Nintendo Direct takes a Detailed Look at the Wii U
Nintendo Direct is the great new way that Nintendo has decided to interact with and convey new product and game announcements to their fans. With the help of video host Satoru Iwata – known by Nintendo Direct as Mr Iwata – Nintendo have been streaming video feeds of product unveilings and news direct to fans first – before the news is available anywhere else.
In this latest series of videos, Mr Iwata takes a close look at some of the Wii U system features that we haven’t really heard much about as of yet – how User Accounts and Network IDs will work (no more friend codes!!!) and he even takes part in a Wii U chat with Reggie Fils-Aime, President and chief operating officer of Nintendo of America – who has also become somewhat of a Nintendo celebrity nowadays with fans online.
But perhaps most interestingly, we see a full unboxing of the Wii U premium pack, and everything that comes with it – so fans get an idea of exactly what they will get when they buy their console.

If I'm not playing on a good Adventure Game - still longing for the long-past Golden Age of the genre, when Lucasarts and Sierra ruled supreme - you might find me searching for a local arcade, in the hopes that it still houses titles such as Sunset Riders or WindJammers.
