In the third day of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, there were many consumer technology trends and products that emerged from the show floor. Below are TechnoBuffalo’s top CES headlines for Thursday, January 12, 2012.
1) Hands-On with the Nintendo Wii U at CES 2012
Our Jon Rettinger got some hands-on time today with the Nintendo Wii U and its controller in a closed-door meeting at CES 2012 today.
The console itself hasn’t been finalized yet, however it appears the controller has been. Initial reports indicate that while the unit is odd looking, it’s a surprisingly nice fit in the hand – very reminiscent of how the N64 controller looked and acted.
