"Wii U"? Am I the only person who hears that in the voice of Mentok the Mindtaker [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC4jZKSU8G4]?
Beta Controller is ____?, Remember the PS3 Batarang?
Also I have to admit its kinda odd seeing people insulting the console based on the looks of the actual hardware, who cares? Id play games on a perfect plastic copy of The blue waffle if they had mass effect 3. If the aesthetics of it hurt you so much You can just not look at it?
Anyway. The pad does look a tad big, but of its light enough i cant see much problems, The Xbox original pad and any ipad look as bad and i managed ok with them. TBH every point made will be forgotten if they Release Mass Effect 3 with a touch screen HUD.

I was hoping to use a DS or 3DS as a controller.
I was seriously impressed with the fact that they're now at the place the others were 5 years ago. I'm serious, I'm impressed. That says a bit too much about Nintendo, but oh well.
They have 3rd pary support and serious online, who cares that it's, like, the stupidest name evar?
I am worried about the grip though, it looks really uncomfortable to hold.

It's a white iPad. With HD gaming capability. And the traditional Nintendo mascots...
If I remember, there were versions of DSs that were going to have built in phones. And now they have some in-house touch screen technology...
My interest... you have it.

Why just why...
To be "different" i know some other brand that is "different" it is called Apple. Sure they are success at a price. While nintendo has the gain that it was relative cheaper this generation.. will this Wii U be expensive? Will it be to limited? Will it require special Wii Wireless Adapters to work with Wireless? .. something like that?
What will it be?

Not impressed in the slightest. I like my games to be, ya know, games? I could really care less about how sleek their new console is. It brings nothing really new or meaningful to the table that isn't already done by something else. Video calls? It's called Skype. Touch screen gimmicks? It's called an Ipad. Lame motion control minigames? It's called the Wii.
Stupid system, and I hope Microsoft doesn't feel the need to jump on the "we need a new console" bandwagon.

They tried that. Twice. N64 did ok, but still lagged behind Playstation. Gamecube got slaughtered by the PS2 and got edged out by the XBox. The -original- XBox.KeyMaster45 said:
One can only bash their head against a wall so many times before figuring out that it hurts. Why try to cater to an audience that ignores you when you can go after others?
a sequel to a twenty year old game?Arisato-kun said:
And all nintendo has done is introduce concepts which the xbox 360 and ps3 have had for half a decade, they haven't "outdone", they've caught-up. very late.
people should stop treating nintendo as the paralympics of gaming, nintendo has the potential to seriously rival consoles in its generation, not just former generations, its a near-certainty that when the ps4 or xbox 2 (3?)come out, they would overshadow nintendo's product.
"Good news: The Wii U is backwards compatible with all Wii games."
Is there any chance it wouldn't be? Nintendo knows how to look after its console (Well usually) and making it not backward compatible would just be ..well..like focusing your console only on playing blue-ray disks.

Not to be fan boyish but
My predictions
I give Microsoft and sony three years before they copy this

good games but gonna be flooded by crap ware it is just to gimmicky
it does not rely seem innovative
gonna stick with meh 64 and 360 and ps2 for a while atleast t

Like the Wii, it will amount to absolutely nothing if it doesn't provide actual games to play.
Really. What in the fuck did I have to play on my Wii after Brawl? No More Heroes 2 aaaand...that was it. In the long term, my Wii has proven to be completely useless.
I have no confidence in Nintendo or their products insofar as to provide me with entertainment.
Though it's always amusing to see which direction Nintendo is taking their business, for yucks if nothing else.

Not to pick on you specifically, but people saying things like this really annoys me -_- Oh water phh it's just like oxygen but with hydrogen. Xbox 360? phh just xbox with better graphics and a smaller controller. TVs? ahh that's just radio but with paintings. see what I mean it sound so jerky and I don't think most people are jerks =/dragongit said:
The name strangly did not bother me, their controler will be interesting it will all come down to cost, controllers cost a fair chunk as it is, Ill just see how this plays out when it launches, but Ill probably buy it but that means Ill also have to buy a HDTV...............sigh this is getting expensive
also the graphical update and controler with compareable button layout to the ps3 and xobx360 means cross platform titles will no longer just mean 360 and ps3 the next Modern warfare will probly be the same on the WiiU at least untill 2015 when soney and Microsoft realease their new consols

Cheer up, the Wii was originally called the "Nintendo Revolution" but Nintendo changed it, Hopefully it'll be the case for this.PhunkyPhazon said:
What is it with nintendo and naming things terribly!?!?
The Wii U?
I understand the "You" part, but why not call it the Woo? I'm calling it the woo, now.
On the other hand, it does look kinda cool.

WEE WOO WEE WOO.
Hehehe.
Anyway, that actually looks kind of awesome. I mean, I'm sure it's going to catch its share of flak for the weird design, but it seems like it's sort of an all-in-one kind of thing, which will be cool.
Oh, and more flak will probably be caught for the name, too.
Hehehe.
