Iwata Unboxes the Wii U and Makes a Mess

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata today teased fans by unboxing the Wii U console during a video presentation.

Today's Nintendo direct covered user accounts and online video chat on the new system, but what about the console itself? Iwata decided to unveil the sleek plastic brain, the GamePad and other bits inside the premium package. Spoiler alert! He also reveals how the Wii U looks standing up vertically, the controller cradle and other cables as part of the "Official Wii U Opening Ceremony".

Iwata certainly has credentials to take on the big shopping channels!
