The biggest title announced during Nintendo’s presentation was New Super Mario Bros. U, the sequel to the extremely popular New Super Mario Bros. on the Wii. The title features a multiplayer mode and makes unique use of the Wii U’s touch screen-based tablet controller. It also allows the player to receive messages in-game through Nintendo’s new social system, the Miiverse. Pikmin 3, a title that allows the player to control small plant-like creatures, was also announced by Nintendo at the event. The game is playable with the Wii U tablet controller as well as the Wii’s Wiimote and Nunchuck. It was also revealed that the Wii U will support the use of two tablet controllers simultaneously.
