Have we gotten a picture of the console yet?
Not outside of the E3 units.

Me too, in some cases.
Some examples slide pads make more sense would be any game that operates on a flat plane, block puzzle games, top-down shooters, and generally any 2d games.
Sticks are better for games operating in "3d space", shooters, racing games, 3d sports games, etc.
But for a consoles (including Vita) that will mostly be 3d games and such, sticks are probably the way to go
I sure hope so. Even more boring than Wii.
I wonder what that round thing is below the D-Pad?
Still dont like the console design though. So...BLAND.
Give it some lights, shape, and a nice logo
Yep the square line looks like a lightThat's what I was thinking, haha.
Here are all the comparison pics he posted.A few Wii U threads ago Shiggy posted pics that showed the original concept and the E3 concept. Looks like the original won.

I just got it wrong. I just took a look at the OAMI database again, and based on other registrations (e.g. for the CC, Wii Remote, 3DS) I think it was always a newer iteration.
Now THIS is an awesome console design!To be honest as long as the console has great games I don't give a damn what it looks like as long as it's functional. The Wii U accomplishes that. I really do hope that Nintendo can get the 3rd parties to really support the thing though. It would be so nice to have a Nintendo console with amazing 3rd party support.
Having the right stick above the buttons looks awkward though.

I doubt it's the vitality sensor, it looks like there are two squares there, and it would be awkward to use.
Edit: NVM, the other one is a button. What is it for?
Ehh, someone else mentioned NFC, and I think that makes more sense.Yep the square line looks like a light
The vitality sensor works by shooting dangerous radiation through your thumb to read your bloodflow
seriously though, VS is probably the best bet
Aaaauuuuuuhhhh, and I'd just gotten to grips with the idea of using circle pads. In particular, after coming to prefer the 3DS' Circle Pad to the decidedly terrible Vita sticks, I was pretty much content.
Dammit.

The Rayman trailer shows them putting the object directly on the screenEhh, someone else mentioned NFC, and I think that makes more sense.
Well, I'm sure these will be better than those awful Vita sticks.
Looking at the grey cable, is it safe to assume it's going to have rechargeable batteries?
What's the button in between the battery indicator and the power button for?

Syncing, maybe.
Or for some other feature that we haven't heard about yet.
Why do I have the feeling that I'll be missing cartridges once the next gen comes and we are forced to use Digital Downloads only and anti-rent/used?No CD drive and limited draw distance in games killed it for me.
I don't understand the excitement... that looks massively uncomfortable.

It's a good guess though

Ace, did you ever buy into those companion device rumors? Like a little vmu that would let you streetpass and stuff?
If they've got the 8-way business of the Gamecube, Nunchuk, and CC(Pro), I'm gonna be pissed. The best thing about the 3DS' Circle Pad is that it's smooth in all directions.
Look at Ericsc's last post. They seem to have changed the back of the controller too.

Yeah, you're probably right, though with the Wii, Nintendo had the button hidden. Would have thought they would do the same with the Wii U

Yeah it was clearly a dev unit in the trailerThey also still have slidepads in the trailer, I believe?
So we can pretend the screen is some magical game portal like Skylanders, whee!!!Why would you wanna place objects directly on a screen?
