The Wii U Has Landed

They'll never top the Gamecube in terms of looks for a console. THAT THING HAD A HANDLE ON IT!!

Patrick was hitting the triggers on that controller with his middle fingers, which makes me think of a weird question I've always wondered.

Does anybody play like that? I mean, index fingers on the bumpers, middle fingers on the triggers (to use the xbox controller terminology I'm familiar with)? I always have used my index for both, because it feels weird to pull a trigger with your middles. I was always curious if I was using it the way most people do or not.

Told ya it was a weird question.

I do. Doesn't feel weird at all. It's weird that people make a distinction and talk about it all the time, though.

Nintendo stuff always looks so crappy.

Don't like unboxing consoles? Don't eat

sigh, feels like yesterday when Jeff and Rich Gallup were unboxing a Wii on Gamespot.

Maybe I'll pick one up around next E3 when there is a slight price drop.

November 30 is too damn far away.

aw man, when brad was playing it It reminds me of my gamegear

Jeez, it hasn't really dawned on me how long this generation has lasted. The entirety of Giantbomb's existence is much shorter than this gen.

@thebigJ_A: index all day

13:15 - "Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge - a game that no one wants in the first place or another version. Nintendo has a weird relationship with Tecmo."

Ouch! Sadly, that's true. :P

Ha, I didn't even realize it was out. Shows my interest level.

I DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT THE FUCKING WII U I JUST WANT THAT GODDAMN FRAMED PORTRAIT OF LEE AND CLEMENTINE IN THE BACK OMFG

If there isn't a kinect style launch stream on the day of launch I'm gonna be seriously disappointed.

The dawn of Wii U:

Ooo, Wii U.

Killer Tofuuuuu!

You just made my week

Looks cool, can't wait to get mine. 30 seconds right? lol.. Just an idea, why not make a music video of clips interspersed with some dumb stuff or something funny. One game I'm very curious about is AC 3, I don't think anything was shown for it on wii u. I'm feeling like it might just turn out to be a bad port.

I loved the part when Brad had to put the stylus in the hole two times. Hell yeah.

i've thought about it, but i've never consciously done it.

"Hey, guys, we got a Wii U. What should we do with it?" - Jeff

"Let's make a video of us trying to balance it on our heads." - Possibly Brad

And that's why I love Giant Bomb.

The Wii U is the ultimate sidetalking phone.

how are the orbis and durango not even announced yet

Microsoft and Sony are playing marketing chicken with each other.

how are the orbis and durango not even announced yet

I kind of wish they did more unboxings, especially if they are a lot like this one.

Man...I want a Wii U. HDMI CABLE INCLUDED!

@ShuaReborn said:

Cool beans, but why did this make me want one...

Because we want new consoles so damn bad and Nintendo is the only one who is putting out!

"HDMI out!"

After watching this video, I looked around in my room for anything I could balance on my head.

I HATE GLOSS

I want that Walking Dead painting behind Patrick's desk.

Dave!

Ooo, Wii U.

I want that Walking Dead portrait of Lee and Clementine in the background

I hate to say it, but nintendo is setting the standards once again. Next gen ps and xbox are going to announce tablet controllers before they are released. Kids love tablets and stupid tablet games. I bet kids a re going to be notorious at destroying them.

It's-a me! Grassroots Caravello!

this is the content i come here for

lol this is what they do with a new console

"its no duke" lmao

I got a homebrewing kit in the mail today! Home brewing kit > Wii U

Prove me wrong!

Unboxing videos of limited editions of games are super lame (though I will make an exception for the Modern Warfare 2 one, since that thing came with those crazy goggles). It's different for actual systems, since those are rare one-time things and a lot more people will be interested in knowing what's inside.

So. Many. Peripherals. Good luck keeping family rooms tidy. I totally forgot about this thing.

Goddamn, where are my wii plastic attachments to go with my controllers! Dammit Nintendo quit dropping the ball on this.
