The Wii HD rumors are true! (For once...)

At this year's E3, Nintendo announced its next console: Wii U.

The system's major innovation is its new controller with a touch screen that can be used to stream video content, but will it be enough? Should Nintendo be worried about connectivity between the PS3 and PSVita stealing their thunder a year before they even launch Wii U?

Vinnk and SeanOrange tackle these questions, and clear up rumors about the Wii U's functionality.

UPDATE: Since recording this, we've heard that the Wii U will not upscale Wii titles.

COME ON, Nintendo! If some kid in his mom's basement can do it entirely with software, can't your engineers figure it out?
