Guys my head hurts...

Okay, Reggie, send out hot women with WiiU controllers chained to them.

So he clearly just said Wii U's new controller. So that isn't the console? I have no clue whats happening.

Alright, he said ''Wii U's controller''. The console definitely isn't the tablet itself.

is there a console or is it a controller

they keep calling it controller....  so i'm sure there's a seperate console for it.

I can't wait to hear the crew's thoughts on this tonight.

Every year I ask myself the same question ...

What dark magic does Nintendo use to make these developers excited about their crazy control scheme?

I'm betting voodoo.

This was... pretty bad so far.  Unless the Wii U (ugh!  Worse than the PS Vita) can pull off some impressive, next-level type things, then this is an almost total wash.

At least I'll be getting Kid Icarus and the Luigi's Mansion sequel.

IGN's front page shows a picture of the controller and the CONSOLE.

So they spent this entire time just showing off the controller to a new system that they refuse to show, ensuring that everyone is totally confused and still doesn't know what the hell Nintendo is doing even after a press conference trying to explain it.
 
Way to go, Nintendo.

I have a feeling the look of the actual console isn't finished yet so they can't show it off.

So if it's the controller you can use your Wii controller on the controller? What. The. Fuck?

What does everyone think of the controller?  Honestly, I think it's really ugly. 

Oh come on! That's it?...

is there a console or is it a controller

That was confusing and disappointing.

I'm so confused, why didn't they show the console itself if that was just the controller?  (ALSO HOT DAMN.  That's a big fucking controller)

Well,. my wife isn't going to let me blow 300+ bucks on a controller. Dammit

So if it's the controller you can use your Wii controller on the controller? What. The. Fuck?

Controller looks f-in giant.

the console is on igns homepage

It's over already... ? I thought it was going until 11.

Nintendos conference wasn't that great...

It doesn't look too bad, the console on the other hand...

This is starting to make a lot more sense.

It's weird...it's big...uhhh

OK good job Nintendo, you had me there with the Tech Demos, and no games. You pulled one on me. 
Cool to see 3rd party games on the Wii (U) 
3ds games looked decent. 
 
Over all i was bored at 1 point, Miyamoto was fun, and the end was probably the show stoper

Chug-a Chug-a Chuga-Chuga-Chuga

Wii U? more like Fu, I'm here all week :D

Ok, so that clears that up. I wanna know why they couldn't have just said that themselves...

Ahh okay I see it on the IGN home page,.   Wait - Why didn't Nentendo show us?

What the fuck people? Why is there a dozen pages of people going "What?" 
 

New console. 
Controller with a screen. 
Information on the screen (Like inventory) and connectivity between the screens.
 
What was so hard to understand?

Yah this was way confusing...  At least give us some specs of the new console.  instead of just showing us the... controller.

I have mixed feelings about the WIIU

I mean they mentioned it as a 'second window' and thats true, i can see some form of potential here, but it seems like a gimmick..although it does appeal to both hardcore and casual gamers.

The third party support is quite a good thing, but graphics wise it seems exactly like a 360 or a PS3, so whats the selling point here? the controller? ugh

All in all, i have no idea how this is going to pan out, i look forward to it.

3rd party stuff was genuinely exciting, but that controlling looks so fucking uncomfortable.

Wü?

Couldn't Sony copy this pretty quickly by making the NGP/Vita work as a controller for the PS3?

It's a 360 with a tablet for a controller. This will have some applications for gaming, but will generally be problematic because it is difficult to quickly switch between the TV and the screen in your hands. It could also lead to a lot of cross-ports between the 3DS and the WiiU, such as the announced Smash Bros.

Also, WiiU is a horrible name when said by an English speaking person.

I think maybe we just had a little too high expectations...

This conference was bullshit. I hate you Nintendo. :(

So they made a successor to the Wii, that can do everything it could do, it on par (or possibly higher, fuck it I know) with the 360 and PS3, and has an insane controller with a billion different functions on it. 
 
Alright. 
 
I am intrigued, Nintendo.

Nintendo never even showed the actual console during the conference.
