Rare close-up shots of the Wii U

[Valwin]

WiiU controller is NOT big. It's normal in size. It most definitely is the size of those Arcade Fighter Sticks made for SF4 PS3.

Heres the WiiU Controller size:-

Agreed! The Wii U controller probably isnt that much harder to hold like my 7in tablet. I think the controller looks fine. I'm kinda disappointed about the lack of true analog sticks but I hear that the sliders are pretty comfortable and have more pushing room than the one on the 3DS. If that's the case, I'm OK with that.

people in the show floor say is very good to hold very conortable

I really wouldn't worry about a Nintendo consoles main controller too much anyway. TBH they have amazing form on that.

i don't know, the whole minimalist simplistic look of the system makes it looks like it's aimed at 10 year olds, just like the wii did. especially with the screen on the controller.
but i'll wait until i actually have the chance to play it to decide whether i like it or not.
for now it's just a wii with 360/PS3 graphics. we don't know anything about other features yet, do we?

edit:
and i mean software features, not hardware.

Minimalistic look? Isn't that why Apple products sell so well? The system looks sleek and beautiful! One more thing, can anyone confirm the port(s) next to the fan. Is that a digital audio out port or the 4 USB ports. If that's the USB then they're awfully close

I'm guessing this controller is bigger than a DSiXL? Either way I don't care how big the controller is very much hahaha

 

[SamAsh07]

Take a scale and measure 26cm, you'll get the length of WiiU controller. Compare with other controllers and DSi XL

End result : PROFIT!!

 

[Bladexdsl]

i'm surprised they let the guy take them pics

 

[SamAsh07]

Ok I got another pic, this one I made myself while doing research on specific lengths of Wiimote and WiiU controller.

 

[Bladexdsl]

yeah big difference look at that thing it's f huge!

 

[SamAsh07]

Naw, Wiimote is 14.8cm long, while the WiiU controller is 26cm in length, it's not double the size of a Wiimote. More like x1.75

wii u anyone?

How cute!

I like the design. It's like a mini Xbox 360, but it's styled like the Wii.

Also, about the size, the PS3 Slim exists. So I'm guessing the Wii U can be the size it is and still have power.

wii u anyone?

NO!... that's atrocious, the A button goes to the right!

Looks good. Microsoft should go back and redesign the 360 again since clearly their idea of a "slim" console is still effing huge and Nintendo seems to know a thing or two about form factor with their consoles.

Doesn't look that big, specially if it was compare to wiimote plus.



The things (controller and console) look like hardware. There isn't "10 year old" look, there no age on it at all. Ridiculous...

You could say the same thing for everything. The GameGear, the Gizmodo, Tiger Electronic games... In other words, I did not laugh at your post.

The 360 slim is small dude :/ It really isn't that big. It's probably about the same size as the fat PS2... maybe Fat PS1 (length wise).

What is this...I don't even.....what is it supposed to be, a badly designed touchscreen...

I'm not even a fanboy for any console or handheld, or for any company, and this still pains me to look at.

Gawd daymn Ninty, what de....****.

The name only makes it burn my eyes worse.

Actually Shadow is almost as far away from a Nintendo fanboy as Guild without going into Sony fanboyism.
