Nintendo unveiled a new touchscreen controller for its upcoming Wii U gaming console at an E3 presentation Tuesday that was hosted by Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto, President Satoru Iwata, and Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. The new Wii U controller includes a microphone, face and trigger buttons, speakers, a gyroscope, a rumble feature and an inward-facing camera. Images are generated by the Wii U console and transferred to the handheld screen controller, which means playing away from the console is not possible. The console will make its debut in 2012.
