The controls look thrown on haphazardly. What are the ergonomics like for this thing? What is the cost of the Wii U, what are the specs, why should I give a **** about this stupid screen and, most important of all, what GAMES are being made for it? So we have Zelda and jack **** else for the Wii and then this which has what? I try not to get too excited for E3 but even my low expectations were not met. They didn't really reveal anything at all. The name sounds like something that non-English speakers woudl come up with, which is probably exactly what it is. I don't think any core gamer is going to switch to this so it will be stuck in casual land unless it gives them a reason to buy it. That will take more than a new Wii Sports game. --- End quote --- Because obviously Nintendo isn't going to show anything else between now and launch in 2012 right? Seriously, this whining is ridiculous, then again it is coming from the usual suspects. |

This is an extension of the philosophy they used for Wii. --- End quote --- But if people don't like it then it has brand repulsion. Broodwars doesn't like the name, I don't like the name, I'm sure Ian isn't going to like the name, etc. For every person who likes it there's going to be someone who hates it. --- Quote from: GoldenPhoenix on June 07, 2011, 02:08:58 PM ---There is nothing more wrong with the name then the original Wii name. --- End quote --- That isn't saying much. But it is worse because although the Wii name sucked, at least it was simple and concise and there was some elegance to it. Now this new console name has the added baggage of the "-U" suffix which makes it uglier and wrecks the simplicity of the old name. Its still just as stupid, but now its longer. It isn't witty or innovative or creative in any way. For a company that prides itself on its ability to innovate Nintendo should have been able to come up with something more clever and with a cooler looking logo. --- End quote --- I'm sorry but you, Chozo and Ian are not the majority of Wii owners. The fact is that Wii's success has been staggering, and the brand does mean something. Gaming doesn't revolve around you. Nintendo knows how to market their stuff, you do not, in fact if NIntendo did what individuals like you wanted they would still be in 3rd place, or just a publisher. Newsflash Playstation isn't a good name, but it has brand power. Xbox is a lame name but it has marketing power. Wii has a weird, some would argue lame name but has marketing power and means something. Heck even iPod is a pretty stupid name, but once again it has marketing power. I prefer Wii U over "Wii 2" or "Super Wii", it follows in the tradition of Nintendo using symbolic naming. |

After all that 3rd aprty I thought Ian would be most onboard. The controller looks just fine and comfortable to. It isn't a totaly flat tablet, it's obviously built to be held like a normal controller. These freaken screen is the future and I bet everyone will eventually eat their words. Of course Sony and Microsoft will eventually copy it, but only this time the fans will love it. How can anyone be so narrowminded to not see the possibilities with this! It's freakin epic! |

And you are right the controller is a revolutionary input device, it just needs to be used properly and if there are any issues with comfort those should be addressed as well. |

To be fully honest, I probably be better with a Wiimote and a WiiU then just having its own controller from the videos. The problem I had with the whole thing is 90% of the time is was the WiiU AND its Buddy the Wiimote. It couldn't stand on its own. |
