Rare close-up shots of the Wii U

[Valwin]

At the end of the last day of E3 2011, Nintendo took the Wii U out of its locked position in a TV stand for a rare photo opportunity. Of course I was one of the few people still lingering around the Nintendo both until it closed for good and I got some rare shots of the new console!

QUOTEThe Wii U didn’t spend too much time in its free roaming form. Nintendo reps were worried the entire time and it wasn’t long before it was rushed to a nearby room for safety

I really don't know why, but I just don't like the screen on the controller

I really like that idea. Especially if you can play all the games on just that screen as an option. No more pausing or letting myself die for toilet breaks.

Is there really any need for the gloves?

I would have tried to snatch the WiiU and run.

It would be worth a few months in prison to just try.

I kind of like how it looks. I hated how it looked in the official material's front view pic, but seeing it from all sides, it looks pretty good actually.

 

[Paarish]

I'm not gonna say anything bad or good about it until I play it.
However, those pics are very nice

The console looks pretty "alright" lol.
Its smaller than the 360, by looks at least.

I spy an HDMI port

Yeah, its visibile lol.
I was looking for GC controller ports.

We already know it's smaller. Nintendo gave the dimensions in the specs...

It's been stated dozens of times that it will not be Gamecube-backwards-compatible...

Does anybody read anymore? 75% of the "I hope it does this!" stuff I've seen has been answered for days.

Classic controller :/ ?
I didnt say anything about backwards compatibility.

Honestly, i think the Wii U design is great, the only concern i have about it is the size of the console, it looks too small to have too much processing power...

 

[LightyKD]

I really hope someone would make a side by side comparison picture of the Wii and Wii U. As for the GameCube issue. I have a few ideas but need to find someone that can implement that idea in a user friendly form.

by releaseing a HD console now nintedo can make it slim since day so that why is small

It's already been stated that the old Wii controllers (Wiimote, Nunchuk, Classic, etc) will be used.

It could be reasonable inferred from your question. Why would they include GC controller ports if they're completely removing the ability to play those games on this system? For the miniscule number of Wii games that would support it? They wouldn't bulk up the console and raise the price with the extra components, and if they did, at that point there would be no reason to remove GC compatibility.
