Actually kinda pleased by the controller redesign, looks more iPhone sized than iPad sized, which is good because the controller before looked fucking awful.
But I am not liking how they're already pushing out yet another controller. You know how Sony always plays "gotcha!" with those memory cards? Yeah, hate to say it but Nintendo does that with peripherals. I mean the Wii had the remote, the nunchuck, the Wii Balance Board, the Wii Speak, the Wii Motion Plus, and various other third party peripherals. The 3DS already has the Circle Pad Pro and there's the rumors of the new stylus and front depth camera. The Wii U is already launching with another different controller.
All in all though the console has changed for the better. I still won't buy a console if it's not completely next gen feeling (like if it's still producing just "slightly better" graphics than the Xbox 360/PS3 then I don't see the point) but I probably won't hate it so much. A touchscreen on a controller is a good idea and they've finally changed the design so it's not so goddamn unwieldy.
its so nice to see Nintendo not playing console power catch up, like they did with the GCN and Wii (in fact, last time they had the best tech was with the N64 I think.) and actually making a console that seems like a next gen console. The only thing is I hope the menu isn't just floating squares with Miis, something like a solid 3DS-like menu would be awesome too. Also, Todd better get a sub-series to show off the WiiU features >:3
