Toggle Sticks Gaming - June Update

Hey Everybody!

A little late, but better now than later. Here's the June Update, crammed full of Prize Tournaments, Charity Marathons, and E3 goodness. Also a few kickass vids to show off too. Not my own, but epic, none the less.

Nintendo Wii U - Them.. Us.. He.. She.. it.. That.. Me... Wait! that one's already been done..
Also at E3, Nintendo unveiled their next console, the Wii U and left many to question.... what does it look like? Pretty much their whole presentation was about their new controller for it. Looked like a giant touch screen Netbook with controls around the side. From their display they were streaming from the console directly to the screen, allowing for flexibility with TV usage. Also, they had it function as a Zapper Scope, In game menu screen, and direct touch and interact device that functions with objects completely in unison with your TV. Also, did I mention it's in HD? Zelda too.
See for yourself in their trailer: https://www.facebook.com/l/2473eBndEcMKWCpxeie7SX-uJeA/www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e3qaPg_keg
