Thats our new Console...

why wii u?

Wii U = Wii Upgraded

No...it's literally meant to be We You. As in, it's a game that is made to play with others, but with you in mind and personalized for your use.

Alright! They moved the Sync button! I'm a happy camper. The buttons on the system look more manageable, overall.

So all we can see of the actual SYSTEM is that tiny thing under the right of the TV? looks to have a disc slot (backward compatibility for wii). but with no specs revealed at the con: by graphics we can assume 'comparable to ps3/xbox360' (possibly better), and no real look at the wii u for size or color or ANYTHING... I have to assume the system won't come out till after e3 2012 (when they tell us how different it has become in the last year). i just hope for a modicum info on the hardware in the coming months. wii u - pronounced "WWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

edit : i guess i could have searched for a pic! neat, a rounded wii.

The controller is fucking disgusting. But I love the concept and how they will still use the old gadgets.

And I also love the third party support and awesome visuals. I'm all over this.

Nintendo games + HD visuals = joy.

I guess no one noticed that the guy was using a WII REMOTE for the controller.

It's most likely backwards compatible with the Wii Remote. So there, no need to have your periods over "STUPID CONTROLLER BLAH BLAH BLAH"

Just use the Classic controller.

being a Nintendo fanboy

I don't think that's something you want to announce...

Ha ha ha ha! I'm proud to announce I am a Nintendo Fanboy! I have been since I first played the Super Nintendo and I probably always will be....though that doesn't mean I hate the Sony or Microsoft, but I can't say that I've been drawn to anything on the 360.

 

[Master Mo]

Oh, and imo the controller looks ergonomically comfortable but that statement is pretty hard to justify without ever holding it in my hands but somehow I see this being comfortable because of how the back looks!

Other then that itseems to have the same amount of buttons of any other controller.

Also I like my controller to be rather big. That`s why I also prefer the 360 controller to the PS3 controller (I say that as a PS3 owner - Sony dammit, put that left analog-stick where is belongs (UP) and also when you`re at it round up the thing a little... we don`t have 1995!!!)

Am I the only one here that likes the controller? Really?

It's something original.

*Waiting for Guild to flame me*

Wait, hasn't Nintendo shown something at E3, and then change it completely before? I wonder if the same will happen to the Wii U.

I know that. That was just my take on it

I really loved the controller when they showed it, only the analog sticks look a bit unwieldy - but I'll have to hold in my hands first to tell whether it really wasn't a good choice to put them there or not.

I hope so. I really hope this is a prototype.

I think they should have named it Wii Fail. This has to be the largest controller in history... besides the ones that were purposely meant to be extra large. But seriously, WTF?!?!? The wiimotes are great because you can stand up and get into the game play of wielding a sword or using a club to play golf. This touch screen remote is a step backwards as far as bringing the user into the experience. This new touch screen remote will cause people to sit on their ass more like the traditional other consoles.

The Wii was the first to get people off the couch to play a game (besides dance mats), and Micro$oft and Phony followed suit with their rendition and human movement into game play. That is what people really want, to feel a part of the game itself. But now to sit on your ass and have to pay attention to 2 screens.... WTF, this is just another DS but with a different view.

You can not swing this touch screen like a sword or golf club. You NEED to use 2 hands for it. This really should have been released before the original wiimotes. Nintendo is trying way to hard at this point.

I will only buy this console for hacking purposes, otherwise I feel ashamed for Nintendo.

Nintendo has COMPLETELY lost the market of the casual gamer. Little children, older people, and the casual gamer will HATE the complexity of this new MASSIVE remote. Too many buttons and controls, and plus something else to keep your eyes on. Nintendo put TOO much effort towards fitting in to every gamer market where they are now losing the market of the children and grandma's. They tried way to hard to appease the hard core gamers. Nintendo should not have even wasted their effort. Complete fail.

A bit harsh... I think it's hard to say at the moment if they have lost the market of kids and grandmas. If they carry over trademark Wii games, many people will recognize them. Like WiiSports, Wii Fit etc. In one of the videos it showed Wii Sports and Wii Fit being played.

Complexity? You have to be kidding me. The thing is a GIANT TOUCH SCREEN. How is that complex? It also has the exact same buttons as the Wii Remote, plus triggers. Really? Complex? ...Wow.

I don't agree with you, but even if they did it would be fine with me.

 

[redsmas]

I hope it has an option to play with it wired (cause of battery life)
