在剛剛過去的美國E3大展上,任天堂發(fā)布了下一代主機,命名為Wii U。Wii U的核心內容是一個附帶6.2寸觸摸屏的控制器,玩家可以使用控制器來和電視游戲互動。同時通過無線連接,可以將玩到一半的電視游戲轉移到手柄上玩,大人和孩子再也不用搶電視機了。

Nintendo found lightning in a bottle with the Wii, and with the Wii U--the company’s upcoming console--it might have found the bottling plant. The Wii U builds on the barriers broken by the Wii and takes advantage of a touch-screen-equipped controller that offers you a new way to interact with games paired with a console capable of HD visuals.

As with the Wii, the controller is the heart of the Wii U. On the face of the controller you'll find a 6.2-inch touch screen (Nintendo declined to say whether it was multitouch capable). A stylus slides out of the controller for use on the touch screen (which makes us think it's based on resistive touch technology). The matte screen has great viewing angles and offers vivid colors and brightness, making it ideal for use by two people at the same time at very off angles. The pixel density seems to be high enough to put it on par with modern smartphones.

The controller is capable of playing games even if the TV is being used at the moment for something else, like watching shows. It's portable in a sense, but only within wireless reach of the main console, because all of the controller's visuals are generated by the console and then streamed to the controller.
