We finally recall some of the contents of the conference from Nintendo as it turned out bland. One key moment, the unveiling of the new Nintendo console, the Wii U.
Wii UOn expressed concern about the resilience of this conference, when Shigeru Miyamoto has been doubled simultaneously. Cacophonous big moment, taking the English ascendancy over the Japanese and Japanese to English, it was feared not understand anything of the conference. Fortunately, the language of Shakespeare took over quickly and we could expect, more or less patiently, the announcement of what was to be one of the major events of this E3.
U Wii is the new Nintendo console. After presenting complex and dense, the console has received additional information, more accurate this time. Glimpsed in the video demonstration and not at all put forward by Nintendo at its conference, a reader will complement the tablet. We understand that Nintendo has a little neglected this last innovation, particularly from the controller.

Specials
Nintendo probably did not disclose all the possibilities of the console and its shelf in particular. But let's look at this especially as the duo console-controller will be able to do. You can play more too banal, ultimately, on your TV controller in hand. But you can also transfer the image of your screen to the pad. And find your game as well, with a display as good, but in a "nomad". U Wii console will then send all the game data on your shelf, streaming.
Moreover, the controller should also receive the "Applications" dedicated but Nintendo certainly we'll talk later.

But the first games announced very promising headlines. Nintendo wants to differentiate itself from its competitors, offer something else, another new way to play. The manufacturer still shot a wild card, through innovation. And so far it has been fairly successful.
