I have mixed feelings about the presentation, but I'll resume them in 3 points:

1-Social Apps/Wiiverse. I don't like them. I'm not a social person, I don't have Twitter, Facebook, whatever so these things don't appeal to me and aren't a system seller. But I'm glad that they showed them in that Pre-E3 conference so I won't have to see them during the main conference.

2- Games. They only shoed demos from last year, the new Super Mario game (which looks very good) and that zombie game that can be a demo or a real game. Whatever it is, I've seen it better in the pics posted in this thread than in the video, so maybe it's just a demo and they don't want to spoil us with things that aren't real. The good part, besides the Mario game, is that the E3 conference will apparently be mostly about games, and that's always a good thing.

3-The controller. **Off topic: To be honest I got used to call it WiiU controller. I'll need a while to call it WiiU game pad.** So far I like the changes, and having a virtual keyboard in it will make using the internet browser a lot more easier. I don't like the moment during the video when, to make zoom, they did a double tap.  It mostly confirms that the touch screen will be resistive and not capacitive (multitouch).

But what picked my interest was the controller being used as a TV remote. I though the controller would be a dummy device that needed the console to function, and now it seems that it can do things by itself. Is this one of the changes that Gearbox said? Could the controller be something more than a simple controller? And if so, how much will it cost?

So far, I'm interested but not sold. I need to know more, specially about the games.

Should I buy the Wii U? Let's see what Non-Specific Action Figure has to say about it...



Guess I'm buying it!

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo released a global Nintendo Direct video revealing new information about the upcoming Wii U game console, including details about the system’s touch-screen controller, the Wii U GamePad. In the video, which can be viewed online at http://www.youtube.com/nintendo, Nintendo Global President Satoru Iwata illustrates how Wii U will revolutionize how people connect with games, each other and entertainment through the system’s unique and integrated second-screen controller. The Nintendo Direct video included information about:

New ways to play: With the television and the Wii U GamePad working as two integrated screens, Wii U creates unique possibilities for gaming, allowing “asymmetric” game play where each player can have different goals, challenges and views within the same shared gaming experience.

Miiverse: Miiverse is a brand-new network communication system that lets gamers from around the world share experiences, discuss games and discover new content. Using their personalized Mii character, players enter Miiverse and see games, applications or entertainment content that either they have interacted with recently, expressed interest in learning more about or that their friends are using or discussing. From here they can challenge their friends to play together, ask a question about a difficult level or discover new elements of their favorite games they never knew existed. After a notable achievement or other share-worthy moment, players can pause their game or application and seamlessly post messages to the Miiverse community.

Wii U GamePad controls: In addition to the previously announced touch-screen and motion controls, the Wii U GamePad was redesigned and improved from its reveal in 2011. The new form factor offers players dual analog stick controls and can be used as a remote control for users’ TVs, even while the Wii U console is turned off. Nintendo also announced availability of the Wii U Pro Controller as a separate peripheral.

Wii compatibility: All game discs for the Wii system are compatible with Wii U, and the system will support controllers for the Wii system.

Additional information about Wii U will be revealed at the Nintendo All-Access Presentation @ E3 2012, beginning at 9 a.m. Pacific time on Tuesday, June 5.

Time to sit back and enjoy the Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft, and EA conferences... but tomorrow's the big day! :D

Anyone know if the Sony conference is being played on T.V.? I couldn't find it to record it last night on my DVR... It's at 6:00 P.M. PST right?

G4 is airing it... yeah... The conference is 12 hours from now.

Smeags said: Oh poo, I'm famous on Photobucket and now all my pictures are gone. We still have the hype train though... we still have the hype train...

You could use imgur.com, it works rather well. And I don't think it has bandwidth restrictions.

Now that looks like a decent follow up to NSMB. I'm liking the eye candy and depth (world and achievements). (B)(E)(W)(i)(i)(V)(E) the hYPE!!

Perfect music, I'm glad you're in my wagon
