Nintendo Wii U Controller

The Wii U Controller from Nintendo, new for 2012 attempts to redefine the limitations of a gaming console's controller unit. Featuring a number of new functions that the original Wii's controller didn't offer, a 6.2" screen doubles as a touch sensitive control surface, and the game screen itself, allowing for more portable gaming and removing the console's dependency on a TV.

The four traditional buttons, direction pad, dual analog controls, two shoulder buttons, and two triggers offer more traditional gameplay, and are augmented by an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a microphone for a more interactive and innovative gaming experience. Also, a front facing camera has been added for portable video and game chatting.
