Nintendo Direct Gossip

The commercial was horrible, and it lacked any actual gameplay graphics or gameplay.

Done before you posted

Well I was referring to my entire post as yours contains a lot of speculation in addition to the facts.

Gawsh, I'll rewatch it and clean it up.

If we can play with only the PRO controller, then I'm game.
But nintendo, Change the fucking name already!
its ridiculous.

There are almost definitely going to be games that require the Tablet.

Well you obviously missed the point of the whole presentation. It was to showcase the features of the Wii U, in specific the controller. Graphics and wow-factor will come at E3, dont worry.

they made the damn tablet controller even bigger! and at least the Pro Controller will be wireless?

 

[chris888222]

I'm quite impressed with the show actually.

I wonder what will they reveal at E3.

yeah, i bet that generic usb port is for recharging

 

[lostdwarf]

Holy shit! A controller with all the buttons in the right place for the first time EVER!
and did Nintendo just take on Facebook?

didnt see that coming. I like it.

360 controllers are near perfect excet for the stupid wonky analogue placement. the wiiUgamepad and pro controllers look great.
Liking the miiverse, realtime popularity of games is pretty cool too. video chat built in is great so no need to buy addons.

All in one tv remote! *imagines hours of fun annoying tv wars. Tv remote verses Wiiu remote! bring it!

This has made me excited for the wii U
Thanks Nintendo!!

That Miiverse functionality looks like it could be terribly annoying in the wrong hands.

Why do I imagine that there are going to be thousands of Navi accounts yelling at other players to listen...

Watching the recording on their site. So far, I'm damn impressed. A lot of innovation that I think would stick with manufacturers even if the WiiU bombs. Also that Pro controller better be bluetooth, and people better get it working on Windows/Mac.

That Zombie thing was rather hard to watch...besides Non-Specific Action Figure

Fully finished the recording. Color me very impressed.

Tod was the most radical thing about the conference and I cannot wait for a videogame about his wacky zombie adventures with OctoG and Non-Specific action figure.

It has Bluetooth, but I think it's 2.0.

clickable analogue stick... and something each stick being two sticks really... coz when you click and hold down... your on a different... like... level dude.

Between this Pro controller and Wii backwards-compatibility, I see no reason for there not to be GC compatibility, but of course we won't get it in any form other than Virtual Console, I'm sure.

It takes space, power, and most important of all (for Nintendo), money.

My guess is that it will require additional hardware, which in turn will cost more in production. Nintendo is trying to make profit.

inb4 "nintendo sux cuz it copies 360"

Ehh, that is good thing. The 360 controller has won several awards and praise for it's design. It's THE perfect controller. I wouldn't mind playing on a similar controller for the Wii U.

360 is not the perfect controller, It has one of THE worst Dpads of ALL time.

That was fixed a while ago.
