Wii U Controllers

Rumours are now suggesting that Nintendo’s upcoming Wii U console will in fact now support multiple Wii u controllers.  When the console was first announced with its tablet style controller, initial reports stated that the console would only support one of the fancy new controllers that also double as a handheld gaming unit when the TV is in use.  This resulted in uproar from the gamin community with worries that multiplayer gaming would be negatively affected.  Initial ideas were that one player would use the tablet wii u controller while the rest of the players would use the standard controller and Nunchuk.

 

 

It now seems that Nintendo has turned 180 degress on this, with reports coming in that the new console will be able to support at least two of the controllers if not more.

 

 

Nintendo have officially announced that the Wii u console will be going on sale during the next financial year, which could see the unit hitting the shops as early as April.  We will keep you posted on all Wii u related news as it comes in.

Game developer Ubisoft has unveiled its first game to be developed uniquely for the Wii U, titled Killer Freaks from Outer Space.  The first Person Shooter will take advantage of the Wii U controllers accelerometer and gyros to create an interactive experience that will use the control for both weapon aiming and character movement.
