I want my controller with 3D screen! Give it to me!
XOXO
That patent still makes me chuckle.

Its alright to be hyped, but not that hyped. <_<
why can't we let series like Baten and Chrono R.I.P.?
the only reason I want Xenoblade continued is because it was so poorly handled but I don't really want to go back to older series or have them work on stuff like Disaster
I still think this would be totally awesome. I'd love to be able to be playing a single player game on the TV and having a friend's game streamed to the controller. If Nintendo can create a good cross game voice chat solution, we could each be talking about the games we're playing and I could look in on his whenever there was a boss battle or something.
I will be elated if this is possible.
I've said it before. Clickable sticks, or really any feature, will only be added if third parties deem it important.
Nintendo doesn't care what forum dwellers have to say.
What third party wouldn't want clickable sticks?
Or are we going to have to wait for Activision to bust their balls into making "Wii U Pad Pro" after 6 months, which includes clickable sticks?
Nintendo Vs. Capcom!Iwata promised 3rd party partnerships remember!
Nyko will handle it.
So.. what do you guys think about pack-in games?
The news of 3DS' sales improving after a price drop and a few Mario titles makes me only more convinced that a 2D Mario title that shows-off the system's unique features could be a huge deal.
Mario would also serve as a bridge of sorts - casuals feel very comfortable around him, Nintendo fans obviously enjoy him, and the Mountain Dew-flavored core gaming crowd that Nintendo is trying to attract aren't as offended by him as they would be with a Wii Sports-like game.
Thinking back to when Nintendo did best, it was often in generations with a Mario pack-in game. The NES with SMB, the SNES with SMW - these served as universal experiences for everyone who owned the systems. If you met someone who owned a SNES, you at the very least had that game in common with them, creating a weird gaming kinship. As far as how important it is, I think the universal experience provided by a pack-in game is woefully under-rated..
3rd Party Upads could be interesting. But Nintendo should plan on a deluxe model with better screen and features.
but it is kind of a given like the Motion Plus that the Upad will get an upgrade during the WiiU's life as the tech costs become low enough

Believe.
Believe.

Any third-party who actually plays the games they make and have tried to play them on controllers with clickable sticks. Those things piss me off, I'm always accidentally clicking them when I'm getting more into the gameplay. And they serve no purpose, if you want another button then just add one, or make the shoulders click-in like the Gamecube shoulders. It's not like you can click the stick in and easily move the stick while it was clicked in - if so then at least there would be a good functional reason for the sticks to be buttons, rather than just trying to add more buttons to a controller.What third party wouldn't want clickable sticks?
Hold on there for a moment. I didn't say the GPU won't be based on anything. I said it's possible that it might not be based on VLIW. I also said that I don't see the final GPU having really anything in common with an R700 other than ALU count. Also looking at the GC and 360 GPU, I can't agree with your assessment about the usage of new architecture. I also still believe you are underestimating their capabilities based on that. I'd like to believe they are smart enough to make it work if they choose that direction.
I don't see 40nm being cool enough and I don't see 28nm being stable enough on top of not being main nodes, though I originally felt 28nm would be something they might try for. Considering process history and Nintendo's history in choosing those processes, 32nm is the most likely choice. 45nm and 32nm are main ITRS nodes. We already know the CPU is using 45nm. 32nm would be the most likely choice for their GPU. At the same time 180nm and 90nm are main nodes and were using in GC and Wii respectively.
Also I'm very familiar with that article you linked to and at one point I even had a "Cayman Jr. hypothesis" about the GPU. But seeing how VLIW4 doesn't seem to make the cut for the 7000-series I let it go. And as I said the 360 wasn't VLIW-based so it can't really be compared to any Radeon GPU other than maybe the amount of unified shaders. Here is the article where someone from ATi said Xenos is not VLIW-based. Although the article seemed to make a mistake and said each shader had 4 ALUs when it had 5 per shader making for 240 ALUs.
And considering Nintendo has no history with TSMC and good history with IBM and NEC, one of that latter would be more likely to make the GPU and at 32nm, though they are also supposedly able to make 28nm as well.
Anyone think they will release a 3DSxl that doubles as a Upad? the top screen could be nearly the same size, though I have never used a DSiXL, so I don't know if it would really be all that comfortable... Still, we all know a 3DS revamp will come in the next ~18 months hopefully they add a second slide pad, and that rubber edge that they have on the classic controller's analog stick would be nice.

No but Miyamoto said in an interview (the same when he didn't say he retires) the Wii U configuration can emulate the DS setup. He was kind of joking and didn't say it will happen, but I think sooner or later, DS virtual console can be a reality.
Back in July 2011, Aonuma said that he had been involved in Wii U's development for about 2 years since "the stage where we started to bring things all together and decide what to make of this new system." He adds that it was around the time of when he started to involved in the meetings and most of his efforts were primarily focused on the creation of the Zelda HD tech demo.
Vigil Games had pointed out some hints on the state of Wii U dev kits:
- One of the first third-parties to receive dev kits. Nintendo said itself that it decided to give dev kits out earlier than usual to select third-parties.
Every time Neogaf goes down I come here expecting new Wii U news having broke...
...no new Wii U news. ;_;

I wonder if Nintendo will tap Vigil to make a dark version of Zelda. Or have them make some other kind of exclusive series.

Well, they don't have to call it BK3 (and likely won't).
And new console means a new userbase to sell a series to, so making it successful it just a matter of marketing.
But Arkham told me it would be less powerful!
And I am going to stand by that until we get a new kit that proves otherwise.
It will have some factors that are superior like Memory amount(though bus speeds are slow) but other things (GPU) are slightly less than what we have come to expect from the current gen systems. I am sure if a game a is built from the ground up on the console it will look nice, but porting anything from the HD twins over will take a hit.
Looking at what they are bringing to the table, Nintendo is more concerned about price than power. It is almost like they are competing with the Xbox 360/Ps3 and ignoring what ever the xbox3/ps4 turn out to be. Of course that is just my opinion.
You mean... something like Darksiders II?

lol
buy them out... or have them become 2nd party first
I still don't get why we should even trust/believe you, when numerous sources have said its stronger. and then there's you..And I am going to stand by that until we get a new kit that proves otherwise.

I wouldn't be surprised.
They might see Darksiders encroaching in on Zelda.
And doesn't THQ own them?
How are they doing financially?
Pretty bad.
If the rumors are true they're about to close the Japan division
and reduce the AU team to 14 people.

Dude, just stop what you're doing. Do you want to repeat what happen last time? Hey mods, get those details from him
Edit: blu, dont forget he called himself a dedicated Nintendo fanboy!
