Nintendo To Introduce New Wii U Prototype

Developers are about to get their hands on a new version of Nintendo's impending Wii U console.
Within the next month, the company plans to have a brand new prototype of the device ready for developers, many of whom seem to be excited about the console even though the rest of us don't have many details.
Gary Dunn of Sega Europe told Eurogamer in an interview that the Wii U specs are far from being concrete, and even Nintendo's closest partners don't know everything the final version will entail. "It's still a little early. There's another generation of prototype hardware coming out in June or July that's going to give us more information," he said.

Speaking at The Futuresource Entertainment Summit in London, Baverstock, who was joined on stage by Andrew Oliver, chief technical officer of Blitz Games Studios, was not unforthcoming with damning remarks for the Nintendo device: "The 3DS has dented the adoption of 3D on portable devices," he said. "A lot of people turn the 3D feature on the 3DS down or off completely. It's fundament....
