Today Nintendo is holding a conference to talk about Nintendo Web Framework which is supposed to help in the development of games and applications for the Wii U.

The Nintendo Web Framework is a development environment based on WebKit technologies, supporting application development on the Wii U system using HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. It also supports the Wii U GamePad controller, Wii Remote controllers, and JavaScript extensions such as video playback. With the Nintendo Web Framework, development times will be reduced and Wii U applications can be easily developed using common Web technologies. Combining the handy Wii U GamePad, the TV screen, and the Internet, the potential exists for the services and games you are developing to progress by leaps and bounds.

This type of developer friendly system is something Nintendo has been known to…well, not care about.  I am glad to see that Nintendo is opening up development for the Wii U and their systems. This is to the benefit of developers and Wii U owners.
