I thought Wara Wara was just a small, limited copy of Playstation Home but mixed with a limited copy of Vita's Live Area game comments and likes.

Move away from your computer screen. Take a deep breath. Realize that not everyone will have the same views that you do.
Move on.

Mostly kidding, by the way. But a lot of social stuff.
Good, so there's less time spent on that stuff during the conference

Haha, Sony will dump the Move regardless.
Wait what is that screen at the bottom from?

Not really sure what to make of this yet. The info he provided was interesting but I don't know if I like the implementation. The tiles seem like they would clutter quickly (needs folder firmware already lol) and the MiiVerse could be annoying, no like I want a bunch of peoples comments filling my tv screen, as I'm already wincing at all the drawn penises that will likely be a part of that.....
Software is king so thats what its going to come down to and they better have it in spades because NSMB and PS360 ports aint going to cut it for me.

I ate the Wara Wara Fruit and now I'm a crowd man.
Tuesday is their press conference and I don't ever remember Nintendo disclosing full console specs.

This is funny to me, just because I was reading the E3 2006 Sony Conference thread yesterday, and your favorite "smart" company was gushing about MySpace. A lot can change over the lifetime of a console!
I don't do much with my Facebook page, but if I did, I wouldn't want it integrated with my videogame console. Would like to keep my real life seperated from gaming world trolls. And I don't want my timeline updated with, "Hey look, I got an achievement!" every hour.
Don't get me wrong, it does look damn similar.
But were Nintendo's competitors called shameless when they adopted the NES D-pad? How about the SNES's shoulder buttons and diamond shaped 4 button face layout? The N64's analog stick and rumble? Let's be honest, Microsoft's controller didn't really invent anything. Other than Nintendo "shamelessly" agreeing to conform with the clicky sticks the PS360 use, just about everything featured on the Wii U Pro was already on the Gamecube pad or earlier.

The best thing was finding out that the E3 conference will be all games, all Wii U!
They will repeat all they stuff they showed today at the conference. Come on, I feel it in my gut.Good, so there's less time spent on that stuff during the conference

Also shows Monsters Party, might be a Monster's University "Mania" game by Papaya?
They did Toy Story Mania and Car's Toons: Mater's Tall Tales for Wii. Seems appropriate.

Are those....
The guards from Buckingham Palace?
As Zombies?
28 DAYS LATER FOR WII U CONFIRMED
The gun represents the zombie game from the skit, which I *suspect* isn't actually a real game, just something used as a frame of reference for it. The shot of the smartphone accessing the miiverse clearly attributes a zombie-esque comment to the gun.

At the specifically non-games, hardware preview?
You're blowing my mind, man.

yes they were...every time
Cool gif I found.
Didn't make it.
Nintendo did have the MAX on the NES. Didn't they say MSFT based the Xbox off the Saturn or something previously?

Yup, it'll be word-of-mouth on the console itself, if you gather enough supporters for a smaller game and keep on playing the sales could go up.
Nintendo trolling hard!
Thought that looked familiar.

They pretty much already have.
Haha I was wondering why you were so positive. The stick placement is all kinds of goofy on that controller.
There's actually a nice side-effect here, too. Games that don't use the second screen should be able to be played entirely on the pad, adding a bit of extra functionality as a tradeoff for not making use of the second screen.

As far as the emphasis of Nintendo Direct and the upcoming conference goes, remember: Nintendo received a lot of criticism last year for not being clear about the direction of Wii U, what the online would be like, how many tablets/players there could be at once, and so forth.
Nintendo is going to spend a lot of time laying that out and explaining the core concepts of the system, so the conference is not going to be all games.

So the little Box under the TV is supposed to be the WiiU?

What if they packed in something like a Mario Party 10? That idea sounds a lot like a Mario Party mini-game, it'd be an awesome game to get people together.

Maybe. I think it's a little different, though, in that people will probably actually use Wara Wara and it hopefully isn't totally worthless garbage.
If this is Retro's game, I'm going to be displeased.
So Microsoft is the only one doubling down? Crazy.

So in this case take Vita's Live area game specific feed, where you can comment achievements or any other game events from other players in a OS standard way.

Thank you all for replying
The Miiverse social network as described is basically Twitter for Nintendo games. They probably did copy a Twitter app interface both because it works and it's familiar.
Last time I heard, Apple was building their own map system so they wouldn't have to depend on Google Maps.
The social stuff is core to the system, it would be beyond stupid to build it on top of somebody else's infrastructure over which you have zero control. What happens when random Facebook intern breaks the APIs like they did a few weeks ago? The entire Wii U network goes offline?
There's nothing preventing them from adding optional linkage to FB and Twitter accounts later.
Yeah, it's not exactly new, but it's not exactly the same either. Nintendo's version works for games you don't own (which is a way of increasing discovery) and show data from users you're not friends with.
The Gun was shown in the Zombie Game segment too. So I guess its for that.
