Could the Zombie game be Killer Freaks?
Makes sense to me.

So Iwata said you can see messages from people in your country or those who speak your "language." Because of his accent it's kinda ambiguous if that should've been plural - anyone else thing MiiVerse will support bilingual people/households?

I hope Nintendo having the miiverse isn't their answer to social networking. Or rather I hope the wii u will still feature twitter, youtube, and fb integration along with the wiiverse social network.
That zombie "game" looked 100% mockup to me.
Killer Freaks wasn't in the UK, had colorful space aliens, and was arcade-score based. There are like hundreds of zombies game in development lol. Really doesn't have to be Killer Freaks.
Yes. Please! Complete nintendo setup in black! <3
Sod off. Seriously. You didn't do anything other than make guesses, other people guessed things like the NFC icon before you, and you don't actually say anything about a Wii U Pro controller (you wrongfully label it a Classic Controller).
Furthermore, you covered ALL the bases with the "no system redesign" by saying it could also have a slight, or a full redesign.
Stop fishing for attention.
Could someone explain the "Miiverse" thing? I don't really get what it is...is it just like a place to view people's Miis or something?
I hate the idea of having to own several different types of controllers for one console. They had the right idea with the TV Control button because we like the idea of controlling everything from one simple place but then we have to juggle around all this plastic. Meh.
The online sounds a bit iffy to me, (although I really need to see more of it obv) but I like the Demon's Souls type thing, and the message board/video chat seemed cool. I don't understand the need for a Classic/Pro controller, but it looks like it's well designed (even if the sticks are in a weird place). Could someone explain the "Miiverse" thing?

Killer Freaks wasn't in the UK
Hopefully not with the same FPS.

Is there more information about the message feed? What messages are going to appear there? It looked like from the ad that the guy was playing a game and posting to the game's "wall". So I wonder if that's based on your current activity or if you can choose on the fly.It's a visual representation of who's currently playing what on Nintendo network, with opinions and feedback presented to the viewer, presented in an intuitive, instantly-understandable manner.

This guy better be in Smash Bros Wii U.
Yah to the Ninbook and Nintter, like we're not confronted enough by social media. I don't want more social media or another TV remote. I want a damn decent gaming console.
posted already? Iwata reading NeoGAF comments during the presentation.

The Miiverse seems to be an alternate visualization for social lists of contacts. Note that Iwata said a more familiar interface would always be available on the controller's screen.
Miis from your friends list, and public groups, mill around the games they're playing or talking about to transmit an idea of who's doing what and where. It actually seems rather like the large battle lobbies in SoulCalibur V, come to think about it.
It appears to be a massive expansion of the Mii lobby concept from the Wii that didn't really do much. It appears that you possibly click on people's Mii when they're gathered around a particular game or app to send messages, join the game, get info on what they're playing, and so forth.
Until we see more, I'm betting that all of this is just another social layer and interaction tool built on top of what is actually a fairly conventional online console system. The usual messaging, friends list, game invites, etc would be handled through the screen pad interface. The one where you saw messages being typed and sent. Plus the internal Nintendo Network twitter-like functionality, and Facebook (Nintenbook) concept.
I propose "Natter".Yah to the Ninbook and Nintter, like we're not confronted enough by social media.
You'll get games on Tuesday. Today was always going to be hardware/OS.I don't want more social media or another TV remote. I want a damn decent gaming console.
Poor guy, reading immediate internet reactions can't be healthy for you.
Thank you. That sounds like it could be interesting. Not sure how I feel about that being the screen you see when you first boot up the system though. I would like a more traditional menu like the current gen systems have.
From what I understood in the video, a Wii-like menu system on bootup will show on the gamepad, and the Miiverse will show on the TV.Thank you. That sounds like it could be interesting.

I think you can swap the traditional/Miiverse displays between TV and controller

Yeah, i hope he doesn't take them too seriously.
I actually liked the skit. The acting was awful but I actually like the features and I laughed at some parts.
Iwata mentioned "alone together" and how the Wii U will help solve this issue. But wouldn't the pad just contribute to the issue. someone gaming on a private screen isn't exactly engaging with others around them.
posted already? Iwata reading comments during the presentation.
I only caught the comments at the end of the live stream, but they were pretty mixed. I don't know if he expected enthusiastic responses, but that's not what he got.
Nothing wowed me but it's a nice base to build on. That said I think controllers with a screen will be available for all next gen consoles at some point. I would be shocked if MS and Sony didn't have their own version of the pad controller in the works. It fits in too well with where tech and specifically game consoles are going. I don't know if it'll have wii like success but I think people underestimate the appeal of the pad controller to your average consumer. It's perfect timing to catch the "Smart", connected, tablet wave.

I also liked the fling/flick to screen feature. I know there are variations of it availble, but few people have the proper setup to use it.
