This seems like they took the whole GBA connectivity thing they had with the Gamecube and took it to the extreme.

One positive thing to take away from all this: Wii U will be THE go to platform for all your Silent Scope needs.

@zombie_bigdaddy:  The point I'm making is if Nintendo did release a console today that was graphically superior to the other consoles, it won't be that long until Sony & Microsoft release their next generation of consoles, so it's a good move on Nintendo's part. 

As with other Nintendo tech, I'll be more interested to see what 3rd party developers figure out how to do really interesting things with this tech.

This trailer accurately portrayed everything I love about games and technology. I can't wait to buy this new system. Yes. I can't wait. Fuck you Nintendo.

ima just leave this here: 
 
  

That controller looks nuts, but all together it looks awesome. I'm hoping the controller doesn't cost too much either. I never use my Wii and I doubt I'd ever use a WiiU very often but if Nintendo bring out some awesome games for it (they totally will) then I might snap and buy one.

Hmmm, sorry I was hopping for more. Not hardware wise, or even software announce wise, but I was hopping Nintendo would not rely on a novelty again. The only think in the launch trailer they showed that seemed like a realistic product was Zelda.

The concept is good, none of us will know if the hardware is good for a while, but the general direction seems to me the same as the Wii... all neet ideas, no substance... Unlike the DS, a new idea with real substance...

very interesting

How about you watch baseball on another TV I am trying to play a game here.

@unholyone123: I totally agree with you. I was just amused by the similarities between the commercials (even - arguably - the mood of the music!). I'm not implying that Nintendo copied anything. I'm prepared to concede that it was an entertaining and pretty rad coincidence, rather than saying "look nintendo is so lame lolol". I guess I should've made that more explicit!

This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen in my ENTIRE LIFE.
FUCK

Coming at the end of the world!

PREDICTION!: There will be an angry birds game for Wii U where you pull back the slingshot on the controller and it flings onto your tv screen... and it will be the biggest selling game ever.

Okayyyyy... I really wanna see how badly this is going to fail

It will probably fail like all Nintendo products have since Nintendo released the DS and the Wii. With lots of money in the bank and systems sold.

Pie in the sky! Unless it sells gangbusters, I can't see developers taking advantage of many of the features shown. But, does look interesting.

That looks bananas, let's see if they can get decent third party support and have a good price and MAYBE I'll consider getting one.

Completely uninterested. Its almost like nintendo is going out of there way to create shit that I will hate. At least they managed to come up with a name worse than Vita though.

Nope. No way. Nintendo got me with the Wii, I won't go back again.

Looks like a glorified version of the Sega Nomad and we all know how that turned out

Really the Wii U? Not only is that a worse name then the "Feel" or "Cafe" but it really only looks like a improved Ipad that connects to a Wii. Sure some interesting ideas but I feel it will be poorly implemented just like the original Wii. It is really too bad seeing as I thought nintendo could have been the most impressive in E3. Just more gimmicks (Seeing as they have gone head first with 3D now it's an impressive ipad?)

This is what's is meant to be attracting "serious" gamers back to Nintendo? Are you fucking yanking my chain? 
 
Throw a Mario and Zelda game at it and hope people fall for it (and most will)?
 
Not me, I won't be subscribing to this at ALL!!!

I don't know how to feel about this.

Meh...
 
*goes back to play 8-16 bits consoles*

Stupid 2.0

So it's like an Xbox 360, but it's also like a Wii, and it's also like a Nintendo DS.  All at the same time.
 
Done. Sold. You've told me everything I need to know.

It only does...EVERYTHING?!

*dun dun duuuun*

Yay for Nintendo solving problems with peripherals that nobody had in the first place. Aside from Wii Fit games themselves, where has the wiimote revolutionised the game industry? Heck, most of the top 20 games to come out in the past 12 months (Wiiware and VC content excluded, even) hardly use the Wiimote at all. I couldn't possibly care less about a portable screen controller.

Do not want.

Absolutely useless and I very much doubt that all the people who already bought a Wii (because it was simple incidentally), an iPad and have seventeen giant TVs all around the house already will bother with it. Then again...

If I can take a dump while still playing a game I was playing on my TV, THEN THIS WILL BE THE GREAT CONSOLE OF ALL TIME.

Friggin mind blasting!

"Hey it's time to watch some baseball."

"Well piss off to your bedroom and watch it there, dick head. Can't you see I'm playing a fucking game. Douche."

I'm actually very exited about the Wii U
