Nintendo Wii U Sneaked Details?!

Ubisoft loves to talk...

The Legend of Zelda Tech Demo to show the graphical capabilities of the Wii U at E3 2011.
A recent leak from an unnamed Ubisoft developer has unveiled, still rumored, details about the Nintendo Wii U on a forum. The forum speaks of the price being ranged from $350 to $450. I personally am Subject to believe that is the biggest rumor as I believe Nintendo learnt their lesson from the 3DS Launch. The details within also speak of the specifications involved with the console. DirectX11, Unreal Engine 4, 2GB RAM, Radeon HD 6770 graphics and other pre-installed software. The date for release was placed at the same time as my previous article, November 23rd 2012. A fair time after E3.Apparently their are multiple versions of the console for different developers so the design hasn't changed much except for the trigger buttons won't be analog. Other rumors include the Wii U supporting the Wii Vitality Sensor but I HIGHLY doubt that piece of information. Nintendo will also be offering some form of Achievement System like what we've seen in the Xbox 360 and the PS3.

The last bit of details speak of what companies are releasing what for the Wii U. Ubisoft has Assassin's Creed 3, Rayman Legends, Just Dance 4 and The Avengers. EA and Crytek are also working on games for the Wii U. Valve has it's own plans as well, the porting of the Portal series to the Wii U (Which will fit beautifully with it's technology).

Whether this is true or rumor is left to be debated but E3 is just a few days away and Nintendo is expected to unveil all they need to. Tell me, are you excited for the Wii U or just casting Nintendo off again like what happened with Wii's release?
