You mean 1080p "capable" I highly doubt every game will support it let alone run native in it. Also I don't get the love for this controller, it looks bulky, uncomfortable and expensive and naturally prone to a level of damage that no other controller ever had to deal with (now I need to buy screen protectors for my controllers?). I am not sold on this at all right now, glad to see Nintendo finally getting current hardware but I need to see some real games for it, oh and this thing better not use DVD's.....
Here's what I've compiled:
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Assassin's Creed TBA
Batman Arkham City
Battlefield TBA
Darksiders 2
Dirt TBA
The Legend of Zelda
LEGO City Stories
Metro Last Light
New Super Mario Mii
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge
Pikmin 3
Rabbids TBA
Tekken TBA
Tom Clancy Online
Ubisoft FPS TBA
Ubisoft Multi-Sport Game TBA

No, but we're supposed to learn more about their online plans this week. I'm hoping they say something tonight at the roundtable.

Has anyone noticed where the kickstand is on the Wii U controller? There were a couple of videos that showed the controller "standing" on it's own on a table, while you have the Wii Motion controller + nunchuck in your hand. I don't see a retractable kickstand anywhere. Ditto with the stylus, I assume that docks somewhere in the controller?

I wouldn't be surprised if it actually is EA. I'm eager to hear what exactly this "unprecedented partnership" is.Tenck said:

I apologized if this has been answered, but how about Gamecube compatibility, do we know about that yet?

I find it strange that the handsome PS3 slim received so much backlash for its design, yet this this cheap set top box looking thing gets nothing.

No worries Bandit, just go check some videos with impresions. The controller is really confortable and light weight. Saw some guys with medium sized hands holding the controller with just one hand while operating the touch screen. So i was impressed how Nintendo could make a controller this big so easy to manipulate.TheBanditKing said:
However ,as concept, clever or innovative as the Wii this isn't. Also the hardware on this thing won't hold Nintendo for a normal lasting generation, that is, 4-5 years withouth looking outdated. But this time downgraded ports from the next generation platforms from competitors will be more easy to achieve. Most admit im just going by gut feeling, but at this stage in time and at 45nm there's not so much hardware punch you can pack in case of the current size of the Wii U. More powerful than a PS3 or XBOX360? definitly. But no substantially so.
Also my impression is that they are just sampling units withouth functional hardware or not the final ones. Nintendo its playing zero enfasis on the console.

All of this good news and not a single hint of a new F-Zero game? It's only been EIGHT years since the last one! I like Mario Kart and all, but I imagine I'm not alone in hoping a new one gets announced for the Wii U.

Looks like one of those Chinese Wii knock offs. I can see why Nintendo is keeping it hidden.
Destructoid, Joystiq are reporting this MTV Multiplayer story.
However at the Nintendo event just now when asked by press if there is a one online profile across the system Ubisoft said they would like that, but it's up to Nintendo.
Sounds like either Ubisoft knows and accidentally let it out beforehand, or Nintendo hasn't figured it out yet and the guy was just talking about how Ghost Recon will have it's own online setup with easier to remember names instead of codes.

My interest has piqued for nintendo with the WiiU. The only Nintendo console I've ever owned is a GBA but this seems like a very good development.
It's not unique by any stretch of the imagination, moving information from a game onto another screen has been around for years. But again Nintendo are at the right time and right place to implement it well, with a motion controller and integrated touch screen.
If they sort out online capabilities and show off a few more unique experiences I'll be there.
For my use, I think WiiU will really shine when they show the "screen controller" being shared for 2 player gaming: players use wii controllers and the "screen controller" is used separately as a device to help you get through the game- a heat sensor or magnifying glass that you hold up to the screen at certain times, or it flashes up clues that the players have to watch out for as they are playing...
The only real shame is non-multitouch screen.

The WiiU won't be able to play GameCube games and will have no way of playing with GameCube controllers.
This really sucks, especially for the BC Wii games that are played best with GCN controllers. Guess I'll have to keep my original Wii.

Why on earth wouldn't it be real?RedSwirl said:
I'm finding it really difficult to form an opinion on the Wii U (probably due to the lack of 'real' information). I was looking forward to playing Wii games in HD, but it looks like Nintendo wants to take advantage of selling HD remakes of Wii titles rather than building the capability into the console.
Do we know how they are offering Wii emulation?

Ok, I need a final answer on multiple Wii U controller on one system. At first we thought no, now someone is telling me that Ubi said yes? Which is it, or has it not been confirmed?
This is extremely relevant to my interests.

No, and it's doubtful anyone is. This all stems back to a misread Iwata quote about a month ago in which they said they would be looking for outside help; it seemed he was talking about advertising partnerships and stuff, though, but he was kind of vague so people projected their wants onto the comments.Tenck said:
Expect full on shit level online. If you need any proof just look at the 3DS.
(just my opinion, of course)
Not surprising. I was planning on trading in my first system (my Wii) for this thing but I need Cube controller support for Smash, so so much for that.G0523 said:

For Ghost Recon, yeah. This confirms nothing for Nintendo's online service as a whole.dwu8991 said:

The Wii U's system size has really left me worried. They went for form factor and size again, which begs the question: what kind of powerful, power efficient, stable and affordable system you can build with such a small box? I'm afraid the answer is not what I want to hear...

I'm sure this has come up before, but I've missed a lot of E3 coverage.
When I was watching the press conference and Iwata kept saying "you", I was thinking the new console would be named "Yuu".
I like that a lot better than Wii U because it follows the same spelling of Wii and also uses a pronoun.

In a way it's almost likef Nintendo is moving away from actual consoles.
Now they have this giant iPad-like thing as the console.

I reckon all Nintendo games will be 1080p/60fps as they're the only developer that really care about smooth games.
All the multi-platform stuff from other developers will be 30fps or less, as usual.
