I'd say Wii U still has one big secret which nobody has thought of yet.
Perhaps it's a tablet computer after all? Perhaps the E3 2011 console was a mock up?
That would be a serious megaton, but it makes sense, especially in the light of having not really seen the console itself. In fact, I think this guy is 100% right.

You are kidding right?
Weird coincidence, watching the news absent-mindedely and the reporters exact words were 'Hype for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee has reached the boiling point' :lol
How are you celebrating her majesties' birthday, gaf?

>low expectationsI have such low expectations that if we just get majoras mask 3d I will be happy. I can't not be disappointed!

I believe you mean coronation.
That the controller is actually the console as well? No. This is Nintendo we are talking about. lol
I expect a game where nintendo has already made 80% of the assests for it. A sequel to one of their best selling games on a platform that could use a couple more games. A gem they know there are plenty of fans of but tons of people still haven't played for tons of reasons. Not that high of expectations... Its no starfox metroid thats for sure.>low expectations
>Majoras Mask 3D
:/
You know we have actually seen the Wii U itself right?
Right?
I doubt it's possible to make put everything in such a small space and power it up with batteries. And what about the cables to the TV? Doesn't make sense at all to me.

Right?
So, this Nintendo Direct is prerecorded?
First, you cn't pack such horsepower in such a tiny space and think your batteries will last even 1 hour. Second, we have already seen the Wii U, and in the leaked controller wee can see a lot of cables that probably go to the Devkit.I guess you're right, but they have phones that can do HDMI to tv. With technology the way it is today, having power in a small form factor would not be very difficult. How are they going to cut costs with this thing? If the controller is going to have all this functionality, you are not going to get that bad boy for $49.99. I would not be surprised if the console is the controller. I mean, who really saw the Wii waggle controllers coming? I sure didn't. Ninty could do something wild like this to separate themselves from the 'pack".
It's even less than that, just 60 mins. And that includes the 3DS block.
So, what is expected?
They've said we won't have:
GamesPriceDateSpecs
What does that leave?
- Analog sticks
- Clickable sticks
- Analog Triggers
- Change button/stick orientation
- Multitouch?
- NFC
- Square button - changes between TV and controller screens?
- Achievements/point system
- Social gaming integration
- Digital downloads
- Demos of interactions like last years demos/videos
- Head tracking
- Vibrating stylus
- HDD
- CC
- Zapper
- NFC card
- Club Nintendo
- Channels like on Wii and 3DS
- Purchases from cellphones w/ preloading

I know we have seen the "wii u", but has been confirmed that, that is the console? I can't argue your point about space and power, but I am enjoying speculating until the final reveal.

The achievement system in particular sounds really awesome. HYYYYYYPE!The Wii U will be getting achievements, cloud storage, social networking, avatars, and much more, according to a developer Wii U Daily spoke to. The source, working at a European development house with several Wii U projects in the pipeline, says Nintendo will unveil many of the new Nintendo Network features at E3 next week. Heres a run down of the rumored features:
Wii U achievements
Nintendo will introduce an achievement system where players can earn achievements in games much like Xbox Live and PlayStation Trophies. However, Nintendo is said to be expanding the service where players who accumulate a certain amount of points get access to additional features. We have a lot of freedom with the Wii U points system, we can add brackets for players, e.g. if you amass X points you get promoted into a new bracket with awards such as new MP [multiplayer] skins. While the source called the feature Wii U points, he made it clear that Nintendo hasnt settled on a name. Its basically what weve been asking Microsoft to do for years. Players who earn points by completing the game should be awarded. We can do that now.
Wii U cloud storage
We previously reported about Wii U cloud storage, we have some more details on that. The cloud storage option will be a few hundred MB, will be free to all players, and will only be used to store save games and player profiles. Itll launch in 2013.
Social networking
Nintendo will also add deep integration of social networking features to the Wii U, including both Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook. Players will be able to upload screenshots to their Facebook accounts, auto-Tweet game progress, and record and upload game videos to YouTube. Theyre working on a UI overlay for the OS to add Twitter and FB notifications, but so far we havent seen it. Theyve reserved a lot of system memory for stuff like that, the developer told us. There isnt much documentation about it in the new SKD, but theyve told us itll be available in the future.
Wii U avatars
Nintendo Network on Wii U will introduce new avatars with a lot more features than the original Mii avatars on the Wii console. Players will be able to use the Wii U controllers built-in camera to take pictures of themselves and create digital avatars that resemble high-definition Miis. The Miis can then be imported into games. Theres an API for the camera to scan faces and turn them into low-res 3D versions for games. But its still buggy as hell and it depends a lot on the kind of engine youre running, the source said.
Wii U development and game ports
Additionally, the source mentioned that porting current gen games to the Wii U isnt as easy as originally thought, and that games that have been developed for the Xbox 360 are much easier to port to Wii U than PS3 versions. A lot less headache involved because their architecture is similar. Technically, you can just recompile X360 to the Wii U and itll pretty much run, but PS3 to Wii U is much much trickier. He said that the latest SDK hardware is final, only the software keeps updating. Weve spent a lot of time creating our own tools for the X360 this generation, and weve already tweaked a lot of the tools to work on the Wii U. But if you code on the Wii U from ground up and have to use middleware, its probably gonna be tougher than doing an X360 game from ground up.
I don't think so, Sony and Microsoft both said there will be no console reveal @ E3, they could have said something like no comment. Furthermore Reggie said earlyer this year we would get WiiU news before E3, and today it is technically before E3.

I hope the box itself gets a makeover. This
just doesn't do it for me.

I have zero idea of the credibility; mock if old.

When the Wii U was announced and Nintendo did a great job at confusing everyone what it actually is, they came out and said that the controller just sends and receives information from the console which does all the work because some people thought it was a handheld.I know we have seen the "wii u", but has been confirmed that, that is the console? I can't argue your point about space and power, but I am enjoying speculating until the final reveal.
