Though still unannounced, Nintendo's pre-E3 presentation showed off a Black Wii U and tablet controller.

The Black Wii U was used during a video demonstration. The company's press conference kicks off at 9:00 am PST on Tuesday where we'll hopefully learn more.

Finally a decent shot of the controller's back. It looks a lot more comfortable than the publicity photos. The mere sight of the front was making my palms cramp.

I already can't wait for a Zelda version of the console.

Console looks good. I better start saving up!

Black is cool, but I'm more interested in video conferencing with the elderly.

That was the worst game commerical I have ever seen. How was it supposed to make gamers excited?
by IVohbody Sunday, June 03, 2012 at 06:55 PM

They cannot be serious with that controller. I can't even...

At least if you have a Wii U you'll sport some boss forearms?

Black is overrated, I wish I had gotten mt iPad and iPhone in white...
