I have a feeling that the menu on the Wii U Gamepad will be the same as (or very similar to) the 3DS menu.
I had this idea... if this image is too big then I can just link to the image. It's not that funny but it's immediately what I thought of when seeing the social aspect. I'm also horrible at Photoshop... so sorry.

I liked the cheesy skit, I started laughing at Non-Specific Action Figure and the whole call me grandpa bit. Also interested in the game that was in it, am I the only one that thought that they were almost trying to hide it by not showing a lot of it? Seems kind of fishy.
call me grandpa bit.
http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo_directMan, non-specific action figure was great. I missed the live version and just got home. Is there a place that has the video archived? I'd like to watch the entire thing.
But games aren't supposed to be fun. Anyway, that clip was Oscar worthy.Some people are too serious, especially those calling the hipster segment really bad. It was obviously meant to be super corny and not serious. He was talking to an action figure than an old man he had randomly met online asking to be called grandpa! Why would you take anything other than the features being shown remotely serious?!

It totally reminded me of the company that used to make stuff like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxUmSyZ7Ylo&feature=related

As an actor, all I could see was a couple of struggling LA actors that got to work that day and seemed to have a pretty good time of it.
I really, really hope it's easy to avoid all these social aspects. I just want to play the games lolI had this idea... if this image is too big then I can just link to the image.

In other words, It wasn't a real game.
Ezalc, I think the game was just a made-up bit of CG meant to show what you'd do in a game if you were stuck. I don't think it's real.
I thought they weren't showing a lot of it because it was just some quick footage they cooked up and isn't a real game.
oh my god that was the worst. THE WORST!
In online, too soon to tell. In social: by a long mile. Not even mentioning the OS & mobile miiverse integration, the only fact there is a keyboard and video chat packed-in fits perfectly in our twitter/facebook world.
I thought it was funny because I saw that exact same line of dialogue happen in some anime, and I thought that it'd be really weird if somebody were to do that in the US.
Nintendo Japan taking the piss out of American culture with their insensitive, unfunny skit.
Is that Diabolik in the background?
Awesome features, awful presentation. The social aspect with packed in keyboard & videochat, full mobile integration, being core to the OS to the point it's the main boot feature, and integrated in games a la Dark Souls... Genius. They got social right. They perfected their Mii breakthrough. All put together it's the smartest design I've seen since itunes/iPhone.

wtf is a porn curtain?
Just the obvios use of putting content on the TV from the tablet and the curtain-"feature" that was shown.
The thing is, though... it's weirdly *distinctive* footage. There's tons of ways they could have spent less effort on those zombies than they did.
My brain's convinced it's not a real game. My heart's having difficulty explaining why it's so unique-looking despite that conviction.
Part of me is wondering if, if it's not a real game, it's an utterly *bizarre* nod to the queen's jubilee. It's certainly weirdly British for no fathomable reason.
Wow, guess they really shot themselves in the foot, huh?I don't really have the time to look (or even skim) through 30 pages of reactions, but I thought I'd chip in with my two penneth:
I couldn't help but be left convinced that Nintendo haven't got a bloody clue of where they're going with this. The message is muddled, contradictory, and the jettisoning of the 3DS would have me very worried if I owned one - they didn't even put a 3DS in the background of WiiU advert, yet phones featured prominently. A hint of a near-future admission of hand-held defeat, perhaps?
I was on board with the message of the Wii. The execution left a little to be desired though and after a couple of years I was thoroughly bored with it, but it was a step in the right direction for Nintendo. This just looks like two steps back, a half-mile trek sideways and a rollypoly out of the nearest fire escape.
Perhaps they'll prove my gut wrong, and really I'd rather they did, but I wouldn't be willing to put any amount of money on it.
The question is really how naive Nintendo is when it comes to creating all of this - it won't even take an hour after launch and this nice grandpa who gives advice on games actually turns out to be a 60 year old dude who likes to show his junk to young children.
They're basically combining ChatRoulette, Facebook and Forums directly into the OS - And since this comes from a company that has absolutely no experience with online communities, you'll see a hell of a lot of penis. You'll see penis everywhere. Tons of penis. Kids who just wanted to play Mario will see tons of penis. Then they go ask how to solve this or that level and they'll only see penis. So they ask on the forum and they'll see spam that links towards penis.
Oh Nintendo, I hope you're well prepared for the wave of penis that's heading your way.
If penis is everywhere it loses its power to shock!

I'm pretty sure video chat will be limited to friends and if not you'll be able to set that. Maybe comments can be flagged? Who knows it could turn out terribly but then its kind of the fault of people who feel the need to draw penises everywhere. Maybe they'll just ban people with enough flaggings from the service.
This is what everyone wanted anyway. No friendcodes. Messaging. Voice chat. Sharing game content. Seeing who's online and what they're playing. It's not like one step at a time it's all of them at once. This is crazy for Nintendo.
