              		 Tsk tsk, nintendo and their gimmicks. I think they are going for the worst controller ever award.

                		 That is weird and rather bulky looking. Since when does Nintendo steal ideas from Sega?

                Incidentally this means the Nintendo press conference is up right?

                    		 Remember, this controller design is most likely not written in stone, remember when sony came up with the batarang design for their ps3 controller and ended up ditching the idea? this is no different, if the reception for this new controller ends up being negative, nintendo will end up changing it, I think the contoller design is decent.

                      		 I am so disappointed with Nintendo this year. The Wii U? Seriously?! That's their new console? All that hype about "Project Cafe" and the rumors about Nintendo's new system, and what we get barely sounds like the upgrade from the Wii that the fans wanted, and why have a different screen as the controller? I can't imagine playing this new Wii system with something like that.

                      Plus, one of the screenshots says that you can play without the TV. Great... so this sounds more like a new handheld than a gaming console. The only real upgrade that I've seen from this new system is the 1080p comparability and the new USB ports, which I assume is used to charge the controller. I was even hoping that it would be more powerful than the PS3, like the rumors stated, but that doesn't seem to be the case at all. It's just more of their gimmicky crap.

                      The only thing I could really hope for is that in the future, maybe Nintendo would release more info about what's going to be in this new console. But right now, I really don't see this new system becoming a success.

                          		 Actually, after taking a look at this video, I kind of take back some of the things I said about the new system.

                          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3RkNcKDs68&feature=feedf

                          The stuff it can do there, from what I've seen, actually looks pretty cool. The drawing feature looks nice, and I like how you can use the controller screen can interact with the normal TV screen. It's also really cool how you can browse Youtube videos on the controller screen and play them on the TV screen. So yeah, forget what I said before, this actually might work after all.

                          Also, I heard that they're going to make a new Smash Bros game for both the Wii U and the 3DS.

                              		 Sigh...I am very disappointing by Nintendo. Yeah, I know people will be telling me to just give it a chance, but I was really hoping for Nintendo to make a hardcore gaming console this time around and not another gimmicky thing for the casual crowd. This thing is even more gimmicky than the Wii was, and that controller looks like the most uncomfortable controller in the history of video games. Not to mention the system looks just like the original wii (only now with curved edges), and the name is just simply "Wii U". Not the upgrade I was expecting. Nintendo better have some kick-ass games for this thing that don't heavily rely on that tablet controller, or I'm not going to be giving them my business this time around.

                                		 I'm not keen on the name, but it looks cool. I don't like being stuck in front of a tv, so I'm interested in how the controller screen would work.

                                    		 I thought the Remote and Nunchuk was ok but I had hoped Nintendo would go for a more traditional controller this time. While they've technically done that, it looks clunky and like it will not be fun to use at all. Thankfully there was good stuff for 3DS otherwise this Nintendo showing would've sucked complete ass.

                                          I can't speak for others, but it'll take a lot for Nintendo to get me on board this time next year. For one, they could start by getting some good third party exclusives and not ports of games we'll be seeing on PS3 and 360 months before. Second, redesign that whole joke of a controller, it's as bad as the Jaguar one.
