"At last, a brand new console with a brand new controller." My feelings exactly. What good are shinier graphics if we're still stuck with a PS1 era dual analogue controller?

The Xbox and PS3 have sold a near combined 140 million consoles off the backs of games that almost entirely focus on nothing but dual stick gameplay. So obviously, people are fine with the concept. Besides, you DO know that the Wii U pad is basically just a regular controller with a DS in the middle, right? You're going to be playing the next Zelda with sticks and buttons just like you did with OOT lol

But I like the current controllers =(. I feel the new Nintendo controller is just way too big. I already have problems with the size of the xbox one lol.

If that is the case, I will not be buying the next Zelda, just like I won't be buying a PS4 unless they update their controller. Some people might be happy with 15 year old interfaces, but I want more.

The screen has the potential to make a big difference even if it still uses analogue. It's a step down from Wii Motion Plus, (though thankfully the system still supports this) but it's better than straight dual analogue.

I like it. No bullshit, just the message it needs to deliver.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

every point they make is like nothing is said

That had to be one of the most boring video game hardware commercials I have seen. No where near the brilliant of the wii commercial campaign. Hopefully there are better commercials down the road as this is just the start

it wasn't the best ad, but 99% of ads are terrible anyway.

I have the feeling that Nintendo wants everyone to know this is a new console, completely different from the Wii. After they get that out of the way there will probably be a stronger ad campaign, at least I hope so.
