Man oh man oh man. What is Nintendo doing? They are calling it the WiiU? This is a continuation of the Wii. Man this is going to set these forums on fire. Coolyfett will not say anything negative about the WiiU, but he has to chuckle about it. System Wars is really about about to go crazy. Watch.

Did they say a price?

Did they say whether it would be backwards compatible?

Looks strange and uncomfortable to hold the controller. Hmmmm...

It looks really uncomfortable to hold that controller for a long period of time. I'm a little worried for Nintendo that this might fail.

What are the specs of it? It doesn't look HD. I am just so incredibly dissapointed because I love Nintendo and their games, but this time.... All the games they announced I can get on my 360.

I'm really excited for this, at the start when it was announced I was sort of "Meh" but by the end my mind got blown with all the games and also developers they announced.

Why are you worried? Nintendo has billions of dollars. Nintendo will be fine. The controller is interesting. Its kinda cute.

It is a whole new system, not an add-on for the Wii. That's the one thing that has bugged me today: the name. It is causing confusing by just showing the controller and people are unsure if it is an add-on or the next console. But, it is a WHOLE NEW CONSOLE :)

So yet another gimmicky console from Nintendo that finally has the power and third-party support of an Xbox 360 and Playstation 3? I wish I could say I cared.

From the looks of that video trailer they put up then ya its coming to the Wiiu which is great cause from looking at what the Wiiu is to do its like combining both the Wii's gpu and the Wiiu's gpu together via wireless which is pretty awesome and I bet it'll be running BF3 at Medium settings. And No I don't think the Wiiu will fail at all. Its gonna be a huge success I'm getting one for sure when it launches.

Coolyfett tried to tell everyone it was the continuation of the HD generation with Nintendo. No one wanted to listen. Nintendo is making their brand better, but this is in no way NEXT Gen at all. It is current tech. Nothing more nothing less.

apparently the controller will have the same video processor in it as the new system since it can run the games. either it will be the most powerful controller ever or the system isnt guna be powerful as they made it seem to be with showing some of the games coming out for it.

still early and will need to see lots lots more about it.

I think one of the biggest issues is not have it turn out into another novelty like the wii after a short time

i'm in awe. at first i was thinking "whoa is this just another peripheral?". and the games being showcased were nothing impressive and looked like the stuff we had seen at the wii's unveiling. but then again, look how the wii is now. and then they showed TP in HD. and i cried. and then i realized it was just a tech demo. and then they showcased the graphics. and then they showed all the cool multiplats it'll get. and then they showed ninja gaiden 3 before anyone else and i was like "WTF?!?!?!?!" and then i was like "too bad they only have those tech demos on the showfloor, i really wanna see real games". yes i structured my post like that on purpose.

The same Sony developers that laughed at motion controls before calling them the Holy Grail of gaming?

I was pretty blown away by the presentation. The controller is kinda huge, but I think the possibilites of what could be done with it are awesome. And to all the naysayers about how the graphics aren't next gen blablabla, thats because the console isnt even done yet. Most the clips we saw probably aren't even on the console itself. And besides even if they are, no one is developing games that are so beyond what we currently have that you'll see a noticeable difference. Any release/early game is ONLY going to be able to match current gen, not exceed. not until developers are fully aware of the capabilities of the console itself. So be patient until we see what it can actually do.

Look on the bright side all the great games that PS3 & 360 has can now be ported over to the Nintendo WiiU with no problems and if mama wants to watch Oprah re runs all you have to do is use your controller to continue gaming.

I personally didn't find it confusing at all (it's not difficult to grasp that Wii U is a new Nintendo console with true HD support and better hardware), but the way Nintendo presented it was piss poor. They could have gone about it in a far better, easier-to-grasp way for the knuckleheads out there.

the best console reveal ever.....minus the actual console lol.

You prolly wont need the new controller, but will miss out on majority of the features offered by the new system, if you don't have it.
