Nintendo will show the same tech demos on display at last year's E3.
In a statement made to Joystiq, Nintendo has confirmed that the Nintendo Wii U will indeed be made available to demo at the 2012 CES conference.
Wasn't it supposed to be better?
Some new specs have been released about the Wii U console Nintendo announced this past E3. Since the convention, details have been sparse and little has been revealed. However, an unnamed Japanese developer who is allegedly porting a PlayStation 3 game to the console has leaked out these details about the console's internal power. Nintendo has not officially announced anything yet so this is only speculative at the moment.
Also, he likes Skylanders. Who knew?
Reggie Fils-Aime has come a long way from his E3 2004 debut where he was all about “kickin’ ass and takin’ names”. The former VP of Sales and Marketing for Nintendo of America is now the President of Nintendo of America, and he has a lot to say about where the Big N is going, not only in terms of hardware and software, but on the digital front as well. In a recent interview, Reggie talked about the future of the 3DS, the upcoming release of the Wii U, and even took some time to discuss what he’s been playing.
"Nintendo now know they absolutely need to support two tablets."
When the Wii U was officially announced at this year's E3, the idea of a room full of people each with their own tablet was quickly dashed when it was revealed the system could only support a single tablet at a time. Nintendo is reportedly trying to change this by working out a way to support two tablets on one system.
Team Ninja is working hard to push the Wii U to its limits.
At E3 earlier this year, Nintendo showed a Wii U “sizzle reel” showcasing games that were said to be in development for or would be ported to the system at some point in the future. One of the titles shown was the highly anticipated Ninja Gaiden 3, a franchise that hasn’t seen Nintendo console release since 1995’s SNES Ninja Gaiden Trilogy. While it was fantastic news that Ryu would be slashing through enemies on the Wii U, there hasn’t exactly been much information concerning the title since. Actually, there’s been no information until now.
The feature will be used extensively by Ghost Recon Online.
During Nintendo's second press conference, Ubisoft was in attendance and they confirmed some new details regarding their coming Wii U game, Ghost Recon Online. According to Yves Guillemot, Ghost Recon Online will feature extensive voice chat, meaning Wii U itself will support the feature. Seemingly the microphone on the Wii U controller will be used for this feature, but because all Wii accessories will work with Wii U, Wii Speak may also be compatible.

According to Matt R, Miyamoto announced in Nintendo's roundtable that Wii U is the new home of the next Pikmin.
During Nintendo's roundtable tonight, Miyamoto revealed that Pikmin 3 has been shifted from the Wii to the Wii U. The game had been in development for Wii for some time, but was moved when Wii U development began because the system caters so well to the Pikmin game design.
