Nintendo will unveil the Wii U gaming console in Australia next week, fans will have a chance to get their hands on the new device.

Again we find ourselves thinking, has Nintendo shot itself in the foot, or has it yet again made a brilliantly tactical move bringing the Wii U to the market?  What demographic can the Wii U carve from a public that is already familiar with HD gaming and tablet based technology?

Overnight Nintendo confirmed the European, and therefore Australian and New Zealand Wii U launch details.  Nintendo’s high definition gaming console will hit Antipodean shores in two forms this November.

News just in from Ubisoft, the all-important full list of tracks for the upcoming, and very popular, Just Dance 4.  Also included for those thinking of picking up Nintendo’s new device, are exclusive tracks for the Wii U and some info about the games different modes.

Time for some sexy Catwoman action in from the upcoming brutal DC Comics based fighting game Injustice: Gods Among Us.

Ubisoft has confirmed the November release date for Assassin’s Creed III on PC and a word on those wanting the game on the Wii U platform.

Nintendo is dubbing 2011 the year of Zelda, celebrating 25 years of the franchises existences.  Link has been battling foes in the land of Hyrule, directed by the princess Zelda for a quarter of a century.    As part of the celebrations Nintendo has announced a limited edition for the latest game in the franchise The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, including a rare golden Wii Remote Plus controller.  Settle down however, the Wiimote contains no real gold.

Here is an idea, what do we expect from the next generation of gaming consoles?   They are, apart from the Nintendo Wii U, still a few years away from hitting the market, but already rumours are circulating around what form the next-gen will take.  If Microsoft and Sony were to combine forces, the next game console could make them a bunch of Mony.

With a new home console on the way, and a revolutionary new controller to accompany it, some would argue that the Nintendo Wii U 'won' this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles.  But it looks like local Melbourne based developer Firemint will trump the Nintendo experience with its Real Racing 2 HD for iPad making a spit screen appearance using iOS 5 and AirPlay.

At the Electronic Entertainment Expo show in Los Angeles, Nintendo has revealed the snazziest piece of new gaming hardware the show has to offer.  Powering up the Wii to high definition levels and introducing a game changing controller that provides an alternate view for each gaming experience.  The Wii U and new touch-screen based controller may silence the Nintendo nay-says.
