Reggie once again seems to hint at some Wii U news before E3. Toward the end of the video, he said, “we’ll share more information between now and E3 and after E3.” Maybe we’ll receive some information during GDC?

The Tokyo Street demo can be seen right at the beginning of the video. There’s some footage of the Zelda HD experience as well.

Nintendo had a number of Wii U demos on hand at last year’s E3. The company brought along experiences such as Battle Mii, Find Mii, and the Zelda HD display.

There was one additional demo – dubbed by Nintendo fans as the Tokyo Street demo – that only a few journalists seemed to mention. Additionally, no one managed to capture footage of the experience, supposedly due to the fact that it was being shown behind closed-doors.

Thankfully, CES has given the press with more hands-on time with the Wii U. Someone was able to capture a little bit of footage this time around.

The Tokyo Street demo puts the camera a few feet in the air and the viewpoint continuously moves down a street in a linear path – this happens directly on the television. Users are able to get a less restricted look of the area by moving the Wii U controller in all sorts of directions. Players can rotate the tablet, move it up/down (see the sky/more towards the ground), and more. By pressing a button, the Wii U controller essentially becomes a rear-view mirror, letting users see what’s behind them.

You can find a few screengrabs of the Tokyo Street demo in the gallery above. Footage can be found at the 2:38 mark here.

During a tested.com video show, Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter discussed how he doesn’t consider the Wii U to be a next-gen system. He feels that this is one of the reasons that Microsoft isn’t afraid of the console.

According to Pachter, Microsoft views the Wii U “as an Xbox 360 with a tablet controller and is likely going to come out at a higher price point that the 360 at the time.”

His full comments can be read below.

“…And again, I take a lot of shit for this: their next gen system is a current gen system… But people who go, ‘well what are Microsoft and Sony going to do to catch up with Nintendo?’, they don’t care. Microsoft especially is not afraid of the Wii U. They look at the Wii U as an Xbox 360 with a tablet controller and is gonna likely come out at a higher price point that the 360 at the time.”

Earlier this week, Pachter stated that Nintendo will have a difficult time wooing developers to support their upcoming console. He explained that with the new controller, the company has “complicated game design for developers, who can’t figure out if the Wii U will ultimately support only one or multiple controllers.” He declared that Nintendo is “all but assured of limited third party launch support”.
