition to this, both screens can be used simultaneously, although the touchscreen does not output in HD. However, HD is available when the controller is connected to a HD TV. As Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata stated in E3 2011:

“As an industry, what we haven’t achieved yet is a game platform that is equally satisfying for all players,’ said Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata. ‘Yet, this is exactly what we intend to create with our new home platform.”
