don't know much about power, looked like fun family games, shitty ass presentations, Iwata videos are better, Ubisoft crushed everybody else. It's basically another family console, which is not a bad thing, but a lot of wasted graphical power for sure.

Uh...a console with hardcore games like Mass Effect, Assassin Creed, Batman Arkham City , and a brand new Zombie exclusive make it a family console?  Oh, and Trine 2, which this particular version is Wii U exclusive, same with ZombiU, & the newest Ghost Recon Online (which is a multi-platform title) heading to the console.  Dude, look Mass Effect, and Arkam City are ports, but so what?  Dude, no matter how you look at it, but those are classified as hardcore titles, and the only reason Nintendo brougt on quite a few of "family friendly" titles was because they wanted to find a balance between the two audiences.  If you really don't know Nintendo made this console to appeal to both hardcore and casual gamers, then you really did not do your research.

That's what I got from the conference, I really like what they showed as far as family games go personally, I'm also a PC gamer so..... uh, yeah..... Batman, ME3, DS2, and AC3 don't mean as much to me on Wii U, but Wii only owners should rejoice. I really dig ZombieU and Rayman Legends though, and I do dig teh Marioz. They are missing a lot of the important games for later or early next year still, which I suspect is the reason for the delay of so many 3rd party games right now is they want to make a Wii U port.

Notice I never said casual BTW? I said family console, take it however you will, it's not a bad thing at all, but I do also know it's more powerful than the 360 or PS3 when games are considered so yeah, so far there is a lot of wasted graphical power. I personally don't agree with Gilga's sentiment to where Nintendo shot themselves in the foot, as the PS3 is the most impressive console current gen yet is yielding the lowest results currently even though it has many top quality games so don't get all crazy on me =P
