Nintendo has confirmed that the Wii U will be able to support two Wii U GamePads at once. The company’s first content will be focused on just one controller at E3 this week, but experiences with two will eventually be shown.

Perhaps some games on the show floor will demonstrate two Wii U GamePads?

Nintendo’s E3 2012 media briefing has just begun, and the company is finally giving us a look at Pikmin 3. The first gameplay footage of the game is being shown as we speak, running on Wii U.

New “rock” Pikmin were introduced, which have the ability to break hard objects. Four leaders can be controlled.

Pikmin 3 makes use of the Wiimote and nunchuck. An overall map is shown on the Wii U GamePad. If players wish, the entire game can be played entirely with the GamePad.

The title’s “Challenge Mode” will be on display at E3 2012 this week.

We’re just a few hours away from Nintendo’s E3 2012 media briefing, where Wii U will take center stage.

Interestingly, if a new Facebook page is any indication, the console may see a game from one of EA’s most popular franchises: Mass Effect.

The German Mass Effect page posted the following notice less than an hour ago:

“Don’t forget: Tune into the Nintendo press conference today at 6 pm…
http://e3.nintendo.com”

It’s worth mentioning that the same page made no mention of Sony or Microsoft’s conferences, so this wasn’t just a random post to promote E3 in general. Could this be a sign that Mass Effect is finally coming to a Nintendo console?

Ubisoft’s ZombiU might have wowed audiences with an interesting trailer, but I’m sure plenty of people were confused about the game’s bizarre-sounding title. There’s more to this Wii U launch title’s name than a terrible pun, which should be apparent if we take a look at the first game Ubisoft ever published:

I know you wanted to say it when you saw the image.

I know you took a look at those rounded grips and those smooth analog sticks and the first thing that came to mind was “Great, Nintendo’s copying Microsoft”

But don’t. Don’t go there. Don’t you judge Nintendo for this. I know you want to, but don’t.
