No s***. I've seen so many people confused about the concept of Wii U and even now I'm sure that people are still confused.

 

Here's what you should have done. Explain you've got a new console coming out with 1080p HD graphics, etc. show the tech demo of the bird in the garden and THEN say but what we're really excited about, is the controller.

 

-.- at first, I thought the wii u was just a controller, then it would stream the games through the wii.

They should've shown the controller with the console instead. -.-

 

If they could just show what it was streaming from, it would have been no problem.

 

yes it would have been better nintedo from what i hear in the E3 floor this thing is amazing but you dint take avatage of that wen you show it

 

when ubi's conference started, i stayed for almost the whole bit (stopped when i saw boring stuff) but throughout the conference, everyone was saying ACR on tweeter and facebook although they liked far cry and others more or less. when they did show ACR, it was well shown though they kept some things secret like the fact tht u can play as desmond or make ur own bombs. but the gameplay, graphics, storyline (to a certain extent unless u say the magic gate) and release date was mentioned. that is what i call living up to hype.
wii u, a great system with good expectations such as the games but the main questions were answered only and not the other ones. this would work for a game but not for a system that would do much more than just give u some hrs of gameplay. its probable that they havent been able to compile as much yet but i think they stressed on the unique features rather than the whole system. they did not accomplish the wishes of the hypers.

 

one of their main mistakes was naming it after the Wii, nintendo haven't you learned with the 3DS?

 

Well, misinterpretations or no, we'll see when the console and it's games come out. lots of potential here, despite the misgivings about the controller. i for one like it.

...affording it is another thing entirely though, heh.

 

Rest assured... the controller comes with the console.

And I won't expect the console to be THAT expensive either. Likely $299.99 but who knows?

 

I thought that the Wii U was just a controller for the Wii; didn't think it was a whole new console at first.

But does it work on the Wii?
