Nintendo Unveils the Wii U

Nintendo pulled back the curtains on their next console this morning during their big E3 presentation. It’s called – no joke – the Wii U.

Featuring one of the most insane looking controllers ever created for a video game system, this is a next-gen system with some serious power and potential. Details on the components used in the console itself aren’t available at this time. However, the console has 1080p; has HDMI out, internal flash memory, SD and USB storage support.

The controller, however, is another story. Here’s what we know about it so far: it features an accelerometer, a gyroscope, rumble functionality, a front-facing camera, a microphone, and speakers. The button configuration resembles that of the Wii’s Classic Controller: two analog Circle Pads, a D-pad, A/B/X/Y buttons, L/R buttons and ZL/ZR triggers.

Chip Maestro

An ambitious modder named Jarek Lupinski is working on turning the original NES into a synthesizer via a specialized cartridge called the Chip Maestro. He’s already got himself a working prototype and he’s trying to fund the project through Kickstarter.

If you’re at all interested in making music – especially chiptune sounds – be sure to take a look at this and consider tossing your support behind the project. It’s only $50!
