Nintendo Direct Pre-E3 2012 - full presentation

There is a lot of information in this video, so I suggest watching all of it in-case you missed the show at 3pm PST.


Nintendo's E3 presentation will focus almost entirely on Wii U and it's games. 3DS information & new game announcements will be made later next week after the Nintendo Press Conference. 


Some important points:


- Wii U is an evolution of Wii and something brand new
- Wii U menu system is basically called "Miiverse", a plaza full of Miis and games
- View your Mii, Miis on your system, your friend's Miis and Miis in the same country having similar experiences
- The Miiverse lets you see what friends are doing, even if you don't have the same games as them
- Access Miiverse during gameplay as well similar to how it works on 3DS
- communication between Miis can happen via text messages, but can also be viewed/used via the Wii U GamePad
- Hand-written notes on the GamePad for the Miiverse similar to Swapnote on 3DS
- Miiverse lets you choose facial expressions for your Mii
- Post screenshots from gameplay, or content that you've created yourself
- Miiverse can be accessed by all games via home button
- Miiverse can be used with games that don't feature online interactions
- After launch, you can access Miiverse on your PC, 3DS or any web-enabled mobile device
- Wii U internet browser lets you share what's on the Game Pad via your TV
