I really liked that Interface! I thought it was interesting and clean. Great job Nintendo!

Now deliver on the Online Part!


Nah,it just appeared to look like a bunch of miis covering the tv screen with stuff on thier heads.I would've prefered a more app like design similar to the 3ds or the wii menu..I still haven't used it so i cant really say about it though

Whatever you say! I think it's interesting, besides, it looks like they also have a normal menu. (Did you see that little flap looking thing at the bottom of the screen while looking at the Miiverse? It looked like the old Wii Interface.)

The "normal" Wii type menu will be one the controller. He did say that there will be a more elegant menu on the controller that is swapable with the one on the TV. The TV is more of a this many people are playing this game on this netword type of thing.

 

And the WiiU controller is just an update to the Classic Controller Pro that is currently out for the Wii. (The shape and everything)

 

As for the black controller/possiblity for the a black console. During the skit the loser with the non-descript action Figure has a black Wii U.

So, checking out different sites and forums, and I love the fact that people that literally said "I won't play the Wii-U unless they use a traditional controller" before are now saying "now I can play a system with 360 level graphics with a 360 controller, talk about innovation Nintendo." Rol's been saying it forever and it's true, "hardcore" players don't like Nintendo, it's part of being hardcore.

I like the new Pro controller. I think people have been asking for this. That conference opens many doors for the upcoming week! I can't wait to see more from the software side of things!

Yeah, that pro controller looks like a wavebird. Pretty sweet! Way better grip than the classic controller....but before that he alluded to people wanting two Wii U Game Pads at once...did he ever address that? It seemed like he hinted at the fact that we wanted it but never answered.

I must admit that this Miiverse thing seems awesome. But the fact they introduce a Classic Controller proves that the GamePad is flawed.

Which leaves the important questions : which games? which price?


Doesn't mean it's flawed, it means enough people bitched about it and Nintendo wants to cover their bases.

Dammit I just missed the conference! Freakin school, getting in the way of my video games.. Did I miss any exciting news? I don't really feel like skimming multiple pages, but ah who am I kidding, I probably will anyway!
