They make awesome games. They market said games. People chat with one another while playing awesome games.
I don't know. Doesn't seem that hard.
Now if they were to try and communicate everything in a single advert? Yes, that would be stupid.
yep, am pumped for Miiverse.
Why would you do that?

Someone can use them to start a new thread with info. I don't think I will because I'm typing with an htpc mini keyboard.
what you see when you start the wii u
breakdown of the mii population in the menu. note that the last miis are miis from your country
note you can change the miis expression. that's kinda neat lol
note you can see what your nintendo friends are saying anywhere on any device

Yeah true.
I wonder if they could somehow implement a filtering system, through usage of keywords, and automatically spoiler.
It wouldn't be particularly hard to implement - just certain keywords relative to big parts of a games plot.

HERE WE GO !
.mp4 for the rest of the gif makers and some of mine for now.
mp4 (audio out of sync but that does not matter for gifs)
UPLOAD ALMOST DONE
I have to be at work in 5 hours and I still need to sleep so I can't go on right now but man their is to much material here!
I wonder when someone will mash these up with that episode of The Big Bang Theory with Sheldon talking to his Spock figurine
Nintendo trolling/teasing at its finest
edit: okay not quite
looked similar though!! D:They mentioned the Nintendo Network working across 3DS and Wii U and future Nintendo consoles. That would indicate an account-centric setup instead of system-generated friendcodes.

Weren't there rumours of Microsoft implementing some Demon Souls inspired messaging system for their OS? Seems like Nintendo beat them to it.
Thread's moving too fast for me, so I'll just add some general thoughts:
*I hope it launches in black. It makes the controller look so much better. Keep in mind Wii was shown in multiple colors but only white was available for a long time. Both white and black at launch isn't impossible (they did it with 3DS) but I think it's unlikely :-(
*Classic Controller Pro is something some of us kind of called. It only makes sense. This announcement makes it look like they're not gonna try to have more than 1 active tablet, though.
*Sticks and clicky was pretty much confirmed, but I'm glad that it's real. He didn't mention analog triggers but I'm sure that's the case. Ironic how the controller innovator Nintendo has a controller that looks identical more or less to 360 Well, ignoring the screen for player 1 of course. I'm fine with the analog placement though.
*Wiiverse didn't amaze me but it's a solid concept, trying to integrate social media like that. A nice but not essential addition.
*"Have you upgraded your scanner ding-dong?" Lol something about that is funny and creepy coming out of that old dude.
*Not clear on usernames or how 3DS is included in Wiiverse just yet. The wiiverse names other than old guy were simple ones like "Ted," "Jim," and "May," and not unique handles.

How do you think Nintendo will open their E3 Press Conference?
In 2006, they had Miyamoto using a Wii remote to conduct an orchestra.
In 2007, it was Reggie being happy with sales talk.
In 2008, it was Cammie talking about her wrist, and Shaun White snowboarding.
In 2009, it was New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
In 2010, it was The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
In 2011, it was The Legend of Zelda Symphony.
I think they may debut their press conference with a major third party game (like Microsoft and Call of Duty). Third party relationships seem to be one of their new focuses with this console, so opening with one may seem wise.
So, what do you think Nintendo will do and what do you think would be wise for Nintendo to do?

Not excited about what they showed at all. Pretty much everything they showed I can already do on my TV now but better. I will be excited to see the games, but these features will be a waste on me.
Also how in the hell are people defending the grandpa video? Self aware or not it was really bad.

IdeaMan vindicated ! (i needed to do this post
- NFC sensor under the D-Pad, you heard it first here
- TV button near the power one
- Wii U classic controller
- No system redesign
- And a few hints about the OS features, multi-tasking, how it will occupy a lot of memory space (like the Miiverse) etc, spread since the speculation thread 2 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and others posts)
I need a tag !
Now you wanted to say this to our faces?
"Get your own job"
"Book me a flight to paris"
i don't even know what's going on.
If people would stop bitching about it, people would stop defending it. True story.

Pikmin 3. Then a super fast montage of first party Wii U games including 2D Mario, 3D Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid and F-Zero!

All of that looked good, really. Only problem is it's Nintendo. I'll believe it when I see it running on consoles after launch.

I'm not much of a social person. I don't use Facebook or Twitter' but I can see myself enjoying using the Nintendo service for some reason, especially after adding tons of NeoGaffers.
Its built in on an OS level. Don't market it at all. Do like PSN and XBL do. Make sure its intuitive, and make sure every person that turns on the console sees it (they have confirmed that the MiiVerse is what the console boots to). The rest will handle itself. Marketing should focus on the games, and maybe the screen. But probably just the games themselves.
Online infrastructure isn't really new, so I don't think they need to market it tbh.
Watching the video Iwata said it could be either or.

Oh man I am not liking how it looks when you first switch the console on. It looks so cluttered and those popups look like they will get annoying really fast. Same with the popups for all the different levels in the games. Speaking of which, how exactly will that work? Will EA/Activision/whomever be forced to incorporate these systems into the game? I can't see that being the case, but if they don't force it, it may as well just be a feature of the game, not the system.
As for the controller, it looks better, especially in regards to the sticks, but they really need to move the Power button away from anything else.

Just gorgeous!
Besides your other grotesque statements (people just have to follow the links i gave), the post about the Wii U design was clear about the more likely scenarios (with in number 1, the no redesign), and i answered to you in the closed Nintendo Direct thread pointing toward to a no redesign than a redesign. Your bitter against me since 2 months is delicious

Was this basically Nintendo's E3 conference?
So no Fire Emblem?
So no Fire Emblem?
Iwata specifically said phones with web browsing capability, so I guess it's meant to be a mobile site you can log into.
I guess no plans for actual apps just yet.
All those interactions and all those social features are welcome, of course.
And yes i'm precisly saying that i think those different demographics can alienate each other. In the end that's always one device and if it's used for many things by many people, well.. it won't always work well. I think the father who wants to play a core game and also make his young son play something simple, would rather use to different devices for that.. Maybe i'm wrong i don't know.
What i'm saying may be wrong but it's a legit worryness. It's simply that i think not every side of a market can be mixed together.. That's why there is diversity in products... People want something for them, not for everyone. A 15 years old dudebro won't like the idea that his console also being used by grandma to browse internet and sista to play pony porn.

Dude, i & everyone else knows Nintendo will have great 1st party games on Tuesday but as any wii owner will tell you, it's all about the 3rd party companies!
At last years E3 pretty much their entire conference was about the Wiiu controller and a year later they reveal a "classic" style controller which is basically a x360 controller. That tells me that 3rd parties demanded a separate controller which is a very bad sign imo.
I just don't see 3rd parties putting in the extra effort to make games that FULLY take advantage of the Wiiu pad.

No

no, it was just a small pre E3 video to create even more hype i suppose. The Conference is on tuesday and should be really big.
