The successor to the {{bp|Wii}}, the Wii U, has been revealed at this year's E3. Even though this news isn't yet directly related to Pokémon, future Pokémon console games will likely appear on this platform. This new console will be equiped with a new controler, complete with a 6-inch touch screen, which players can use even when not using the TV to play games. The system also has High-Definition graphics and capabilities, though they're not yet revealed. All Wii games are reverse compatible with this new system, which is set for release in March 2012.
During {{bp|Nintendo}}'s press conference at E3 today, the successor to the {{bp|Wii}}, the {{bp|Wii U}}, was been revealed. Even though this news is not yet directly related to Pokémon, future Pokémon console games will likely appear on this platform.  
 
While it supports the controllers of the Wii, this new console will be equipped with a new controller, one with a 6.2-inch touch screen, which players can use even when not using the TV to play games. The touch screen controller also comes with a stylus, much like the {{bp|Nintendo DS}} and {{bp|Nintendo 3DS|3DS}} series of systems, and a camera that faces players.
 
The system also has high-definition graphics and capabilities, allowing an output of 1080p on television screens; a slightly lower resolution is available for the touch screen. All Wii games and, as previously mentioned, controllers are backwards compatible with this new system, which is set for a March 2012 release. Game series set to release games for the system include the likes of Tekken, {{bp|Super Smash Bros.}} and Pikmin.
