Zelda HD Experience Demo vanaf E3 vloer

Volgens de meneer van bovenstaand filmpje waren de meeste techdemo's shit, maar volgens hem was de "bird" HD Experience demo het mooiste op de hele E3, en laat het zien dat de Wii U waarschijnlijk een stuk krachtiger is dan de PS3 en de Xbox360. De Controller lijk een resolutie van ergens tussen 480p en 720p te hebben.
