Oh lol just noticed the placement of the start/select buttons. So much better.
He'll be fine. He's pretty confident, he even calls out to the Nintendo fansBetween this and the other thread, I'm imagining Ace as like a hyper active kid on Christmas morning.
Though.. now I kind of feel bad for the guy who posted it. I hope nothing awful happens to him.

Yeah, it's represented as full gray (#9da5a2) in three of the registered Japanese trade marks. Only one figurative trade mark features both gray and blue. Nintendo can use both the monochrome logo and the polychrome logo, both in Japan and the United States (once the marks become registered). Perhaps it's only the controller that features the monochrome logo, everything else will maybe be with the other logo. While the monochrome logo sure looks sophisticated I believe it could confuse consumers even further as the color is very similar to that of the Wii logo (which uses #8c8c8c). In videos and ads it would be smart to use both colors to differentiate the product from its predecessor.
The sync button was a tiny red circle on the back of the controller at E3, so those square buttons either have some other function, or they are dev kit related (since they aren't labeled).
Also worth noting is that the controller is a bit wider now, there is some white thing underneath the controller to the left with a cable attached, and the green/white thing up top could either be plugged into the controller or is also underneath it.

Haha, nah. I'm just enjoying not having to do anything on a Saturday for once, and really enjoy GAF. Especially when there's something new to discuss.Between this and the other thread, I'm imagining Ace as like a hyper active kid on Christmas morning.

Not even multiple tabs.

I think it'll be fine. It still pervades the gist of it.
Guys...
Yup.. we'll be below the 400 hour mark pretty soon. Time's a'flyin!
Who said I was even using it?

Well, I doubt Nintendo will supply any new press images for this updated version of the controller, so unless you use images from patents or make something on your own I guess you are stuck with the imagery supplied at E3 last year. Those images are very big anyway and in good resolution, so I wouldn't worry about them being a bit arbitrary. The banner I'm using for my E3 thread isn't very complicated, though I have a separate, animated banner which features some Nintendo stuff. Not sure what to put in there. Microsoft has got Halo, I haven't decided on Sony yet and EA/Ubisoft will get Battlefield respectively Far Cry 3.

Yeah, the "original" design was actually released after E3.

You're not paying attention, guys. When did I said I was still using my original banner?

You said "kind of irrelevant". I assumed you were still using it.

I hope I'm not the only one excited to see the next 3D Mario. I'm hoping we see some sort of teaser at E3.

Me too. That is slick.
I guess that's why Pitchford is excited about the Wii U controller as well

Coming back to images of analogs has dulled the pain of that bullshit.

Maybe I'm being to jaded and pessimistic to soon. I fear the change to the Wii U controller will just give some developers (and I'm afraid even Nintendo's developers) more reason to ignore the pointer controls for shooters. This potentially means me having to give up an entire genre, at least on consoles, I've grown to enjoy thanks to the Wii remote and nunchuck.

I think that pointer controls was always a lost cause for the Wii U.
Some games will have them, but not enough people gave them a chance on the Wii for anyone to care.
Doesnt work.

I'm not that worried. As long as devs are putting local multiplayer modes in their games, then they will have to include Wiimote IR pointing.
