Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
What would be a good idea - Nintendo uses your Club Nintendo profile as your Wii U profile....

Yeah, Ani has clearly gone under the knife with those jugs.

This has been discussed a lot.
It would make sense to make them one and the same.
Still can't afford a smile...
I wonder if it's going to be a mad dash to usernames in the first week, or if we can secure them via Club Nintendo account.
If the former, where we have to register a name to a system without Club Nintendo involvement, getting that Wii U online ASAP will be a pretty high priority for lots of folks.
(and horribly beaten)

Hey dude...
I'm sorry, but you can't use that username

the video was made because of all these stupid rumours about the wii u being super weak and all this conflicting anonymous "dev" "information". he pretty much explains why anyone who believes these rumours are basically retards that know jack all about anything technology related (my words not his)

Yeah.. about a day or two ago.
I'm not too worried; I have one of the most boring, unimaginative names possible. But it's something easy that I can hang-onto for a few decades.

Yes it's been posted and optimization seems to be the clearest issue, not that what was said is wrong.

Damn...
well aside from the obvious photoshop edits, it is the actual photo i took with him.
actually i got down to that size through careful diet and exercise.
Not sure if I'm going to use my GAF handle or my XBL handle. I'll figure it out around E3 though!

I wish. Is it still press-only?
*chuckle*press...journalism*haha*
Also Bioshock Infinite hasn't been announced as a port has it?

Reviewers definitely do. I can't tell you how many reviews PSP reviews I've read that say, "Y has done an admirable job of adapting X's vision for series Z to a portable system, but it ultimately falls short of its console big brother." I don't know whether they actually perceive a dip in quality, or if they don't feel the pressure to slather the game with hyperbolic praise because it's on a lesser system by a B-team that Sony doesn't give a shit about. It doesn't help that the portable versions are like the 5th game in the series; series fatigue can't help these games on the review front. That said, I'm not entirely sure the general audience picks up on who actually makes games. Do people walk into Best Buy, see Ghost of Sparta, and say that, oh man, sweet, a new God of War but this one's by Ready at Dawn...I can't hang with this shit because my boys at SSM didn't make it? I'm hesitant to believe that.
That's true to some extent. But do people perceive this when they buy portable games? Are consumers buying Mario 3D Land because it has shorter levels suited for quick play or because it's a new Mario game?

Despite being in the developer interview videos specifically made to hype up the Wii U at last year's E3, Ken Levine has said Irrational has no plans to make a Wii U version of Bioshock Infinite.
Hmm.

Though I love Nintendo, I can see them doing a shitty thing like that. Seriously!! :O
Who knows. We might see something at E3.

Sony.
They're competing with an all-time juggernaut when it comes to handhelds and they're not making substantial progress with the consumer, I just wonder why they keep at it and rather use their resources for a fight they can more than hold their own in.

Yeah, it's not like the Upad has everything the classic controller has or anything...
Why would I want to play virtual console games with a giant ass controller?
The classic controller plugging into the wii remote is just stupid design.

So should I expect my friends to lug over their DRCs when they visit? What if they don't have a Wii U?
The real question here is: Would a "U-pad" have the same control layout as the DRC?
edt: Wait, by "U-pad", I meant a wireless Classic Controller made expressly for the Wii U, not the DRC itself. Sorry, my bad.
Not only that, but it would be nice to have a spare controller if purchasing a tab is prohibitively expensive.
what about analog sticks

Finally, a home port of Boong-Ga Boong-Ga will be possible!

That's just crazy enough to work!
Or sell less than the original
Now that you mention it...
I'm assuming (since Gamecube is not longer supported) IF they confirm Gamecube games for the VC... we're going to play those games with the classic controller/pro... no?
We can't play multiplayer GC games with the Wii U controller so I think that's the best option..(at least for Nintendo)
maybe they can come up with a Wavebird Wii U version? :-/
That's what I would assume. If the Wii remote works, I'd guess that most if not all things that plug into it also work.
Although I will miss my GameCube controller..
Yeah... me too
btw... I found this:

I think it'll be great if they allow all VC game to be played on the tablet's screen. Any reason why that wouldn't be an option?
They'd have to make a special Classic Controller with analog triggers. Many Gamecube games (including SSBM and Mario Sunshine) are unplayable without them.
Unless they choose not to release those games... *shudders*

Yeah, you gotta be a member of the gaming industry or the press to get in to E3. For gaming industry, that does NOT include working at a game store
And to be a member of the press, you have to have a business license and a solid history of a year's worth of gaming articles, to which you have to have personally authored some of them.They are not. I'm expecting that to change at E3 tbh.

I thought you could get in for $700 or some shit. I remember hearing people on GAF say they aren't part of the industry and were still able to get in.

I think BG is the one who first said that there are rumours that nintendo has made them analog.
Anyway E3 isn't that far, guess we will know everything for sure people. Just under 2 months.
