Nintendo's next console is called the Wii U

Rumored for years, hyped for months, the “Wii U” is exactly what everybody expected: a high-definition Wii. It's name, however was not (so much for that Beam/Stream/Nintendo name). Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime says the Wii U is unique, utopian and it's “tailor made for “you.”

While Nintendo didn't unveil the actual hardware unit (you could see a glimpse of it in demo video showing off the controller), the console does appear to have support from a wide array of developers, including big names like EA, Namco, Sega and Ubisoft, Nintendo's planning to “revolutionize” our notion of gaming once again.

Here's a list of games announced at E3 for Nintendo's new console (keep in mind that title names are not final and that changes can always be made):

Alien's Colonial Marines
Assassin's Creed
Batman Arkham City
Dark Siders II (launch title)
Dirt
Lego City Games
Metro Last Light
Ninja Gaiden 3
Tekken
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online


From the feedback we're getting from the audience, it looks like Nintendo is poised to disrupt the PS3 and Xbox 360′s 10-year life cycle with the Wii U. At long last, Nintendo joins the HD console race, but is it too late or just in time?
