Are you just as curious as when the Wii was coming out with motion gaming?

Nintendo products are only appealing as doorstops.

At the moment: No...I have not seen enough good use of it for me to say that it is 100% appealing to me. I need to see more good use of the tablet in games, so far I have not seen anything that I didn't already expect. ZombiU seems to be the only game I have seen that has used the tablet well but only seeing it for one game is hardly making me massively excited for the future of the tablet controller.

Those are things of the past, gimmicks that Sony quickly got rid of because they realized how bad they were, thank you Sony.

Yes... Why wouldn't a standard controller that offers more input be interesting?

It did, but with all the things it is missing I lost interest. It seems Nintendo is determined to skimp everywhere they think they can get away with it.

From a 3rd person analysis, not at all. I need a hands on demo though.

Doesn't change the fact that the tablet controller is just a stupid gimmick LOL, i'm not a fan of move, eventhough it works better than Kinect.

Very much so. Don't know why people think gimmicks are heresy around here. People throw that word around too damn much.

It seems like a risk, but unlike some people I will actually wait until I play it before I consider it a gimmick.

I love new kinds of tech.
And while the New WiiU touch controller isn't something all that new i'm quite interested by it.

It looks like it would be very uncomfortable to hold for a while while you game. For instance i love my tablet but its very uncomfortable to hold for more than an hour. and the battery life must suck, as well as the heat it generates.

I like that it can double as a house portable. If I want I can play any VC game away from the tv I can. I can even play old school games online away from the tv. I like the options the added screen will give developers. it really seems like a good idea. If you look at what has happened this gen, we keep getting the same games over and over. They aren't even all bad, but the same thing gets boring after awhile. It reminds me of the platform/sidescrolling genre near the end of the 16bit gen--just make something else. Wiiu has the potential to change this.

If you ask the same question 6 years ago, yes. Unfortunately, I have severely overestimated the creativity of developers in developing new control schemes.

The tablet is the most appealing part of Ninty's new console, and the only reason besides exclusives to even buy Ninty's next console. I think it has potential to do a lot of very cool things, will we see all the cool stuff at launch, probably not, but it has the potential, I just hope third parties see the potential too.

The idea of playing games from the console on the screen seems kinda cool for some purposes. Not interested in it other than that, but I haven't seen it in person, in action, with games meant to show it off. So I'll find out for sure eventually.

I can not think of a single thing that can not be done better than what a tablet controller offers than the walk away display. So basically a giant gameboy. Everything else a tablet is worse for. Wait maybe for a game like checkers or chess you could pick your pieces directly on screen which would be easier than trying to select them through a controller input but I mean thats about it.

The main problems for sony, microsoft and nintendo is when they spend millions on these crazy ideas that rarely pay off is they put extra pressure on to developer companies that have to include these crazy things that dont work properly into their games. Wastes time and resources.

Not in the least.

I would honestly say that I find Reggie more appealing than that controller.

I'm indifferent to it as of now.

Really need to see the thing in action and see how it's utilized in some games before I pass any judgement.

Yes, even if 3rd party developes don't come up with anything too inventive having a few more input options and the ability to stream games to it like a handheld appeal to me. I'm sure there will be games that make interesting use of it too though even if most don't.
