As expected, Nintendo won’t have anything new to show for Wii U at CES 2012. As was the case with the 3DS earlier this year, the system will be shown behind closed doors to media members who missed out on experiencing the console at E3. The company will not have a booth at CES.
Nintendo said in a statement:
“Nintendo of America, working with the 2012 International CES management, will offer demos of the upcoming Wii U console to members of the media who did not see the system at the 2011 E3 Expo. However, Nintendo will not have a booth at CES, nor does it plan to include any games, experiences or information beyond what was available at the 2011 E3 Expo. Production and development efforts remain on track for the Wii U launch, which will take place between the start of the 2012 E3 Expo in June, and the end of 2012.”
We’ve known for some time that Wii U will see a proper information blowout at E3 2012. Maybe we’ll get a nugget or two during GDC, but there’s a good chance that Nintendo will remain quiet until June.
