My kids barely play the Wii anymore, so my need for a family friendly console is practically gone. If the U isn't packing some power, I'll save my money for PS4 or Xbox Loop.
The Wii U will be at CES for press only, but Nintendo isn't showing anything beyond what was already shown at E3 2011. Expect no new info.

"We're going to launch a new console this year but we've made no progress since E3 2010."
Are they speculating against their own stock?

Nintendo of America, working with the 2012 International CES management, will offer demos of the upcoming Wii U console to members of the media who did not see the system at the 2011 E3 Expo. However, Nintendo will not have a booth at CES, nor does it plan to include any games, experiences or information beyond what was available at the 2011 E3 Expo. Production and development efforts remain on track for the Wii U launch, which will take place between the start of the 2012 E3 Expo in June, and the end of 2012."
The E3 Nintendo Gifs work so well for pretty much everything, there will be meltdowns after this

So yea, nothing to see here.
Some people will over hype this out of pure desperation for Wii-U info of any kind and be horribly disappointed no matter what happens.
Welcome to 2005 Nintendo.
I just don't care for Nintendo any more...maybe if they were to put some games in iOS 5...
Well a reaffirmation of a launch in 2012 was nice, I dont think it makes sense to hold everything until E3.
don't think creating brand confusion and competing with the ipad is the way to go rather than stick what made them unique and gave unprecedented sales and popularity (which was then squandered)
[Nintex];33588096 said:Wow, this is the first time Nintendo confirmed the thing is actually still in development in over 4 months.
End of October isn't four months, as far as I can tell.
[Nintex];33588655 said:But Nintendo thinks we Europeans don't know about this country called Japan.
Reggie was on GTTV like 4 months ago to say nothing and that aired in Europe, so that's where we stand by Nintendo's own standards.
Important thing is Nintendo verified that we will be able to buy a wii u by this time next year.

Cut down the number of people who want it by 40% and this is perfect.
Nintendo, you continue to blow me away.
1. Who said this was true?
2. Nintendo always keeps its stuff for E3. They tease at GDC, they reveal at E3.

What I want?
For Nintendo to show a goddamn non Mii/ low tech looking game. One good, fully in development 1st party AAA gameplay trailer would be good. I mean damn ... the thing is coming out in 2012 ... Shouldn't be that hard to show something that looks good. :/
Even more so when you remember how long ago we saw that damn Kid Icarus trailer.
What I expect?
Bird Demo. :[
So lets hope ...

1. NOA
They didn't say they don't have anything new, they just won't show it.
Same shit as far as the public is concerned.
Showing NOTHING between two E3s isn't normal. Unless it's a radical new unveal, which it isn't, because this is Nintendo. It wouldn't kill them to show something at CES and GDC.
A better quality video of that bird tech demo would be nice.

Well, at least we'll get to see the new Xbox at CES... right?
I'm more than tired of hearing this shit.
I'm not saying Nintendo never makes mistakes, far from that. But to say Nintendo is screwing up "because it's Nintendo" just makes me teeth grind.
It's not like it's the first time. The Wii was "revealed" at E3 2005 with its codename still "Revolution" (though it wasn't a real reveal more than a tease and the console itself clearly wasn't ready), then we got the Wiimote reveal in September, only a few months later, but after that? NOTHING. Until E3 2006. Again.
This is not the first time Nintendo is doing this and it certainly won't be the last.
