The hardware itself (of *slightly* greater significance, sarcasm fully intended), is looking pretty solid and should provide a great platform that can do anything that can be licensed to run on Windows PC, PS3 or Xbox 360.

The controller set up is almost exactly like using a PSV in tandem with the PS3 as an alternate controller.

Wii Remote > Wii U that is all I have to say.



the name wasn't what i expected, thought they would not go with the Wii title but it was too big a brand to abandon i guess

it will take some getting used to



 

I guess the name's OK.
They kept the (widely recognized) Wii...

I'd still have preferred Super Wii (in the vein of Super NES)...

Are we 100% sure on this? Looks like it supports the Wii too? Or does the controller support the Wii and Cafe and controllers can be used on both?

 

Wii U has 100% backwards compatability, and one of the games for Wii U uses the new controller and 2 wiimotes. It seems like all the shit we bought our Wii's will still be useful

I think Pachter was right, it is Wii HD. but named Wii U, or Wii Upgrade.

no

it was supposed to be the Nintendo U2, but Bono screwed that up and N just couldn't get over it.

 

 

Edit:  They should have let it go and went with: Wii Revision 1.

Greatest console name ever.



The string of terrible names for gaming platforms continues....



Nothing wrong with wanting to capitalize on the Wii brand but I don't like it. Luckily the name hardly matters....



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!
