Forgive me for saying so, but I think you should lay off the crack my friend.
I don't think that was the intention.
Whatever the intention is, it is a great idea. I can be playing Zelda Twilight Princess on my Wii U, and my friend can watch TV. That's awesome!
Who would have thought of not using your television to play the Wii? None other than Nintendo
Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.
Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

No. Nor do they probably care enough either.

Really!? Then head on over to this thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=129992&page=1#
| padib said: You think they don't care?? You watched the presentation. Reggie certainly cares Reggie: We've heard you. You want the same experiences, but with the buzz of the new. If he didn't care he wouldn't listen. Iwata: *Sweating during presentation, intent on increasing appreciation for Nintendo consoles by making them wider and deeper. Miyamoto: *Brings in a friggin orchestra to celebrate Link and Zelda's 25th anniversary. These guys definitely care about their business in a personal way, and I'll add that the title for their next bet (Wii U) is definitely something they put much thought into. To support, Reggie mentioned 2 or 3 variations of what the title could mean. If he didn't care why would he? |
I meant specifically about the name of the console, not about the business. At some point they decided on keeping the Wii brand, so the next logical step was attaching a letter or two to the original name. The 'U' was obviously chosen because of "you" (same as wii=we), suggesting more focus on the individual, the 'core', and not just the group, ie. the casuals..
Everything else after that is just market-speak and empty wordplay... I seriously cringed when Reggie mentioned 'Utopian'... how lame can you get??

| padib said: Reggie is an uptight schoolboy, what can I say? :) But even if it sounded lame the moment he said it, it's still eventually true. The thing pushes towards a utopia of fun. Maybe I'm too forward thinking, but I can just see the experiences this leads to. P.S. I know you were talking about the name not the business, but I was saying that they're both related. They care about the business in a personal way, and the name of their next bet (Wii U) is an important factor in that which they care about. |
Now I'm sure you're either completely stoned or working for the man.
I'm not saying the concept doesn't offer a bunch of cool new ideas, but so did the Wii remote, and that didn't work out so great...
Don't get excited based on possible games in your imagination. Those are always the most fun, and guaranteed system sellers too 
Wait for some actual games before you get so hyped, otherwise you're falling into the marketing trap.

Nintendo actually catered to third parties with this controller, so the wii mote comparison isn't really a fair one.

Should I compare it to the Gamecube then?
