    Wii U

    OK, let's discuss.

    No idea what to think. They didn't even show the console. I didn't expect tech specs in the presentation, but not having an actual console to show is worrisome. We saw a lot of games coming to PC/360/PS3, which is GREAT for Nintendo...but is that how powerful it is? If so, bad move Nintendo. Love that EA is going to be on the system and it seems to have legit 3rd party support.

    Now, that controller, on first thought looks amazing. But how heavy is it? If it's as heavy as my Xoom (which I think is pretty reasonable) then gaming more than 45 minutes will be a fight. And I do NOT under any circumstances want to play with the tablet controller, wiimote, and nunchuk at once. That's a fucking hassle.

    I would also love to get to stream 3DS games to my TV and control using the tablet controller.

      Yeah, it's interesting. Not sure what to think of it either, so far. They turned the iPad into a controller. You can see a little of the DS influence there, maybe some of the half-assed PSP/PSVita-PS3 connectivity too.

      I wonder how long until Sony turns the PSVita into the new PS3/PS4 controller.

            In truth, there are days when I long for the simplicity of the Atari 2600 joystick.

              great it'll cost like $500 and be impossible to find and then I'll play it for a month and then be stuck with a glorified doorstop

              in conclusion fuck you Nintendo

                    I think the tech looks awesome, but I don't think I want to play any games on it. If they had an XBLA level store I would be more excited, because the indie games would probably be insane on it.

                      Nintendo has a weird stance on indie games. They'll take accomplished devs who aren't part of larger publishers but they turn their noses at garage devs. So, I would imagine a XBLA type store but not Live Indies.

                          I can't wait to see what they come up with this. I've always been a fan of whatever Nintendo does. They earned that from me. I still play my Wii but the biggest thing that bums me out about my wii? No easy to use friend list/online. That's honestly it. The non HD shit doesn't bother me, but it's too much of a pain in the ass to play online.

                            Not difficult since you apparently have nothing else to do. Fuck it, I'll pay you to stand in line and get one for me.
