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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nintendo had a number of Wii U demos on hand at last year’s E3.
