Last year they showed it to us. This year is for showing what it can do. "It" is Nintendo's upcoming Wii U. Wii U is a system that links the new controller, a mix between a tablet computer and a traditional video game controller, to the Wii console for a new way to play and a new way to interact with content.

“It changes your gaming; it changes how you interact with your gaming friends, and it changes the way you enjoy your TV,” said Reggie Fils-Aime from Nintendo.

In a title like Batman: Arkham City, the controller is your map and your utility belt. In Sports Connection, dial is the perfect pitch, and in Just Dance 4, if you don't dance, you can sit on the sidelines and serve as choreographer, calling up the moves for everyone else in the room has to perform.

And for those who may feel the tablet is too much, too confusing, too intimidating, this is NintendoLand, a whole bunch of games all in one designed to walk you through many of the devices capabilities. However, many developers will tell you Wii U could possibly be more intuitive for non-gamers than the original Wii remote.

“Nowadays, everyone is used to having the TV on, having a show running or a sport running at the same time they are playing with a tablet or a PC or smartphone,” said Francesco Cavallari from Ubisoft. “What the Wii U offers for us game developers is the opportunity to bring that to multiplayer game play.”

Nintendo is also showing off some non-gaming features. One example is PanoramaView, which allows you to watch video on your TV.

Nintendo also touting what will be called Miiverse, an in-game social network so that you and your friends can leave each other messages inside the game.
