The Wii U (pronounced /ˈwiː ju/) is an upcoming home video game console by Nintendo, and is the direct successor to the Wii.[8] The system is expected to be released in 2012 and was unveiled during Nintendo's press conference at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2011 on June 7, 2011.[9] The console has been described as belonging to a new eighth generation.[10][11][12][13] The Wii U is Nintendo's sixth home console and the first Nintendo console to produce 1080p high-definition graphics, and features a new controller with an embedded touchscreen. The controller allows a player to continue a gaming session by displaying the game even when the television is off. The system will be fully backwards compatible with Wii, and Wii U games can support compatibility with Wii peripherals, such as the Wii Remote and Wii Balance Board. However, it will not be backward compatible with Nintendo GameCube media or peripherals.[14]
