Nintendo hopes to give gamers a "Wii" bit more fun this holiday season.

During the second day of the E3 conference Tuesday, the Japanese game maker showed off new details and games for its Wii U system, which is set to hit store shelves in November.

The console will be played with a special controller that has a built-in touch screen tablet. Nintendo officials described how the iPad-like device would work with new games and features.
