Nintendo announced during their E3 Press Briefing a new title for Wii U, called NintendoLand.
Developed to be the “game that makes you understand the Wii U,” Nintendoland is a party game that features your Mii exploring a Nintendo theme park, loaded with attractions and games to play that tie to various Nintendo franchises.
Nintendo aims for the game to be fun for both multiplayer and single player gamers, and will tie in closely with Miiverse, Nintendo’s online community infrastructure.
Promising Asymmetric gameplay, Nintendo did an on-stage demo of Luigi’s Ghost Mansion, one of the multiplayer attractions found in the game. This minigame features 4 players on Wii Remotes in a maze trying to find and successfully drain the health of a ghost, being controlled by a single player on a Wii U gamepad.
The game looks like a compilation of various Wii U tech demos we saw introduced at last year’s E3 Briefing.

Details surrounding the operating system Nintendo’s upcoming Wii-U have supposedly leaked online. All of this information seems very tentative considering the fact that the poster mentioned that these details came from a “Version 4 development kit” that is supposedly a few months old.
This information is supposedly two months old and may change considering the fact that the Wii-U is not expected to be released until October or November. The Wii-U’s OS will be reportedly one of the largest in console history clocking in at 512MB. Apparently the operating system run by the Wii-U has “never been seen before on a home console”. Despite these claims that the WIi-U’s OS will be revolutionary Nintendo is keeping the dashboard close to its chest, developers currently do not have access to it.
Hopefully Nintendo will shed some light on this new revolutionary dashboard at next month’s E3 conference.
