Riley and Maria and I got a chance to play with developmental versions of the Wii U console on Monday, and gee, did we have fun. It is a very cool device!

Ya got one player on the new handheld -- which has its own built-in screen -- and ya got four others on Wii remotes. The player with the new handheld has supreme power. It's major fun.
