One of the most unique devices out there is the Nintendo Wii. Intended not only to provide fun for gamers in playing but also, the device is after its owners well-being since it carries game titles which are fitness-friendly. However, it's sister brandm the Wii U, is not that revered.
It was thought that Nintendo could make an announcement about the Nintendo Wii U at the E3 this year. This was the rumor that was going around recently, however Nintendo quashed it when they said that they are not going to launch any new hardware at the E3.
This news has come as a big surprise when it came out due to the fact that both the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U are not that old. However there have been poor sales of the Nintendo Wii U, so it was thought that perhaps Nintendo thought they should do something about it.
