I remember having a screen like that for my GC, it was awesome, GC was a perfect tralvel size console.
I remember wanting one sooo badly.

Oh man, I really wanted that but never got around to buying it.

Didn't Reggie or Iwata or someone mention at an event that we shouldn't pay too much attention to the console aesthetic?
I don't remember, but Reggie did say they only showed 10% of Wii U's potential.

The initial Cafe rumors did point to a SNES style design. Or was it Super Fami?Didn't Reggie or Iwata or someone mention at an event that we shouldn't pay too much attention to the console aesthetic?
If Nintendo has had to beef-up the specs, and they decide for whatever reason to rename the console (legal issues? re-branding strategery?)... then your predicton seems spot-on.
Maybe we'll end-up surprised by a totally, like, tubular awesome radical 1990s-style console design? That could be considered a secret, right?
(and bring on the tesselation and anti-aliasing... please!)
Reggie was one. GEOFF was all like WHERE DA CONSOLE AT WHATS UP WITH THAT and Reggie was like it's just a box bro. lol.
So.. you're thinking multiple, eh?
That would be astonishing. I mean, keeping one final feature secret is one thing, but more than one.. I dunno.
Gaming industry folk are loose-lipped to the point where we'd know something.. right?
They blaze the trails, take the heat for "doing their own thing," and then see the others follow. We should be used to this by now.That's why I'm optimistic about Nintendo having more than one secret feature. Something that makes people say: Nintendo did it first!... again
I fear that the analyst in question may have meet his end shorty after that statement.
Yah.. I remember some entertaining the idea of a Wii U exclusive, when in reality, I'd be shocked if it ends-up on the Wii U at all. Rockstar gave the Wii "consolation prize" games, I think I've mentioned.. and I don't see this changing.
It'd take the unholy mother of all moneyhats for the U to get this as an exclusive, and I think Nintendo would be much wiser to use their money in other ways.

That's what CD said, but the final decision will be up to Square. Nixxes would be a perfect candidate to handle a Wii U port. They've done great ports of TRU on the PS3 and Deus Ex on the PC.
TR is one of those games that Nintendo should be seeking out to be on the Wii U. It has a lot of hype and it's a game that will likely be released after the Wii U is on the market. So there's a chance that early adopters of the console will go with it over the other versions of the game (I know I would). The Batman's and Ninja Gaiden's are great, but most of the people that want them will already own them by the time the Wii U is available. Nintendo needs to focus on making sure those big end of the year titles are on the system.
Ha! Sweet!
Now we need a singing bush gif.
And who would be El Guapo?

to be fair Nintendo did gimp every hardware generation until now...
Gamecube was the most powerful and got no GTA because the little tiny cute disk did not have enough Space - the generation before that was no CD drive for you we are staying with CARTS
I don't know if its all that dramatic with Rockstar vs. Nintendo

after the gamecube we had duct-tape gamecubes with no HD and new waggle madness
the kiddy and casual brand
I do not blame Rockstar if they ignore Nintendo forever but if WiiU is a different beast and all boxes have been checked off by Reggie :there is not a rolleyes gif big enough:
GTA V on the WiiU does not have to be a dramatic megaton level shock but simply good business sense with some Nintendo money and advertising not that GTA needs any ads to sell but to sell on a Nintendo Platform they need a push from Nintendo to change the image just a bit.
anyone have a link to the original WiiMote announcement I want to see that meltdown again
I am wondering if there is a major secret that could cause another shock
Putting the eShop on the Cloud instead of downloading your games?
Partnerships?
Something that makes Nintendo the laughing stock again but they make it a success?

I feel the GTA couldn't be on Gamecube because of size issues excuse pretty weak, when we have technological marvels such as RE2 on N64.
I have just always found it funny that they can get it onto the platforms, iOS, Android.. but it wasn't worth it for a GameCube edition. Not really a "dramatic" feeling I have.. just skeptical.
*shrug*
I could see Reggie offering ad support for 5, especially with Nintendo claiming that they're refocusing on the core audience. But then again, I don't credit Reggie with enough effort to get 4 either: he talked a good game to us fans, but from what I recall, he didn't do anything more serious in his efforts.

GTAs tend the have a polarizing affect when they come out... all the mommy groups get on the media to boycott it for something.
I am Haitian and I remember the Haitian community making a huge deal about "Kill the Haitians" when Vice City came out - I downloaded from Steam on my Mac a week ago and love the games and while walking in Little Haiti I understood all the Haitian Creole being spoken could be the first game to feature that language in voice work. Meh I get it and I know the area of Miami very well so I don't think the game goes too far
San Andreas had HOT COFFEE sex
did not keep up with 4 but maybe Nintendo (the Disney of Video Games) did not want to publicly seek out this kind of heat?
While Reggie will boast if they do land GTA V he is not one to wear the tattoo
Nintendo's family image is very important to them regarless of the "kiddy" bullshit
What I am thinking is most of the people who got into GTA at the start are much older now some have families too and they may very well still love GTA
I don't really see the big deal unless Rockstar really has a hidden dislike for Nintendo the mobile move is good business
Iirc, Rockstar has something personally against Nintendo. I think it was about a N64 game (body harvest? or something) that Nintendo initially asked them to do but later dropped plans of. This left the company in some distress, etc and they've continued to remember this.
I doubt many still have this sentiment anymore but who knows? I feel the GTA couldn't be on Gamecube because of size issues excuse pretty weak, when we have technological marvels such as RE2 on N64.
edit: semi-beaten.

True, I could see Nintendo being actually relieved by it not being on their console. While I doubt we'd ever hear Nintendo come out and flatly say, "Naaah.. we don't need or want your game on our machine," I would prefer it if Reggie didn't come out and declare his desire to see the series on the Wii if Nintendo's true intent is to nurture that family image. It'd be a bit misleading.
This is one of those situations where it could be either side that's being disingenuous, or a bit on both sides.
(That said, I do tend to think that Grand Theft Auto's importance as a "get" for a console's library is sometimes overstated.)
I remember thinking the remote was awesome at reveal. GAF hates change I guess
This is pretty hilarious in hindsight:
I can't see that happening any time soon.But on the other hand I'd love to see Nintendo meet and exceed the Indie support that XBLA has seen, that would be cool.
